Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 I can kick farther than you

"Blanche, why did you come to the hospital to see me? What could happen to me? You are newly married, so you should be spending more time with your husband to cultivate your relationship instead of worrying about me."

Seated by the hospital bed, Blanche playfully held her grandmother's hand and acted like a child.

"Grandma, I miss you, and I wish I could be with you every day. But with the family business being so big and Louis having to manage everything, he doesn't have much time to stay at home and be silly with me."

Only in front of her grandmother was she always a child.

Blanche only told her grandmother that she was going to marry the young master of the Herbart family, but didn't mention the rumor that Louis was disabled.

Angela withdrew her hand and tapped Blanche's forehead.

"You know, in the future, try to avoid coming to this hospital. The Herbart family is a wealthy family, and if they find out that you have someone like me dragging you down, they might form a negative opinion of you. To be honest with Grandma, have the Herbart family treated you unfairly? I can see that you've lost weight."

Blanche pinched her own face and looked incredulous.

"Lost weight? Where? I eat the best food every day, four meals a day. I'm tired of it. Grandma, you're mistaken. My face under the mask is actually much fatter."

Blanche cursed Louis in her heart. That scumbag had left her starving and devastated just a couple of days prior.

Angela couldn't help but worry. This child really thought she was old. Blanche was clearly thinner.

It seemed that her life in the Herbart family wasn't easy. Blanche would have been much better if she didn't have this scar on her face. Such a sweet child, now marred by such a disfigurement - it was inevitable that the prestigious family would take notice.

At the door, Louis was puzzled. The elderly woman living inside was Blanche's grandmother.

It was strange - this woman had always seemed so malicious before, but now, in front of her grandmother, she was suddenly so well-behaved and gracious.

"What are you looking at, Grandma?" Blanche turned her head, and the door was empty.

...

In the hallway, Louis met Kelley, who had just returned from a business trip. Kelley warmly greeted Louis.

"Mr. Herbart, are you feeling unwell, or is there a family member who requires medical attention? Please tell me - I am eager to provide my expertise."

Louis smiled faintly. "What illness does the old lady in room 327 have?"

Kelley was taken aback and rubbed his eyes in surprise. "Does Mr. Herbart know the elderly woman in room 327? Mr. Herbart, please accompany me to my office so we can discuss this further."

After leaving the office, Louis left the hospital and saw Blanche by the lake. Blanche leaned against the railing, looking up at a willow tree.

Louis sneered. He seemed to be cursed. He could run into this woman wherever he went.

Eric stopped the car, got out, and ran over.

"Blanche, why did you arrange to meet outside the hospital? Are you sick?"
