Chapter 625 Sending Her Off
Jonathan hadn't returned to Rose's place for three days. That was because he was trapped.
For some unknown reason, Eleanor suddenly decided to take care of him personally.
Although "personally taking care" of him didn't mean doing everything herself, she spent most of her time in the hospital.
Jonathan felt like he was glued to the ICU bed.
Eleanor seemed to genuinely care for him. Even before visiting hours, she was dressed in sterile clothing, hiding by the bedside, watching all the machines connected to Jonathan.
"Jonathan, you really need to get better. Finch Group is waiting for you, and so am I..."
"Ah, if I had known you cared so much about Rose, I would have made sure you two stayed together when she came to Regalia. Then we wouldn't be in this situation now..."
"Being separated by life and death must be tough on you..."
"You love her so much, and she surely loves you too. She also hopes that you will live well and not do anything foolish because of her."
Eleanor's voice initially gave Jonathan a headache.
She said so much, but the one thing that stuck with him was when she said, "She must love you too."
Afterward, those words took root in his heart.
Of course, Rose loved him! There was no doubt about it. Even if her love weren't strong enough now, he would have a lifetime for her to grow to love him deeply.
"Jonathan, it's all my fault. If I had known you were married to Rose earlier, I would have encouraged your relationship. You'd probably have kids by now."
Rose had passed away, and everything she had planned for had come to nothing.
"Why didn't they have a child? If they had a child, the connection between the Finch family, the Xanth family, and the Young family would be unbreakable."
The more Eleanor thought about it, the more she regretted it.
Children... Jonathan couldn't stop thinking about that word.
As he thought about it, a smile unexpectedly appeared on his face, which was adorned with special effects makeup.
"Jonathan...." Eleanor suddenly looked up and saw Jonathan smiling. The words she was about to say got stuck in her throat.
Was she imagining things? Did Jonathan just... smile?
Eleanor wanted to confirm it, so she signaled to the doctor accompanying her, while Leonard stood behind her.
The doctor hurriedly said, "Mrs. Finch Senior, visiting hours are over, and Mr. Finch is still in an uncertain condition and needs plenty of rest..."
"But...." Eleanor looked closely and noticed that the smile was gone from Jonathan's face.
"Was it just her imagination?
Perhaps the overwhelming sense of regret from a moment ago was too intense. She had started crying, and it must have been through her teary eyes that everything appeared blurry.
"Mrs. Finch Senior, please take care of yourself. We will look after Mr. Finch, and he will get better," the doctor reassured, already starting to break into a light sweat.
Eleanor didn't insist any longer and left the ICU.
Leonard and the doctor both let out a big sigh of relief once she had left.
Just now, they had also seen Jonathan's smile. He almost gave everything away!
"What? Why was he laughing?
Leonard glanced sorrowfully at Jonathan.
At that point, Jonathan sat up and removed the devices attached to him.
"Grandma hasn't gone back yet?" he asked.
He couldn't stay still for even a moment.
"The hospital has prepared a room for her, and she has been staying there these past few days. Earlier, she went back again. I overheard her making a call to Finch Manor, asking them to send over a few more changes of clothes. It seems like she's planning to stay for a while," Leonard said.
Leonard was keeping an eye on Jonathan's expression.
Indeed, his face, which was already showing signs of impatience, visibly drooped even further.
"No, this won't do!" Jonathan thought of Rose. He desperately wanted to see her.
But Eleanor insisted on staying at the hospital. He was unable to leave and couldn't take any risks.
He thought about Clover and got extremely frustrated, clenching his jaw.
If it weren't for him, he would be enjoying the pleasant scent of Rose's perfume right now instead of smelling disinfectant all day long.
"Mr. Finch, we've received news from Mr. Young that the shareholders' meeting for Young Group is happening the day after tomorrow, and after that, everything should get back on track." Leonard noticed that Jonathan was almost at his wits' end and hurriedly reported to him.
During this period, they all had to go along with some acting to keep others fooled.
It seemed like the end was almost in sight.
"The day after tomorrow?" Jonathan's expression instantly looked much better after hearing that.
Soon, a deep intensity appeared in his dark eyes. After a brief silence, he instructed Leonard, "Have Finley arrange for more people to ensure Rose's safety the day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow's shareholders' meeting was the day when everything would come to an end.
...
Over at Young Estate, Kelly put in her utmost effort and focused completely on the shareholders' meeting.
For the past few days, she had been going to bed particularly early every night, wanting to be in peak condition for that day.
The night before the shareholders' meeting, Kelly returned to her room as she usually did and laid out the designer gowns she had been buying over time.
After the shareholders' meeting, there would be a dinner party.
Because of Rose's death, the dinner party wouldn't be extravagant, but it was still a dinner party nonetheless.noveldrama
Tomorrow, Miles would transfer his shares to her, making her the largest shareholder of Young Group. This meant that she, Kelly, would have endless wealth at her disposal.
And all of this should have belonged to Rose. This thought made her feel even more excited in her heart.
Kelly looked through the gowns, quickly choosing a white one and then a red one.
Keeping a low profile?
Kelly was living the good life now. How could she keep a low profile?
She naturally had her own methods for making sure she would wear the red gown.
Kelly woke up early the next day.
As soon as she stepped outside, Kelly saw Miles already waiting downstairs. Their eyes met, and she immediately and excitedly called out to him, "Miles, are you waiting for me? Did I oversleep?"
Kelly went to the office with Miles every day.
The two of them almost always arrived and left together.
"It's not too late. Go have breakfast quickly. Where's your gown? I'll get it for you," Miles said as he got ready to go upstairs.
She only needed the gown for the evening, so it was best to just bring it along.
How could Kelly dare let him touch the gown?
"No need, no need. I've got everything ready. In a bit, I'll have the helper put them in the car. Miles, join me for breakfast..."
She used a coquettish voice on Miles. Once, when he heard it, it would definitely tug on his heartstrings.
But now, there was nothing left but an overwhelming sense of coldness and disgust for it.
"Alright." Miles smiled.
He told himself to hold out just for today. After today, she would go back to her usual self and drop the act.
"Miles, I'm a bit nervous. Do you think those elders won't like me?" Kelly was referring to the elders who came to the office last time when Rose was inheriting the estate.
Last time, it seemed like they were firmly supporting Rose.
This time, if she didn't get support, she was definitely going to deal with those old farts later.
"How can that be? They all used to really like Harriette!" Miles said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
Even if they didn't like her, he'd still make them "like" her!
If she wasn't put on a pedestal, how else would her true colors be revealed?
"Miles, I think it's best if you don't give me your shares. I'm worried I won't be able to handle it," Kelly said, looking troubled.
However, deep down, she was certain that Miles' decision would not change. He said he would give her the shares, so those shares belonged to her now!
When the time came, the others were going to be absolutely shocked!
