Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite) novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249

Laverne opened her eyes and immediately FaceTimed Frederick, who picked up quite promptly. “My lady, what’s up?”

The man on the screen was groggy, clearly having just woken up.

Clearing her throat, Laverne tentatively asked, “Dear boy, where are you? When will you come back to the mansion to see me? The thunder was so loud last night and there were nic men around. Scared me half to death, I tell you!”

Frederick rubbed his eyes with his long fingers and sat up on the bed. “I’m at the hospital, Yuna’s not feeling well and has been admitted. I’ll be back on a few days.”

Admitted to the hospital?

What a bunch of malarkey!

Yuna had been eating like a queen since she was a little girl, practically overfed, and now she’s running to the hospital every other day. Who wouk believe that?

Not a word of truth in Yuna’s mouth, even the baby in her belly was in question, Laverne thought.

“Do you need something?”

Snapping back to reality, Laverne chuckled, “Oh yes, I need that chubby boy to help me with something. Can I borrow him for a few days?”

“Do you mean Chuck?”

“Yes, yes, yes, Chuck! That’s him!”

“Hold on, I’ll send him over right away.”

“Great! As soon as possible.”

Laverne hung up, her cheerful expression dropping immediately. What replaced it was a look of seriousness and determination.

She wouldn’t tell Frederick the truth so soon. After all, Yuna was her own granddaughter, bearing her bloodline.

No matter what, she had to give Yuna a chance.

Chuck was baffled but remembered that the old lady was indeed Mr. Winston’s benefactor. He couldn’t ignore her instructions

He got in the car and they rushed to Stonebridge Memorial Hospital

By that time, Frederick had just left, and the Ablett couple hadn’t yet arrived. The entire ward was occupied by Yuna alone.

Chuck pointed Laverne in the right direction and the old lady bustled towards where Yuna was

She stood at the door for a moment, then quickly strode back to Chuck

“Chubby boy, stand a bit farther away. I have something to say to Yuna. But don’t go too far. If I yell, you need to run back to me immediately got it?

Chuck was completely in the dark, a bad feeling welling up. “Maam, what are you planning? Please don’t do anything rash”
