Chapter 178
Bride Behind The Mask
Merguate was lying in a makeshift infirmary, hooked up to a dop, and her head was swimming.
Chuck was by side, and upon seeing her shic fetched her a worm glass of water, Marguerite, do you feel any better?â
Marguerite propped herself up on the bed, accepting Chuckâs water and taking a few sips, Tm alnight, when can I leave?â
The doctor said this is the last drie, once itâs done, you can go Marguerite nodded, er eyes scanning the morn, Fredenck was nowhere to be seen That was for the best, the didnât want to see him.
She finished the water, offering Chuck a grateful look, âThank you Chuck, I appreciate this. You can leave if you have other matters to attend to, I can manage on my own Marguerite, the person you should be thanking is not me, itâs Mr. Winston.â
Chuck replied with a jovial laugh, thinking back to what had transpired, he felt sahsfied and relieved Morguente looked surprised, and Chuck continued, âMarguerite, Mr. Winston loves youâ
Marguerite was silent.
Everyone said Frederick loved her, Chuck, Sadie, even Robert But she couldnât feel it, all the could feel was his resentment.
âChuck, could you stop saying things like that? I donât know what I did to deserve everyoneâs support, and Iâm grateful, really. But you canât force feelings. He doesnât love me, and I donât love him. If you guys keep playing matchmaker, it just create misunderstandings.â
Like Frederick misunderstanding her earlier, thinking everyone was used by her She hadnât done anything to deserve that Chuck shook his head hastily. âMarguerite, Iâm not just saying this. When the doctor was cleaning your wounds, you were in so much pain you were delirious. To offer you some relief, Mr. Winston extended his arm for you to bit into. Do you know, your biting left a large teeth mark! But he bore it without a word. Marguente, would he do this if he didnât have feelings for you?â
Chuck look out his phone, revealing a photo to Marguente The image showed Fredenckâs sturdy arm His strong forearm was marked with a dense ning of teeth impressions, the indentations were deep, and the bloodstains were chilling Chuck had managed to take a secret photo earlier Marguerite was even more confused after seeing it.
Frederick hated her with a passion, why would he let her bite his arm just to make her more comfortable?
Marguenteâs finger clenched tightly, lifting her gaze to meet Chuckâs âIf he truly has feelings for me like you said, why hasnât he come home since returning to the manor?â
Chuck sighed, resting both his hands on his knees.
âMr. Winston has been staying alone at Seaside Manor these past few days. After all, the baby in your belly isnât his, Mr. Winston is upset about this, itâs not something he can get over casily But regardless of whether you acknowledge it or not, I can see that Mr. Winston cares about you. So Marguerite, make some time to visit him at Seaside Manor With that, Chuck scrawled down an address on a piece of paper, âThis is the address of Seaside Manor. Mr. Winstonâs routine hasnât changed. You can visit him anytimeâ
Marguenteâs eyes fell on the address, and she fell silent.
