Chapter 414
Arabella's limbs were very cold. Today was supposed to be a day of reunion, but she didn't expect her grandpa to have been poisoned. The reunion became a farewell.
All her joy was instantly extinguished. Arabella tightly held Shaun's hands, her eyes misting, and said, "Grandpa, don't leave me, please. You are my only relative."
Shaun touched Arabella's head and then looked at Seth.
Seth knelt down by the bed with a "plop" and cried, "Dad!"
Shaun said his last words, "Bella is the host of our family, and the entire family must obey her, including the Snyder family in Faykarta. After I die, the Snyder family in Faykarta will send someone to take Bella to Faykarta . You're not competent, so don't go with her. Just muddle along in Faykarta."
Seth had never expected that Shaun's last words to him would be "muddling along". The two words contained sadness of both Shaun and his son.
Shaun slowly closed his eyes and passed away peacefully.
Arabella's eyes were misted with tears, "Grandpa! Grandpa!"
Seth, an orphan without a father, cried and screamed by the bed.
...
The hospital was shrouded in sadness. Arabella sat on the cold bench of the hospital, her eyes red and swollen. Her grandpa's departure took away her longing and reluctance toward Faykarta.
Aurora handed her a cup of hot water and said, "Bella, Shaun left very peacefully. Don't be so sad. The most important thing now is to find out who poisoned him."
