Sebastian leaned back in his chair, covering his face with one hand. Even though he had known nothing about all of this at the time, he could still feel how painful and helpless the young girl must have been. Making that final choice must have taken every single ounce of her strength.
Recalling the sensation of dampness he had felt in his hazy state and the image of the young girl weeping bitterly, he realized that must have been the moment she steeled her resolve to say a final farewell.
Seeing her son in such agony, Uriel let out a long, deep sigh and quietly stepped out of the room, gently closing the study door behind her.
After all, some wounds had to be healed slowly on one's own. Others would always remain mere onlookers, unable to truly feel the depth of his pain. Right now, her only hope was that the young girl was somehow still alive.
Yet even she found this hope somewhat unrealistic. How could there be any chance of survival when practically all the blood had been drawn from her body? Still, at the very least, it was a sliver of hope. Otherwise, Sebastian would likely spend the rest of his life entirely alone.
Over the next few days, the rumors regarding the critical condition of Empire Group's chairperson grew increasingly volatile. Almost every newspaper and magazine was filled with speculation, and some news outlets even claimed that Sebastian might have already passed away. After all, the forty-eight-hour mark had long since passed, yet Empire Group had not released a single official statement.
Consequently, Empire Group's stock price experienced severe turbulence. Some investors even began selling off their shares. The stock was only valuable because of that man's existence, and if he were truly gone, Empire Group would likely tumble from its pedestal very quickly.
Reporters camped outside the Empire Group building day and night, yet none of them managed to capture even a glimpse of the man.
The internet was flooded with countless posts about Sebastian's critical condition, each description more sensational than the last, as if the posters had witnessed the events with their own eyes.
"Did Sebastian really pass away? Is the source reliable? His fiancée has such incredible medical skills, how could she fail to save him?"
