Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 375

The hall descended into chaos. Kelly never expected Oliver to take the hit for Rose.

She was stunned at the sight of Oliver slumping into Rose's arms. Before she could come back to her senses, somebody kicked her from behind and sent her out of the room.

Kelly fell to the ground with a loud bang. She grimaced from the pain following the sound of her bones dislocating, but no one cared about her at that moment.

Everyone nervously gathered around Oliver and expressed their worry. Kelly was stunned by the sight. It seemed as if she had finally woken up.

She had ruined everything. She harmed Oliver in front of everyone again. If something really happened to Oliver, Jonathan would never let her off.

At that moment, she only had one idea. Run! Now that everyone in the hall was distracted, it was her chance! No one noticed that Kelly was dragging herself out in pain.

"Ro… Rose…" Oliver was barely breathing as he gazed at Rose. He seemed to have a lot to say to her, but he probably couldn't make it any longer.

"Grandpa, I'm here… I'm here. The doctors will be here soon…" Rose's heart sank as she held Oliver's hand tightly. She had never felt such panic before.

Rose's mind kept replaying the scene where Oliver stood in front of her and tears started flowing from her eyes. She sobbed, "How could you… How could you do such a foolish thing…"

Even if Kelly hurt her, she'd rather take it on herself than have Oliver protect her.

"Don't… cry…" Oliver raised his hand and wiped her tears.

His frail movement made it seem like he would pass away at any moment. Yet, he still held on.

Oliver stared at Rose, wanting to look at her for longer. He kept mumbling, "You resemble her… a lot…"

Oliver could see Rietta in Rose whenever he looked at Rose's eyes. Now, when he looked at those eyes, he finally saw Rose as she was. She was his granddaughter!

He remembered the time Rose saved him on the ship. Thankfully Jonathan came in time to rescue her, otherwise…

He wouldn't be able to forgive himself even if he died. Thankfully… Thankfully Rose was saved.

Oliver seemed to think of something. "Miles…"

"Grandpa…" Miles approached him with a solemn expression, worry etched on his face.

Oliver stared at Miles seriously. "Remember what I told you…"

Before Miles could reply, Oliver couldn't hold on anymore. He used all his strength to look at Rose one last time, wishing he could etch her into his memory.

He wanted to look at her more, but unfortunately… Oliver's hand that was wiping off Rose's tears fell lifelessly as he closed his eyes.

The air seemed to go still for a brief moment. Then, the room sprung back into chaos.

"Grandpa…"

The room burst into sounds of sobbing and screaming while Oliver lay in Rose's arms, laying completely still.

Rose felt numb. She didn't dare to think about the possibility that…

Nonetheless, someone reached out to check Oliver's breath. It was none other than Chloe. She immediately came to a conclusion and retracted her hand.
