Chapter 374
Gregory quickly caught Ramona as she fell, swiftly Instructing the butler, âFarley, is there an ambulance on its way?â
âYes, itâs already at the front gate.â Farley had seen Ramona collapse and Immediately sent a servant to call for a medical team.
It was all in preparation for âLillianaâsâ frail health, just in case of an emergency. Little did they know it would come in handy so soon.
Ramona got loaded into the ambulance, and I followed in Gregoryâs car, rushing to the hospital. By the time we arrived, Ramona had been in the emergency room.
My emotions were a whirlwind. I wanted to cry, yet I couldnât. Mostly, I was panicked and scared.
The sound of hurried footsteps approached. The Myers family had also arrived.
Dorothy came running and pushed me aside with a disgusted look. âJane, what are you doing here? Youâre nothing but bad luck!â
I steadied myself, looking at her coldly. âMy grandmother is ill. What I do is none of your business.â
I might have had my doubts before. But right then, I had no time to ponder. I just wanted to know how my grandmother was doing.
âYour grandmother?â Dorothyâs face broke into a smirk, âYouâve got some nerve. Even the tests at the Ford familyâs hospital were questionable, and you think a foreign document will get you through the Myers familyâs door?â
I frowned, asking, âWhat are you trying to say?â
âGreg always favored you, but who knows what samples were sent abroad for testing? Your hair or someone elseâs?â Dorothy challenged.
âDorothy has a point. Susan was against my presence, determined not to acknowledge me, âMs. Webster, itâs better you understand your place as an outsider.â
It was as if I was not her daughter but rather the child of an enemy.
Almost reflexively, I turned to Richard, my lips twitching, âMr. Myers, do you feel the same?â
Richard looked visibly troubled and was about to speak when Susan took his arm, âHoney, youâve thought it
through unât you? When Lilliana went missing, the situation was so complicated. How could we
possibly find her again? And now, to bring another impostor home?â
s eyes
Somehow, a shadow passed over before he looked at me distantly. âMs. Webster, you know, we need to be cautious!â
Gregory covered the inquiry in his eyes and, before I could speak, put his arm around my shoulder, saying softly, âLetâs focus on Ramonaâs condition for now.â
His words seemed to settle the matter.
Neither Richard nor Susan said anything more, though Dorothy looked displeased. âWhat do Does she get to stay? Grandma might not have ended up like this if it werenât for her!â
you
mean?
âWhatâs meant to happen will happen.â Gregory spoke lightly, dismissing her accusation before glaring at her, âSince youâre so sure she isnât Lilliana, why the rush to send her away?â
Dorothy faltered, then retorted, âWhoâs rushing?â

âEnough!â Fearing a confrontation between Dorothy and Gregory would end poorly, Susan Interjected, âDorothy, stop arguing. Once your grandmother comes out of the emergency room alive, whoever needs to leave will leave.â
I clenched my fists, feeling Gregoryâs hand on my shoulder press a bit harder as if he were telling me to stay calm.
Thinking about how Ramona was still in danger made me even more nervous.
Gregory had mentioned Ramonaâs poor health before. But coughing up blood must be a sign of something serious. Ramona always seemed so lively, not at all like someone gravely ill.
Every second was more agonizing than waiting for the DNA test results. About an hour later, the door to the emergency room finally opened.
