Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 169

,Coolest Girl in Town

At that moment, Elise felt as if her world was spinning out of control and her face instantly blanched.
“What did you say?” She staggered as the four words escaped her lips, but Jamie continued, “Three
vehicles collided and it was a total mess at the scene. I heard that Alexander has been rushed to the
hospital.” Elise could feel her hands trembling. “Which hospital? I’ll go there right away.” Jamie told her
the hospital’s address and Elise immediately rushed out of the building.



When Cameron, who still had no clue about the incident, noticed Elise’s pale face, he asked, “Miss
Sinclair, what’s wrong?” Elie grabbed his arm and she struggled to squeeze out even a few words.
“Angelove Hospital. Take me there now. Something’s happened to Alexander.” As Cameron was
completely clueless about the incident, he was left struck by her words. At that moment, he received a
call that instantly caused the color to be drained from his face. After he hung up the call, he uttered in a
hoarse voice, “Miss Sinclair, I’ll take you to the hospital right now.”

Cameron and Elise rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, Elise bumped into Alexander, who was
sitting in the hallway with his clothes stained crimson and his face covered with bruises. At that
moment, he seemed disheveled and dejected. “Alexander, are you alright?” Elise stepped forward and
asked. At the same time, Cameron questioned, “President Griffith, how are you?” Alexander raised his
eyes and met Elise’s. At that instant, he had a sense of despondency in his eyes, an emotion she
found unprecedented on him, which reminded her of something. “Where’s Grandpa?

How is he?” Alexander then opened his mouth and muttered in a dry, hoarse voice, “He is undergoing
emergency treatment inside.” It was merely a few simple words, yet saying them used up all his
strength. Upon hearing that, Elise felt that her heart skipped a beat. She raised her eyes and looked at
the illuminated sign hanging above the emergency treatment room while inwardly praying for Jonah.



“Don’t worry, President Griffith. Mr. Griffith will be fine,” Cameron murmured, although he himself knew
how futile it sounded. Alexander looked up at the ceiling while his mind kept replaying the moments
when the accident happened earlier, and the scene when Jonah protected him.

At that thought, he felt his eyes redden and tears coursed down his face from the corner of his eyes.
He tried to wipe it away with his hands. “Grandpa will be fine. I’m sure that he will be fine.” Even
Alexander was unsure whether he was comforting Elise or himself, but he could at least find some
peace in those words. Just then, the lights above the door to the emergency treatment room were
switched off and the doctors exited the room. Alexander and Elise quickly went up to them. “Doctor,
how’s my grandfather?” Alexander asked as he gripped on the doctor’s arm.

The doctor removed his mask and sighed. “We’ve tried our best, but the patient’s injury is too serious.
He is going to take his last breath, so you may enter the room to bid him farewell.” Upon hearing that,
Elise felt her legs go weak while Alexander rushed into the room. “Grandpa!” Jonah, who had lost his
usual vigor, seemed to be breathing his last few breaths. Upon seeing Alexander, he reached out a
trembling hand. “Child, don’t be sad. I’ll be fine…” Alexander immediately grabbed his hand. “Grandpa,
I’m sorry! It was all my fault!” “Silly child, why are you apologizing?



The company is now in your hands. You have to run it properly. I’ll leave the responsibility of leading
the Griffith Family to success in your capable hands.” Alexander looked at Jonah with reddened eyes,
but he tried his very best to keep his tears in check. “I understand, Grandpa. Rest assured, I’ll make
sure that the Griffith Group thrives.” His words made Jonah feel much relieved. “I have something I
wish to say, and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to say it anymore if I don’t do so now,” Jonah uttered,
coughing vigorously as he spoke. Upon hearing that, Alexander immediately responded, “Grandpa, you
can tell me anything.



I’ll definitely fulfill your wish.” Jonah nodded, feeling comforted by his words. “Child, I know that you are
good. This is also a decision that I made after much consideration.” “Tell me; I’ll always bear it in mind.”
Instead of replying to him, Jonah looked at the door and asked, “Is Ellie here?” Alexander nodded.
“Yes, she’s just outside. I’ll ask her to come in now.” He then rose up to go find Elise. “Come in quickly.
Grandpa wants to talk to you.”



And so, Elise entered the room. The moment she lay her eyes on Jonah, she couldn’t hold back her
tears any longer. “Grandpa…” She never thought that something like this would happen to Jonah, who
had been as healthy as a horse when they had had a conversation this morning.

“Ellie, don’t be upset. I’m fine…” Upon hearing that, Elise ran up to him and kneeled down. “Grandpa!”
“Good girl, I know that the both of you are good children. I know that I won’t be able to pull through this,
but I have a wish that I need the two of you to help me fulfill.” Puzzled by his words, Elise exchanged
glances with Alexander, and the two of them reached a mutual understanding. “What is it, Grandpa?
Just tell us.”

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Jonah’s lips as he gently placed both Elise and Alexander’s
hands together. “I hope that the two of you can be together and run the Griffith Family. Ellie, I’ll leave
both Alex and the Griffith Family to you.” “Grandpa!” Elise sobbed, but Jonah smiled and mumbled in a
trembling voice, “Alex is a fine young man. I’ll be relieved if the two of you are together.” Then, he
turned to Alexander and said, “Alex, you have to treat her well and never let her down.

I… wish the best for the two of you… even after I’m gone.” As Jonah said that, he was obviously at the
verge of drawing his final breath. Tears drenched Elise’s face. “Grandpa, don’t leave us… Please,
Grandpa!” Alexander’s vision blurred too, but he still looked at Jonah and declared firmly, “I promise
you, Grandpa.



I’ll promise you this!” After Jonah heard Alexander’s reply, he no longer had any regrets. His eyes
slowly closed and his large hands lost its strength and fell. “Grandpa!” “Grandpa…” Cries of grief
echoed in the emergency treatment room. At that moment, Jack and Danny, who had finally arrived at
the scene, looked at the door to the emergency treatment room in disbelief.

The former then asked Cameron in a hoarse voice, “What exactly happened?” Cameron replied as he
wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes. “Mr. Griffith has left us…” Those few simple words
made Jack stagger. He instantly rushed into the room and the next moment, he got on his knees with a
loud thud. “Grandpa!” Danny came in after him and the scene made him sink into an abyss. “I’m sorry,
Grandpa.

We came here too late.” …… Jonah’s passing was so sudden that it caught everyone off guard. The
news of his death spread all over Athesea, and everyone knew that the head of the Griffith Family had
passed away due to an accident. The moment Matthew received the news, he couldn’t accept the fact
and muttered to himself like a deranged man, “Why did it turn out this way? Why? Why was it Grandpa
who died but not Alexander? Why?”
