Chapter 210 Going to Angela
Scarlet was determined to try any method to save her son, even if it meant seeking help from unlikely sources.
She believed Fanny was too weak to speak up, so she enlisted her help in convincing. Christopher.
Together, they drove to the hospital.
The moment Fanny stepped out of the car, she held her stomach and excused herself. “I’m not feeling well, Mom. I’ll be right back after using the restroom.”
Scarlet had been by Fanny’s side since they left the Kins Residence, preventing her from getting in touch with Christopher. As such, Fanny made an excuse to ditch her.
Meanwhile, Scarlet headed straight to Christopher’s ward without much thought.
By the time she arrived, Christopher had just finished speaking with Fanny over the phone, and he had a rough gauge of the situation.
He greeted Scarlet warmly, feigning ignorance. “What brings you here, Mom?”
Scarlet’s expression soured as she forced a smile. “I came to see you.”
Christopher smirked to himself.
Like mother, like son.
Samuel once promised to visit but never showed up, much like Scarlet.
Despite being younger, Christopher believed in showing genuine concern for a patient.
However, he refrained from calling her out and engaged in small talk, saying, “I’m doing well and will be discharged soon.”
Scarlet was preoccupied with her thoughts and struggled to keep up with the conversation, wondering why Fanny hadn’t arrived yet.
After some contemplation, Scarlet decided to speak up. “Christopher, I have something to ask of you.”
Christopher appeared surprised. “What is it, Mom?”

Scarlet began to tear up as she recounted how Angela had caused Samuel’s arrest and how Jonathan was siding with Angela. She even implored Christopher to intervene.
Christopher remained polite but firm. “I’m aware of the situation, but you know how Jonathan is, don’t you? Once he decides on something, no one can sway him. Not me, not my father, and not even my grandfather.”
Scarlet refused to believe him and pretended to kneel. “Come on, Samuel made a mistake. If he truly wanted to harm Angela, why would he lead the police to her? Angela went overboard, and Samuel just wanted to teach her a lesson.”
Christopher sighed and stood his ground. “Mom, instead of seeking my help, why not talk to Angela? She is your daughter, after all. Blood is thicker than water. If you reach out to her, she won’t turn you away.”
He preferred not to be involved in the family drama.
Meanwhile, Scarlet seemed conflicted.
Should I speak to Angela? It had never crossed her mind. After finally ridding myself of that heartless girl, why should I beg her?
Christopher rubbed his temples. “I’m feeling slightly dizzy now. Why don’t I ask Dad for help after I wake up? I’m not feeling the best right now.”
Scarlet understood that Christopher was distancing himself from the situation.
After all, Jonathan held a certain status in the Sanders Family, illegitimate child or not.
Scarlet didn’t linger and left the ward.
She felt anxious and unwilling. Do I truly have to plead with that cunning girl?
At that moment, Fanny, who had feigned a stomach ache earlier, finally appeared.
Christopher had messaged her about what happened, so she was no longer afraid of being there.
When Scarlet saw Fanny reappear, her face remained impassive as she coldly remarked, “Your have great timing, don’t you?”
Fanny quickly linked arms with Scarlet and apologized, saying, “What are you talking about, Mom? I had the worst time in the toilet, and I still don’t know how I upset my stomach. Where’s Christopher? Let’s go in and talk to him now.”
Fanny said softly, “We’ve come to see Angela.”
