Chapter 157

To avoid being noticed by Madeline’s staff on the way to the hospital, Suzette had purposelymaintained a good distance away from them. She had waited a few moments after they got off beforeleaving her own vehicle. The hospital was eerily silent as she walked in, unlike the typical scenes ofdoctors and nurses running around tending to emergencies.

If Suzette guessed correctly, Madeline must have been warded in the VIP rooms, where each roomwas equipped with the latest amenities and

emergency equipment. She knew a little about this hospital and its wealthy clientele, having been oneof its patrons before the Grants fell down the rungs of society. Angie frequented this place very often forher thousand-dollar facials when she and Noah were still an item, Suzette recalled sorely.

The bitterness quickly turned into hatred, and the hatred turned into physical anger as Suzette stormedthe hallways of the hospital. Everything that the wench had today was meant to be Angie’s! Aftersneaking into a few rooms, she realized locating Madeline was proving to be more difficult than shehad imagined without any help. She found a junior nurse making her rounds and asked her fordirections to

Madeline’s room. To her surprise, the nurse obliged without much questioning or resistance, probablythinking Suzette was a senior nurse.

As Suzette approached Madeline’s ward, she took a peep from outside the door. The patient wascovered in tubes and gauze from head to toe and

breathing using a respirator. It did not look good, she concluded as she went into the room and took acloser look at the patient. Suzette could not help but

chuckle to herself as she took in the sorry state that Madeline was in.

“Ha ha ha, Madeline! How unlucky of you to have ended up like this!” Suzette let out a full-belliedlaugh, almost losing her balance from laughing too hard. Steadying herself with the medical equipmentbeside her, her flustered expression quickly recovered. “You look too pitiful in this state, darling! Whydon’t you let me send you on your way instead? Think of it as building good karma for your next life.Hopefully you won’t become an illegitimate child desperately wanting me as your mother again! Howgross!” Suzette had her hands on the respirator’s plug as she spoke.

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled the plug out of its socket. As she watched the patientstruggling to breathe, desperate for air, Suzette felt a

sense of euphoric joy take over her. “Madeline, I bet you don’t know, Old Mr. Quincy died exactly thesame way you’re dying now. He struggled and struggled until he was out of breath, ha ha ha!” Suzettecackled out loud as she

did a little dance around the room with the plug still in her hand. She was satisfied as she noticed thebody had stopped moving and turned around to leave the room.

“So, you played a part in Grandpa’s death too! I underestimated you, Suzette Grant!” Madeline’s voicewas murderous as she walked into the room,

backing Suzette into a corner.

“What are you talking about? Old Mr. Quincy’s death was your fault! Don’t try to pin it on me, you black-hearted witch!” Suzette tried to save herself after being exposed.

“I’m sure you know the truth better than I do. It’s alright even if you don’t admit it, since Angie will bearthe brunt of it anyway…” Madeline taunted.

“What do you mean? What did you do to Angie?!” Suzette demanded an answer as her eyes widenedwith fear. Did Noah already know the truth about Angie? Was that why he insisted he would not takeany other wife apart from Madeline? What was going to happen to Angie then? Did Madeline dosomething to her daughter? A million thoughts raced through Suzette’s mind.

“Angie admitted herself that she was the one who caused Grandpa’s death. I should have guessed itwas her clever mother who helped her hide the truth all these years, but it’s time’s up for you now, mybeloved stepmother!” Madeline announced gravely.

“You crazy bitch! What are you saying? You won’t even acknowledge your own mother anymore?”Suzette wailed out loud, pretending not to understand a word.

In truth, she was shaking with fear. Did Angie really admit to murdering Old Mr. Quincy? How was thatpossible? That would make them enemies for life with the Quincys! When did Madeline Grant realizeshe was not her real mother? She barely sounded surprised when she brought it up just now. Suzettehad too many unanswered questions, but right now she could only berate Madeline unreasonably toavert the topic.

“Andy, did you get the surveillance footage clearly? Make the police report. Attempted murder on ahospital patient is a serious crime!” Madeline called out for her assistant as she looked at a bewilderedSuzette. She let out a cold

chuckle, laughing at Suzette and herself simultaneously. She could not believe what a fool she hadbeen all those years ago chasing after Suzette, desperately wanting her care and affection as amother. Even when Suzette had abandoned her without a penny, she still believed Suzette had herreasons. Young Madeline was so naïve!

“Yes, Boss! This room is equipped with world-class surveillance equipment. Ms. Grant’s face wascaptured on camera extremely clearly. There’s no way she could deny the attempted murder charge!”

Andy said as he waved in a few security guards who quickly surrounded Suzette.

“Madeline, I’m still your mother. You can’t treat me like this! How could you convict me of murder?!”Suzette yelled frantically. As the security guards grabbed hold of her hands, she finally

began to believe that this was not a dream. Madeline Grant had set her up and sentenced her to herown death.

“Suzette, I’ve known you were not my mother for a very long time now. You don’t deserve to be mymother anyway,” Madeline revealed as she took a few steps forward and came face to face withSuzette. “As for Grandpa’s murder, even though I don’t have proof of you as an accomplice yet, I’llnever stop looking. You’d best pray you’ll be spending the rest of your life in prison, because I’ll be thefirst to come after you if you ever step foot out of prison.”

Goosebumps pricked Suzette’s skin as she realized the gravity of her situation. As the security guardsescorted her out of the hospital, her wails could be heard throughout the hallway, much to

Madeline’s chagrin.

“Andy, this was all thanks to your alertness. You noticed Suzette the moment she stepped foot in thehospital,” Madeline said gratefully. She did not dare imagine what would have happened if Andy did notnotice

Suzette. Truthfully, she did not think Suzette had it in her to murder someone in a hospital.

“Ha ha,” Andy chuckled. “Apart from our state-of-the-art medical equipment, we also invest in state-of-the-art security systems!” Andy joked, trying to lighten the mood. He was just glad to be able to helpand protect Madeline.

“Thank you for everything,” Madeline repeated herself once more, her expression full of gratitude.

“No worries at all, Boss!” Andy replied, a little shy from all the attention.

“Could you help me inform Noah that

the accomplice who murdered Grandpa has been arrested and sent to the police station? Let him dealwith it as he sees fit,” Madeline said.
