The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 103

He wondered, if he spilled all the dirt on Noella to the Schnabels, would they still welcome her with open arms?

He didn’t want to take things that far, but it was all that heartless girl’s own doing.

Vincent thought this as he let out a long sigh.

Just thinking about his own health made him restless!

“Briony, did Ms. Schnabel mention when she might drop by?”

“Ms. Schnabel is already on her way.”

Upon hearing this, the Rosenbergs decided to camp out in the hospital room.

If Ms. Schnabel really had the connections, they would do anything to have her reach out to Dr. Schnabel too. This was a matter of life and death!

Two hours later, Yvonne strutted into Fortress Hospital, her chin up, dressed in a flouncy pink tulle dress.

It had been years since she’d set foot in such a rundown hospital. Typical of a bumpkin’s hometown; it was no wonder Noella reeked of provinciality, having grown up in such a dump.

Briony spotted Yvonne from afar and hurried over with a look of excitement.

“Ms. Schnabel, you’ve finally arrived.”

“Where’s Noella?”

Briony pointed upstairs. “She went up there. Upstairs are the maternity and neurology wards. She must’ve gone to maternity.”

Joy spread across Yvonne’s face!

Ulrich had arranged a full health screening for Noella when she first returned to the Schnabel family. It was impossible she had any brain issues.

Yvonne remained cautious. “Do you know if Noella is acquainted with someone who’s not right in the head? The kind that needs surgery?”

“Not at all. Noella always kept to herself; she didn’t have many friends.”

This got Briony’s blood boiling.

Noella had always acted so superior, never giving Briony the time of day. In her younger years, Briony had tried to befriend her, but Noella wouldn’t even look at her!

Yvonne relaxed, a smug look spreading across her face. “Then it must be some secret lover Noella’s keeping in the sticks, something she’s done to disgrace the Schnabel family. Why else would she come to this trashy hospital?”
