The Fragrance Queen's Final Note novel Chapter 122

"A rush to have a baby with that cheating bastard! So much of a rush that you got into a car crash!"

Queenie was completely lost. "Who's having a baby?"

Seeing her utter confusion, Stanley slowly began to calm down.

Remembering that Jocelyn was prone to exaggeration, her words probably weren't entirely reliable anyway.

His tone softened a bit. "Never mind. How do you feel?"

Queenie tested her limbs and felt okay, so she shakily sat up.

"I'm fine. I can leave now."

"Don't you want to lie down for a bit longer?"

"No."

Queenie wanted to hurry up and get the memory card back. She also needed to meet the person Jocelyn had mentioned. She had so much to do and absolutely no time to waste just lying around here.

Stanley didn't insist. He walked out of the hospital room with her.

As they walked side by side down the corridor, Queenie voiced the question burning in her mind. "Mr. Zimmer, were you the driver who hit me?"

Stanley's footsteps halted. He stared at her in disbelief. "Do you need another CT scan?"

"...No, I just can't figure out why you're here."

"Jocelyn told me!" Stanley snapped, storming off ahead of her.

So that was it...

Queenie realized what happened and took quick steps to catch up. She was just about to say something else when she suddenly saw someone walking toward them.

In a panic, spotting a stairwell nearby, she grabbed Stanley's arm and yanked him inside.

Stanley was stunned by her sudden action, staring at her with wide, bewildered eyes.

Shh—

Queenie put a finger to her lips. As the approaching footsteps grew louder, she pressed herself further into the corner.

Terrified of being seen by the person outside.

In the cramped space, the two of them were practically pressed against each other.

Queenie's heart was in her throat, all her attention focused outside, not overthinking their proximity.

But Stanley's muscles were noticeably tense. He rarely felt unnerved, but whenever this woman got close to him, he lost all his cool.

His fingers twitched against his palms, and he even held his breath.
