Richard was standing at the door of the ward, and he happened to see Halbert die. Amy was also shocked. Why did Halbert look like that when he saw her?
Richard rushed to Halbert and pushed Amy aside. He called the doctor in a hurry. Amy was pushed by Richard and hit on the bedside table.
Doctors ran into the ward in a hurry and they looked shocked as they saw Halbert. Amy was covering her head, and there was blood running down her face.
What was going on in here? Halbert's situation suddenly changed.
Andy tried to check on Halbert, but Richard stopped her. The doctor tried to save Halbert, but it was too late.
"Sorry, we did our best. I'm sorry." said the doctor.
"No, no, Halbert, Halbert, you can't die, you can't. Didn't you say you would protect me for the rest of my life? Don't leave me!" Cathy cried hard as the doctor covered Halbert's face. She was overwhelmed by distress and held Halbert's hand to prevent the doctor from covering his face.
"Mom, please get up." Richard couldn't bear to look at Amy. He had to deal with his father's death.
Andy helped Amy to her feet. Amy was shocked by what she saw. If she had known that coming to see Halbert would kill him, she would never have come.
"How did that happen? How did this happen?" Amy shook her head and she didn't know why.
"Please leave here, Miss Newell. You are not welcome here. Andy, please take Miss Newell away, quickly, I don't want to see her again!" Richard wanted to get rid of Amy. If she didn't leave soon, she couldn't leave when the Carters came.
"But that has nothing to do with me, Richard, Richard." Amy wanted to say something, but Andy knew what Richard meant and he pulled Amy away.
"Andy, I didn't kill his father. I didn't." Amy was panicked. She had a bearing on her father's death, and now even on her father-in-law's death. She didn't want Richard to misunderstand her.
"Let's go. You can talk about it some other time." Seeing that Amy did not want to leave, Andy picked her up and left the hospital despite her objection.
Soon the Carter family showed up, Jacob, Sophia, and Addy, all coming into the hospital room with darkened faces.
Everyone was here except William who had escaped and Hilary who was playing outside, and Grandma Eva who was lying in bed.
