The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 826

Not long ago, Hawthorne had been her lapdog. Now that he was fawning over someone else, she was instantly displeased.

"How soon can I be discharged?"

If it weren't for Gwyneth, Patti Yale would have left this place long ago. The young nurse looked surprised. "You could have been discharged days ago, Ms. Yale."

She had heard that this Ms. Yale’s admission was arranged by a very powerful man, so the hospital staff wouldn't dare rush her out unless she requested it herself.

"What about Mrs. Everhart? When can she be discharged?"

The young nurse replied with a professional smile. "You are both in our VIP wing. Your discharge dates are entirely up to you. Mrs. Everhart could have left already as well, but judging by Mr. Everhart's instructions, it seems he wants her to stay for about another week."

Another week? Patti Yale couldn't wait that long. Now that the baby was gone, she felt a sense of relief and lightness. She regretted not getting rid of it sooner. In hindsight, she could have had the abortion and then simply lied about still being pregnant, avoiding the disastrous mess she’d made for herself.

Patti couldn't wait a week, especially since she could be discharged in just three days. Every day in the hospital cost a fortune, and she was in a VIP suite. Although she had the five million from Hawthorne, she felt it wasn't nearly enough. Renting a house outside would be cheaper than a single day here; she could just get a smaller villa.

On the day of her discharge, Patti Yale sent a message to Gwyneth.

"Mrs. Everhart, if you don't mind, I'd like to meet. There's something I need to tell you."

At that moment, Patti had no idea that Gwyneth already knew about her and Hawthorne's scheme. She was still clinging to a sliver of hope, driven by the bitter thought that if she couldn't have Hawthorne, no other woman could either.

Meanwhile, Gwyneth had received an unexpected visitor at the hospital.

Victoria Turner had arrived.

The moment her mother pushed open the door, Gwyneth was so stunned she thought she was dreaming.

"Mom? What are you doing here?"

Gwyneth never imagined her mother would come all the way to Greenvale. Seeing her daughter lying in a hospital bed, Victoria's heart clenched with pain.

A nervous chuckle escaped Victoria's lips. She had a bad feeling her cover was about to be blown. Gwyneth repeated her words slowly.

"How much is ‘a little’?"

Gwyneth's eyes were sharp with suspicion. Victoria forced a smile. "Just a tiny bit more than a little. Oh, let's not talk about this."

But Gwyneth wasn't letting her off the hook. "When did you find out we were arguing? Or did you know all along?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Victoria confessed. "I noticed something was off between you two back in Starfall City, but it’s your relationship, and as your mother, I didn't want to interfere."

Gwyneth realized what that implied. Victoria must have had someone watching them.

"Trust me, Mom had no ill intentions. I wasn't deliberately having you spied on. For so many years, your mental state has been my biggest worry. I just want you to be healthy and happy, and I couldn't bear the thought of you getting hurt."
