"It's getting late. It's time for us to go now."
Pierre also stood up and suggested, "Since we are all here today, why don't we stay and have a meal together?"
Natalia refused coldly, "No, thank you, we still have something to do."
Then she walked out first.
Her attitude was obviously a little repulsive, making Pierre a little lost as he touched his nose.
Archie glanced at him and did not say anything. They already knew each other's meaning with just a look since it was not the first time that they knew each other.
Pierre smiled and said, "I need you to help me with this. Natalia hates me, but she should listen to you."
Archie pondered for a moment and said, "I will do my best, but I will also respect her ideas and I will not interfere in whatever her final decision is."
In fact, his words were equivalent to rejecting Pierre's request in disguise.
He had no choice but to nod. "Okay, I understand."
Then they left the Dragon Casino.
Charlie took a glance at the time and said, "It's late, there's nothing for you guys to do when you go back, so why don't you go to our house and have dinner on the way?"
Natalia was about to nod when her cell phone rang.
She picked it up, frowned slightly, and pressed the answer button.
It was a call from Wilson Kawn, who sounded a little anxious. "Natalia, are you still in Country F?"
She nodded and asked, "Why?"
Wilson said in a hurry, "Your grandfather is dying. If possible, you can book a ticket tonight and come back so that you can see him one last time."
Natalia was shocked and could hardly believe it.
She stood there frozen, only to feel her head suddenly go blank and her ears buzzing.
After a long time, she managed to her voice.
"How could it be... He was still fine when he called me a few days ago..."
Wilson was also a little depressed through the phone.
"He'll probably die in just a few days. A few months ago, your grandfather has been struggling, and he just managed to survive for a few months. Now he is exhausted. What he wants to do most now is to see you. I hope you can come back as soon as possible to fulfill his last wish."
Natalia was silent for a while, and her fingers, which were holding the mobile phone, tightened slightly.
After a long while, she said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I see. I'll arrange it right away."
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Archie as she was about to cry. Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"Archie McCarthy, Uncle said... Grandpa is dying."
In fact, when she answered the phone just now, Archie had already heard what Wilson said on the phone.
His face darkened slightly. He looked at the time on his watch and then turned to look at Charlie.
"Charlie, we have to go back tonight. It should be too late to book a ticket now. Please arrange it for us."
