Chapter 90
Bride Behind The Mask
Marguerite stared in disbelief at Laverne, trembling and almost unable to articulate her words.âGranny, what about me? Me!â
She was so impatient that her face turned bright red. Her wide eyes were filled with an urgent desire to know more, leaving Laverne looking bewildered.
âWhatâs wrong with you? Arenât you standing right here? I want to see my granddaughter. I want to see Yuna.â Laverne spoke with a childlike stubbornness.
What?
Did Granny forget about her?
Laverne glanced at Marguerite with disgust, not caring how shocked she was. She scanned the room and her gaze quickly landed on a corner of the room.
âYuna? Come, come quickly. I knew you wouldnât leave me while Iâm sick, why are you hiding over there. Hehe, my gazes are blurry, I didnât see you, donât be mad at me, come quickly.â
Seeing Yuna, Laverne immediately beamed, waving her hands at her incessantly.
Yuna looked lost. Zoe quickly nudged her, and she walked up, completely baffled.
Finally at the bedside, Laverne grabbed Yunaâs hand. Her surprised expression carried a sense of regained joy as she stared at Yuna without letting go.
âYuna, I finally see you. Iâve missed you so much.â
Yuna was awkward, âGranny⦠I missed you too.â
The whole scene felt surreal to Marguerite, who stood there like a statue, staring blankly at the two of them.
Chuck was also dumbfounded, looking at Frederick with confusion, âMr. Winston, whatâs happening?â
The manâs gaze slightly hardened, and he looked at Marguerite in a questioning and angry tone, âWhatâs going on?â
What was going on?
Marguerite could only give a bitter smile.
She wanted to know more than anyone what was happening. Why did Granny forget about her the moment she woke up?
Marguerite was so agitated that her chest heaved rapidly. She didnât have time to respond to Frederick and immediately rushed to Laverneâs bedside. She knelt on the ground. looking at Laverne with a pitiable and helpless expression.
âGranny. Donât you remember me? Iâm Marguerite, your own granddaughter. Iâm Marguerite.â
Laverne looked at Marguerite and then at Yuna. She quickly pulled her arm out of Yunaâs grasp, appearing puzzled by Margueriteâs sudden actions.
âWhoâs Marguerite? My granddaughter doesnât look like you. I only have one granddaughter, and thatâs Yuna. Yuna is my granddaughter. My most beloved granddaughter.â
Hearing this, Marguerite felt completely defeated.
She slumped to the floor, overwhelmed by confusion. Her expression was darker than a cloudy day.
What on earth was happening?
Chuck quickly helped Marguerite up from the floor, looked at Laverne, and asked gently, âHow many granddaughters do you have?â
âOne, her name is Yuna.â
Before Chuck could ask another question, Laverne started chattering away.
âMy son is Ablett, my daughterâinâlaw is Zoe, they have a daughter named Yuna. I lived with Yuna in Marina Shores Village when I was young, then they opened a casino in Stonebridge City.â
âWhat about Marguerite? Do you remember Marguerite? Do you remember Mr. Lockwood adopting a child?â
Laverne waved her hand dismissively, âHim adopting a child is his business, Iâve always lived with Yuna in Marina Shores Village.â
Another bolt from the blue struck Marguerite, she leaned weakly against the wall, completely drained.
Grandma remembered everyone, except for Marguerite.
At first, Marguerite thought it was because she was wearing a mask and Granny couldnât recognize her.
But it turned out that Granny had completely forgotten about her, even Margueriteâs name.
Chuck sighed, looking worried as he exchanged glances with Frederick.
He knew that Mr. Winston had always sided with Marguerite over Yunaâs words.
After all, lies can deceive, but subconscious actions canât.
Margueriteâs care for Laverne was mostly genuine and unconscious expressions.
So in order to help Marguerite, Chuck tried to guide Laverne to remember. After all, patients who had been in a coma for a long time often had shortâterm memory confusion when they woke up.
But now it was clear, Laverne was lucid and logical, not like someone who lost her memory at all.
In Laverneâs memory, there was no one named Marguerite.
Sigh! Marguerite, youâd better pray for yourself.
Chuck shook his head and stepped out, followed by Frederickâs suppressed and hurried voice.
âMarguerite, you really know how to lie. You better give me a reasonable
