Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite)
Chapter 234

Chapter 234

Half an hour later, in the VIP ward of Stonebridge Memorial Hospital.

Yuma was lytig on the hospital bed, her face pale, her eyes half-closed, looking particularly weak.

The doctor stepped forward to check the IV bag, then turned to Chuck, "If she hadn't come in time, the baby would have been lost. Ms. Lockwood's health is delicate, and the baby's heartbeat is unstable. You must not let her get upset!"

Chuck threw a worried glance at Frederick, then wiped his forehead, "Understood."

After the doctor left, Chuck saw Frederick sitting by Yuna's bed and respectfully said to him, "Mr. Winston, I'll go and get Ms. Yuna's hospital paperwork sorted."

Frederick nodded slightly, his hand gently adjusting the cover around her neck. It was then that Yuna opened her eyes.

*Freddie... Yuna weakly called his name.

Frederick's emotions were mixed, "I'm here."

"You'll stay with me, won't you?"

Frederick's lips were tightly sealed, unsure of how to respond, he simply said, "Rest, don't think too much."

Yuna nodded slightly, her gaze fell on Zoe, as if to remind her.

Zoe cleared her throat, and with purpose, asked, "Mr Winston, what's this about the statement online? Weren't you about to divorce Marguerite? Why make it public now? Don't you know how much this hurts Yuna..."

Frederick's warning glance silenced Zoe immediately.

Yuna quickly grabbed Frederick's hand, her voice full of plea, "Freddie, don't be angry with my mom. She's just trying to stand up for me. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you."

Of course, he didn't want to talk about it. He didn't have to report to the Lockwood family.

But Yuna was in the hospital because of him, he owed her an explanation.

"Marguerite is tied to the company's interests. I did this to protect the company's reputation"

Yuna bit her lip, looking at him with probing eyes, "What about the child in her belly? Is that also linked to the company? Why did you acknowledge her bastard as your own?" Did he know something she didn't?

As Yuna continued to question, Frederick grew more annoyed.

"This has nothing to do with you. It's not something you need to worry about."

What kind of answer was that?

But judging from his reaction, it didn't seem like what she had thought.

Yuna breathed a sigh of relief, her tearful eyes ready to spill, "Freddie, how can I not worry? If you acknowledge her bastard, then what about me? You're the father of my child..."

"I've said it before, I will marry you, and I will. You don't need to keep dwelling on this. Take care of yourself, don't think about things you shouldn't. don't ask about things you shouldn't." Seeing that Frederick was about to lose his temper, Zoe immediately reached under the covers and pinched Yuna, who reluctantly shut her mouth The night was getting deeper.

The Ablett couple had returned to Diamond Crest Estates, while Frederick stayed in the hospital.

Seeing Yuna's eyes drooping, he quietly left the room and stood at the end of the corridor, a cigarette glowing faintly in his fingers.

Because of the child, he had no choice but to bring Yuna home, but he was not willing.

The fact that he didn't love her was a secondary reason. The key was, this woman was nothing like the girl from his memories fifteen years ago.

Back then, the girl cherished the locket necklace so much, she made him remember the shape of the locket so he could replace her.

But for Yuna, it was just a piece of jewelry

Frederick suddenly thought of the first time they met, he put the necklace he found at Regal Haven Hotel on Yuna's neck, but she looked at it with unfamiliarity.

Frederick hesitated.

it the truth was as the Lockwood family claimed, that Yuna had been wearing the locket necklace since she was three, then where did het unfamiliarity come from? Fredenck tell that something was off the more he thought about it.
