Mary hid all of these details, too afraid to tell Arianne. All she said was that the old woman was having a bad cold and nothing was wrong. She waited until Arianne went back to her room before calling Mark, “Sir, something’s happened to Mrs. Wynn. Zoey Harris and her husband have pushed her into acute pneumonia; continuous bouts of fever have damaged her brain. She’s old. Even if she can be saved, there will be side effects. I can’t bear to tell Mrs. Tremont… What should we do?”
Mark frustratingly rubbed the space between his brow in the office. “I knew something would happen… I understand, I’ll handle it. You’ve done the right thing. Don’t let Ari find out.”
After ending the call, he told his secretary, Davy, to cancel all of his meetings for the afternoon and rushed to the hospital.
The old woman was in the Intensive Care Unit. Zoey and her husband were standing watch outside, seemingly sad and desolate. Everyone was well aware of whether it was faked or not.
“Mark, Ari isn’t here?” Zoey hurriedly asked, seeing that Mark was the only one who had arrived.
“Mm, she is inconvenienced. I’ll handle everything,” he calmly replied.
“She’s her granddaughter. Her grandmother is very, very sick. She’s only pregnant, isn’t she? Is she really that delicate? She won’t even come to the hospital!” Zoey’s husband snapped irritably.
