Chapter 419 Rumors
Some said that Donald had died from an illness.
Some even said that Donald had fled Pollerton overnight.
There were all kinds of rumors going around.
Silas then viciously announced, “If I still don’t see Donald coming to me soon, I’ll be going after Raymond!”
However, yet another month went by, and it was as if Donald had disappeared from the surface of the earth, for he never reappeared in public.
It seemed like he was slowly being forgotten by the people.
The one who panicked the most was Jennifer, and she kept going around to ask for news about Donald.
She had met everyone who was associated with Donald, but her efforts were to no avail.
“Donald might really have died in the operating room.” Even though Jennifer did not want to believe in it, she had already accepted that as a fact.
“Donald is dead. He was already severely ill in the first place. He’s been missing for such a long time, so that means he must have died in the hospital,” Linda said in agitation.
“That’s right. So, what you have to do now is relax and date Tyrone before marrying into the Campbell clan,” Leonard said to her.
In the blink of an eye, eight months had passed since Donald fell into a coma.
Yet, there were still no signs of him waking.
His vitals on the monitors were at the lowest they had ever been.
Meanwhile, Lilith had lost weight, and her eyes were red almost all of the time.
Hannah walked over to check on Donald’s vitals. When she looked into Lilith’s eyes, she could see the sorrow in them. It was the same when Lilith looked into Hannah’s eyes.
“There’s no more hope,” Lilith whispered.
The state Donald was in was the state of brain death.
“Is there really no hope left?” Tears sprang to Hannah’s eyes.
Will there be no Lord Campbell in this world anymore?
Hannah found it difficult to accept that.
She still remembered how Donald had been standing outside the laboratory as the Golden Lord, looking invincible.
Right then, a middle-aged man walked over to look at the surveillance footage.
Donald could be seen quietly lying in the nutrition pod in the footage. It was as if he was dead.
That man was one of Chiliad Avion’s executive members.
“Is there no chance for him anymore?” the middle-aged man asked.
Lilith sighed. “Jadar Stone is a meteorite, and its source of energy is the same as Lord Campbell’s power. Therefore, it is Lord Campbell’s bane. The more powerful he becomes, the more intense the pressure he gets.”
At that, the man fell silent for a moment before sighing. “Why don’t we contact his family, then?”
The color drained out of Hannah’s and Lilith’s faces.
They both knew how devastated Wynter and Reina would be if they were to hear the news.
“I’ll do it,” Lilith grimly said.
Hannah then wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes before silently turning to leave.
At that moment, Lana was meeting a man at Rivebale Hotel.
That man came from Jadeborough.
He was exceptionally handsome and had a noble air around him. It was obvious he came from a wealthy family.
Indeed, that man, Kyler Winston, was from the Winston family—a family of five hundred years.
The Collins family was also a family of five centuries, but it was at its limit. If the Collinses did not do something about it, they would soon become an ordinary wealthy family.
Therefore, the Collins family was looking for an opportunity to rise again. For example, a good chance would be to have a marriage union with the Winston family.
The Winston family had control over one-third of the country’s oil fields and coal mines, so they were powerful.
The Collinses were ruminating about whether or not they should get a few oil fields and coal mines from the Winston family. Coincidentally, Kyler was interested in Lana, so the Collinses placed all of their hopes on Lana marrying Kyler.
A look of satisfaction emerged on Kyler’s face as he studied Lana.
She’s indeed the most beautiful woman in Jadeborough.
Lana said, “Mr. Winston, I’m absolutely delighted that you could come.”
Kyler asked, “How delighted are you?”
Lana could barely keep herself from rolling her eyes at that, thinking, I’m just trying to be polite.
Right as she was about to respond to him, her phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Lilith.
Lana grew excited. Could it be that there’s news about Donald?
