"Hello, who's this?"
"Good day, is this a relative of Millie's? You've reached the Maternity Ward at Serenity Health Hospital. I'm afraid it's about Ms. Millie, she..."
The moment Beverley heard that introduction, she knew it was the hospital calling.
It must be Millie stirring up trouble again.
She cut in sharply, "What now? She throwing another tantrum? Look, you don't need to bother calling me. If she's looking to play the martyr, let her do it far away from me!"
With that, she hung up.
Typical! Every single time, it's the same old song and dance.
Beverley was well aware that Millie's whole game was based on her pregnancy.
So, she wouldn't dare actually risk anything happening to the baby.
Realizing this, Beverley felt foolish for all the times she'd let Millie get to her before.
Moreover, she had intentionally sent Sadie, Lara, and even the driver away to teach Millie a lesson. Let her experience what it's like to fend for herself for once!
With that thought, Beverley patted the face mask she had on, humming contentedly to herself.
Inside the nurse's station, two nurses exchanged a look, both equally speechless.
Finally, one sighed, "That's the thing with mistresses, they never end up well."
...
Millie had been lying in the hospital for two days.
During that time, due to uncontrollable bleeding, she was rushed into surgery again.
When she was wheeled out, she was as pale as a ghost. Though her eyes were open, she couldn't speak.
The bleeding had led to a severe infection.
She was in agony.
And the only person by her side was a care assistant.
She had tried to reach out to Murray and Beverley multiple times to no avail, even asking the nurses to contact them, but the outcome remained the same.
They had abandoned her!
Her physical discomfort, combined with her emotional distress, made her increasingly irritable and harsh.
The entire nursing staff was miserable but had no choice but to deal with her, given she was in a VIP room.
