However, she also knew that she would have to hold up even if she could not do so. After all, whether her mother would be able to support herself in the future would depend on her.
At this moment, Helena suddenly received a phone call from her mother, who was in Northern Europe. As soon as the call was connected, her mother spoke from the other end of the line, "Helena, the royal family has just notified me that your grandma is currently suffering from multiple organ failures and is currently in a severe coma. She could pass away at any time..."
Helena was instantly shocked, "How did it deteriorate so quickly?!" 3
"I'm not sure." Helena's mother spoke up, "I only heard that the situation deteriorated drastically, and it is now completely out of control. The doctor said that it will be impossible for her to wake up, and it will only be a matter of time before she passes away. If it is fast, it will take up to two or three days, and even if it is slow, it will not exceed a week." 2
Helena could not help but feel sad and lost.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Although Helena sometimes felt a little dissatisfied with her grandmother's diplomatic methods, many times, she could still understand why that tough old lady had to make all those decisions.
This naturally included her abolishment of Helena's right of succession to the throne.
Although her grandma had been in power for so many years, she had always done her best to serve the royal family wholeheartedly. She single- mindedly hoped that the royal family would continue growing stronger.
Therefore, every decision that she made was not made in her own interest, but for the greater interest of the royal family.
Helena still admired her grandmother greatly in this regard.
Her grandmother was about to pass away now, but she was still thousands of miles away in Oskia. This inevitably made her feel very sad. 2
At this time, Helena's mother said again, "If your grandmother passes away over the next few days, I'm afraid that your engagement ceremony will have to be postponed. According to the royal rules, you will definitely have to come back to attend your grandmother's funeral first. After that, you will attend Olivia's coronation ceremony before you return to Oskia to hold the engagement ceremony with Felix." 2
"Understood." Helena spoke with understanding, "As a member of the royal family, the funeral of the queen and the coronation of the new queen are naturally the two most important things."
After saying that, Helena could not help but ask," Mom, can I come back and see my grandma one last time while she's still alive? The engagement ceremony will definitely be postponed, and there's no point for me to continue staying here, then. If I go back after Grandma passes away, I will not have this opportunity anymore."
Helena's mother sighed and said,
"We cannot make the decision in regards to this matter. You have to ask Olivia and see what she thinks about it. Although she has not been officially crowned, she has taken over many of the royal family's big and small affairs now. If you want to come back and see your grandmother for the last time, you should consult Olivia and ask for her opinion. If she agrees to it, there will naturally be no problem." 2
"Okay!" Helena hurriedly said, "I'll call Olivia right now."
After Helena had said goodbye to her mother, she immediately called Olivia, her cousin sister, who was also the next queen to be crowned. 1
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered the call on the other end. Just as Helena was about to hang up and call back later, the phone call was connected.
Immediately afterward, a woman's slightly smiling voice sounded from the other end of the line, "Helena, have you been doing well in Oskia recently, my dear elder sister?"
Helena hurriedly said, "Olivia, I heard that Grandma is critically ill?"
The other party chuckled and said, "That's right, Elder Sister. She's having multiple organ failures. The doctor has already told us to be mentally prepared to lose her at any time." 2
Helena felt that Olivia's light laughter was a little harsh, but at this point, she could not be bothered about this as she hurriedly asked, "Olivia, if Grandma's condition is so bad, she might not be able to wait until the day of my engagement ceremony before she passes away..." 3
"When the time comes, I will
definitely have to go back home to mourn and attend the funeral. My engagement ceremony will have to be postponed then. So, I would like to explain the situation to the Wade family first. I want to temporarily postpone the engagement ceremony first and go back and see Grandma for the last time. Is that okay?" 2 Content belongs to
There was a moment of silence over the other end of the line. After that, the other party was no longer smiling as she asked in a cold voice, "If I remember correctly, you're getting engaged on the seventh, right?" 2
"Yes." Helena blurted out, "Three more days! I'm worried that Grandma will not be able to last for three days and I will not be able to see her for one last time, then."
The other party sneered and said, "Helena, Grandma is in a deep coma now, and she will not wake up again. Even if you come back, she will not be able to recognize you. I think that you don't need to go through all that trouble! Regardless of whether she is dead or alive over the next three days, your engagement ceremony with the Wade family will be held as scheduled, and no changes will be allowed!" 7
