Chapter 357
Frank quickly caught Madam Shaw and said to the butler, “Flint, do we have an ambulance?”
“Yes, it’s already at the gate.”
Flint had already called the medical team when he saw Madam Shaw spitting blood. They were initially prepared for any emergencies concerning “Lily“.
Unexpectedly, it was now put to use.
Madam Shaw was taken to the ambulance, and I rode in Frank’s car to the hospital.
By the time we arrived, Madam Shaw had already been taken into the emergency room.
My emotions were complex. I wanted to cry but couldn’t. More than anything, I felt panic and fear.
The sound of hurried footsteps approached.
Members of the Shaw family had also arrived.
Bethany rushed over and forcefully shoved me aside, her face filled with hatred.
“Charlotte, what more do you want to do? You’re just a disaster!”
I steadied myself and looked at her coldly, “It’s my grandmother who’s in trouble. What I do is none of your business.”
Perhaps I had hesitated before, but at this moment, I had no time for doubts and only wanted to know the condition of my grandmother.
“Grandma?”
Bethany’s face lit up with a smile. “You’re so bold! There are problems with the identification done at the Smith family’s hospital. Just based on a foreign report, you think you can be part of the Shaw family?”
I frowned. “What are you trying to say?”
“Frank is biased towards you. Who knows if the samples sent overseas were really yours or someone else’s,” said Bethany.
“Bethany has a point.”
Madam Shaw, who was strongly opposed to my presence, was adamant about not acknowledging me.” Ms. Wilson, you’re an outsider. You’d better clarify your identity.”
It felt as though I was not her daughter but rather the child of her enemy.
I almost instinctively looked at Mr. Shaw and bit my lip “Mr. Shaw… Is this what you think as well?”
Shaw’s expression was heavy. Just as he was about to speak, Mrs. Shaw took his arm. “Darling, you should have thought it through too. When Lilly went missing, the situation was so complicated. How could she be found? Now, after discovering one fake, are we really bringing home another fake?”
For some unknown reason, Mr. Shaw’s eyes darkened. He then looked at me distantly. “Ms. Wilson, please understand. We need to be cautious!”

Frank suppressed the scrutiny in his eyes. As I was about to speak, he put his arm around my shoulder and said gently. “Let’s first see how Grandma is doing.”
These words seemed to be a definitive statement.
Mr. Shaw and Mrs. Shaw said no more, but Bethany was displeased. “Do you mean she will stay here? If it weren’t for her, Grandma might not have had an accident at all!”
“What was bound to happen would happen sooner or later.”
Frank responded nonchalantly, then looked at her with a hint of disdain, “Since you’re so sure she’s not Lily, why are you so eager to drive her away?”
Bethany flinched and retorted angrily, “Who’s in a hurry?”
