Chapter 1060
Catelyn nodded, looking worriedly at the intensive care unit...
Last night, she was still reassuring Cedrick that everything would be fine. However, things just go differently than we want all the time.
At this moment, the door of the intensive care unit was pushed open, and a nurse ran over. "Miss Coleman is dying. Come in quick if you want to see her for the last time!"
Regardless of the infection of the germs around, everyone just hurried in. For many people, Janice's death was not the most important thing.
Everyone was there because they knew Cedrick cared about her, and now was the perfect time for them to be at his side to 'show their sympathy'.
Catelyn walked toward the hospital bed. Over there, Cedrick was sitting beside it, holding Janice's hand. His eyes were filled with scarlet bloodshot, and a circle of stubble appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had not been shaving for days!
Janice was lying on the bed with an oxygen mask covering her mouth and nose. A thin layer of water mist formed within the transparent mask as she breathed out.
Because of the craniotomy, Janice's head was wrapped with thick white gauze. The hospital gown looked loose on her body, which set off her skinny figure. She could not speak, but she was able to sense the movement of people coming into the ward.
She grasped Cedrick's hand suddenly with a little strength, and a few tears slowly rolled down from the end of her eyes...
"I'm here, Auntie. I'm here..." Cedrick leaned closer and whispered softly in her ear.
Janice's lips seemed to twitch twice, but no one could hear what she said.
The cold wind blew strongly outside of the window like the roar of a devil.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Janice Coleman passed away peacefully with Cedrick by her side.
Cedrick could not accept any of this. He knelt upright by the bed, putting his trembling hands on Janice's forehead, tidying her slightly messy hair.
Janice had not been in good health, but no one had expected her departure to be like this. In fact, it had to happen after the wedding of the century.
If there was no wedding, or if the wedding was not held on the island, or if certain people were not invited to the wedding, perhaps she would still be alive...
Catelyn saw Cedrick's back was trembling in sadness. She went over with red eyes and knelt beside him. She reached out her hand, wanting to hold Janice's hand...
Cedrick slapped her hand away all of a sudden. "Don't touch her!"
His voice was cold as an ice pick, piercing into her heart.
Catelyn gasped as she stared at Cedrick in astonishment. Before she could react, he stood up suddenly and covered Janice's body with the blanket, and carried her up.
Everyone was stunned. Even Eason and Draco looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Ceddy, what are you doing?" asked Catelyn in horror, grabbing Cedrick's clothes.
