Hold On Mr.! Your Sweetheart is a Real Queen-Chapter 744: He died

Daisy Ginger’s words were like a slap that struck her face hard.

Charlotte Smith’s complexion went through a mix of green and white; her pale lips quivered for a while before she slowly quieted down.

She kept her head down and did not speak further.

Daisy Ginger was momentarily at a loss for words; she and Charlotte Smith never got along, and staying to care for her was merely out of a small sense of sympathy.

"You should go back." After a while, Daisy Ginger said softly, "You staying here isn’t of any use, is it? Let the doctors handle the professional matters."

Charlotte hung her head, her long black hair cascading down, as crystalline drops gradually formed on her pointed chin.

Not expecting to make someone cry, Daisy Ginger found herself a bit embarrassed, pursing her lips helplessly and looking aside.

Charlotte slowly walked to the side. Instead of leaving, she merely sat down hugging her knees, about a meter away from the glass separating her from the operating room.

Underneath the blue and white hospital gown, her pale and thin ankles revealed bluish veins beneath the hospital’s bright white lights.

Daisy looked at her bloodless face.

This woman was only a few years older than her, yet she was already worn out beyond recognition.

She and Robert Stephens, one had tormented themselves to death, the other was already half-dead.

Though she didn’t quite understand why Charlotte still cared for Robert, she couldn’t help but feel a bit sympathetic.

Seeing that Charlotte refused to leave, Daisy said no more. Erin Ginger called, asking when she would return home. Daisy told the bodyguard and did not continue to deal with Charlotte, leaving the hospital and returning home.

The next news from the hospital was the obituary of Robert Stephens.

Perhaps they had long been mentally prepared, for Edward Stephens’s voice was calm when he called. Daisy, unsure how to comfort him, softly replied, and after a moment of silence between them, they hung up the phone.

The doctor said Robert’s good condition in the morning was a sign of terminal lucidity.

In short, he was close to death, with all the cells and organs in his body giving up resisting the illness, dedicating their energy to support the patient through the final period.

At this time, the patient appears rosy-cheeked, even experiencing an unprecedented ease, leading the family to mistakenly believe the patient has recovered.

Perhaps knowing he was near death, Robert wrote a will demanding Charlotte should never contact the Stephens family again, but at the end, he regretted it, asking Edward to let him see her and George again.

The human heart is fickle; no one knows what thoughts come next, only wondering whether Robert regretted meeting Charlotte afterward.

When rescued from the cinema, his heart had already stopped beating, and after more than three hours of resuscitation, he was ultimately declared brain dead.

Daisy comforted Erin Ginger to sleep, then stood at the window, unable to resist looking towards the hospital.

She did not know how Charlotte faced the death of Robert alone.

No one knows better than her what it feels like to watch as one’s loved one dies in their arms.

She still had Edward. But what did she have in her future?

Robert’s body was soon sent to the funeral home, followed by cremation.

Only members of the Stephens family could attend the funeral, and like all deceased members of the Stephens family, he was laid to rest in the Stephens family cemetery.

Daisy, not having remarried Edward, was not eligible to attend, but Edward still took Erin Ginger there.
