From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent ( Anthea )
Chapter 338

Seeing her like this, Janet was startled, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Edna?"

Delia shook her head, "Miss Edna is fine..."

Hearing that Edna was okay, Janet breathed a sigh of relief, "Good, as long as Edna's alright."

Delia continued, "It's Darleen who's in trouble. Miss Edna said on the phone... Darleen, in her attempt to replace the young master, got accidentally hit by a car!"

"Hit by a car?"

Hearing this, Janet was visibly shocked and immediately stood up from her chair, "What happened exactly?"

Delia went on, "I'm not entirely sure about the details. Miss Edna mentioned that Darleen is still in emergency care. She was worried you'd be anxious and specifically asked me not to tell you! But I couldn't keep this from you; my conscience wouldn't allow it... after all, Darleen got into this situation because of something to do with the young master..."

Janet couldn't believe that Darleen was in trouble and asked, "Which hospital are they at now?"

"I think they're at Lifeline Medical Facility," Delia answered.

Janet hurriedly said, "Quick, contact the driver! I need to go to Lifeline Medical Facility immediately!"

Gerard was standing upstairs, overlooking everything happening below.

The plot Edna and her daughter had cooked up was not bad!

But no matter how they played their parts, he would never allow Edna to marry into the family. Never!

Janet quickly arrived at Lifeline Medical Facility.

Darleen was still in the ER.

Edna was sitting outside on a blue plastic chair, crying her eyes out, "Darleen, you can't be in trouble. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to go on?"

"Edna!"

Janet quickly approached her.

Seeing Janet, Edna looked incredulous, "Janet! How did you replace out? I... I didn't want you to know..."

Janet cut her off, reproaching, "You child! Such a serious matter, and you thought to keep it from me! Is Darleen okay?"

This kid, just too kind-hearted!

Janet sighed internally, her eyes full of compassion.

"I didn't want you to worry," Edna sobbed.

Just then, the door to the emergency room opened, and a doctor came out.

Edna immediately approached, "Doctor, how's my daughter?"

Janet chimed in, "Doctor, money is no object for our family! Please, do everything you can to save my granddaughter!"

The doctor pulled down his mask, smiling, "Fortunately, she was brought in on time, so the patient is no longer in danger."

Edna then asked, "My daughter is about to take her SATS; will this affect her exams?"

The doctor hesitated, then replied, "As long as she gets proper rest, it shouldn't affect her SATS."

"Doctor! Thank you!" Edna bowed deeply to the doctor, overwhelmed with gratitude.

Hearing that Darleen was okay, Janet also let out a sigh of relief.

The doctor continued, "The patient has been moved to a room now; you should go see her."

Edna and Janet went to the room.

Darleen had a head injury, with bandages wrapped around her head, looking very weak.

"My dear, are you alright?" Janet approached, holding Darleen's hand.

Darleen tried to show strength and shook her head, "Janet, I'm sorry! Not only did I fail to replace Gerry, but I also caused you worry... Have you found Gerry?"

"We found him! Yes!" Janet nodded repeatedly, "Darleen, don't worry, Gerry is safe now. You just focus on getting better."

Darleen sniffled, crying, "Janet, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I caused you to misunderstand Gerry... I'm sorry..."

Hearing this, Janet, with a heart full of compassion, said, "Silly child, it's not your fault. It was grandma who didn't understand the situation. I know you meant well! Don't worry, grandma doesn't blame you!" "Thank you, grandma!"

"It's okay, my dear, everything's alright now."

Edna stood by, wiping away tears, her voice hoarse, "Janet, indeed, Darleen was wrong this time, but thankfully Gerry has been found. If Gerry hadn't been found, we would have been the ultimate sinners!"
