The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 429 Taking Vera to the Hospital

Whether they were wrong or right, Molly, Vera, and Randall had made sure Jeffrey's crimes were exposed, and

with Molly's memory returning, the truth from years ago finally cto light. If they did something right, it was

because Molly's intervention might have saved Vera from a much worse fate.

It was impossible to argue about the morality of the situation now; the only hope was that this matter wouldn't

stir up any more trouble.

Vera wanted to go home, her voice trembling as she cried. "Shawn, | want to go back to Brianna and Warren."

Shawn instructed Randall, "Randall, drive Vera home."

In the hospital room, Molly said to Patrick, "Patrick, Vera wasn't supposed to be there. She showed up to save

Randall and me, tricking Jeffrey into thinking Emily appeared, which distracted him. "Unexpectedly, after Jeffrey

discovered Vera, he didn't even try to grab the phone with the recording. He clenched his fists as if he wanted to

tear Vera apart."

Others didn't know why, but Patrick and Vincent did.

Jeffrey's hatred for Vera was mostly because Patrick had directly pierced his palm with a fork. Few people could

escape such bitterness.

Unable to retaliate against Patrick, he could only take it out on Vera.

Otherwise, why would Vera matter more to him than a phone with recorded evidence?

How could Patrick not have thought of that?

The Olteran family members later all left the hospital, leaving Molly entirely to the Chase family.

On the way, Vincent glanced at Patrick, who was driving. "Control your temper. Vera may be lively, but she's still

a student. She's been pampered in the Linister family, and no one dares to bully her outside. However, you

scolded her, so you have to understand her feeling wronged and scared."

When Patrick returned home, he intended to find Vera, only to learn she had already left for her parents’ place.

Cindy asked, "Are you going to pick up Vera?"

Patrick, with a cold expression, said, "No."

The conflict between Patrick and Vera this twas quite serious.

Back home, Randall was spared from Patrick's wrath, but Cindy and Vincent nearly turned their anger on him.

Enraged, Randall retreated to a hotel.

Learning that Molly had a mild concussion, the Chase family, for safety's sake, still had Molly stay in the hospital

for a full-body checkup.

Ellie and Zoey wanted to stay in the hospital to accompany her.

Molly looked at Sebastian's retreating figure with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"What are you looking at? Wantto take care of you? I'm busy, no tto keep you company," Sebastian said

harshly.

Molly pressed her lips, puffing out her cheeks, not daring to ask for more.

She had thought Sebastian might have had feelings for her. It turned out she had been mistaken.

Sebastian and Timothy left the hospital together. On the way, Timothy said to Sebastian, "Molly has always

wanted you by her side whenever something happens. If you're not too busy with work this time, stay with her

more in the hospital. She just got hurt and is feeling wronged, she needs you to comfort her."

Sebastian replied, "Comforting her now is harming her. Dad, the Turner family is not easy to deal with. Jeffrey ran

away; Dennis got caught; but don't forget Jerry."

Timothy understood. Sebastian wanted to end all this quickly while they had evidence. "Then at least explain to

Molly. Didn't you see the way she looked at you when we left?"

Sebastian's eyes flickered with the memory of Molly's dependence on him. He was torn inside. "Sometimes,

staying away is the best way to ensure she stays safe in the future." Timothy sighed, "You're just like Patrick,

tough on the outside but caring deeply inside."

Sebastian didn't deny it.

After dropping Timothy off at his office, Sebastian returned to the station.

Back home, Vera showed up with swollen, tear-streaked eyes, leaving everyone puzzled. Brianna quickly called

Warren. Hearing Vera's distress, Warren rushed home. As soon as he entered the house, Warren saw Vera sitting

on the sofa. "Vera, tellwhat's wrong. Did Patrick stop you from going out and you're upset?" Vera took a

tissue to wipe her tears. "Dad, | want to stay at home."

Warren said, "You can stay at has long as you want. This will always be your home. You don't need to tell me

that. Stop crying, letsee, your eyes are all red." Brianna also comforted her, "Don't cry, Vera. Or your baby

will be a crybaby like you."

Vera took two more tissues, wiped her tears, and blew her nose.

"Are you sleepy?" Brianna asked.

Vera shook her head.

Brianna asked again, "Are you hungry?"

Vera nodded.

Brianna smiled and teased Vera, "Why didn't you tell us you were hungry? You cback crying. If you had said

so earlier, we would have prepared food for you." She quickly instructed the maid to prepare a meal according to

the previous menu.

Brianna and Warren sat at the dining table, accompanying Vera as she ate. Afterward, Brianna took Vera to her

bedroom to rest.

As Vera lay down, still sobbing, she struggled to find a peaceful sleep.

Warren waited downstairs. Seeing Brianna cout, he cautiously asked her, "Why was Vera crying?"

Brianna replied, "I couldn't get it out of her. Should we call Patrick and ask?"

Warren shook his head. "Let's not call. We'll know why she's crying by tonight."

Brianna, not as thoughtful as Warren, was just worried about Vera.

She couldn't help but worry about how to protect Vera if she was being mistreated by the Olteran family. In the

afternoon, Patrick neither called nor cover.

After waking up, Vera sat on the sofa, listless.

By evening, Patrick still hadn't called or shown up.

Just like before, Vera had dinner with Brianna and Warren, took a walk outside, and then went to bed.

The Olteran family's dining room was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to its usual bustle.

With Vera, Molly, and Randall all missing, the room felt cold and desolate.

The dining room was quiet, and Patrick exuded a cold aura, making Cindy want to speak to him but afraid of his

coldness.

Patrick ate only a few bites before getting up and returning to his study, not coming out the rest of the night.

Later that night, as Vera was about to drift off to sleep, she suddenly felt unbearable swelling in her legs. She

woke Brianna, who had already fallen asleep. "Mom, my legs are swelling." Brianna woke up immediately, and

Warren was also startled awake.

They didn't understand why Vera's legs were swelling.

Brianna saw that Vera's feet and ankles were indeed swollen. Her legs were also swollen.

Brianna anxiously asked Vera, "What's wrong? Why are your legs swollen?"

She hurriedly massaged Vera's legs, nervously asking, "Vera, does it hurt?"

Vera shook her head. "No, it just feels really uncomfortable."

Brianna had never experienced such a condition. She quickly called out to Warren, "Honey, let's take Vera to the

hospital."

Warren was already prepared. They drove Vera to the nearest hospital's emergency room late at night

immediately.

Coincidentally, Molly was also hospitalized in that hospital.
