Chapter 260

Chapter 260

Marguerite remembered the words Jimmy had spoken, and when he had left, she looked around the room and noticed the basket of fruit Frederick had brought filled with mangoes.

Without a second thought, she tossed all the mangoes into the trash bin. Just to be sure, she hid the bin inside the bathroom

After all this, she fetched a basin of warm water to wash Laverne's feet, reminding her repeatedly as she did.

"Granny, Jimmy just said, you can't eat anything right now, okay?"

Laverne patted Marguente's head affectionately. "I understand, dear You've been raised so well, whoever brought you up must have loved you very much!

Marguente was taken aback, looking at Laverne with unwavering eyes.

Yes, her grandma had always loved her

Even when she had lost her memory, she treated Marguente as her own.

Tears threatened to spill from Marguente's eyes at the thought, and she quickly looked away. "Yes, she loves me. She always has."

"Believe in me, dear. Everything will be alright after tomorrow."

Your grandma has never forgotten about you, she has always loved you

Wait for tomorrow, and when it comes, Granny will tell you everything

Sadly, Laverne never spoke these words out loud

The night got darker.

Marguerite laid on the narrow wire bed, her heart fluttering with uncertainty

Despite the anxiety, she felt an overwhelming wave of fatigue washing over her as soon as she got into bed. She soon succumbed to sleep.

As did Laverne, lying on the hospital bed, and the bodyguard at the door, sprawled out on the floor

No one noticed a shadowy figure sneaking into the room.

The next moming

Marguerite was awakened by the alarm clock.

She woke up feeling groggy, and when she checked the time, the realized she only had ten minutes left to take Granny for her check-up She quickly got out of bed, calling out to Laverne, "Granny, it's time for your check-up Wake up.”

Marguente rushed into the bathroom to freshen up, noticing that Granny wasn't stirring

She popped her head out of the bathroom, toothbrush in mouth, and saw Granny wide awake, staring at the ceiling as if daydreaming She mumbled a reminder, "Granny. I've squeezed the loothpaste for you. It's time to get up."

Marguente retracted her head, spat out the foam, and froze

What did she just see next to Granny's pillow?

Peeled and yellow...

A mangol

Marguerite dropped her toothbrush in fear, and instinctively rushed to Laverne's bedside.

The pillow was covered in fruit peels, and a gnawed mango pit.

Granny had eaten a mango last night!

Marguente reached out to shake Laverne's body, her voice trembling uncontrollably. "Granny Granny, what's wrong? Speak to me! Can you see me? Granny The only response was Laverne's vacant eyes

Marguerite's fingers trembled as she checked for Laverne's breath, her fingertips accidentally grazed her lips, stiff and cold

Marguente's legs gave out, and the collapsed on the floor

Just then, Jimmy, dressed in a white coat, burst into the room, "Marquente, bring the old lady out. Marguente? Marguente

He too noticed the mango on the bed and immediately shouted at the nurse, Patient is suffering from sudden asphyxial Rush her to the OR! Get the defibrilator -ready!" Awam of doctors and nurses rushed into the room, wheeling Lavdme towards the operating room

Marguerite sat on the floor in shock, her heart feeling hollow, her mind a complete blank.

She had experienced this feeling once before.

The last time, Granny had also suffered from sudden asphyxia, but thanks to the doctors, she had survived

So this time, this time Granny would survive too, right?

foztoly she reached for her phone, her hands shaking so badly it took her a while to replace Rederick's number

The call was answered quickly, but suddenly, Marguente felt as if the world was spinning, her head throbbing her throat glued together, unabl

You finally called me waited until four in the morning before falling asleep. The man's voice was groggy, yet inagnetic

Magie eniffed, team chreaming down her face
