However, tonight's severe shock triggered a sudden heart attack, and he requires immediate surgery." Fixing my gaze on him, I spoke in an icy tone, "Make sure that the Alpha of the Eclipse Pack survives!" Feeling the weight of my presence, Bert visibly tensed before nodding quickly. "Mr. Holbrook, I will do my best!" The medical team wheeled Grandpa into surgery while I remained motionless outside the operating room. Scenes replayed in my mind-the cold announcement from Rosaline, canceling the engagement, and the moment Grandpa collapsed from his heart attack.

I had anticipated this day for so long. It was meant to be the happiest moment of my life. Why did it turn into a nightmare instead? "Mr. Holbrook, Mr. Richard will pull through," Yale reassuredfrom behind.

"Grandpa..." I murmured, standing beside the bed, my heart aching as I looked at Grandpa lying unconscious.

Queenie approached and spoke gently, "Caden, try not to worry too much. Grandpa is strong. He will make it through this." Rosaline's POV: The following morning, the sky was overcast.

A white glass lamp entered my vision.

Where was I? Pressing my fingers against my temples, the events of the previous day gradually resurfaced.

He had been secretly involved with Tessa.

I broke off the engagement, and Mr. Richard collapsed from the shock.

Fragments of yesterday's events kept replaying in my head.

A deep ache spread through my chest.

Just as I was about to rise, the door creaked open, and Jasper stepped inside.

"Rosaline, are you awake?" he asked, approaching the bed with concern in his voice.

"It's you?" I glanced around. "Is this your house?" "Yes," he answered gently. "I made breakfast. What would you like to eat?" I shook my head. "I'm not hungry." His gaze softened with worry.

I wasn't ready to dwell on that heartbreak. I just needed to know if Mr. Richard was okay.
