Chapter 529

The news of William’s hospitalization didn’t stay under wraps for long. Mrs. Dillion showed up at the hospital first thing the next morning.

Brittany was jolted awake to find Mrs. Dillion shooting her a look of disapproval. “Ever since William met you, he’s been having nothing but bad luck!”

Brittany was at a loss for words and could only manage a soft, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Dillion.”

Mrs. Dillion was about to continue her tirade.

“Mom, enough already.”

William, now awake, frowned at the disturbance.

Worrying that he might be in discomfort, Brittany walked over to his bedside and asked, “Are you feeling better? Does it still hurt?”

William shook his head and said, “I’m good. You slept on the couch last night, it must’ve been tough.”

Mrs. Dillion rolled her eyes.

“I brought breakfast.”

Mrs. Dillion handed over a thermal food container to Brittany. Opening it, Brittany found chicken porridge and some fancy pastries.

It was enough food to feed an army, probably meant to include her share as well.

“Thank you, Mrs. Dillion.”

Mrs. Dillion wasn’t exactly a fan of Brittany, but since William seemed so taken with her, she had to play nice.
