Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 651

Meanwhile, at a suburban hospital.

Penelope walked into the VIP ward carrying a pot of bird's nest soup, ready to take care of Yuna Lockwood.

After their argument last night, Penelope was furious. But then again, what mother would ever see her daughter as an enemy? No matter the quarrels, Penelope's heart still ached for her.

Yuna's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly opened the door, asking tentatively, "Mom?"

At that moment, Penelope in the kitchen heard the noise, thinking Yuna was calling her. Just as she was about to step out, she heard Yuna's shocked voice:
