Chapter 541 She Finally Passed Away
Just then, a sudden phone call disrupted her.
The voice from the other end of the line sounded. "Mr. Vittorio, something terrible has happened. Mrs. Viviana Vittorio fell on the back hill, and her condition is very serious. She's being rushed to the hospital now. The family doctor says she might not make it. Mr. Vittorio, you need to come quickly."
Giorgio's eyes darkened instantly. He stood up and strode out.
"Mr. Vittorio? What's wrong?" Lola, who had never seen him so anxious, quickly followed.
"Is it about Mrs. Viviana Vittorio? I'll go with you."
The two rushed to the hospital as fast as they could.
When they arrived, the door to the operating room had just opened, and the doctor came out with a serious expression. "Mr. Vittorio, I'm sorry, we did our best. Viviana is beyond saving now, barely holding on. You should say your final words to her."
Giorgio's stern face fell, as if shrouded in dark clouds.
He stepped into the operating room and walked to the bedside. "Grandma."
Viviana's eyes were already completely lifeless. She weakly held his hand, her lips moving with difficulty, uttering, "Never be with Anna. Marry Lola."
With that, the light in her eyes completely faded, and she passed away.
"Grandma!" Giorgio's pupils contracted. Even someone as noble and cold as him shed his tears at this moment.
For the first time, he saw a loved one die right in front of him.
Mixed emotions of grief, helplessness, pain churned inside Giorgio for a moment.
Others also rushed into the room, creating chaos.
Katherine stood by the operating table, her head bowed in sorrow, but in a hidden corner, her eyes were filled with sinister glee.
Half an hour earlier, Viviana had asked her to make soup. Because she didn't recognize the ingredients, Viviana questioned her, asking why she didn't remember from years ago.
She brushed it off, thinking Viviana believed her, but she didn't expect Viviana to want an investigation about what had happened back then!
She was already in this situation. If Viviana found out that the person who saved her back then wasn't her but Anna, everything would be ruined!
Viviana would definitely agree to Anna marrying Giorgio!
So, she secretly pretended to be Anna and went to Viviana, had an argument on the back hill, and pushed her down the steps! At the same time, stopping the investigation!
Now, Viviana was dead and had given Giorgio such instructions, killing two birds with one stone.
'Rest in peace,' Katherine sneered inwardly, then raised her 'tear-filled' eyes, crying pitifully.
Viviana's death was soon officially announced, causing a sensation.
After all, Viviana had accomplished quite a bit in her lifetime, earning admiration.
In her youth, she led domestic businesses to compete with foreign ones, saying, 'Our industries will never fall into foreign hands' and 'We will build our own enterprises.' These videos were widely shared online.
Many young people who didn't understand finally learned about the trade wars decades ago, where other countries tried to invade and swallow up many industries. It was Viviana who united hundreds of companies, found breakthroughs, and fought to the end, reviving the economy and preserving local businesses without foreign labels.
It was an event worthy of being recorded in history.
Netizens were moved to tears when they heard of Viviana's death.
[Mrs. Vittorio, rest in peace.]
[Thank you for your contributions, we will learn from you.]
[Though you are gone, you live on in the hearts of every entrepreneur.]
[May heaven be filled with joy.]
[Rest in peace.]
Anna couldn't help but tear up when she saw the news.
In her impression, Viviana was sharp and harsh, but she didn't expect her to have such great achievements.
It was probably because of her high accomplishments that she looked down on someone as ordinary as Anna.
After all, compared to her, Anna did seem like an incapable person, with no specific goals and no great achievements.
It was normal for her to admire Katherine and Lola.
No matter what, one shouldn't hold grudges against the dead.
Anna took a deep breath and posted: [Rest in peace.]
Then, she sent a message to Giorgio: [My condolences.]
Anna thought Giorgio would be too busy to reply.
Unexpectedly, he responded in less than a minute: [I'm handling Grandma's funeral. Take care of yourself and contact Tony if you need anything.]
At this moment, he still replied to her! He cared about her!
Anna was touched and quickly replied: [Don't worry, just focus on the funeral. I'll be fine.]
[Okay.]
The conversation ended.
Anna looked at the dark night sky outside and sighed deeply, "Sara, life seems long, but it's actually very short. Close your eyes, and it's all over."
Sara walked up. "Yes, so we who are alive must live happily and cherish every day, not missing out on worthy people."
Anna nodded. "We also need to contribute our own value."
Anna said, "Let's make good videos, and when we make money, we'll build nursing homes, donate to children's schools, and do many meaningful things."
"Yes, being upright and kind is the only way to live a worthy life and stand beside excellent people!"
They talked for a long time.
Anna remembered the dinner she had prepared. Giorgio wouldn't be able to eat it. To avoid waste and prevent any danger from the warming pot, she went back to the apartment, packed the food, and turned off all the power.
She silently took care of his home.
Viviana's funeral was set for three days later.
During these three days, Giorgio wore a black suit, staying in the mourning hall at all times.
Tom and Enrico stayed by his side, handling other matters for Giorgio.
The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.
Only Katherine, who cried pitifully during the day, returned to her private apartment at night to celebrate happily.
As for Anna, she continued to make videos, shoot content, and research with Lucia and Sara on how to promote traditional crafts.
In the evening, an unexpected text from Simon arrived.
[Anna, I'm in Crownhaven. Can we meet?]
Meeting so late?
Anna hesitated. After all, Simon was already divorced. Would it be inappropriate to meet so late?
If Giorgio misunderstood at this time, it would be bad.
Then Simon sent a message again: [Bring Penny along. I haven't seen her in a while. I have a flight back to Vista Heights tomorrow morning.]
Looking at the text, Anna couldn't refuse.
After thinking for a moment, she replied: [Okay, send me the address. I'll come over.]
After receiving the location, Anna didn't hesitate, got dressed, and left.
Because it was raining and late, she didn't bring Penny.
In her heart, Simon was a trustworthy person.
However, what Anna didn't expect was that the situation was completely beyond her imagination.
Tonight's Simon was different from any other time!
He was leaning on the hotel sofa, eyes closed, face showing suppressed pain, wearing only a white shirt, exposing his bare chest.
The atmosphere was quite weird."Simon? What's wrong with you?" Anna asked.
