Chapter 39 Condolences

Seeing me cry, he managed a wry smile with a hoarse voice. "Child, don't cry. I was bound to die sooner or later. Death is a release. But I just didn't expect it to come so soon. I wanted to arrange your future f

I bit my l*p, my b*dy trembling uncontrollably with grief, almost unable to utter a word. I could only hold his hand tightly, trying to keep him with me in this way.

"Dad, please don't be in such a rush to go, okay? I still have so much to tell you. Five years ago, I wasn't willful, I didn't.....”

"My silly child," he interrupted, looking at me tenderly and smiling faintly. "It's okay, it's all in the past now. I've been too strict with you all these years, and I've wronged you. Yvette, the Scott Corporation will be I nodded, desperately trying to control my emotions, and said to him, "Dad, you can rest assured I will definitely take good care of Mom. I promise I will."

He nodded and sighed lightly. "The child in your belly... It's unfortunate that I won't get to see it. Yvette, if Idris is not a good man, you don't need to concern yourself too much with him in the future. Since he ha

My father's breathing grew weaker, and suddenly, the machines started beeping urgently. The doctors pulled me away, trying to bring my father back from the brink.

Stubborn to the end, he held on to his last breath, wanting to see my mother one last time. I stumbled out of the room to call my mother, but by the time I pulled her in, he had passed away.

"Kane!" my mother cried out, her voice cracking with despair. I stood frozen in place, my vision blurred by tears, with only my mother's crying echoing in my ears.

The doctors were probably used to life-and-death partings. Someone handed me a tissue and sighed softly. "Our condolences, please make preparations for the deceased's affairs early so that he may rest in peace."

I numbly nodded, watching as the devices and tubes that had tried to save my father's life were removed one by one. His b*dy was then cleaned up and taken out of the emergency room.

My mother followed shakily. I wanted to follow, but my legs felt as if they were filled with lead, and I could not muster any strength

A strong hand grasped mine-it was Idris". He pulled me out of the emergency room and took me to the morgue.

My mother still lay next to my father's b*dy, crying, trying to call him back with her sobs. Moore also knelt beside her, crying. The grief left me without the ability to think or act for a long time until the funeral hom there to transport my father's b*dy to the funeral home.

I nodded silently. The suddenness of his departure left me unsure of how to face it.

There were so many things in life that did not let one have the chance to prepare themselves for.

Just as my father's b*dy was sent to the funeral home, trouble arose at Scott Corporation. The call was from my father's secretary, Marcus Quinn, calling my father's phone.

1 answered the call, and the voice on the other end was urgent. Before I could say anything, he said, "After the chairman fell ill, a problem arose with GleamGate Media's finances, and several major sharehold Holding the phone, my voice was a bit hoarse as I said, "Uncle Marcus, it's me. My dad he's gone."

"Gone?" The voice on the other end seemed not to register the news, but then after a moment, it trembled. "Yvette, are you

saying the chairman is no longer with us?"

"Yes!" I said, my voice choked up. "The funeral home has already taken his b*dy away."

There was a long silence on the other end, followed by a heavy sigh. "Yvette, I offer my condolences, but if we don't deal with the GleamGate Media issue promptly, it might blow up. Now that your dad's gone, I understood his meaning and took a deep breath, "I understand, Uncle Marcus. Please keep the shareholders under control for now. I'll be right over."

After hanging up the phone, I took a deep breath. My mother was sitting in the corridor, somewhat dazed. Seeing her like this hurt me. My father's departure had been too abrupt.

"Mom." Walking over to her, I knelt in front of her, holding her hand, and said, "There's a problem at the company. I'll take you home, and after I handle the company's affairs, we'll go to the funeral home to see She stared blankly for a few seconds before her gaze gradually cleared, and then she said hoarsely, "What happened to the company?"

I told her truthfully, "I don't know the specifics. I'll take you home first, and then I'll head over there."

She nodded, pulling on my hand. "I'm fine. You go handle the company's affairs first. I can go home by myself."

I was worried about her and wanted to say more, but she pushed me, saying, "Go. The company's matters are important. I'll be fine." Chapter 40 What Did You Say to My Dad?
