Chapter 190 Just Not Natalie
"Daniel, this matter is of great importance. I'll consider today as you just bringing a classmate over. But some other day, I'll arrange a proper match with a suitable young lady for you."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Melissa for the time being, Daniel simply said, "I won't go, so don't waste your time. Besides, at my age, I'm not considering these things right now."
Melissa sensed Daniel's displeasure. She sighed and said earnestly, "Daniel, any other girl is fine, but not Natalie."
Natalie was a servant for the Cullen family.
With Alice now being Adrian's fiancée, if Daniel fell for Natalie, he would be seen as inferior in the future.
Why couldn't Daniel understand that?
"Daniel..."
But then, a sudden shout came from the living room—
"Mr. Howard, Mr. Howard, what's wrong!!"
Melissa's expression changed. She quickly left the balcony with Daniel, rushing into the living room.
They saw Ruben sitting on the sofa, eyes closed, breathing rapidly, lips turning purple, clearly in a state of shock. Melissa's face turned pale. "Dad!!"
"Dad, what's wrong!"
"Grandpa!"
Joe, Adrian, Rachel, and the others all rushed over.
Alice, sitting beside Mr. Howard, was terrified, her face pale. "I don't know what's wrong with Grandpa. It's not my fault. He suddenly just..."
Alice was almost in tears. "Adrian!"
She stood up and walked to Adrian's side.
Adrian had no time for her. He pushed her aside and rushed to Ruben’s side. "Call Gary Collins over! Quickly!"
Jeffery didn’t waste a second and immediately contacted Gary. However, Gary had gone home an hour ago due to a family matter and wouldn’t be able to come back for at least half an hour.
Rachel, looking at Ruben, burst into tears. "Grandpa, what's wrong? Don't scare me. What happened? You were fine just a moment ago."
She turned and glared at Alice. "You were the only one with Grandpa after dinner. What happened to him??"
Adrian's gaze also fell on Alice.
Alice shook her head in panic. "I don't know. I was just chatting with Grandpa, and suddenly, he became like this."
Melissa walked up to Alice. "Stay clam, don't panic."
She looked at Jeffery and asked urgently, "Did you call the emergency center? Did he take his medication tonight? Does anyone know first aid?"
"Yes, yes. We called immediately."
But the ambulance couldn’t possibly arrive that quickly.
Donte frowned. "Who knows CPR?"
Time was of the essence. Every second counted.
Jeffery gritted his teeth. "I'll do it!"
They couldn't wait any longer. Ruben couldn't wait.
At that instant, Ruben's eyes were closed, his breathing barely perceptible, lips purple, seemingly lifeless.
Rachel was petrified with fear.
Jeffery walked up to Ruben, bent down, and clasped his hands together, ready to perform CPR, when a gentle female voice sounded, "Don't move him."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Natalie walked over slowly. She asked Jeffery to step aside, then laid Ruben flat. Alice pointed at her and shouted, "What are you doing? Natalie, stop!!"
Natalie paused and, without looking at Alice, asked Jeffery, "Does Mr. Howard have any chronic illnesses? Does he need to take medication daily?"
