The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 33

Grace's lips were pale; she gently moved them as her eyes sparkled, "Penelope... oh, no, Ms. Flanagan, what brings you to the hospital?"

Allison looked at her mother; she had been busy playing "Penelope" these past few days, finally finding the time to visit her mother today. But as soon as she arrived at the hospital, she was informed that her mother had gone for a check-up, and before she could see her, she was called by Leah Flanagan-Eaden to play Penelope.

After not seeing her for a few days, Grace seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Seeing this, Allison's eyes filled with tears, but hearing her mother call her "Penelope", she held them back.

"Uh, I'm here to see you."

No matter how hard Allison tried, she couldn't boss her mother around like Penelope; her tone became a bit cold, and she stopped looking at Grace.

Grace didn't notice anything; she was happy to see Penelope, her face bearing a smile, then her gaze fell on Lucian, "Ms. Flanagan, who is this?"

Allison's lips trembled slightly, her fingers gripping tightly, "This is my fiancé."

"Oh, right, I saw it in the news; it's Mr. Lindberg, isn't it? That's nice." Grace sincerely expressed her happiness.

Then she mumbled something under her breath, but because they were in a small elevator, it could be clearly heard, "If only Allison could have such happiness."

Hearing this, Allison could hardly control her tears. She gripped her palm tightly, hoping the pain would help her hold back.

Lucian’s gaze fell on Grace, but only for a second before he looked away.

When the elevator doors opened, Grace said goodbye to “Penelope”.

Allison’s face was always indifferent, and she didn't even dare to look at Grace's back. At this moment, she wanted to rush out, help Grace back to her room, and take good care of her.

The emotions she tried so hard to suppress were still noticed by Lucian.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

Allison tried to hide it; she forced a smile and said, "Nothing; she's Allison's mother; I look a lot like Allison, so... sometimes Allison's mom gets us mixed up."

Allison looked up, bumping into the man's probing gaze.
