Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 711

Anastasia passed the instructions to the nurse behind her, and the nurse went outside. Not long later, Elliot came in. He half knelt by the bed and leaned in toward Harriet. “I’m here, Grandma.”

Harriet grabbed his hand and said, “Elliot, you have to take good care of Anastasia in the future. Never let her down.”

“I know. I love her more than I love myself. I’ll use my life to protect her,” Elliot swore.

Anastasia pursed her lips, her eyes filling with tears as his voice pierced through her heart and deeply moved her.

“I have no regrets. You’re the most capable and powerful person in our family, so you have to take care of Nigel and the others,” Harriet continued.

“I will, Grandma. You should rest.” Elliot reached out and gently caressed her gray hair.

However, Harriet didn’t want to rest at all. She didn’t have much time left in the first place, so she wanted to use her last moments to the best that she could and look at the people she was worried about the most.

“I wanted to see Jared, but with my current state, I don’t think I should. I don’t want to scare him.”

“Grandma, you won’t scare Jared. I’ll bring him over to see you!” Anastasia said in a choked voice.

Nevertheless, Harriet didn’t want to scare the young child and shook her head resolutely. “I really don’t want to scare him. Just tell him that I’m going to see his great-grandpa.”

Elliot respected her wishes, knowing that it wasn’t that she didn’t love her grandson, but she loved him too much. Anastasia nodded in understanding as well. Just then, Harriet’s breathing quickened, and Elliot hastily got up and called the doctor.

Elliot and Anastasia rushed in from outside as well. As they listened to the sound of Brenda weeping, Anastasia’s red eyes filled with tears. Harriet seemed to be thinner and weaker.

“You’re all here…” Harriet looked at the people around her, her eyes teary and reluctant, but she still closed her eyes without regret.

In the end, the hand that was holding her daughter’s hand suddenly dropped limply.

In an instant, the whole room was full of cries from Brenda, Anastasia, and Jodie. Though the men suppressed their emotions, they felt equally sad on the inside. The hospital director stood by the bed in silence with the executives of the hospital, sending the noble Harriet off on her final journey.

In the morning, when Nigel sent Jared to school, he couldn’t control himself in the end and teared up, his eyes red-rimmed. He said to the little fellow, “Jared, you must always remember what your great-grandma looks like, okay?”
