Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 634

William's eyes were lifeless. Though he seemed calm, a whirlwind of emotions churned inside him.

He quickly stood up and strode out of the living room.

"Let's go back," he said.

...

Henry's health had been declining for the past two years. He had been relying on a cocktail of medications to stay alive, but his time had slowly arrived.

Henry laid in a hospital bed, constantly mumbling his greatest "achievement" in a slurred voice.

"Will… Will…" Henry murmured,

Normally, there were at least two nurses and two bodyguards on duty. However, the room was empty that day.

A pair of pale, delicate hands slowly pushed the door open, and the sound of high heels echoed as a woman walked in.

"Will… Will…" Henry continued to murmur.

The woman approached the bed.

Henry's eyes were closed as he mumbled incoherently. It was hard to tell if it was simply a habit or if he was trying to communicate something important.

The woman spoke softly. "William blew off the partnership with the Aurora Group. He'll be back soon. Don't worry, Mr. Middleton Senior. Just hang in there a little longer."

Henry's frail body stiffened, and his lips twitched. "Blew… off?"

The woman explained, "Over the past two years, the Cloudex Corporation has invested so much into the Xanther Group. If one prospers, so does the other; and if one suffers, so does the other.

"Though losing the deal with Aurora won't immediately bring down the Xanther Group and the Cloudex Corporation, it's still a major setback."

Henry's breathing became labored. His sickness had darkened his complexion to a grim shade, making him look even closer to death's door.

He tried to open his eyes and turn his head to look at her. However, his body was no longer under his control. After a lengthy struggle, all he could manage was to bulge his eyes beneath his eyelid.
