Chapter 71 Malicious intent surged within Cindy as she thought how unstoppable she would be once Madam Langford was out of the picture.
On top of that, Tina would soon be dead. Cindy would be the mistress of the Langfords! Without hesitation, Cindy reached out to unplug Madam Langford’s oxygen tube.
Bang!
The door was swung open in the nick of time.
Tina felt her body freeze. Was Samuel still awake? She’ll be damned if he sees her… “I-I’m here to visit Grandma…” Tina explained anxiously, gasping for air. Cindy looked at Tina with disbelief, eyes almost popping out of her sockets. She was quick to regain her composure and asked scornfully, “Weren’t you kicked out? How are you still here?”
“I’m so sorry Cindy,” said Tina, trying not to sound nervous. “I just wanted to check on Grandma. How is she doing now?” Cindy felt the tension left her body after realizing that Tina wasn’t aware of her intentions. She pretended to be gentle, though she was gloating on the inside. “As long as I’m here, nothing will happen. Samuel’s right next door, so you should leave. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what he’ll do if he finds out you’re here.”
Tina felt a rush of complicated emotions when she looked at Madam Langford lying helplessly on the bed.
She planned to leave as soon as she saw Madam Langford. Now that she was here, she was suddenly hesitant to leave. After all, Madam Langford was still in a horrible state. “Cindy, can I stay to take care of Grandma Langford? Please?” Cindy began to feel impatient. It took her quite an effort to drive Tina away, and the woman might seduce Samuel if she were to stay.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
At the same time, Sandy also realized that something was amiss. He quickly brought a group of people with him.
“How dare you show your face?! Get her out of here! And tell the hospital to not let her in!”
Tina grabbed the door frame with all her might, for she didn’t want to leave this easily.
Yet how can the weak body of hers go against those strong bodyguards? One after another, her fingers were pried open forcefully.
At that moment, they heard faint sounds coming from the bed. “Cough… cough…”
Cindy, who was the closest to the bed, shouted, “Grandma’s awake!”
“What?”
Without hesitation, Sandy shouted anxiously, “Get the doctor! i’ll inform Mr. Langford that
Madam Langford is awake!”
Tina, who was left unattended, lay nervously by the bed. Madam Langford looked at Tina and asked in a whisper, “Tina, is that you?”
“Yes, it’s me.” Tina held Madam Langford’s hand tightly and said in a choked voice, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you would show up at the event. I made the decision to give away the opportunity to someone else, but I never knew that it’d give you such shock…”
“My dear, there’s no need to cry. It’s not your fault.” Madam Langford coaxed her in a calming voice as she gathered what happened. “It was Samuel who angered me. It has nothing to do with you.” Even in
her terrible state, Madam Langford still had the patience to comfort Tina.
Tears streamed down Tina’s face as immense guilt crushed her.
“Grandma!” Samuel rushed to the ward as soon as he heard the news. His eyes immediately turned cold when he saw a familiar thin figure by the bed. “You dare to show up here, Tina?!”
Tina felt a frightened chill run down her spine.
