My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 395

He said calmly, "I'll dry your hair for you!"

I...

After my hair was all dried up, he finally made a move to leave.

As soon as I saw him leaving the house, I went straight to the office. I was planning to talk to Irvin about the Al issue. The project had just started and I still had many things about it that I hadn't quite figured out yet. So, I wanted to talk to him about them in detail.

However, after searching around for him, I heard from his assistant that he had gone to the hospital as Yohannes was in dire condition.

I called up Irvin several times, but he didn't pick up. Since I didn't know what was going on, I decided to give Nerissa a call.

When she picked up, heart-wrenching cries could be heard in the background, but it did not come from Nerissa.

I quietly asked, "Mrs. Roberts, how's Uncle Granger doing?"

"Please inform Hendrix that he had just passed. Tell him to come to the hospital with you. As for his funeral, ask Irvin to discuss it with him." Nerissa's voice was so calm, she almost sounded emotionless.

I was stunned by the news for a moment and couldn't react. Yohannes...had passed?

Wasn't he doing just fine before?

After asking for the hospital's address, I went straight over. Hendrix didn't answer the phone as he was busy. So, I only sent him a message informing him of the address before I went over.

When I arrived at the hospital, Yohannes had already taken his last breath. I saw Helen leading against the ward door, her body limp and weak. Her face was a haggard mess and she looked lifeless, soulless.

I shook my head and couldn't help but to worry about Irvin. His father had just passed away while his mother was acting like this. He always looked calm on the surface but I didn't know what was going on in his mind.

Yohannes' body had been sent to the funeral parlor to be cremated. The burial date was set for the following month. Once Irvin had settled everything, he sent Helen away.

Irvin looked at Nerissa and said quietly, "My father has handed over the management rights of the Granger Group to you. I will return to the company as soon as possible for the handover, and then back to Mesville."

Nerissa nodded, looking calm and collected.

I hesitated for a few seconds before I realized that it was Yohannes who had handed over the Granger Group to Nerissa. For a moment, I couldn't understand this. Irvin was Yohannes's own son, so why would he...

After saying that, Irvin walked out of the hospital, fatigue evident on his face. I followed him, and did not know how to comfort him. So, I just asked, "Irvin, have you eaten anything yet?"
