The Billionaire’s Maid Bride

Chapter 401

Allison got home. She scored some ribs from the supermarket because they were on sale. She also grabbed some fresh fruits and veggies, and stashed them in the fridge. When she walked into the living room, she realized Grace was out. So, she whipped out her phone planning to give Grace a buzz to check in on her whereabouts and when she’d be making it home.

While she was at it, she noticed a bunch of news notifications popping up on her phone screen. Regardless of which chat app or browser she opened, the first news that popped up, eight out of ten times, was about some mishap at a posh charity ball – ‘Penelope fainting while trying to save Miranda, losing her kid’, and all that jazz.

She frowned slightly. Her gut was telling her that Grace might have made a beeline for the hospital.

Grace didn’t need to ask the nurses or doctors where Penelope’s room was. She could tell right away from the four bodyguards posted outside room 703. But she couldn’t get in. Grace was getting antsy.
