Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite) novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234

Half an hour later, in the VIP ward of Stonebridge Memorial Hospital.

Yuma was lytig on the hospital bed, her face pale, her eyes half-closed, looking particularly weak.

The doctor stepped forward to check the IV bag, then turned to Chuck, “If she hadn’t come in time, the baby would have been lost. Ms. Lockwood’s health is delicate, and the baby’s heartbeat is unstable. You must not let her get upset!”

Chuck threw a worried glance at Frederick, then wiped his forehead, “Understood.”

After the doctor left, Chuck saw Frederick sitting by Yuna’s bed and respectfully said to him, “Mr. Winston, I’ll go and get Ms. Yuna’s hospital paperwork sorted.”

Frederick nodded slightly, his hand gently adjusting the cover around her neck. It was then that Yuna opened her eyes.

*Freddie… Yuna weakly called his name.

Frederick’s emotions were mixed, “I’m here.”

“You’ll stay with me, won’t you?”

Frederick’s lips were tightly sealed, unsure of how to respond, he simply said, “Rest, don’t think too much.”

Yuna nodded slightly, her gaze fell on Zoe, as if to remind her.

Zoe cleared her throat, and with purpose, asked, “Mr Winston, what’s this about the statement online? Weren’t you about to divorce Marguerite? Why make it public now? Don’t you know how much this hurts Yuna…”

Frederick’s warning glance silenced Zoe immediately.

Yuna quickly grabbed Frederick’s hand, her voice full of plea, “Freddie, don’t be angry with my mom. She’s just trying to stand up for me. If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you.”

Of course, he didn’t want to talk about it. He didn’t have to report to the Lockwood family.

But Yuna was in the hospital because of him, he owed her an explanation.

“Marguerite is tied to the company’s interests. I did this to protect the company’s reputation”

Yuna bit her lip, looking at him with probing eyes, “What about the child in her belly? Is that also linked to the company? Why did you acknowledge her bastard as your own?”

Did he know something she didn’t?
