Biting her bottom lip, Elaine shed tears when listening to him. She retorted in a low voice, “But... But these kinds of things are not for reasoning. Didn’t you cry when Grandpa Bancroft left?”

“No, I didn’t.”

Elaine looked at him in disbelief with her tearful eyes. Probably, she had never expected that he was so cold-hearted.

Darnell looked down to check his watch. “The jet will land in half an hour. If you want to cry, you can do it now. But you must know tears are the most useless things in this world. Crying can’t resolve any problems.”

Elaine choked. She didn’t cry out. Turning around, she trotted into the bedroom, locked from the inside, lay prone on the bed, and cried sadly.

Half an hour later, the jet landed in the private airport on time.

On the way to the hospital, Elaine leaned against the car window with reddish eyes, sobbing from time to time.

A lot of reporters were gathering at the door of the hospital. They heard about Hilbert’s sickness from nowhere, so they waited at the door for the latest news.

Outside and inside the hospital, members of the James family with different intentions came and go.

The black car was parked at the side door of the hospital, where several vehicles had been parked. None of them wanted to be interrupted by the reporters.

Elaine got down the car and rushed to the hospital. After she rushed a few steps, she heard a man’s voice behind.

“Stop.”

Elaine looked back and said between sobs, “What...”

Seeing Darnell walk towards her, she subconsciously stepped back.

Darnell said, “Stand still. Don’t move.”

Elaine immediately stood there motionlessly.

Darnell took off his suit jacket and put it on her shoulders. Then he walked forward.

Elaine was taken aback, looking down at herself. It wasn’t until then did she realize that she was still wearing pajamas.

She wrapped herself with the jacket, followed Darnell, and strode in.

A lot of people were gathered outside the ward.

When Darnell appeared, the tense atmosphere became even tenser.

Seeing Elaine behind him, they had different expressions.

Right then, Franklin walked out of the ward.

Elaine walked to him, ready to be hit. “Dad...”

However, Franklin didn’t blow up on her. He said, “Go ahead to meet your great-grandfather for the last time.”

Elaine’s tears that were just held back now started to drop again. She hurriedly walked into the ward.

In the war, Hilbert was lying on the bed as if he were sleeping.

Elaine squatted down and couldn’t help sobbing. “Great-grandpa...”

Hilbert opened his eyes a bit. His lips parted.copy right hot novel pub
