Chapter 370 Knowing Him, Trusting Him
In an instant, Chelsea dropped the bouquet in her hand and ran over frantically.
However, she was in too much of a hurry, and the train of her wedding dress was too long, so she stepped on it and fell.
At this moment, Henry caught her and his considerate voice sounded in her ear, "Don't rush, I'll help you."
The next moment, he reached out and tore off the entire train of Chelsea's wedding dress.
Without the train, Chelsea felt much lighter.
She dashed over to Rolf.
Soon, the ambulance arrived.
She accompanied Rolf into the ambulance.
The ambulance gradually drove away.
Jessica buried her head in Gabriel's chest in sorrow. Everyone knew what this fainting spell meant.
Sometimes, the speed at which life slipped away just caught everyone off guard.
Just now, she stood there, watching Rolf and Chelsea, as if she saw herself and her grandfather in the past.
So helpless, panicked, and scared.
At this moment, she suddenly understood why Chelsea was willing to give up everything to fulfill her grandfather's wish.
"Gabriel, is there no hope for Mr. Haugen?" Jessica asked painfully.
"It has already spread, he's just holding on to life," Gabriel said. "The doctor's initial prediction was about two months, Mr. Haugen has held on for almost three months now. I know he has unfinished wishes, so he has held on until today."
"Today, Chelsea got married, he saw her in her wedding dress, and he finally felt at ease, with no more worries, so he couldn't hold on any longer."
Listening to this, Jessica felt infinite emotion in her heart.
If it weren't for his granddaughter, Rolf might have passed away long ago.
Family ties could sometimes be chillingly indifferent.
Sometimes, however, they could be so great.
She thought of Carter and the father she had never met.
Now, there were no clues at all.
She didn't know if she would ever find her biological father in her lifetime.
‘Mom, if you are watching over me from heaven, please give me some guidance!’
Because of Rolf's sudden condition, the wedding banquet naturally ended early, and everyone showed understanding.
Jessica, with her big pregnant belly, had the Walton family's car waiting outside for a long time.
There were many guests at the wedding banquet, and it was a bit crowded when leaving, so Jessica and Gabriel waited for a while until there were fewer guests before they left.
Then, Jessica got into the car first.
However, she noticed that Gabriel was still standing outside the car, not getting in.
"Gabriel."
"Jessica."
This time, they almost called each other's names simultaneously.
"You go first," Gabriel said.
"Chelsea is our sister now. You should be by her side in such a difficult time. Go ahead, the babies and I will be waiting for you at home."
"If you come back late at night, it's okay, I'll leave a light on for you in the bedroom."
After Jessica finished speaking, she found Gabriel staring at her intently.
Suddenly, Gabriel rushed into the car.
Before Jessica could react, he had already cupped her face in his hands and pressed his lips firmly against her forehead.
It was a strong kiss.
Moreover, Jessica noticed that his heart was beating particularly fast.
Indeed, Gabriel was very emotional, and his eyes were warm.
"Jessica, do you know? You moved me."
"Thank you for your trust, and thank you for your understanding. With a wife like you, what more could I ask for?"
Just now, the reason he didn't get in the car was that he was hesitating about how to speak to her.
He was afraid of her reaction.
So, he hesitated.
Unexpectedly, Jessica had already spoken first.
And her words were all beyond his expectations.
"Chelsea grew up with you, over ten years of friendship. Now, she has fulfilled us, and Mr. Haugen has saved the Walton Group from crisis. We owe them too much."
"Now Mr. Haugen is critically ill. If I were still jealous, I wouldn't be heartless."
"Besides, she let you be the best man at her wedding as her brother. What else should I worry about?"
"Go quickly, seeing you at this time will surely comfort her a lot."
"Jessica, thank you. No matter how late, I will come back."
After Gabriel finished speaking, he got into another car.
That day, Jessica didn't even feel like taking a nap.
It wasn't until after seven in the evening that she received a call from Gabriel, saying that Rolf had woken up and seemed to be in good condition.
Jessica breathed a sigh of relief and ate a little.
She was so tired that she took a shower and went to bed.
She didn't remember how long she had slept, but in a daze, she felt like someone was calling her.
"Jessica. Jessica, wake up."
Gabriel was indeed calling Jessica.
Seeing her sleeping soundly, he didn't dare to call her loudly.
After several calls, Jessica finally heard and slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing Gabriel, she immediately rubbed her sleepy eyes and reached out to hug his neck. "You're back? Have you eaten?"
"Jessica," Gabriel called her name again, but his voice was very low. "Mr. Haugen might be about to pass away."
Hearing this, Jessica immediately sat up. "How could this be? Didn't you say he was in good condition earlier tonight?"
"He was, but it only lasted a few hours. Just as we were about to leave the hospital, we received the critical condition notice."
"Then what about Chelsea?" Jessica was most worried about her now.
"She's with Henry. I came back to tell you that Mr. Haugen wants to see you. I wanted to hear your thoughts."
As soon as Gabriel finished speaking, Jessica nodded without thinking. "Okay, let's go now."
At the hospital, Jessica couldn't help but feel down.
It was almost the same ward, the same white, the same atmosphere.
It made her think of her grandfather as soon as she walked in.
Instantly, her eyes welled up.
Seeing her, Rolf struggled to sit up.
Chelsea, with red eyes from crying, persuaded him, "Grandpa, don't get up. Jessica has already agreed to see you, she won't leave easily."
"No, help me up," Mr. Haugen said with difficulty.
Finally sitting up, he looked around at everyone and said, "You all go out, I want to say a few words to Jessica alone."
"Grandpa, can't I stay with you?" Chelsea didn't want to leave.
This was the last moment, every minute counted, so she didn't want to give it up.
But Rolf insisted, "Chelsea, be good and do as I say."
Seeing him so emotional, Chelsea had to obey and leave.
Soon, there left only Rolf and Jessica in the ward.
