Chapter 180
Bride Behind The Mask
Meanwhile, at Stonebridge Memorial Hospital.
The last IV drip of antibiotics was finished, and Chuck got some topical ointment from the doctor before he returned to the temporary ward to find Marguerite.
The doctor said youâll need to take antibiotics for the next few days, and donât forget to apply this ointment in the morning and at night.â
Chuck stuffed boxes of medicine into his pocket, then looked up at Marguerite, âCan you walk? Do you need a wheelchair?â
Marguerite carefully got out of bed and stood on the floor, âIâm okay, the blisters have been drained, it doesnât hurt as much now. Can you help me up?â
Chuck rushed forward to support Margueriteâs arm. Because of her relationship with Mr. Winston, Chuck didnât dare to get too close. He kept his distance, but was always polite Just as they reached the lobby, Frederick, carrying Yuna, rushed towards them. Behind him were Zoe and Ablett Lockwood, their face twisted with worry. Immediately after, several doctors rushed forward with a stretcher. Frederick placed Yuna on the stretcher and together with the others, they rushed her into the emergency room The sudden incident left Marguerite stunned.
Chuck quickly grabbed a running doctor to asked, âWhat happened to that lady?â
The doctor replied in a hurry, âShe tried to commit suicide by overdose!â
Suicide by overdose? Marguerite was shocked.
Yuna was so ruthless, even to herself, threatening her own life!
Turning around, Chuck helped Marguerite to sit down on a bench in the corridor, âMarguerite, Mr.
Winston probably needs help, please sit here for a while, Iâll go check out the situation, and Iâll take you home laterâ
Marguerite didnât want to delay him, âYou go ahead, donât worry about me.â
Chuck stuffed the medicine into Marguenteâs arms and hurriedly followed the others.
Marguente wanted to go home by herself, but as she was about to leave, she saw Frederick pacing anxiously outside the emergency room.
She had never seen that man so worried, his usually expressionless face was taut, and his anxiety was palpable.
Maybe that was the difference.
Marguerite had never seen him express such emotions towards her. She didnât need to think much to understand how deeply Fredenck loved Yuna. As for her own wound treatment, the reason he offered her his arm to bite was probably because their mantal status forced him to do so. Marguerite sighed and limped along the wall towards the exit. But as she reached the corridor, she bumped into a stiff chest.
Her nose hurt, and when she looked up, she saw Frederick standing in front of her, his face as cold as ice.
He was tall and very close to Marguerite, which gave her a sense of pressure.
âAre you satisfied now? Your manipulation of me worked. Yuna is in danger now. If anything happens to her, Iâll hold you responsible.â
Frederickâs harsh rebuke hit Marguerite hard She was confused and then felt wronged.
What does Yunaâs suicide have to do with her? Why was everything blamed on her?
But Marguerite didnât argue back. She had never done anything to hurt anyone, so she couldnât find a way to explain.
âI have nothing to sayâ Marguerite dropped her eyes and fell silent, waiting for the storm to come. But the atmosphere just froze, she didnât get any angry outburst from Frederick, nor did she hear a word from him.
When she looked up again, she saw that the door to the emergency room was open, and Yuna was being pushed out. And Frederick was bending over Yuna, anxiously touching her face.
Marguerite felt no emotional fluctuation, only the sense of melancholy She was left alone, forgotten.
The air here was too oppressive, Marguerite didnât want to stay any longer.
So she turned around, slowly moving toward the exit with the support of the wall.
But just then, a gentle force gripped her arm. Marguerite turned to look and was slightly startled.
