Chapter 249

Laverne opened her eyes and immediately FaceTimed Frederick, who picked up quite promptly. “My lady, what’s up?”

The man on the screen was groggy, clearly having just woken up.

Clearing her throat, Laverne tentatively asked, “Dear boy, where are you? When will you come back to the mansion to see me? The thunder was so loud last night and there were nic men around. Scared me half to death, I tell you!”

Frederick rubbed his eyes with his long fingers and sat up on the bed. “I’m at the hospital, Yuna’s not feeling well and has been admitted. I’ll be back on a few days.”

Admitted to the hospital?

What a bunch of malarkey!

Yuna had been eating like a queen since she was a little girl, practically overfed, and now she’s running to the hospital every other day. Who wouk believe that?

Not a word of truth in Yuna’s mouth, even the baby in her belly was in question, Laverne thought.

“Do you need something?”

Snapping back to reality, Laverne chuckled, “Oh yes, I need that chubby boy to help me with something. Can I borrow him for a few days?”

“Do you mean Chuck?”

“Yes, yes, yes, Chuck! That’s him!”

“Hold on, I’ll send him over right away.”

“Great! As soon as possible.”

Laverne hung up, her cheerful expression dropping immediately. What replaced it was a look of seriousness and determination.

She wouldn’t tell Frederick the truth so soon. After all, Yuna was her own granddaughter, bearing her bloodline.

No matter what, she had to give Yuna a chance.

Laverne would make Yuna confess! In front of Frederick and Marguerite, in front of everyone, admit her wrongdoings!

Chuck arrived at the mansion shortly. Just as he got out of the car he saw Laverne, dressed primly, standing at the front door and walking towards him. “Chubby boy, get in the car!” Laverne waved at him, Chuck was completely baffled. “Ma’am, where are we going?”

Wasn’t he supposed to be home?

Why was he called out as soon as he got back?

Laverne was already in the passenger seat, buckled up and leaning out the window to look at him.

“We’re going to see my granddaughter, Yuna! Get in the car, don’t waste time.”

Chuck was confused.

What’s going on?

He just left the hospital!

What was this old lady up to?

Chuck was baffled but remembered that the old lady was indeed Mr. Winston’s benefactor. He couldn’t ignore her instructions He got in the car and they rushed to Stonebridge Memorial Hospital By that time, Frederick had just left, and the Ablett couple hadn’t yet arrived. The entire ward was occupied by Yuna alone.

Chuck pointed Laverne in the right direction and the old lady bustled towards where Yuna was She stood at the door for a moment, then quickly strode back to Chuck “Chubby boy, stand a bit farther away. I have something to say to Yuna. But don’t go too far. If I yell, you need to run back to me immediately got it?

Chuck was completely in the dark, a bad feeling welling up. “Maam, what are you planning? Please don’t do anything rash”
