Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 161

After Frederick stepped out, Sadie hurriedly fetched a brand new set of pajamas for him to take in.

Once Laverne was done, Sadie helped her bathe in warm water, then moved her into a wheelchair and wheeled her out.

Frederick's face was icy, his silence chilling to the bone.

Sadie bent down, asking with concern, "Ma'am, you cried out in pain earlier. Where does it hurt? Is it severe?"

Laverne nodded tearfully, "It hurts! My back is in pain, my legs are numb, but it's a bit better now. I've troubled you all, please go rest."

Frederick stood still, repeating, "What exactly happened?"

Despite his stoic expression, Sadie could tell this was the calm before the storm for Mr. Winston.

"Freddie, I..."

"Quiet!" Yuna's words completely infuriated Frederick. He turned to Laverne, his fist clenched until his knuckles turned blue, "My lady, you tell me."

"I..." Laverne hesitated, glancing at Yuna. Her careful demeanor was as if she dared not speak.

Frederick shot Yuna a fierce glare, stepped forward, and knelt on one knee beside Laverne, "You can tell me without worry. No one in this mansion will dare to threaten you."

Seeing Yuna trembling, Laverne managed a magnanimous smile.

"Don't blame Yuna, it's my fault. I needed to use the bathroom, but Yuna was asleep. I called her for a long time, but she didn't wake up. I couldn't hold it in and... I wet myself. Before I could clean up, I woke this child up, and asked her to take me to the bathroom. She might... have been reluctant, so I tried to crawl there myself. I fell when I tried to get off the bed."

Laverne's tone was submissive as wetting oneself was not a matter of pride.

Frederick's anger erupted, he stood up abruptly, glaring at Yuna.

Yuna thought Frederick was going to hit her and out of fear, she collapsed to the floor.

"Freddie... Granny just said it wasn't that I didn't want to take her to the bathroom, it's just that I was asleep when she wet herself, I... I didn't have time..."

"Oh?" Frederick's eyebrows twitched, his tight lips revealing bared teeth, looking as ferocious as a hunting wolf.

"And after you woke up? You just watched her crawl to the bathroom? Yuna, this is your grandmother! Your own grandmother!"

Laverne had been causing her trouble all day, she had been holding in her resentment. Now, she couldn't hold it in any longer, and complained angrily.

"Freddie, you don't know, Granny is really troublesome. She treats me like a maid! And she's all covered in urine, so smelly and dirty! When have I ever been treated like this?"

Yuna's petulant tone only made Frederick more displeased, and Sadie shook her head, unable to hold back her words.
