Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 85

Laverne and Yuna locked eyes, Laverne's eyes filled with fear. She raised her trembling arm slightly, her voice sounding weak and helpless like that of a child, "Yuna...Yuna...”

Yuna was freaked out by Laverne's gaze. Her mind was in such a whirl that she almost hit the deck.

Laverne woke up?

The old lady woke up out of the blue?

Did she hear everything Yuna said earlier?

"Yuna...Yuna, don't hurt me."

Damn, Laverne did hear.

Laverne's look had Yuna scared out of her wits. Facing Laverne, she was frozen in fear, her heart pounding like a drum, feeling like she was about to suffocate.

"Yuna, don't hurt me. Can you call a doctor for me, I miss you."

Laverne's voice almost drove Yuna mad. It was a plea, but to Yuna's ears, it sounded like a threat.

She was awake.

She was gonna spill the beans.

No.

Absolutely not.

In a split second, Yuna's eyes flared with malice.

Grinding her teeth, she picked up the syringe and stood up. One hand smothered Laverne's mouth without hesitation, and the other plunged the syringe into her artery.

Laverne's eyes bulged, staring at Yuna in disbelief.

The only thought that ran through her mind was what would Marguerite do if Yuna was going to get her killed? Was Marguerite safe now? But if her death could be traded for Marguerite's safety, she would trade her life for it.

After all, she'd already been around the block more than seventy times.

Yuna injected her with five doses of tranquilizer, enough to kill a horse.

With the final injection, Laverne slowly closed her eyes.

She sat weakly at the door of the operating room, her heart aching with pain, sadness, and an unbearable reality.

She stared blankly ahead, shaking uncontrollably, tears falling incessantly, but she felt nothing.

Suddenly, she felt someone shaking her shoulder, a deep male voice muffled in her ears, "Marguerite? What are you doing here? Is it your family in the operating room?”

Slowly coming to her senses, Marguerite saw the man in front of her was Frederick.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes filled with concern.

It was not strange for Frederick to appear in the hospital. Since he found Yuna's grandma, he had Chuck keep a close eye on Laverne's condition.

So not long after Laverne was wheeled into the operating room, Frederick got the news and rushed over.

But he never expected to see Marguerite there.

At this moment, Marguerite's mind was a mess. Seeing Frederick, she kept repeating the same sentence on her pale face, "My grandma suddenly stopped breathing."

Frederick's pupils dilated in surprise, "Laverne is your grandma?”
