Chapter 1528 Death
News of Arielle’s death traveled fast. The students in the school were in disbelief when they heard it. How can this be? Wasn’t she about to go back to Chanaea? Why did she suddenly pass away?
‘‘Sonia, do you know why Ms. Moore passed away?’‘ Bella asked. Sonia was still in shock over Arielle’s death as she wondered, How can this be true? She even asked me to meet her a month later. We were about to see each other again, so how she could just… No, this can’t be right. How can Arielle be dead?
Immediately, Sonia called her father. ‘‘Father, have you heard the news about Dr. Moore’s demise?’‘ Sonia quietly asked as she bit her lip. At the same time, she prayed that Arielle would be fine. Unfortunately, the answer from her father was a disappointing one.
‘‘Sonia,’‘ Lawrence started in a low tone. ‘‘Dr. Moore has indeed passed away. I just came back from the hospital.’‘
Upon hearing her father’s words, Sonia’s eyes reddened, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
‘‘Bella, Ms. Moore is…’‘ Sonia trailed off.
Bella knew that Sonia and Arielle had been in frequent contact ever since Arielle performed surgery on Sonia’s grandfather. She knew that the two women were on very good terms, but she never felt jealous about their friendship, for Sonia had never distanced herself from Bella even after getting close to Arielle.
After ruminating about the matter, Bella hugged her gently to give her a silent consolation.
In Bella’s arms, Sonia began bawling.
It was Bella’s first time seeing Sonia lose control of her emotions. Her heart ached, but she did not know how to console her friend other than softly pat her back.
‘‘W-What did you say?’‘ Dylan stammered out as he looked at Sybil. ‘‘S-Say it again. Say it one more time.’‘
Sybil stared at Dylan with reddened eyes, not knowing how else to break the news to the king.
‘‘Your Majesty, I’ve just received a call from Mr. Nightshire about the Princess. She…’‘ Sybil choked out. ‘‘The Princess suddenly lost her heartbeat… The doctor tried resuscitating her for over half an hour, but… but they couldn’t save her…’‘
The moment those words left Sybil’s mouth, Dylan slumped onto the couch.
‘‘No, that can’t be!’‘ Dylan bellowed as pangs of pain wrenched his heart. ‘‘Send me to the hospital. I have to see her with my own two eyes.’‘
How could my daughter leave me behind like this? I refuse to believe that my dear daughter is gone just like that.
Naturally, he had to see his daughter one last time no matter how heartbreaking it was for him.
Hence, Sybil quickly asked his men to prepare the car and brought Dylan to the military hospital. Once they arrived, everyone—other than those still busy with their tasks—appeared when they heard that the king had come.
‘‘Your Majesty!’‘
They all bowed to Dylan, and Dylan gave a wave to dismiss them as he only wanted to see his precious daughter.
Arielle was no civilian, so her body was kept in the ward she had been in previously.
The doctor led Dylan to Arielle’s ward. When Dylan saw Vinson looking at him with bloodshot eyes, the last trace of hope in Dylan’s heart dissipated.
He shakily walked over to Arielle’s bed and looked at his daughter, who was covered with a white sheet. Then, he reached out to pull it away. He wanted to see his daughter one more time—one last time.
However, his hands kept trembling, and he did not manage to pull the sheet away even after a few tries.
At that, Vinson reached out to tug the sheet a little lower. In the next second, Arielle’s face appeared.
