The butler rushed over to them the moment the door flew open. Nervously, he announced, Mr. Hadley. something bad has happened! Old Mrs. Hadley, she

Upon hearing the butler’s words, Charlie immediately tensed up and hurried out of the room. When Linda heard that something had happened to Felicia, she immediately thought it was her chance to show off her filial piety. There was no way she was going to allow Julia to show her up.

She snorted coldly in response. “The doctor is with her at the moment.”

Her aloof manner made Charlie feel uncomfortable.
