Chapter 512

Upon hearing it, Frederick’s brow furrowed deeply, the warmth that had been directed at Marguerite dissipating in on Instant.

“He comes demanding people without even the courtesy of a heads-up?” His accusatory tone was laden with reproach and a hint of detachment.

Marguerite stood up, swallowing the hurt from his questioning, her voice tinged with defiant resilience, neither servile nor overbearing, “I’m sorry for troubling you. I’ll handle my affairs and won’t make you intervene.”

With that, she turned on her heel with a stubborn tilt of her head and left the hospital room.

Frederick was left speechless.

Was she really getting feisty with him?

He’d just given her the chance to leave, and she wouldn’t. Now that Maurice had shown up, messing up his plans, wasn’t he entitled to a little anger?

Chuck, standing at the doorway, glanced at Marguerite’s retreating figure as she hurried downstairs, then back at Frederick, “Mr. Winston, are you worried about her?”

Impatience flashed in Frederick’s eyes as he snapped, “Why waste words? Just go!”

“Mr. Winston was indeed worried about Marguerite! If he was worried, why not just admit it and go himself? Such a tsundere!” Chuck mused with an amused smile and took off.

That would make Marguerite’s situation even more difficult.

Chuck planned to follow at a distance, ready to step in on Mr. Winston’s orders and shield Marguerite if a confrontation ensued.

Meanwhile, Teresa blinked her eyes at Frederick and pointed outside, saying, “I’ll go check on her too, Daddy Frederick. Don’t worry, I’ll convince my dad to let Mommy stay! You won’t be all alone in the hospital!”

Frederick just stared.

At the same time, at the entrance to the wards.

Marguerite pushed through the throng of bodyguards and strode towards Maurice.

She didn’t beat around the bush: “Hayes is in trouble, I need to stay at the hospital with him for the next few days.copy right hot novel pub
