The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 285

“Grandma, if you’re hurting this badly, I don’t think Charlotte can help much. She didn’t even bring anything with her.” Anthony raised an eyebrow and squeezed Charlotte’s hand, a small smile playing at his lips. “We should probably call an ambulance.”

Call an ambulance...

Patricia and Anne exchanged a glance, both caught off guard. Had she overdone it?

Watching Anthony turn to leave with Charlotte, Patricia couldn’t hold back anymore. “It’s just a minor thing! Miss Healer can handle it, there’s no need for an ambulance.” She looked at Charlotte, her eyes pleading. “Miss Healer, I’m sorry to trouble you.”

Charlotte’s frown eased and a soft, relaxed smile appeared. “No problem.”

“Wait.” Anthony still hadn’t let go of her hand. He turned his head and spoke gently. “Anne, can you get Charlotte a shawl?”

“Of course.” Anne grinned and hurried off.

Patricia glared at Anthony, annoyed. She grumbled to herself. As soon as he got a girlfriend, he forgot about his grandma. She was “suffering” here and all Anthony cared about was Charlotte. Just like his dad.

But then, as she watched them holding hands, Patricia couldn’t help feeling happy. They really did look good together.

“Anthony, the shawl.”

He took it from Anne and gently draped it over Charlotte’s shoulders, then smoothed her hair, his voice full of care. “Is your stomach hurting a lot?”

Charlotte’s cheeks flushed. She tried to act calm. “It’s not so bad.”

Anthony gave a soft smile. “We’ll go home soon.”

Anthony finally let go of her hand, but he looked like he didn’t want to. Patricia huffed, her patience running out. “Anthony, your grandma’s in agony right now.” She shot him a look. “I’m just borrowing her for a second, I’m not going to eat her. You can let go already.”
