NovelOnlineChapter 635 The Father's Death William froze in his tracks. For a few seconds, his mind went blank until he heard the urgent calls from the doctor from the ward.
"Mr. Middleton Senior! Mr. Middleton Senior!" the doctor yelled.
He closed his eyes briefly, then resumed walking and entered the ward.
The doctor looked at William, his face heavy with sorrow. "Mr. Middleton Senior has... passed away." As William silently approached Henry, he noticed that Henry's eyes were still open. They were clouded, devoid of any light.
Henry had dedicated most of his life to the Cloudex Corporation, doing everything in his power for its success. Now, his thas come, yet he left the world in distress.

We conducted several rounds of resuscitation, but his body was simply too far gone." William reached out and gently closed Henry's eyelids with his hand.
"I understand," William replied, his voice was hoarse.
The doctor exchanged glances with his colleagues and offered a final condolence. "Please accept our deepest sympathies." The medical staff then left the room.
Ashton and Fabian entered, waiting for instructions.
William's expression was flat and impassive. "Notify the Middleton family and the shareholders. Have Uncle Gideon and Uncle Edmund handle the funeral arrangements. And direct the PR department to issue a public announcement." "Yes, sir," Ashton and Fabian both answered.
"Dear! Dear!" Before Vanessa even entered the ward, her mournful cries echoed through the hallway. William lowered his gaze and exited the ward, uninterested in watching her put on a show.
Vanessa collapsed in front of the hospital bed as she wailed, "Dear, you said you wanted to eat the porridge I made, didn't you? I went back hto make it for you. I just left for a while, and you've left us! How could you abandon us like this? What are we supposed to do now..." William walked to the window in the hallway. Moments ago, his visage appeared normal, but as the dusk light washed over him, his face turned pale.
He pressed his hand against the window ledge in what seemed like a casual gesture. However, he might also be using it to steady himself if he was struggling to stand.
William's relationship with Henry had always been strained. Despite that, he was still his father. Now that he was gone, William couldn't remain indifferent.
Ashton carefully said, "Mr. Middleton, I spoke with the doctor. Mr. Middleton Senior passed away quickly without much pain." William leaned on the ledge for a moment before withdrawing his hand. A man like him would never show weakness in front of others unless he truly couldn't hold it together any longer. Even though this is hardly considered a sign of weakness.
"Where were the nurses and bodyguards?" William asked, his voice was cold.

Fabian paused for a moment and turned her head sharply. She had only just realized that those supposed to bewerten over Henry weren't around. On top of that, she was responsible for Henry's ward. "I'll look into it right away!" she said with a shiver. William glanced out the window. The last rays of sunlight faded below the horizon, and the night approaches.
It didn't take long to find out what happened. Soon, Fabian soon returned with an update. "Mr.om the nurse went to the Middleton, therestroom, and the bodyguard stepped out to grab stakeout.
They thought it would only take a moment. They didn't expect something would happen..." "They were distracted," William replied, his tone was flat.
"Distracted? Are you saying someone else was here? That Mr. Middleton Senior was. Vill check the security footage right away!" Fabian clenched her teeth. William replied, "Fire the nurse and the bodyguard." "Yes, sir," Fabian said.
As Fabian left to investigate, Vanessa walked over, sobbing. "Will, your father left us without a word. What are we going to do now?" Peter Grill X Let it Loose! CH/F-PSE
