Chapter 299 - Cause of death?

Giving Seraphina's privacy, Liam hanged his head low and wordlessly came out. When he stepped his foot outside, her new bodyguard slash assistant named Rex was guarding the door outside while the other medical staff vanished.

In his peripheral vision, he sees Seraphina's other two guards rushing their way to where he and Rex stands. Since the room was built meticulously, no one from the outside could hear Seraphina's cries.

However, Liam was a little baffled that these men arrived earlier than the other Yue family members. Liam knew that Seraphina won't have enough time to do the next arrangements for her grandfather's body thus, the Jin medical group will automatically provide these preparations -- and probably, will shoulder all the expenses since Sebastian Yue and old man Jin were close buddies.

Darting his gaze back on Rex, Liam approached him about informing other close friends like Henry Man regarding the news. Which Rex immediately executed afterward -- entrusting Seraphina to his other two confidant's Riggs and Ace.

Seraphina could feel the warmth of her grandfather slowly vanished and was left with only coldness. This… this kind of feeling, these unacceptable emotions that Seraphina was unwilling to welcome came surging inside her heart like a super typhoon.

Actually, the feelings were very similar in her previous life. The only difference this time is, before, she witnessed him getting beat up to death before a bullet went through his skull. While in the present day, she could feel his warmth slowly fades along with his life.

Can these two circ_u_mstances be compared? No, because the devastating state she was currently experiencing isn't any better. It was the same pain that even Seraphina couldn't express with words; she just can't. She went through a lot and her only wish was for her grandfather to have a long and peaceful life.

Alas, her prayers were rendered shun. The only person that kept her sane to her abnormal life; Sebastian Yue, the person that would give the whole world if she asked him to -- how can he just die just like that? How can he leave this world without saying a word to her?

Therefore, how can she accept that she wasn't there on his last moments? She doesn't even know his last words… on a second note, was it appropriate to blame Sebastian Yue? After all, this is real life.

One will die even before you know it; without any short notice. It doesn't matter if you wasted your life or enjoyed it to the fullest because death is inevitable. Seraphina fathomed that howbeit she couldn't simply condone it no matter what.

Bawling her eyes out as the pain that was slashing her heart into pieces and then stitched it back just to ripped it again. The cycle continues for how long until she could no longer shed tears. Her throat dried up like a dessert as hiccups were heard.

"Grandpa…" she mumbled lifelessly as her pair of lethargic eyes were motionless and barely blinking. By the looks of it, Seraphina seemed to lose it as she inexpressively peered at Sebastian Yue's unmoving face.

That night, every close friend, business partners and all the Yue family employees received the grief-stricken news about Chairman Sebastian Yue; the founder of the Yue International Enterprise death.

That very night, condolences and comforting flowers were sent to the Yue family which Seraphina was unaware about as she spent hours inside the hospital room where Sebastian Yue lays.

After Rex informed Henry Man about the news, he came back to where he left Riggs and Ace but to his surprise, he was told that Seraphina was still inside.

"What do you mean she's still inside? You didn't check?" Rex brows knitted in disbelief and dismay. Since he overheard the medical staff about transferring Sebastian Yue to the morgue, it will only take minutes for them to arrive in here. Hence, Rex wanted to make sure that Seraphina could step aside as he was afraid that she might cause a scene.

Faintly knocking on the door, Rex didn't stall any more time as he slowly opened the door and entered without a word; behind him were Riggs and Ace who's curious on the situation inside.

To their surprise, Seraphina was just sitting on a chair, facing Sebastian Yue. Since they could only see her lonesome back, Rex stopped steps away from her. Meanwhile, Riggs who was much concerned about her rather than his life; he strode and halted when he reached the southern side of the bed where Sebastian Yue's feet positioned.

Riggs shifted his gaze to Seraphina which made his brows knitted afterward. Seeing Riggs expression, Ace who was a curious cat slowly went to his confidant's side. Seeing Seraphina's front, a never before fear run down his spine.

Her devoid of emotion front, her eyes that lost its gleam albeit a little puffy, her lips were dry and pale -- it was as if Seraphina was going through a lot of shock. However, the aura that emanated within her was too strong that Ace wouldn't dare to approach. Ace glanced at Rex who kept his distance from her. Surely, Rex had a much keen sense and probably the reason why stopped several feet away from Seraphina.

A minute had passed, yet, none of them dared to utter a word because, for some reason, the three of them could understand her silent mourning. They were gravitating whether to wait for her to break the silence which seemed to be impossible or should they inform her about Sebastian Yue's transfer.

However, just as Rex decided to choose the latter, he was halted because Seraphina raised her hands gesturing him to cease. Just then, Liam Jin along with a few medical staff knocked on the door before intruding.

"Ser--" alas, before Liam could even spat his concern, she abruptly interrupted him.

"What's the cause of death?" Hearing her words, the whole ward on that floor dropped its temperature to negative zero.
