Chapter 355 On His Deathbed +5 Pearls
Upon hearing the matter, the Quirk siblings couldn't help but furrow their brows. The whole situation was quite distressing. However, they could only conclude that he was the cause of his own troubles, and no one else was to blame.
Upon arriving at the hospital, they saw an elderly couple giving Sarah a hard time. Nina had already heard about her father's mishap. Seeing her mother being scolded, she quickly rushed over. "Grandpa, Grandma!"
The two elders didn't brighten up even when they saw their granddaughter. They remained steeped in sorrow, yelling at Sarah.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't been so hesitant to speak to Quirk Group about the project on behalf of your husband, my son wouldn't have had to rush to the construction site to find a solution. You've brought this disaster upon us! Our family only has this one sole heir. If anything happens to him, I won't be able to live anymore. You'll have to pay with your life as well! Boohoo!" Vera lamented in utter despair.
Even though Terry remained silent, he glared at Sarah with resentment through reddened eyes.
Had it not been for Isabella's prior inner thoughts, one might have actually believed in Benett's innocence while listening to their conversation.
At least, back then, the Quirk family, especially David, thought that the elderly couple was just being unreasonable and looking for an outlet to vent.
Immediately, Carlos stepped forward to steady Sarah, who could no longer stand firm. Seeing his sister in such a state of grief, he felt a deep pang of heartache. He addressed the two elders without mincing his words. "I understand both of you are extremely worried about my brother-in-law's condition. However, my sister shares the same worry. No one wished for this accident to happen, but it's absolutely unjust to place the blame on her!"
The couple, furious and on the verge of lashing out, were interrupted by the thunderous sound of footsteps. As they turned around, they saw quite a number of people approaching.
"You two should sit down and wait for news. If you keep this up, the hospital might kick us out," Christopher said, raising an eyebrow.
"This hospital is backed by Quirk Group's investment," Jake stated. "Delaying Sarah like this isn't conducive to her assisting Bennett in handling matters."
"Oh dear, we still have a minor here. It'd be nice if the two of you could be a bit more mindful with your words." Eula didn't particularly care for the two elders and made no attempt to hide her displeasure.
Nothing more needed to be said. The support for Sarah was clearly visible, it left the couple feeling as though they wouldn't be able to win this argument no matter what. They soon quietened down, no longer daring to make a scene.
Without their interference, and with her family's support, Sarah managed to pull herself together rather quickly. She hurriedly went to find someone who could update her on the situation. Even though she knew she had to wait for the surgical results, she still yearned to know more. Soon, the operation was over. There were no miracles. The doctor emerged, shaking his head to indicate that he had done his best, but Benett was beyond saving. He advised the family members to go in and say
their goodhues as there wasn't much time left

The sudden news of someone nearing death left an unpleasant feeling in the hearts of Isabella and others even though they were not particularly fond of Benett They merely waited outside instead of entering the ward.
The twins, Jake and Eula, were instructed to go pick up Adam and Caitlin. After all, he was their son-in-law and it was only right for them to come bid their goodbyes. Before long, relatives from the Eaton family also arrived.
The hallway was bustling with people at that moment. Alexander asked Christopher and Rosalie to stay behind to monitor the situation while he stepped out for some fresh air with Isabella, naturally, Evian followed suit with Callahan. Callahan was still holding Nina's bag, his expression filled with deep sorrow.
In the garden behind the hospital, there were quite a few patients and their family members strolling around. Evian led Callahan to a bench and they sat down. Isabella, on the other hand, couldn't sit still. So, Alexander accompanied Isabella for a walk around the garden. Isabella was consumed with worry, unable to keep from wondering, "He's dying. When should I let Sarah know about the affair? If I tell her, would she... blame me? What if she'd rather hold onto her memories of a loyal husband instead? But if it were me, I certainly wouldn't want to be deceived! Oh, this is so frustrating. Maybe I should drop a hint to Alexander, let him do some investigating. He can share in my worry then. After all, we are married and she is his cousin too!" Naturally, Alexander would

let his wife worry. He was the first to speak up. "There's something I need to
Isabella was taken aback, looking up at Alexander, only to find that Alexander had suddenly furrowed his brows, his gaze directed toward a long bench not too far away.
Over by the bench, there were several people. A beautiful woman was holding her daughter, crying. Her three sons, eyes red and swollen, were huddled around her. A man paced back and forth nearby. "Sloane, shouldn't we go up? He's on his deathbed. If we don't go now, who knows what might happen!" he implored.
