The Killer Queen by Noella Briony
Chapter 28
Chapter 28
In the ICU ward of Tranquility City First Hospital, Milford lay amid a sea of tubes and wires, appearing as a human pincushion, barely hanging on by a thread. Any slight movement and he was in a world of hurt!
Once handsome, his face now grotesquely swollen, bearing no resemblance to its former self, almost resembling a pig’s head.
The three from the Lambert family stood before him, all gobsmacked!
Briony, seeing her beau looking like something out of a horror show, wanted to grab Milford’s hand but couldn’t find a gap amidst the jungle of tubes!
It was a face not even a mother could love!
Briony let out a blood–curdling scream!
“Milford, how on earth… what happened to you?”
Belinda was shell–shocked too.
Milford had been a looker since he was a tot, which was why she and his mother Linsey had secured this marriage arrangement when he was still in diapers. They were worried that a guy with such good looks and from an affluent family would be snatched up by someone else if they didn’t act quickly.
Now, looking at Milford’s face, Belinda could hardly believe her eyes!
“Oh Milford, what’s become of you?”
Linsey was on the sidelines, bawling her eyes out. “Who would have guessed? Milford was just heading to a business meeting and some thugs jumped him halfway there! It’s like there’s no law and order anymore!”
Briony’s heart was in her throat. “Did you guys call the cops? This is outrageous; we,

Linsey hemmed and hawed.
need to
If they went to the cops, wouldn’t the whole saga of Milford living it up in the bar, ringing up a storm on the tab with a bevy of bar girls, become the talk of the town?
Linsey was too chicken to call the cops, partly because she feared Milford might have ticked off some lady who decided to get even.
If the Lambert family got wind of this, their precious marriage deal would be toast!
Milford, his voice hoarse and broken, managed to gasp out, “Noella… Noella!”
