Chapter 266
“That degenerate gambler? After Megan went to prison, no one was funding his lifestyle. I hear he’s fallen on hard times,” Sandra said.
Yvonne continued, “Queena may be George’s illegitimate daughter, but according to the official story, we were switched at birth, which makes her my adoptive father’s daughter. Since he’s struggling so much, it would be perfectly normal for him to ask his daughter and son-in-law for a financial support, wouldn’t it?”
Her original self’s adoptive father was a monster who had abused a child—as vile and shameless as Megan.
Yvonne had sent Megan and George to prison but had deliberately left him
untouched because he still had his uses. And now, he was proving to be quite useful indeed.
Since Oscar had so much time on his hands, she decided she would be happy to give him something to worry about.
Sandra’s eyes lit up at the idea.
A prestigious family like the Rogerses would never know a moment’s peace if a scoundrel latched onto them.
“I’ll have someone inform Dave right away. He’ll be ecstatic to learn that his ‘daughter’ married into wealth and that he has a rich son-in-law.”
“And hire some capable bodyguards to protect Dave, just in case the Rogers family decides to silence him permanently,” Yvonne added.
“Understood.” Sandra immediately pulled out her phone and stepped out of the hospital room, eager to set the plan in motion.
No one had informed Teresa and Jeffrey about Yvonne’s hospitalization.
But Jeffrey, working in the healthcare system, eventually found out. By the time they learned of it, however, Yvonne was already well on her way to recovery.
When Teresa and Jeffrey entered the room, Yvonne was sitting on the edge of her bed, slowly sipping a nourishing broth.
“I heard you were injured and in the hospital. Is it serious? My dear, it seems like you’ve had a string of bad luck lately. When you’re discharged, you must come with me to church to pray and ward off this misfortune.” sŵnovels
Teresa looked at Yvonne with deep concern. Although Yvonne’s injuries had mostly
healed, her face was still pale and she looked weak.
Jeffrey remained silent, but he walked to the bedside and glanced at the patient information chart, noting the attending physician’s name. He planned to speak with the doctor later to inquire about Yvonne’s condition.
Yvonne finished the last of her broth, set the empty bowl aside, and then looked up at Teresa and Jeffrey Her tone was polite but distant it was just a accident. It’s nothing serious, and be discharged soon. Thank
you for your concern.”
“We’re family. Don’t speak to us like we’re strangers,” Jeffrey said.
He continued, “Has the doctor said when you can go home? Mom has already prepared your room, and we’ve hired a caretaker. You’ll need to rest and recover even after you’re discharged, and Mom can look after you.”
Just as Jeffrey finished speaking, the door swung open, and Bennett walked in, holding her discharge papers.
His gaze swept coolly over Teresa and Jeffrey before he spoke to Yvonne. “The discharge paperwork is complete. You can leave now.”
“Okay.” Yvonne nodded and stood up from the bed.
Helen took a coat from the rack and thoughtfully draped it over her shoulders.
Seeing this, Jeffrey couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Thompson, where are you taking my sister?”
Bennett gave him a cold look
without a word. It was Helen who
answered. “Ms. Jones was injured
protecting the young master. It’s only right that he takes her home to care for her. Besides, Ive been
looking after her for the entire month she’s been hospitalized. You, her ‘mother’ and ‘brother,’ are just
showing up now. You probably wouldn’t even know how to care for a patient.”
