Bride Behind The Mask Novel

Chapter 501

“You’re full of it!” Yuna sobbed, kneeling and clutching Frederick’s leg, tears and snot mixing as she pleaded, “Freddie! You can’t just take her word for it! She’s Marguerite Lockwood’s daughter for heaven’s sake! You know how much Marguerite despises me! She’s just parroting her mother’s words! Freddie, why on earth would you believe a stranger over me? After all, I’ve given you twins!”

Yuna tried to play the children card again, but Frederick’s expression was unyielding and grim, his eyes filled with a chilling wrath that seemed to wish her straight to hell, never to find peace again.

“Children? Do you even remember that Hayes is your son?”

“Freddie, I…I…”

Their argument terrified little Teresa, who burrowed into Marguerite’s embrace, her cries tinged with fear, pitiful beyond words, “Mommy, protect me! I’m so scared!”

Marguerite grabbed Teresa into her arms, then moved towards Hayes’ hospital bed, her other hand brushing his cold, frighteningly clammy cheek.

Marguerite was wrapped in an unprecedented fear as she turned to Frederick in panic, “Hayes is so cold! What do we do?”

Frederick’s nerves snapped tight. He kicked Yuna aside and strode over, reaching out to check Hayes’ pulse.
