Chapter 105
“Where… where did she get so much money?!” Marianne’s eyes widened as she stared at the card in Patrick’s hand, her face a mask of disbelief.
Then, her brow furrowed fiercely. “No wonder she didn’t have any expenses in the four years she was here! She must have been siphoning off the Wynn family’s money and stashing it away for herself p>
Otherwise, how could a country girl like Serena have 500,000 dollars?
That money clearly belonged to the Wynn family!
“Everything you bought for her combined isn’t even worth 100,000! How could she turn those items into cash? Is anything missing from her room? Have you ever given her a single dollar of allowance p>
Patrick couldn’t understand how her mind worked. He took the bank card and turned to leave. “Now that we have the money, let’s hurry to Le Céleste. If we can intercept the Lancasters, Serena will have finally made a contribution to this family p>
Serena was taking a nap in her room when the ringing of her phone woke her.
It was Dr. Dawson from Starlight Royal Medical Center.
She blinked her eyes open and answered, immediately hearing Dr. Dawson’s urgent voice on the other end. “Miss Serena, I’m so sorry to bother you, but we have an emergency. It’s the young girl from the car accident you saved last week. She’s… suddenly experiencing severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a sharp drop in blood pressure. Conventional treatments aren’t effective, and I was at my wit’s end, so I had to disturb you p>
Serena’s brow furrowed slightly as she recalled the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl Alfred had accidentally grazed with his car.
She remembered that after everything was settled, the girl hadn’t pressed charges against Alfred.
She had even called to thank Serena, taking full responsibility for the accident in hopes that Alfred wouldn’t feel guilty.
She was a kind and sweet girl.
This was a loose end she needed to tie up.
“I understand. I’m on my way,” Serena said, hanging up and immediately getting out of bed.
She quickly washed her face, grabbed a small bottle from her drawer, and tossed it into her canvas bag.
She slung the bag over her shoulder and walked out the door.
Just then, she saw Alfred hurrying toward her, his face etched with tension and worry. “Miss p>
“I know. Let’s go.” Serena threw the bag over her back and strode quickly down the stairs.
Alfred watched her go, his eyes turning a little red. He felt a mix of gratitude and anxiety as he hurried to follow her.
Downstairs, Catherine was making dessert by hand. Seeing Serena with her bag, she asked, “Serena, are you going out again p>
“Yes, something came up,” Serena nodded.
Catherine looked at her with reluctance and concern. “Then tonight p>
Serena glanced at the time. “After I’m done, Alfred will take me to Le Céleste p>
Although Catherine didn’t want her
to go, she knew her daughter was busy with important matters. She couldn’t help and she certainly couldn’t hold her back. “Be safe, then, she urged. “Come find us at Le Céleste when you’re finished. We’ll let them know you’re coming p>
Serena gave a small nod and left quickly with Alfred.
From a corner of the hallway, Agnes peeked out, watching them disappear and narrowing her eyes.
Once Serena was gone, she took out
her phone and sent a message to Isabella. (Alfred just left with thất girl, They seemed to be in a real hurry, idea where they’re going p>
Starlight Royal Medical Center.
The moment Serena and Alfred arrived, the white-haired Dr. Dawson, who had been waiting personally, rushed toward them as if he’d seen his lasthope Miss Serena, you’re finally here! Miss Blackwood is in the special care unit. We’ve only been able to stabilize her vital signs for now p>
