Chapter 248

Laverne’s reaction was so intense that even Sadie had rushed over.

She rummaged through Marguerite’s hair, her surprise leaving her flustered, “Miss, that’s quite a knock!

Hold on, I’ll fetch you an ice pack!”

“No need, Sadie, you can rest.”

Marguerite was hurt, how could she rest? Ignoring Marguerite’s protests, she went to find an ice pack.

Marguerite sighed and withdrew her gaze, only to see Laverne’s piercing eyes fixated on her.

“Grandma, I…

“It was Yuna again, wasn’t it?”

Marguerite’s words were stuck in her throat, she hadn’t expected her grandma to guess so quickly. Ail she could do was nad silently in response. “Dammit! What is Yuna up to?!” Laverne slapped her thigh in fury, her eyes welling up with tears, “Does it hurt a lot? Let grandma have a look!”

Seeing her grandmother’s tears, Marguerite’s heart clenched with emotion. She felt like she was back in the days before her grandmother lost the memory, when every time she was sick or injured, her grandmother would be just as worried as she was now.

Finally, her emotions, that had been held back for so long, burst forth.

Regardless of whether Laverne remembered her or not, she let her tears fall, her hand clenched into a fist pounding her chest, “Grandma, my heart hurts, it hurts so much…”

Laverne, with her frail, shaking hands, gently cupped Marguerite’s face, her thumb wiping away her tears, her voice filled with urgency and concern, “Calm down, Marguerite, calm down. Tell me what happened. What’s going on?”

Marguerite was sobbing so hard that she could barely speak.

“‘Yuna, she’s… she’s pregnant… She’s carrying Frederick’s child… I feel so suffocated, grandma, please don’t tell Frederick…”

The shocking news brought Laverne’s tears to a halt, “What did you say? Yuna’s pregnant?”

Marguerite nodded, tears streaming down her face, her nose sniffing continuously.

“When did this happen?”

“I don’t know, I think she just found out.”

Laverne stood there, stunned, unable to recover from the shock..

Yuna was pregnant?

How could that be possible?

Even after Frederick had kicked Marguerite out of the mansion, she had been watching him at home, worrying that Yuna would take advantage of the situation. And even when Frederick later moved to Seaside Manor, she would always find time to video call him late at night, only resting assured when she saw that Yuna wasn’t with him.

How could Yuna be pregnant?

Had she let her guard down?

Where did she go wrong?

Laverne’s mind was in turmoil, but seeing Marguerite’s tears was breaking her heart, so she quickly pulled her into a hug, patting her back gently, her voice soothing, “Sweetie, what’s yours is yours and no one can take it away. Of course, Laverne won’t let Yuna take anything away from Marguente ever again She didn’t say this out loud, only patting Marguerite’s back repeatedly Once Marguerite’s emotions had settled, Laverne hurried back to her room and stood there in deep thought for a long time. As if making up her mind. she decisively pulled out a photograph from the bottom of a box, a photograph that could prove Marguerite’s identity Whether Yuna was really pregnant or not, she couldn’t hide the truth any longer if Yuna could hurt Marguerite today then she could use her pregnancy to manipulate her tomorrow.

The situation would only escalate, and the more it developed, the more it would be against Marguerite Therefore, it was time for this secret to be revealed The next morning
