First Love's Return, Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 577

The weather was good today, with warm sunlight and a clear sky.

The doctor told Mariela that her wound was almost healed, and she could leave the hospital in about a week.

In the afternoon, Mariela saw the sunlight was good and wanted to go to the garden downstairs for fresh air.

This hospital was a private one owned by the Logan Group.

The previous hospital she stayed at was the nearest public hospital to the shooting location. On the day Royce jumped off the building, Deandre wanted to move Mariela to another hospital. But Mariela had just moved from the ICU to a general ward, so it wasn’t good to transfer her. For her health, Deandre listened to the doctor and kept her there.

After the funeral, Mariela was moved to the Logan family’s hospital to recover.

It had been raining for days, which made her feel somewhat downcast. Today, the weather improved. Mariela opened her ward door and went downstairs, with her bodyguard Haylee following behind.

When Mariela left the elevator and the hospital building, she saw someone familiar.

It was Juliette.

Why was she here?

A few days ago, Juliette was found guilty of spreading rumors online and leading fans to launch slanderous attacks against her.

Juliette was convicted of defamation and got a one–year suspended sentence.

However, Juliette was dissatisfied with the verdict and appealed.

The case was still in the second trial.

Mariela was the plaintiff, and Juliette was the defendant. As adversaries, why would Juliette come to the Logan family’s hospital?

It seemed Juliette didn’t know this hospital belonged to the Logan Group.

The garden Mariela was going to was in Juliette’s direction, so she walked towards her.

As she got closer, Mariela saw Juliette’s pale face and red eyes.

Juliette was crying hard, which stunned her somewhat.

The last time Mariela saw Juliette, she was boasting about being pregnant with Jaime’s child, probably a boy.

She proudly said she was going to marry into the Herman family.
