Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 176

The Sunrise District was an hour away from Stonebridge Memorial Hospital. Upon embarking on their journey, both Marguerite and Frederick remained silent.

Marguerite gazed out the window, her expression serene as she took in the ever-changing scenery. Frederick, on the other hand, couldn't resist stealing a few glances at Marguerite.

As time ticked by, the wound on Marguerite's leg worsened. Blisters started to emerge, clustered together in a sight that brought a sense of dread. Marguerite gritted her teeth, refusing to reveal any signs of pain.

The more Marguerite remained calm and collected, the more frustrated Frederick became.

He found her nonchalance infuriating, as if she was immune to any misfortune that befell her.

Even her severe injury seemed to go unnoticed.

Was she truly so indifferent?

Her body numb, even her heart seemed to have gone numb.

Did she not feel any emotions towards him?

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Frederick pulled his gaze away from Marguerite and looked at the rear-view mirror. "Why are we moving so slow?" he asked coldly.

"Mr. Winston, there's a speed limit," the driver responded politely.

"Chuck, call the traffic police. We need a green light all the way."

"Yes, sir."

After giving his orders, Frederick's gaze fell back on Marguerite.

Yet, she remained as cold and aloof as ever.

Frederick turned away in annoyance, clenching his fists so tightly that the veins on his forehead bulged.

The woman had a heart of stone!

Damn it!

Thanks to the green light, what was supposed to be an hour's drive was shortened to half.

The luxurious Cullinan smoothly came to a halt at the entrance of Stonebridge Memorial Hospital. Frederick stepped out first, intending to assist Marguerite from the car, but she had already managed to get out on her own.

She limped a few steps, then noticed Frederick's gaze fixated on her wound. His eyes were filled with a mix of confusion and surprise.

Marguerite met his gaze without flinching.

"As you can see, I just used you. I'm not as fragile as you think, nor as fortunate as Yuna. It's just a burn, not so severe that I can't walk."
