Chapter 1162

"Eat your dinner properly."

Francis frowned slightly. "Don't play with your phone while you're eating. It's not good for your stomach."

Seeing it was something important, Francis handed her phone back. "Did your mom say anything?"

Rebecca opened her inbox. Sure enough, there was a reply from her mom.

As she read, her expression slowly changed, her brow furrowing, the lightness in her face replaced by concern.

"Yeah," Rebecca nodded. "My mom's in the hospital."

The email explained that Jacquetta had gallbladder surgery and was now staying
