The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 164

Allison just walked in, just in time to hear Ashley’s words. She asked instinctively, “What weird stuff is going on?”

Payton answered, “Her sis works in a mental hospital; dealing with all sorts of patients is part of her job; isn’t that stuff interesting?”

“Yeah, it’d be worrying if nothing strange was happening.”

Ashley took a sip of water, then mysteriously said, “Here’s the kicker, it’s a mental hospital, but recently a non-mental patient moved in. They even booked the entire top floor, with four or five beefcakes guarding the entrance; only specific doctors can go in; it’s really mysterious.”

Hearing this, Allison’s water glass suddenly stopped mid-air.

What a coincidence, huh?

She tried to stay calm and asked. “Ashley, where does your sister work?”

“At Mercy Grove Hospital, a small private mental hospital. I tried to convince her to change jobs, but she said the workload there is light and the benefits are not too shabby.”

Allison understood.

Ashley’s sister actually worked at Mercy Grove Hospital.

And the mysterious patient on the sixth floor was her mother, Grace.

She walked over and sat at the round table, discussing the matter with everyone, “Is it really that mysterious? Has your sister seen this person?”

“My sister is just a regular nurse; the sixth floor is locked, and she can’t see the person. But my sister heard from the cleaning staff that it’s a female patient. It’s all very mysterious.”

Everyone started discussing other matters, and Allison sat quietly listening, wondering how she could rescue her mother. Her mother’s health was deteriorating; any rash action could be dangerous, and she didn’t know how things were going with Adrian.

She listened as the girls shifted from talking about makeup to jewelry, then to the big families in Northfield and some family gossip, even mentioning Lucian’s name with occasional squeals.

She stood up and checked her watch, “I’ve gotta head out.”
