Chapter 210


    Willow’s stomach was still in pain. She didn’t want to move, but she had to sign the contract. She pushed


    through the difort and got up.


    Her phone had been destroyed by those four men yesterday. She feared Kenan might try to reach her once he woke up, so she headed to the mall to buy a new phone and a new SIM card of the same number


    after a simple meal.


    As she inserted the SIM card into her new phone, it immediately started ringing.


    For some reason, as Willow stared at the unfamiliar number shing on her phone screen, a very bad


    feeling crept into her heart.


    Her fingertips trembled uncontrobly. She swiped the screen several times before finally answering the <b>call</b>. “Hello, who is this?”


    “Ms. Sanford. Hi, I’m Mr. Dawson’s assistant, Quintus Lane.“Though Willow <b>hadn’t </b>saved Quintus‘ number, she had seen him and spoken to him before. It was indeed his voice on the other end.


    “Yes, Mr. Lane. How is Mr. Dawson’s condition? Has he woken up? There are so many bodyguards outside the hospital. I can’t get in. Could you please arrange for me to see Mr. Dawson?”


    “Ms. Sanford, Mr. Dawson…


    Quintus‘ voice choked up, and Willow’s sense of dread intensified. She nervously held her breath, afraid of


    what Quintus might say next.


    “Mr. Dawson’s condition suddenly worsened early this morning. Despite the doctor’s best efforts, he


    passed away.


    “Ms. Sanford, please ept my condolences. Before Mr. Dawson passed away, he woke up once. Hel said he hoped you wouldn’t be sad for him and that he wished you could live a happy life.”


    “What?” Willow’s hand shook so much that she could barely hold the phone.


    What are you talking about, Mr. Lane? Wasn’t Mr. Dawson out of danger already? How could his condition suddenly worsen?”


    “I’m sorry, Ms. Sanford, I’ll fulfill Mr. Dawson’s final wish and bring his ashes to you this afternoon.” Quintus‘ voice choked up. He quickly hung up after saying that, as if afraid he might break down.


    Even as the screen of her phone turned ck, Willow couldn’t ept the news Quintus <b>had </b>just delivered. How could Kenan, who was smiling at her just moments ago, suddenly be gone?


    Quintus was Kenan’s closest aide, so he wouldn’t lie to her. Still, she refused to believe that Kenan was really gone.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    She needed to see it for herself. Kenan must still be lying in the ward. If she went to the hospital, she would see that he was still alive and realize that this was all just a prank.


    With that thought in mind, Willow wasted no time. She hailed a cab and rushed to the private hospital

    where Kenan was staying.


    If the bodyguards refused to let her in, she would call Quintus toe down and escort her.

    Arriving at the hospital gates, she noticed that the guards who had been stationed there were nowhere to


    be seen. Willow’s heart pounded even harder.


    While she had resented those guards for blocking her from seeing Kenan, their absence now filled her


    with dread.


    She sprinted toward Kenan’s

    <li>om. As she reached the door, she saw that even the guards outside his</li>


    </ol>


    room were gone, leaving only two nurses tidying up the bed.


    Seeing the empty bed, Willow struggled to breathe. But she still clung to a glimmer of hope.


    “Excuse me, where’s the patient who was staying in this room? His name is Kenan Dawson. He had a car


    ident and was staying in this room.


    “Why isn’t he here anymore? Did he get moved to another room or transferred to another hospital?”
