The Heir's Secret Bride

Secret Bride 429

Chapter 429

Maeve saw them scurrying over all worried. When he heard this, his expression did a flip. "Loren, what's going on?"

"Tom called just a bit ago. Loren got sent to the hospital cuz of poisoning!" Theo was still huffing and puffing, and his little kid voice was a bit hoarse. "Tom asked us to head over and check it out pronto. The car he sent is on its way!" Poisoned?!' Maeve remembered Loren had said before that things in the royal family were a bit iffy lately. The undercurrents were surging inside, and it was probably not very peaceful. His heart sank. Half an hour later, at the Royal Hospital.

This place was only for the royal family. There were guards all over the place, and they checked everything. Anyone going in or out had to go through a whole bunch of checks and ID verification. Outside Loren's ward were palace guards in their military uniforms, with guns on their hips. They stood all straight and tall, giving off a tough guy vibe.

As soon as Maeve and the crew showed up, Tom got the word and came out to greet them.

When he saw Byron tagging along with Maeve, a glimmer of shock flashed in Tom's glass-gray eyes.

He'd always thought Maeve's boyfriend was just some regular businessman.

Byron felt Tom's sizing-up stare and lifted his eyelids like he knew something was up.

Tom retracted his gaze and quickly walked to Maeve.

"Tom, Loren, how's he doing now?" Maeve blurted out. "Why'd he get poisoned?"

Theo tugged at Tom's clothes. "How's Loren?"

Tom nodded slightly. "Follow me in first."

In the ward, not long after the doc left, Loren was propped up against the headboard. He looked a bit peaky and was twirling an energy

When he saw Maeve and the two little ones enter, he immediately perked up. His originally droopy black curly hair curled

Loren patted the bed. "Come quickly!"

"Are you alright? I heard that you were poisoned?" Maeve walked over and sat down. He reached out to touch Byron's, forehead, but Byron stopped him halfway. "Men and women should keep their distance," Byron said cool as a cucumber.

The corner of Loren's mouth twitched. "Who is he?"
