The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 205

She was intrigued by the Schnabels instead!

Malvina never expected that her casual inquiries about the Schnabel family, combined with her polite Interest in Ulrich’s medical work, would lead him to believe she was fascinated by the field of medicine.

Did she really look like someone who could understand all those medical terms?

Luckily for her, a nurse poked her head in to summon the ever–chatty Ulrich, “Dr. Schnabel, there’s an emergency patient!”

“I’m on it.” Ulrich dashed off, and Malvina seized the moment to toss aside the stack of medical journals he’d handed her while taking a deep breath in relief.

Malvina hobbled over, swamped in an oversized coat that clearly belonged to Ulrich.

“Did you sneak out without telling Ulrich?” Noella asked.
