The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 193

“Without the Ratcliff family backing you up, what can Reese really do to you?”

Rosie’s heart skipped a beat, but she kept her face perfectly calm. “If Mr. Ratcliff finds out about this…”

Leslie cut her off. “This has nothing to do with you. As far as you know, you don’t know anything.”

Rosie watched her for a few seconds, weighing her options. “Alright, I’ll see what I can do. But this has to be done quietly. No mistakes.”

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Ramos.”

Leslie flashed a smile. “Just get me the staff schedule. I’ll handle the rest.”

As Rosie stood up to leave, Leslie’s smile dropped in an instant, replaced by a cold, calculating look. Once Rosie got her the schedule, she’d be involved, whether she liked it or not. The Ramos family would have no choice but to cover for her.

At the hospital, Reese woke up and glanced over at Annie in the next bed. When she saw the little girl’s fever was gone and her breathing was steady, she finally relaxed and let herself smile.

She sat up and spotted a small charm on her pillow. Picking it up, she saw it was a pendant from the church.

She blinked, her long lashes hiding the emotions in her eyes. After a while, she let out a soft laugh. Those amulets weren’t easy to get.

However, Sebastian’s efforts didn’t really matter anymore.

Still, you couldn’t just toss something blessed. Reese slipped the amulet into her pocket, got out of bed, and walked out to find the doctor.

Once she confirmed Annie was out of danger and would only need a few days of observation before going home, Reese finally let herself breathe easy.

“Ma’am.”

She heard someone call out just as she left the doctor’s office. Reese turned and was surprised to see Mr. Ratcliff’s assistant waiting for her.
