CHAPTER 290: CHAPTER 290: GRANDMOTHER IS CRITICALLY ILL, YOUNG MASTER DAVIES IS IN DESPAIR AND RELAPSES...

After speaking, he quickly added, "I’ll be right back!"

Hanging up the phone, Adrian Davies immediately took the helicopter to Europe.

Due to the urgency of the situation, he didn’t have the time to inform Melody Parker when he left.

...

A few hours later, the helicopter landed on the rooftop of a private hospital.

Adrian Davies got off the helicopter and went straight to his grandmother’s ward in the Davies family.

Inside the ward, his grandmother lay quietly in the bed, oblivious to Adrian’s arrival.

Looking at his unconscious grandmother, filled with various medical instruments, Adrian’s expression was pained, his face full of sorrow, "Grandma, Adrian is here to see you."

No one responded.

His grandmother remained lying there peacefully, without moving.

Adrian turned his head to the room full of doctors, "What is going on? How are you taking care of my grandmother?!"

His aura was icy cold, too cold.

The temperature in the room followed suit, freezing.

His icy, sharp eyes fell on everyone present, like thousands of icy blades cutting through them.

The already intimidated group dared not breathe.

"Are you mute? Speak! What exactly is going on!" Adrian shouted angrily at the crowd.

The man who called Adrian earlier, the hospital director Paul Lee, appointed by Adrian, stepped out from the group.

He walked forward trembling, "President, the old lady is advanced in age, and..."

"Bullshit!" Adrian stood up and grabbed the man’s collar, "Tell me, what do you mean by advanced in age!"

Adrian was incredibly strong.

Paul Lee was lifted off the ground by him, struggling even to breathe.

"Speak!" Another angry shout, and Adrian’s grip tightened.

Under this crushing force, Paul Lee’s face turned red.

"Adrian..." A weak voice called softly from behind Adrian.

Adrian immediately let go of Paul Lee and returned to the bedside.

He crouched by the bed, looking at his frail-eyed grandmother with excitement, "Grandma, you’re awake?"

"Yes, grandma is awake." The old lady’s voice was incredibly light and weak, as if it could disappear at any moment.

Adrian tightly held the old lady’s hand, his voice trembling as he spoke, "Grandma, you’ll be okay, I won’t let anything happen to you!"

The old lady slightly curled the corners of her lips, a kind smile spreading on her aged face, "Adrian... grandma knows, grandma won’t live much longer."

"No, grandma will be fine, she’ll always be with Adrian!" Adrian looked at the old lady, his eyes slightly red.

"Adrian, grandma has lived long enough, you don’t need to be sad." The old lady looked peacefully at Adrian and continued, "Besides, you’ve now found a lifelong partner and have two adorable children, grandma can rest... and go see your grandfather."

Adrian lay by the old lady’s bedside, his face pale as he looked at the elderly woman, like a helpless child, "Grandma, I will definitely cure you! Definitely!"

The old lady smiled, "Adrian, no need to exhaust yourself trying to heal grandma... Grandma has been with you for so long, leaving your grandfather lonely underground for so many years, it’s time for grandma to join him."

...

After speaking with Adrian, the old lady fell asleep again.

Adrian looked at Paul Lee and asked calmly, "Tell me, what’s the state of her health?"

Paul Lee looked at Adrian and truthfully said, "The old lady’s life is at its end, she won’t live past this week."

The sudden blow was undoubtedly huge for Adrian!

Something he couldn’t bear at all!

All these years, it was his grandmother who accompanied him.

Although he knew that life and death were normal parts of life.

He was just a man, unable to control life and death.

Even Tannis confirmed last time that grandma’s body had reached its final stage.

But he never expected that grandma would leave so soon.

He couldn’t and didn’t want to accept this fact!...

The once clear sky suddenly turned black, terrifyingly black.

The terrifying, oppressive sky continued to press down, weighing heavily on hearts, making it difficult to breathe.

A thunderous boom echoed.

A blinding flash of lightning followed the thunder, tearing a rift in the ominous sky.

Raindrops began pouring down.

Adrian walked out of the hospital, standing in the pouring rain for a long time.

He didn’t take a car, wandering like a lost soul.

Anyone who tried to approach him or shelter him with an umbrella was pushed away.

When he returned to the castle, Adrian inevitably had a fever, followed by an episode.

But this time, he had no medication.

His only cure, his only salvation—Melody Parker, was not by his side.

The countdown to his grandmother’s life drove Adrian into a complete emotional breakdown during his fever and madness.

He smashed everything breakable in the castle.

The castle was a mess, yet Adrian’s mania did not improve.

Locke brought medicine to suppress Adrian’s mania, wanting to feed it to him.

But as soon as he approached, Adrian kicked him away, "Get lost!"

Locke stumbled back several steps before he regained his balance.

A trace of bright red blood flowed down his mouth as he steadied himself.

Unfazed, Locke continued to approach.

His injury didn’t matter.

He only feared that the manic president would accidentally hurt himself.

As Locke approached Adrian again, Bella Sutton arrived with Tannis.

Knowing Adrian had returned to Europe and had been caught in the rain, she guessed he would fall ill.

With Tannis, even Uncle Andrew, the old butler, wouldn’t stop her.

Not only did he not stop her, but he also immediately led her inside.

Seeing the chaos, witnessing the man’s madness, Bella’s heart ached profoundly.

"Adrian..." She softly called out, moving closer.

Hearing the woman’s voice, Adrian turned his head.

Once recognizing who she was, his symptoms worsened.

He pulled out a gun, pointing its dark barrel at Bella, "Get lost! Or die!"

Bella knew that Adrian could not be in contact with any woman during his episodes.

Looking at Adrian, she calmly reassured, "Adrian, I brought Tannis to treat you. Rest assured, I won’t come near you."
