An hour later.

Royal Brompton Hospital.

Huo Yaowen hurriedly ran to the door of the hospital's emergency room, and saw Anna hugging Mrs. Michelle and crying, while there were several people standing on the side, one of which was a pair of men and women who were cousin Brandt and his wife Vanessa, who got married last year.

"Evan!"

Seeing Huo Yaowen, Anna got up and pounced on him.

Cousin Brandt knew Huo Yaowen, and the relationship between the two was okay, so he stepped forward and sighed and said, "Evan, Mr. Viscount West, I'm afraid it's not going to work, the doctor just came out and issued a critical illness notice." ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen sighed in his heart, hugged Anna's shoulders tightly, patted her back and comforted: "Okay, Anna, don't cry, Mr. West's Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine." ”

It took a while for Anna to stop her tears.

Mrs. Michelle's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she was going to cry a lot, "Evan, thank you for coming." ”

Huo Yaowen said with concern: "Mrs. Michelle, if you don't want to find a place to rest, I think you seem to have not slept for a long time." ”

Mrs. Michelle shook her head and said, "Thank you, but no, I'm fine." ”

"Bang", the door of the rescue room was opened, and a doctor wearing a mask walked out, attracting everyone's attention at once, he took off his mask, and said in a tired but sad tone: "I'm really sorry everyone, we did our best!"

When Mrs. Michelle, who had been holding on for a long time, heard the bad news, she immediately fainted with sadness, but fortunately, Huo Yaowen was on the side and caught her.

"Mother!" Anna hurried over.

Cousin Brandt shouted to the doctor, "Doctor, look at it." ”

In a hurry, Mrs. Michelle was sent to the next ward to rest.

"Evan..."Watching her mother enter the ward and her father pass away, Anna grabbed Huo Yaowen's palm tightly, at a loss.

Huo Yaowen hugged her and was relieved, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

But no matter how relieved she was, Anna still cried silently.

Huo Yaowen sighed, holding her hands harder and harder.

Old West was suffering from tuberculosis, and it was clearly known that it was advanced after being diagnosed at that time, and Anna was still in Hong Kong and had not returned to England, so he and Mrs. Michelle worked with the doctor to hide the truth from Anna. As a result, Anna only thought that her father was in the early stage of tuberculosis and had a very good chance of being cured.

In this way, Anna took good care of old West, and after more than half a year, when he saw that he was dying, old West decided to go home, back to the castle of the West family who grew up, and die there!

A week later, Viscount West's funeral was held outside the castle, and according to the previous will, he would be buried in the family cemetery after his death, and all his property, including the family property, would be transferred to Anna, including the hereditary title of viscount. At the same time, the funeral is simple, and there is no need to do it like those nobles in the past.

Originally, Huo Yaowen wanted to give Old West a funeral worthy of his title, but the will said so, so he had to follow Anna's simple order.

It didn't take long.

At the funeral, relatives and friends of the West family were present, and some knights who had a good relationship with the old West also came from thousands of miles away.

In a church near Westcastle, a priest is doing a memorial service.

The audience was silent, silent, and sad.

Although Anna did not cry, her eyes were always red. Huo Yaowen was a little distressed, but it was not good to persuade him on such an occasion.

When the memorial service was over, everyone went to the cemetery of the West family in turn.

It was another traditional British funeral custom, and when it was over, the relatives and friends who had come came to say goodbye to Lady Michelle and Anna.

At this time, an old man dressed very well walked up to the mother and daughter, sighed and said, "Mrs. Michelle, Anna, please mourn and change!"

"Mr. Percy, thank you for coming to my husband's funeral. "Mrs. Michelle and Anna bent down to return the salute.

Leopold Percy said, "West and I are old friends, and I'm sure I'm going to come here myself." By the way, Mrs. Michelle, the application form for the House of Lords has come down before the old West's death, and in a few days you will let Anna inherit the title, and the King will personally bestow the title. ”

Inheritors of hereditary titles are usually bestowed by the King of England himself, which is a tradition, and it can be regarded as popular.

Mrs. Michelle nodded: "I know, I will arrange for Anna to come over as soon as possible." ”

Wait for Mrs. Michelle to send everyone away.

Anna sat alone on the grass, looking at the stone tablet not far away, and finally couldn't hold back her tears.

Huo Yaowen walked over, sat down cross-legged, hugged her in his arms and comforted: "Anna, the deceased is gone, the living are still alive, if Mr. West is alive, I must not bear to cry like this." ”

"I know, but I'm just sad..."

Seeing Anna's red eyes and the flowing water sliding down the sides of her cheeks, Huo Yaowen was a little unbearable, but after thinking about it, he said: "If you are sad, cry, it may be better to cry." ”

"Woo ......"

————

After the funeral of Old West, a few days later, Anna went to the House of Lords with Mrs. Michelle to determine the date and time of inheriting the viscount, and half a month later, Anna persuaded Huo Yaowen to go back to Hong Kong first, after all, the Spring Festival was about to be celebrated there.

Originally, Huo Yaowen wanted to wait for Anna to be with him, but it would take more than half a month to inherit the title, and there would be a series of troubles after that, plus Mrs. Michelle had just lost her husband, Anna would definitely want to accompany her for a while, so she decided to buy a ticket to go back to Hong Kong alone the next day.

never thought that a sudden invitation disrupted Huo Yaowen's plan.

“. R. Tolkien!"

Looking at the invitation sent by the author of the famous "Lord of the Rings" in his hand, Huo Yaowen was a little hesitant, he had already bought a ticket for tomorrow, and now the other party invited him to his house for a gathering, it was always difficult to refute the other party's face.

Anna, who was helping Huo Yaowen pack his luggage, couldn't help but be curious when she saw him sitting motionless, walked up and snuggled on his shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong, dear?"

"Mr. Tolkien has invited me to his house to-morrow. Huo Yaowen spread out the invitation card in his hand and showed it to Anna.

"Tolkien, the author of the Lord of the Rings!" Anna couldn't help but be stunned, she had been busy with her father's funeral for a while, and had hardly read the newspaper, so she naturally didn't know the article that Tolkien himself wrote in the Times.

"It's him!" Huo Yaowen had a headache, thought about it in his heart, and decided to go on a trip and change the ticket to the morning after tomorrow, so that he could rush back to Hong Kong for the New Year.

At the mention of Tolkien, Anna said sadly, "My father liked Tolkien's Lord of the Rings the most, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to visit him before!"

"Well, to-morrow I'll pay a visit to Mr. Tolkien in the place of Viscount West. Huo Yaowen touched the hair on Anna's forehead and comforted. Ever since the funeral was over, she had often seen an object and remembered her father's affairs.

Hong Kong at this time.

Li Xing and Zhang Ailing finally prepared the crew, the selection of the leading actor, thinking about it, tossing and turning, and finally selected three young people, each of whom is quite handsome in appearance and has a little bit of inner show.

"Pan Zhiwen, Liu Songren, Zheng Shaoqiu......"

Looking at these three names, Zhang Ailing had a headache, she really couldn't choose one of them, so she had to say: "Otherwise, Mr. Huo will come back tomorrow, and when he comes back, I will ask his opinion, and then we will determine which one it is!"

"It's okay, anyway, it's about to be the New Year, and it seems that filming won't start until after the New Year. Li Xing nodded, he also had the same headache, after so many years of filming, he had never been like this, and he had been choosing a role for almost a month.
