Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 246

Marguerite rubbed her head, blinking several times before the world came back into focus.

It was then she realized the man holding her was none other than Frederick!

A shiver ran down Marguerite's spine. Why was Frederick hugging her, of all people? She dreaded the thought that this scene might only infuriate Yuna further.

She tried to squirm out of his arms, but Frederick pulled her back, "Let's get you some first aid."

Upon hearing this, Yuna burst into tears, "Freddie! Marguerite is trying to kill me! She wants me dead!"

Frederick's grip on Marguerite tightened slightly, "She's hurt."

Yuna stomped her foot in frustration, "I'm hurt too! I'm hurt worse than she is! Look, just look!"

Yuna rolled up her sleeve, but even after a thorough search, she could find no injuries on her arm.

Marguerite had to admit, Yuna was tough. Despite their recent brawl, not a scratch could be found on her.

But where was her injury?

Marguerite furrowed her brows as a dull pain throbbed at the back of her head, invading her brain. She reached back to touch it, wincing at the sizable lump.

Frederick guided Marguerite towards the exit, with Yuna's voice trailing behind them, "Freddie, where are you going?"

Frederick turned to one of the nurses, "Take good care of her, I'll be right back."

"Yes, Mr. Winston!"

Frederick led Marguerite to a treatment room to tend to her injury. With no cuts to treat, they could only apply an ice pack to soothe the swelling.

Marguerite sat in the cold, sterile room, letting Frederick press an ice pack to the lump.

"What happened?"

Caught off guard, Marguerite didn't know how to explain. She remained silent, her face somber.

One of the nurses who'd followed them thought Frederick was addressing her. Without a second thought, she answered, "Mr. Winston, Ms. Yuna and Ms. Lockwood got into an argument, and then they started fighting."

Marguerite shot her a look, her tone sharp, "You saw everything from outside, and you didn't think to step in?"
