Chapter 149 One Last Time
Troy was nervous and immediately responded, “I will be there right away!”
“Don’t let Imogen know.”
“I understand.”
Before leaving, Troy went back to the master bedroom. “Imogen, there is some work to be handed over at the company, so I need to be there.”
“Go. I have Sue at home to accompany me.” Imogen didn’t think much about it.
When Troy rushed to the hospital, the lights in the emergency room were still on.
Layla and a servant Daisy sat on chairs outside and waited.
“Grandma!” Troy quickly walked to Layla, worried and anxious. “What’s going on? Why did Grandpa suddenly…”
Layla sighed sullenly and did not speak.
Daisy took a look at Troy. “Ms. Page came this morning, and I don’t know what she said to Henry… Then Henry knew what happened in the company, and suddenly…”
Troy bit his lips, and a flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes. Troy took a deep breath, walked to the fire escape entrance, and made a phone call. “Sarah showed up at the Marshall villa this morning. Find her as soon as possible!”
“Understood.”
After the phone call, Troy returned to the waiting area, knelt on one knee in front of Layla, held Layla’s hand, and looked at her with red eyes. “Grandma, blame me for this.”
If Troy didn’t take Sarah back to the country, Imogen wouldn’t want to divorce him, and this kind of thing wouldn’t happen.
This kind of thing would not have happened if Troy had sent Sarah away.
The culprit of these things was him.
“Good boy. Get up.” Layla immediately reached out to hold him. “I don’t blame you. I just didn’t expect Leo…”
“Grandma!” Leo rushed from the elevator and asked anxiously, “How is Grandpa?”
Layla shook her head. “Under rescue inside…”
“How could Grandpa suddenly…”
Daisy told Leo what she just said to Troy.
Hearing that Sarah met Henry alone and said something, Leo’s expression changed slightly. He turned his head away indistinctly and slapped himself twice. “It is all my fault! It is all my fault!” Judith, Troy’s cousin Nicolas Marshall, and Agnes rushed over one after another.
An hour later, the red light in the emergency room turned green. Willard came out, took off his mask, looked around at everyone, shook his head, and sighed. “Go inside and see Henry one last time.”
These words were like a stick hitting Troy’s head, making him dizzy with buzzing around his
ears…
Layla was shocked.
“Grandma!”
“Grandma!”
Troy and Leo responded quickly and held Layla.
Layla took a breath, and her eyes were red. She braced herself. “Help me in.”
The two helped Layla into the emergency room.
On the operating table, Henry lay motionless on it with his eyes closed and his face gray. He looked lifeless.
“Grandpa!”
“Dad!”
Leo, Agnes, Judith, and Nicolas were on both sides of the operating table and couldn’t help crying.
Troy stood about one meter from the operating table, looking at Henry’s body.
In the shadows, his eyes were dark, obscure, and forbearing.
He looked mournful and bowed deeply.
“You all

Judith said, “Mom, take care of yourself.”
“I will.”
Nicolas stopped in front of Troy. “Troy, let’s go out first.”
“Okay.”
Troy walked out of the operating room without saying a word.
Leaving the operating room, Nicolas immediately contacted Aaron Marshall, Henry’s second son, who was on a business trip.
Agnes comforted Leo with a few words, and Leo then asked his secretary to contact the funeral parlor, contact the close relatives, and prepare all the funeral things.
He hung up
the phone, turned around, and saw Troy. Troy sat on a chair by himself, looked absent–minded, and stared ahead motionlessly, like a stone.
Leo walked over and patted him on the shoulder lightly. “Troy.”
Troy returned to his senses, looked at Leo’s worried expression, and said hoarsely, “Leo, I’m fine.”
Troy could not accept it for a moment.
Henry to Troy was like Ignacio to Imogen.
Troy didn’t know who his mother was and didn’t remember what his father looked like.
From the time he can remember, he was by Henry’s side.
It was Henry and Layla who brought Troy up. Although they were his grandparents, they were more like his parents.
“Do you want to tell Imogen?”
“Let’s keep it a secret for the time being. Her fetus is unstable now. I’m afraid she won’t be able to

But he knew such a big matter could not be kept secret for long.
“Alright.”
“Leo, Troy, reporters are here.” Nicolas pointed not far away.
Leo said, “Let the security guards stop them, and I will ask the bodyguard to come over.”
The chairman of the board of Marshall Group was hospitalized urgently today, and the president of Marshall Group changed. These were big news for some media.
These days, to attract eyes, many media were unconscionable. There was a female star who was critically ill with cancer, and a group of reporters waited in front of her ward, waiting for the moment the doctor announced her death to release the news.
However, there were too many reporters, and the security guards didn’t dare to forcefully stop them. It was a mess.
Someone rushed to the emergency room, looked around, and took the camera on Troy. “Mr. Marshall. Hello. May I ask you…”
Boom.
The reporter looked at the broken camera on the ground and then at Troy, who stood up. The reporter was stunned. The rest of the words stuck in his throat, and he took them back. Troy clapped his hands, took out a business card from his suit’s inner pocket without emotion, and threw it slightly on the ground. “How much is it? Please contact my secretary.”
Leo immediately came over, patted Troy on the shoulder to calm him down, and said to the reporter, “I’m very sorry. Our family is very sad that Grandpa passed away. We can’t accept interviews right now. We will talk about it after the memorial service.”
However, some reporters were not satisfied. They stood in the distance, took a few photos in front of the emergency room, and released the news instantly with a hashtag: “Henry Marshall, the chairman of the board of the Marshall Group, died of illness at ten o’clock, November 1, in Mount West Hospital“.
The accompanying picture was a photo in front of the emergency room. Troy sat on a chair at a loss at the door with a blurred background.
Related topics introduced the life of Henry.
Perhaps, in the past, this news did not attract much attention.
The revelations early and the interviews made more people know Troy, and more people noticed
the news.
Although there were discordant voices, most netizens upheld the attitude of respecting the dead. There were many lit candles and under the news. Netizens: [Rest in peace.]
Someone netizens: [For your information, this is Troy’s grandfather. Rest in peace.]
Not long after Troy left, Imogen felt restless and didn’t turn the book pages for a long time.
She touched her abdomen, put down the book, and lay on the bed.
After pregnancy, for the sake of the baby, Imogen seldom used electronic devices. And she mobile phone on the bedside table and didn’t use it often.

She only looked at it unless there was a message.
But Imogen suddenly received a strange multimedia message.

Imogen was shocked.
