Chapter 167 The Incident

The butler rushed over to them the moment the door flew open. Nervously, he announced, “Mr. Hadley. something bad has happened! Old Mrs. Hadley, she…”

Upon hearing the butler’s words, Charlie immediately tensed up and hurried out of the room. When Linda heard that something had happened to Felicia, she immediately thought it was her chance to show off her filial piety. There was no way she was going to allow Julia to show her up.

Thus, she hurriedly threw a coat over her pajamas and ran after Charlie.

Charlie looked worried as he strode toward Felicia’s room. Wiping the lipstick that was smeared across his face with one hand, he said, “What in the world happened?”

“We currently do not know, but we have already sent for the doctor. She had a slight fever initially, but fainted later on,” the butler reported truthfully.

It was unclear what was the matter with Felicia as it was also the first time they had seen the former in such a condition.

Charlie’s uneasiness grew heavier. “Did she eat something that did not agree with her?”

“She was fine after the meal earlier. Nothing was out of the ordinary.”

It was all so strange.

Since nothing could be done by merely talking about it, they made haste and hurried toward their destination.

At that moment, everyone was gathered outside Felicia’s room.

Julia looked uneasy, and clenching her fists did nothing to abate the worry she felt.

Charlie went over and asked in concern, “How is Mom doing?”

The old woman had always been quite healthy. She was a vegetarian and often exercised. She had never experienced any complications throughout the years. Thus, it was strange that she would suddenly faint. Julia’s eyes fell on the lipstick stain that Charlie had failed to wipe from his face. She snorted coldly in response. “The doctor is with her at the moment.”

Her aloof manner made Charlie feel uncomfortable.
