Chapter 1597 - 1639: Heading to the Hospital

Chapter 1639

"Maybe it was just my imagination. There are so many people in the Hospital, maybe someone was calling someone else." Grace Yowell said, then got into the car together with Mrs. Li.

All the way, she gripped Mrs. Li’s hand tightly, fussing over her, "Mom, if you ever need to come to the Hospital again, just ask me to come with you. You coming over like this with only a servant, I’ll worry about you."

"I just didn’t want to trouble you." Mrs. Li said.

"Don’t say ’trouble’ or ’not trouble.’ I’m your daughter—being ’troubled’ by you, I couldn’t be happier." Grace said ingratiatingly. "Mom, I’m your only daughter, so from now on, no matter what it is, call me, let me properly fulfill my filial duty to you."

Mrs. Li gazed quietly at the person in front of her. Yes, this was her only daughter. Even if she had forgotten many things, she still knew that she had given birth to a child, so for all these years she’d always carried a sense of incompleteness in her heart.

She didn’t know where her child was, didn’t know how that child was living. Over these years, the matter of the child was like a chronic affliction in her heart, tormenting her all the time.

Until she saw that badge, until she saw the person standing before her now.

"Mm, good girl. Mom knows you’re filial. Mom only needs you to stay alive and well, that’s enough." Mrs. Li murmured. Stay alive and well... the words seemed to spill out from some subconscious place.

As if, in her memories, there was something terrible that could completely destroy her; as if, so long as the child could live, that alone was her greatest comfort.

Grace smiled and said, "Of course I’m going to live well. I still want to be with you for a very, very long time, Mom."

She would live better than anyone, and make sure Mabel Quinn would never find her biological mother.

After Mabel Quinn received the call from the Hospital, she was startled. "What? You said my father suddenly coughed up blood and passed out?"

"Yes, Miss Quinn, your father’s condition suddenly worsened. We just carried out emergency treatment—although his condition has stabilized for now, at the moment your father is still in a coma." The doctor on the other end of the phone explained the situation.

Mabel hurriedly said, "Then I’ll come to the Hospital right away."

Beside her, Kyle Kinston had also heard the contents of the call and asked, "Your father’s in trouble?"

"Yes, his condition suddenly got worse." Mabel said, her face full of anxiety.

"Then I’ll go to the Hospital with you." Kyle said. As for their daughter, he’d have Amelia Foster look after her for now.

When the two of them were hastily leaving the Mei residence, Master Mei happened to be returning and ran into them. He asked, "Do the two of you have some urgent matter and need to leave?"

"My dad suddenly felt a bit unwell at the Hospital, I’m going over to check on him." Mabel said.

"Which Hospital? Why don’t I have the Driver take you there?" Master Mei said.

"No need, it’s United Benevolence Hospital. It’s not far from here, we’ll just drive ourselves." Mabel said, then she and Kyle strode quickly toward where the car was parked.

Master Mei’s expression couldn’t help but darken slightly. United Benevolence Hospital—how could it be such a coincidence? Previously, although he knew Edward Quinn was hospitalized for treatment, he hadn’t expected it would be the same Hospital Clover often went to.

Would Clover and Edward Quinn have the chance to run into each other?

At that thought, Master Mei’s gaze grew involuntarily cold and sharp.
