Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 259

Laverne swiped her card with a flourish, and then they quickly returned to the hospital.

Always restless in the hospital room, Laverne couldn't sit still. The thought of Yuna being her flesh and blood made her reluctant to watch the young girl stray further and further from the right path.

She thought for a moment, took out her phone, and secretly sent Yuna one last text message:

[At 1 pm tomorrow, if you do not tell Frederick the truth yourself, I will do it for you.]

She did not receive a reply from Yuna, but Frederick came instead.

Frederick rushed to the hospital as soon as he finished work, thinking that Laverne would have a check-up the next morning and must be fasting, so he brought a lot of food with him.

Laverne couldn't stop smiling as she sat cross-legged on the bed, gorging herself on the food. As soon as Frederick entered the room, he noticed Yuna in her new dress, his eyes constantly darting towards her.

Laverne, cunning as ever, had already noticed Frederick's reaction.

As she peeled an orange, she leaned over and whispered to Frederick, "Handsome, isn’t she looking good today?"

Frederick smiled shyly and looked at Marguerite, nodding slightly, "It suits her."

Laverne looked at Frederick, then shifted her attention back to Marguerite, unconsciously uttering a sigh of contentment. "If our little family could always be this happy, that would be nice."

Frederick furrowed his brows at her strange words. After all, she was Yuna's grandmother and even if she had kinship for Marguerite, she wouldn't say such things about a little family without Yuna.

Frederick corrected her in a joking manner, "Granny, if Yuna hears you say that, she might be upset."

The mention of Yuna made Laverne sigh.

She looked at Frederick reluctantly and patted his hand earnestly, "Handsome, our Yuna, she's too competitive and spoiled by her parents. Promise me, no matter what happens, you'll spare her some dignity. Okay?"

Once the truth came out tomorrow, Frederick would certainly be furious with Yuna.

Marguerite interrupted Laverne's words with discontent, "Granny, why are you talking like you're leaving us? You're acting weird today!"

Laverne was so upset that she threw the orange peel at Marguerite, "Nonsense! I plan to live to be a hundred! Stop your baseless chatter!"

Marguerite playfully stuck her tongue out at Laverne and turned around to get some water, no longer teasing her.

Frederick didn't stay for long, and the night had completely fallen.

After saying goodbye to Laverne, he got up to leave, and Marguerite walked him to the door.

The two stood at the doorway, neither of them making the first move to speak.

Frederick's gaze deepened, and for some reason, he found the woman in front of him more and more attractive, more and more likable.

He licked his lips and whispered, "Call me anytime if anything happens."
