Contract Marriage With Mysterious President novel Chapter 270

Richard was standing at the door of the ward, and he happened to see Halbert die. Amy was also shocked. Why did Halbert look like that when he saw her?

Richard rushed to Halbert and pushed Amy aside. He called the doctor in a hurry. Amy was pushed by Richard and hit on the bedside table.

Doctors ran into the ward in a hurry and they looked shocked as they saw Halbert. Amy was covering her head, and there was blood running down her face.

What was going on in here? Halbert's situation suddenly changed.

Andy tried to check on Halbert, but Richard stopped her. The doctor tried to save Halbert, but it was too late.

"Sorry, we did our best. I'm sorry." said the doctor.

"No, no, Halbert, Halbert, you can't die, you can't. Didn't you say you would protect me for the rest of my life? Don't leave me!" Cathy cried hard as the doctor covered Halbert's face. She was overwhelmed by distress and held Halbert's hand to prevent the doctor from covering his face.

"Mom, please get up." Richard couldn't bear to look at Amy. He had to deal with his father's death.

Andy helped Amy to her feet. Amy was shocked by what she saw. If she had known that coming to see Halbert would kill him, she would never have come.

"How did that happen? How did this happen?" Amy shook her head and she didn't know why.

"Please leave here, Miss Newell. You are not welcome here. Andy, please take Miss Newell away, quickly, I don't want to see her again!" Richard wanted to get rid of Amy. If she didn't leave soon, she couldn't leave when the Carters came.

"But that has nothing to do with me, Richard, Richard." Amy wanted to say something, but Andy knew what Richard meant and he pulled Amy away.

"Andy, I didn't kill his father. I didn't." Amy was panicked. She had a bearing on her father's death, and now even on her father-in-law's death. She didn't want Richard to misunderstand her.

"Let's go. You can talk about it some other time." Seeing that Amy did not want to leave, Andy picked her up and left the hospital despite her objection.

Soon the Carter family showed up, Jacob, Sophia, and Addy, all coming into the hospital room with darkened faces.

Everyone was here except William who had escaped and Hilary who was playing outside, and Grandma Eva who was lying in bed.

"What's the matter? Didn't you say he just fainted? Why did Halbert pass away so suddenly?" Halbert's second younger brother couldn't believe his brother was gone.

"Yeah, I thought Halbert was fine. Why would that happen?" Both Sophia and Addy questioned Cathy.

Cathy was crying her eyes out and she couldn't speak. Her husband was dead. Who could be sadder than she was? But these people were questioning, which made her feel more wronged.

"Doctors said a blood vessel in his brain burst, causing blood to fill the brain, so he passed away," Richard spoke calmly to the group.

"His blood vessels burst? Did he get provoked again? But father hasn't waken up. How could his blood vessel burst?" Sophia knew that Richard was trying to cover for Amy.

"When I came out to get some water, I seemed to see Miss Newell. She came out of your dad's ward." Addy stood up and said.

"What? That woman? What is she trying to do? Does she want to destroy the HD Group? Richard, why did you marry a woman like that?" When Jacob heard that, he suddenly got angry and scolded Amy severely.

"Should we prosecute her? There are surveillance cameras in the hospital. We can see if she went out of dad's room. If she did, we'll prosecute her.' Everyone approved of Jacob's idea.

"Mom, did Amy come here? Weren't you here?" Jacob and Sophia were both forcing Cathy to talk.

"Yes, Amy came." Cathy nodded, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with that. Amy was the daughter-in-law of the Carter family. It was quite normal for her to visit her father-in-law.

Richard tried to stop Cathy, but it was too late.

"That's her. I also heard that she is responsible for some of the recent troubles of the HD Group. The woman is very heartless. She's the daughter-in-law of the Carter family. How could she do that? What a vicious woman!" Jacob was like a public speaker, but everything agreed him.

"Richard, are you still going to let go of her? She put the HD Group in jeopardy and killed our father. If you don't get revenge, we'll," said Jacob. Everyone agreed Jocab. In the past, Halbert would protect them, but now he had passed away, and no one would protect them. So, Jacob had to give Richard a warning by punishing Amy.

"Be quiet, all of you. We'll avenge. Give Richard some time to think about it. The most important thing now is to deal with Halbert's death." At this time, Addy spoke for Richard.

"Richard, the Carter family rely on you now. You are the president of the HD Group and the backbone of the Carter family." Others looked at Richard expectantly.

"Let's take care of my father's death first, and then we'll talk about the rest when the things are done." Richard said wearily. His father's death dealt him a great blow, and his mind went blank now.

His father's death, his mother's sadness, the family's anger, and Amy's coldness, all made him feel at loss. What should he do?
