Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite) novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248

Laverne’s reaction was so intense that even Sadie had rushed over.

She rummaged through Marguerite’s hair, her surprise leaving her flustered, “Miss, that’s quite a knock! Hold on, I’ll fetch you an ice pack!”

“No need, Sadie, you can rest.”

Marguerite was hurt, how could she rest? Ignoring Marguerite’s protests, she went to find an ice pack.

Marguerite sighed and withdrew her gaze, only to see Laverne’s piercing eyes fixated on her.

“Grandma, I…

“It was Yuna again, wasn’t it?”

Marguerite’s words were stuck in her throat, she hadn’t expected her grandma to guess so quickly. Ail she could do was nad silently in response. “Dammit! What is Yuna up to?!” Laverne slapped her thigh in fury, her eyes welling up with tears, “Does it hurt a lot? Let grandma have a look!”

Seeing her grandmother’s tears, Marguerite’s heart clenched with emotion. She felt like she was back in the days before her grandmother lost the memory, when every time she was sick or injured, her grandmother would be just as worried as she was now.

Finally, her emotions, that had been held back for so long, burst forth.

Regardless of whether Laverne remembered her or not, she let her tears fall, her hand clenched into a fist pounding her chest, “Grandma, my heart hurts, it hurts so much…”

Laverne, with her frail, shaking hands, gently cupped Marguerite’s face, her thumb wiping away her tears, her voice filled with urgency and concern, “Calm down, Marguerite, calm down. Tell me what happened. What’s going on?”

Marguerite was sobbing so hard that she could barely speak.

“‘Yuna, she’s… she’s pregnant… She’s carrying Frederick’s child… I feel so suffocated, grandma, please don’t tell Frederick…”

The shocking news brought Laverne’s tears to a halt, “What did you say? Yuna’s pregnant?”

Marguerite nodded, tears streaming down her face, her nose sniffing continuously.
