Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite) novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500 

Yuna’s knees buckled, and she found herself collapsing to the floor! 

Why on earth was Freddie here? How could he be? 

She had been so careful with her secrecy! She hadn’t told a soul! 

But today, Teresa showed up, and then Freddie came hot on her heels! 

Damn it! It had to have been that snake, Hayes, who spilled the beans! Or maybe it was Teresa! 

Panic clutched Yuna’s throat like a vice. This was it. She was done for. 

Hayes lay in the hospital bed, an inflated bag of blood hanging overhead, and with Teresa’s loose lips on top of it, Yuna felt like her own demise was imminent in that very room. 

“Freddie… Freddie, listen to me! It’s not… it’s not what you think!” 

Yuna’s mind raced for an explanation, but she was drawing a complete blank. 

Frederick’s bloodthirsty gaze cut through her like a blade. The next moment, his long legs stepped right over her crumpled form, moving toward Hayes’ bedside. 

The kid looked as pale as a ghost, barely hanging on to life. 

When Chuck, the late arrival, caught the scene, he was so shocked he couldn’t find his voice. 

He gasped for air, “Mr…. Mr. Winston, I-I’ll go call the doctor right away!” With that, Chuck bolted out the door! 

But Frederick couldn’t hold back his fury any longer. A chilling aura of wrath enveloped everyone present, “Yuna! You’ve got some nerve! Is Hayes’ life so cheap to you?” 

“Freddie… I…” Yuna’s teeth chattered in terror, “It… it was the hospital’s suggestion! They said taking blood from Hayes wouldn’t be a problem! But I still didn’t agree, because I was afraid Hayes couldn’t handle it! Then Hayes overheard that Manley got sick, and he insisted on donating his blood, I couldn’t stop him! Freddie, I didn’t want to take Hayes’ blood!” 

“Lying even at the brink of death?” 

Frederick glared at her fiercely, his disgust and hatred for Yuna reaching uncontrollable levels. 

In that moment, he wished he could kick her squarely in the face. 

But it was when he saw Teresa, he held back. The scene was too gruesome; he didn’t want Teresa to witness that. 

“Freddie, I’m not lying! I swear I’m not lying! Wait until Hayes wakes up, ask him! It was his choice!”The excuse was flimsy, and she wasn’t sure what -Hayes would tell Frederick. 

She was just buying time! Now, she had to figure out how to get out of this mess!
