Chapter 373 Gloria's Bento Delivery in Progress
Ian had crashed headfirst into a tree, the skin on his forehead scraped raw by the rough bark, stinging with intense pain.
With his explosive temper, he got up and ran towards Gloria and Annie, shouting and screaming:
"Stop, you child-abusing madwoman, let go of that girl!"
Just as I reached the staircase, the bodyguards wearing sunglasses standing on both sides of the stairs stretched out their arms to block my way.
Standing on the steps, Gloria stroked Annie's head affectionately and instructed her bodyguard:
"Grandma Mel was about to arrive, don't let this nonsensical boy come up and disturb
us.
"Yes, Madam!" The bodyguards of the William family said in unison, grabbing Jan and not allowing him to go upstairs.
They all knew that "Rosalie" was the woman William loved the most, and no one dared to disrespect "Rosalie".
"Let me go, bastard!" lan struggled to reach out to Annic.
Anne also raised her hand, her eyes filled with urgency.
But Gloria pressed her down with a faster speed, forcibly picked her up and carried her upstairs, disappearing around the stair corner.
"Bastard!" Ian despised adults who bullied children the most, but with his small arms and legs, he was simply powerless to change the situation, and could only leave in anger.
Ile touched the wound on his forehead, thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and went to the bathroom - if he didn't clean up, his mother would find out he was hurt and worry about him.
During the process of lan cleaning the wound.
Outside the hospital building, a formidable old lady, who didn't glance sideways, walked up.
She was William's grandmother, Mel.
Mel was dressed in a black military uniform, with a gun at his waist and numerous medals on his chest. His white hair was tucked under his military cap.
Her face was etched with the traces of wrinkles left by the years, yet her eyes were unusually sharp and fierce. At a glance, she was clearly not a character to be trifled with.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Behind her, there stood two slightly younger French soldiers, presumably her trusted subordinates.
Passersby consciously made way for her, and some recognized her identity, quietly mentioning it to their friends.
Before long, the news that the strongest and oldest female officer in France had come to the hospital was known by many.
Mel didn't care about the attitudes of others, she made her way to Gloria's hospital room and pushed the door open.
Gloria was holding Annie, acting "affectionately".
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she let go of Annie, got out of bed and respectfully said to Mel, "Grandmother."
"IImm." Mel responded indifferently. Ilis gaze softened slightly when he saw Annie, and he leaned forward slightly, opening his arms and calling out:
"Annie, let Grandma Zeng hold you."
Anne quickly ran over and threw herself into Mel's arms, clutching tightly onto Mel's clothes.
Autism made Annie's emotional expression very dull, only revealing a bit of discomfort when it reached an extreme.
The current situation was, indeed, a non-extreme state.
This led Mel to assume that Anne also missed him, squeezing out a kind smile on his stern face.
Gloria by the bed gently curled her lips.
Thankfully, Annie was autistic, otherwise, it would have been difficult to handle her.
"Xiao Xiao." Mel released Annie, straightened up, and looked coldly at Gloria's flat belly.
"Tell me exactly how you had the miscarriage, without leaving out a single detail." Gloria had the look of someone who had been reminded of a sad event, wiping away non-existent tears from the corner of her eyes.
"Grandma, do you remember William's good friend, Preston? The heir of the USA King family."
"Remember, what does this have to do with him?" Mel frowned.
Being in the military, she was not aware of various hot news from the outside world.
"I was the one who was pushed down the stairs by Preston's fiancée, ITedy, causing a miscarriage!" Gloria gritted her teeth in anger.
She said she looked like Hedy's enemy, so Hedy assumed she really was the enemy, didn't listen to her explanation, and pushed her down from upstairs.
They even said that the mall's surveillance was broken, which gave Hedy the opportunity to slander. She actually staged a self-directed play, framing both Black
and herself with a defamation charge.
Black was still in detention as of then.
It was really too much.
Listening to Gloria's description, Mel's face grew colder and colder. Subconsciously, his hand rested on his sidearm as he asked in a deep voice:
"Where was that Hedy now?"
"I didn't know that she was the fiancée of the King family, the most powerful family in the USA. I thought, maybe I should just swallow my pride," Gloria feigned heartbreak, walking to the window to gaze at the scenery below.
Coincidentally, Hedy was at the hospital, just passing by downstairs!
"She's at the hospital!" Gloria exclaimed with immense joy, raising her voice. Sensing
the tone was off, she added in a softer voice:
"Grandma, she actually came to the hospital too, she's downstairs."
Mel gave a nod to his two confidants.
The confidant immediately came to the window and, following Gloria's finger, saw
what Hedy looked like.
"Go, bring her to me." Mel sat in the chair, holding Anne on her lap.
"Yes, sir!" The two confidants quickly descended the stairs.
Blocked Iledy's way.
"Is there a problem?" Iledy frowned at the two big guys in front of her.
"Our superior wanted to see you." one of his confidants said with an air of arrogance.
"Who was your superior?"
"General Mel, Mr. William's grandmother," another confidant explained.
Hedy probably knew they were up to no good, and said indifferently, "What if I don't
want to see them?"
The two men didn't speak, instead they gently placed their hands on their sidearms.
They hinted to Hedy: If you don't leave, we will shoot you directly.
Don't ask why, just know that General Mel had this privilege!
No matter how long your hands are, they couldn't reach my army in France!
Iledy lowered her eyelids.
She could indeed beat these two men.
The problem was, Mel wanted to see her, and it was meaningless for her to beat these
two men.
"Lead the way." Hedy didn't resist anymore.
A mocking glint appeared in the eyes of the two men, thinking they had scared Hedy
with their guns.
They took Hedy to the ward where Gloria was.
***
William Group.
William, who was in a meeting, learned that his grandmother had gone to the
hospital. He hastily instructed the executives a few words and hurriedly drove to the
hospital.
Grandma had always disliked Xiao Xiao.
He feared that after Xiaoxiao's miscarriage, it would further disgust his grandmother.
even to the point of forcing Xiaoxiao to leave.
Isabella Apartment.
Preston, who was constantly monitoring the situation at the hospital, put down his
English papers, grabbed his coat, and rushed to the hospital.
William's grandmother, Mel, was a tough character with an iron fist. Her greatest wish was for the William family to have a new, outstanding heir.
If she had believed Gloria's words and blamed Hedy for the miscarriage, she might
have even had the heart to shoot someone.
More importantly, Hedy was going to the hospital today!
If the two groups collided, the consequences would be unimaginable, we had to get
there earlier!
***
Hospital.
Jan washed his face, covered the wound on his forehead with his hair, finally dusted
off his body, and returned to his mother's side.
"Where have you been playing? Why did you come back so late?" Rosalie raised her
eyebrows.
lan said, "I met a girl who couldn't speak and played with her for a while."
A thought crossed Rosalie's mind, could her son have met Annie?
She measured her height with her hand, "Was it a girl this tall, with blonde hair down
to here?"
"It was her!" Ian said discontentedly, "But her mother was so mean, she was harsh to
her and even hit her. Oh, by the way, her mother looked a lot like you did before you
started wearing makeup."
The pupils of Rosalic slightly contracted.
Not only did my son meet Anne, but he also met that imposter!
Her voice trembling with emotion, she gripped her son's shoulders, "Did you say her
mother hit her??"
"Uh huh, it was like this." Ian said, pinching his right arm with his left hand, patting
his own back, and then forcefully pulling his right arm forward, vividly
demonstrating.
Rosalie sat on the bed, her already pale face becoming even paler.
In an instant, the pale color turned into an angry red.
She walked into the en-suite bathroom of the ward, took out her special makeup
remover, and wiped off all the disguised parts on her face, revealing a face that looked
seventy to eighty percent like Gloria's.
The difference was, she was too thin.
"Mom?" Jan asked, puzzled.
Rosalie turned around, her eyes filled with maternal radiance, "Will you help Mommy
bring your sister back, okay?"
She could be poor.
Could be humble.
Could be lying on the sickbed, at death's door.
One could be trapped in a bustling city, starving.
But bullying her daughter, hitting her daughter-
No way!
She wanted to tear this counterfeit apart with her own hands!
