Chapter 602
Regina was extremely frightened at first. When she saw me it felt like she had seen her savior. “Emilia, tell them to let me go immediately. I have a bad heart, and I can’t be scared like this!”
Upon hearing her domineering tone, I narrowed my eyes.
Although I had investigated Regina’s relationship with Henry before, Henry was mainly the one to blame for everything.
He was too crazy for a woman, and he was a psycho. Even if Regina wasn’t in the picture, he would still do the same for someone else. So, I wasn’t too harsh on her.
However, looking at her at that moment, it was clear that she wasn’t innocent at all. Since she dared to talk to me in such a commanding tone, she probably knew Henry was using Grandma to threaten me. In fact, she might be the one who suggested the idea.
After all, Henry had always been a coward, and he was always scared of Grandma. So, he never would’ve thought of using Grandma to threaten me.
I narrowed my eyes and scanned Regina from top to bottom before setting my gaze on her face. Although I wasn’t a doctor, I had interacted with a lot of patients before due to my medical research. I did everything according to my investigations and what Henry had told me before.
Regina’s heart condition was critical, and she would be done for if she didn’t get a new heart soon. Even if they found a suitable one later, it would be too late.
However, judging by her looks and her tone earlier, it didn’t seem like she was dying at all. She wasn’t even panting after being dragged all the way here. A thought suddenly hit me, and my gaze darkened.
Since I was able to detect something wrong with Regina, William was able to do the same too. Before I said anything or even looked at him, he immediately got someone to look into her so–called condition.
After William’s men left, he shot his other men a glance, and those people let go of Regina right away.
Seeing how I had let her go after she demanded it, she looked smug. However, she pretended to be weak and innocent.
“Emilia, I know why you brought me here. I told your dad not to do it and that I had accepted my fate. Even if I get a new heart, I might not survive at all. So, I told him to stop trying. However, he insisted on doing it and even got his own mom involved…”
As she spoke, tears began to roll down her face. “I really didn’t want this to happen, but no matter how much I talked to him, he just wouldn’t listen. There really is nothing I can do, so it’s pointless for you to bring me here. I think you’d better listen to him and do as he says.
“Don’t let anything happen to your grandma. Otherwise, her blood will be on my hands, and I’ll have to die for it….
Henry had told Regina that I cared about Grandma the most I could do anything for her, even if it meant sacrificing my life. That was why Regina thought she could control me and thought I brought her here to see Henry.
She figured I wanted her to beg Henry to let Grandma go.
After Regina was done speaking, it seemed like she realized she had forgotten to act weak. So, she immediately coughed a little and swayed from side to side. It was as if she were so weak that she could drop to the ground at any moment.

Seeing her act, I finally understood why Julianne was so great at acting weak. It turned out that she had gotten it from her mother.
However, Julianne was young, and she truly looked pitiful when she pretended to be weak. On the other hand, Regina wasn’t young anymore. Anyone would think she looked disgusting when she acted fragile.
