Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1308 What Happens After Death

Sadie jumped out of the car, ignoring the kids, and dashed straight into the yard.

Seeing Hubert looking so frail, tears filled her eyes. She ran over, squatted down in front of him, grabbed his hand, and choked out, "Hubert, I'm here, I'm here." Hubert's lips curled up a bit. His weak hand gripped Sadie's tightly, like he wanted to say something but just couldn't.

Right then, the kids got out of the car and ran in. When they saw Hubert, they started crying, "Dr. Henry." But they remembered their promise to Sadie not to disturb him. So, even though they were crying, they bit their lips, their eyes red, trying not to cry too loudly.

"Kids," Hubert murmured, reaching out to them.

Annika and Arya quickly guided the kids over. The six of them surrounded Hubert, gently calling, "Dr. Henry, Dr. Henry."

Mary sobbed, "Dr. Henry, you gotta get better soon and buy me candy."

Mia choked up, "Dr. Henry, you said you'd teach me medicine. You can't break your promise."

Nathan cried quietly, "Dr. Henry, you said you'd take me to the mountains to catch little animals. Did you forget?"

Noah said, trembling, "Dr. Henry, weren't you gonna see my little invention? I brought it."

Emma and Donna whimpered softly, "Dr. Henry, you're a liar. You said you'd help us replace Daddy. You don't keep your promises..."

The kids cried sadly but tried hard to hold back, not wanting to disturb Hubert.

Sadie had promised not to cry, but she couldn't hold back her tears.

Hubert held their little hands, squinting at their cute faces, and slowly closed his eyes.

Sadie cried out, "Hubert, Hubert!"

The kids called out, "Dr. Henry!"

Percy and Paula cried out, "Mr. Henry!"

The yard was filled with cries, and the men in black outside all bowed their heads in silent mourning.

Micah stood to the side, quietly watching them, his emotions all over the place. Hubert lived to be 99; it was his fate. And he had to accept it.

He didn't think he could replace Riley anytime soon. Even if he did, Riley was Tristan's friend and, naturally, his enemy. How could he expect Riley to save him?

So, this last glimmer of hope wasn't really hope at all.

Andrew watched Hubert die with his own eyes and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He had also thought about the things Micah considered. He had held onto a sliver of hope, thinking Hubert could at least write out a treatment plan before he passed, but he hadn't finished it. Andrew now felt very sad. They had been searching for Riley for half a year with no news. Even if they found him, it would be hard to persuade Riley to treat Micah. But even if the hope was slim, they couldn't give up.

The breakfast on the table had gone cold, and a bunch of yellow wildflowers swayed in the wind, giving off a faint fragrance.

The sunlight was beautiful, shining on Hubert's kind face, making him look exceptionally peaceful and serene.

Sadie seemed to see his soul bathed in a golden light, slowly rising to the sky with the sunlight. After all, kind people should go to heaven. Maybe, in another world, he would meet Edmond. They could still raise their glasses and chat about trivial matters like they used to.

In the afternoon, Sadie started handling Hubert's funeral arrangements, following his wishes to transport his body back to Avalis.

Micah stayed with her the whole time, sending Hubert off on his final journey.

The kids also went along, mourning Hubert on the mountain.

Three days later, everything was settled.

Sadie wanted to take Paula and Percy with her, but they wanted to stay on the mountain with Hubert's tombstone, saying they would contact her in three months. Sadie didn't force them. After making sure they were settled, she took the kids and boarded a plane back to Biston.
