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 discomfort 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 flashing on her phone screen, a very bad
feeling crept into her heart.
Her fingertips trembled uncontrollably. She swiped the screen several times before finally answering the call. “Hello, who is this?”
“Ms. Sanford. Hi, I’m Mr. Dawson’s assistant, Quintus Lane.“Though Willow hadn’t 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 accept 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?”
Even as the screen of her phone turned black, Willow couldn’t accept the news Quintus had just delivered. How could Kenan, who was smiling at her just moments ago, suddenly be gone?
