With Thanksgiving just around the corner, she needed to figure out how to explain the situation with Hawthorne. She also had to consider whether the Langford patriarch and the rest of the family would be able to accept it.
Gwyneth Langford had far too much on her mind. After making sure Leonie wouldn't be cold, she returned to her room to rest.
In the middle of the night, Gwyneth was startled awake by her phone.
She saw nearly five missed calls from Victoria. A call from her at this hour had to mean something was wrong, so she immediately called back.
“Mom…”
“Gwyn, your grandfather was rushed to the emergency room today…”
Victoria’s tone was different this time. The last time, she’d sounded anxious, but Gwyneth suspected they were trying to trick her. This time, however, Victoria's voice was filled with an unmistakable, suppressed grief.
“What happened?”
Victoria explained the whole story. It turned out the Langford patriarch couldn't resist going to see McNeil.
He had tried every method imaginable to wake his only grandson. This time, he had spent a fortune to bring in a top specialist from abroad.
This specialist was his last hope. But when the medical team emerged from their consultation, the news that greeted the patriarch's hopeful expression was that McNeil would likely never wake up.
For years, the patriarch had been living on hope. This was the most devastating blow he could have received, and after so many years of waiting, it was an answer he simply couldn't accept.
The old man collapsed on the spot and was immediately sent to the intensive care unit.
Fortunately, after more than ten hours of emergency treatment, he was stabilized, but his spirit was completely shattered.
“I’ll come back tomorrow.”
