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. âIâm not feeling well, Mom. Iâll be right back after using the restroom.â
Scarlet had been by Fannyâs 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 Christopherâs 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. âWhat brings you here, Mom?â
Scarletâs expression soured as she forced a smile. âI came to see you.â
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, âIâm doing well and will be discharged soon.â
Scarlet was preoccupied with her thoughts and struggled to keep up with the conversation, wondering why Fanny hadnât arrived yet.
After some contemplation, Scarlet decided to speak up. âChristopher, I have something to ask of you.â
Christopher appeared surprised. âWhat is it, Mom?â
1/4 Scarlet began to tear up as she recounted how Angela had caused Samuelâs arrest and how Jonathan was siding with Angela.
She even implored Christopher to intervene.
Christopher remained polite but firm. âIâm aware of the situation, but you know how Jonathan is, donât you? Once he decides on something, no one can sway him. Not me, not my father, and not even my grandfather.â
Scarlet refused to believe him and pretended to kneel. âCome 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.â
Christopher sighed and stood his ground. âMom, 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 wonât turn you away.â
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. âIâm feeling slightly dizzy now. Why donât I ask Dad for help after I wake up? Iâm not feeling the best right now.â
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 didnât 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, âYour have great timing, donât you?â
Fanny quickly linked arms with Scarlet and apologized, saying, âWhat are you talking about, Mom? I had the worst time in the toilet, and I still donât know how I upset my stomach. Whereâs Christopher? Letâs go in and talk to him now.â
2/4 WEEPERS Chapter 210 Going to Angela âIâve already spoken to him, but he said he couldnât do it,â Scarlet said unhappily. âAlso, he told me to reach out to Angela. Can you believe it?â
Fanny answered gently. âDonât be angry, Mom. Christopher has been in a bad mood since the accident. Donât worry, though. Iâll spend the next few days coaxing him, and when heâs in a better mood, Iâll speak to him about it.â
She appeared to be making a great effort.
Seeing Fanny like this, Scarletâs anger subsided a bit. At the thought of Christopherâs indifferent attitude, she said. âOkay, then.
Why donât you accompany me to find Angela now? Isnât she also in this hospital?â
Fanny was surprised. âAre you really going? Will she... agree?*
âNo matter what, we have to give it a try,â Scarlet said confidently, Christopher was rightâno matter how Angela was, Scarlet had given birth to her.
If the young woman didnât agree, Scarlet would kneel and beg.
If Scarlet kneeled and Angela didnât want to tarnish her reputation by making her biological mother kneel down, she would have to comply.
As for Fanny, she knew she couldnât refuse this time.
Otherwise, all the years of pretending would have been for nothing.
They located Angelaâs hospital room and knocked on the door, only to be met by a tall, intimidating man.
They recognized him.
It was Oliver, the bodyguard Jonathan had assigned to Fanny.
Oliver looked at them and asked, âWhat do you want?â
Fanny said softly, âWeâve come to see Angela.â
Oliver snorted. âMr. Lawson has instructed that no one is allowed to approach Mrs. Lawson without his permission.â
The truth was, Jonathan hadnât given such an order.
However, Oliver was aware that Angela didnât like the individuals standing before him.
3/4 As such, he fabricated the order.
Scarlet was not willing to be dismissed by the bodyguard so easily and said, âTell Angela to come out and talk to us herselfâ
Oliver rolled his eyes.
Who does she think she is, daring to speak in such a commanding tone? Mr. and Mrs. Lawson always speak gently and politely, with a sense of decorum.
Oliver remained silent, his tall, powerful figure blocking the doorway, not budging an inch.
If they werenât women, he would have thrown them out long ago without all this fuss.
Scarlet, upon seeing the situation, couldnât help but shout, âAngela, come out! Angela, do you have any conscience? How can you bear to treat your Samuel like this? Back in the day-
There was a burst of noise, leaving Oliver at a loss for what to do.
He wanted to cover Scarletâs mouth directly, but due to the difference in gender, he couldnât oring himself to do it, so he just closed the door.
The single room was a suite.
Angela still heard the shouting outside and opened the door from the inside.
Oliver turned around just in time to see Angela standing at the door of the inner room in her ospital gown.
ler expression was icy as she stated, âLet them in.â
