She couldn’t help but wonder what Selina and Howard might have done in this very roon Marina tud praised his artistry, and as a child, Selina wa. often bere playing
Could it be that they had their first taste of forbidden love right hem?
Gwendolyn realized she wasn‘) as magnanimous as she thought
Her phone’s ringtone snapped her out of her reverte, and she picked it up to hear urgent news. “Okay, I be right there she said, starting
to panic
Gwendolyn buried downstairs.
At Bayndge Hospital’s Orthopedic Ward, Nicolette lay propped up in bed, her right leg scratched and her knew a raw, bloody mess
Nicolette looked up gratefully at the elegant lady standing before her, “Madom, your kindness is boundless, I can’t thank you enought
“Don’t mention it ”
Breathless, Gwendolyn burst in, “Grandma, are you alright? What brought you to Hayridge City all of a sudden?”
“I wanted to see you, my dear. Gwennie, I know you miss me, Nicolette said with tears in her eyes, trying to reassure her. “The doctor said it’s just a scrape and I’ll be fine in a couple of days. This lovely lady was kind enough to bring me to the hospital”
Gwendolyn tumed to the woman in the comer of the room – Magnolia.
With a harmless smile, Magnolia said, “Dr. Quigley, if you don’t mind, can we talk outside?”
“Of course, Gwendolyn replied.
Nicolette, puzzled, added, “Do you two know each other? What a small world–you even look somewhat alike.”
Gwendolyn explained. “She’s a relative of another patient; we’ve met a few times. Rest now, Grandma, and don’t move around too much.” Turning to Magnolia, she said, “Let’s talk outside.”
Magnolia, lifting her skirt gracefully, followed her out of the room.
The hallway of the private ward was quiet, with hardly anyone passing by
Beading sweat dotted Gwendolyn’s forehead, her hair sticking to her cheeks, making her look almost endearing.
Magnolia stared for a moment before adopting her high society poise to speak, “It seems your grandmother is your Achilles‘ heel, but you might not be so lucky next time.”
Gwendolyn’s gaze sharpened as she looked up, “What do you mean?”
Magnolia stared back into her eyes with resolve, “Selina is my daughter, and there’s nothing a mother wouldn’t do for her child. You, being Gemma’s daughter might not understand the feeling of being cherished.”
She laughed softly, “Dr. Quigley, I’d rather not make this difficult for you. Just divorce Howard Chadwick, and III grant whatever you wish.” Here we go again.
Gwendolyn glared at her, “So, you’re behind my grandmother’s accident? How can you be so cruel?”
By now, she knew that today’s events were orchestrated by Magnolia, And yet she had the audacity to act the part of the benevolent savior in front of Nicolette.
Magnolia’s smile widened and she replied, “Dr. Quigley, one mustn’t speak carelessly. I am the kind lady who brought your grandmother to the hospital. Don’t jump to conclusions:“/
Gwendolyn enunciated every word, “Mrs. Hamilton, Claude is still in my hands.”
