Chapter 157

To avoid being noticed by Madeline’s staff on the way to the hospital, Suzette had purposely

maintained a good distance away from them. She had waited a few moments after they got off before

leaving her own vehicle. The hospital was eerily silent as she walked in, unlike the typical scenes of

doctors and nurses running around tending to emergencies.

If Suzette guessed correctly, Madeline must have been warded in the VIP rooms, where each room

was equipped with the latest amenities and emergency equipment. She knew a little about this hospital

and its wealthy clientele, having been one of its patrons before the Grants fell down the rungs of

society. Angie frequented this place very often for her thousand-dollar facials when she and Noah were

still an item, Suzette recalled sorely.

The bitterness quickly turned into hatred, and the hatred turned into physical anger as Suzette stormed

the hallways of the hospital. Everything that the wench had today was meant to be Angie’s! After

sneaking into a few rooms, she realized locating Madeline was proving to be more difficult than she

had imagined without any help. She found a junior nurse making her rounds and asked her for

directions to Madeline’s room. To her surprise, the nurse obliged without much questioning or

resistance, probably thinking Suzette was a senior nurse.

As Suzette approached Madeline’s ward, she took a peep from outside the door. The patient was

covered in tubes and gauze from head to toe and breathing using a respirator. It did not look good, she

concluded as she went into the room and took a closer look at the patient. Suzette could not help but

chuckle to herself as she took in the sorry state that Madeline was in.

“Ha ha ha, Madeline! How unlucky of you to have ended up like this!” Suzette let out a full-bellied

laugh, almost losing her balance from laughing too hard. Steadying herself with the medical equipment

beside her, her flustered expression quickly recovered. “You look too pitiful in this state, darling! Why

don’t you let me send you on your way instead? Think of it as building good karma for your next life.

Hopefully you won’t become an illegitimate child desperately wanting me as your mother again! How

gross!” Suzette had her hands on the respirator’s plug as she spoke.

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled the plug out of its socket. As she watched the patient

struggling to breathe, desperate for air, Suzette felt a sense of euphoric joy take over her. “Madeline, I

bet you don’t know, Old Mr. Quincy died exactly the same way you’re dying now. He struggled and

struggled until he was out of breath, ha ha ha!” Suzette cackled out loud as she did a little dance

around the room with the plug still in her hand. She was satisfied as she noticed the body had stopped

moving and turned around to leave the room.

“So, you played a part in Grandpa’s death too! I underestimated you, Suzette Grant!” Madeline’s voice

was murderous as she walked into the room, backing Suzette into a corner.

“What are you talking about? Old Mr. Quincy’s death was your fault! Don’t try to pin it on me, you black-

hearted witch!” Suzette tried to save herself after being exposed.

“I’m sure you know the truth better than I do. It’s alright even if you don’t admit it, since Angie will bear

the brunt of it anyway…” Madeline taunted.

“What do you mean? What did you do to Angie?!” Suzette demanded an answer as her eyes widened

with fear. Did Noah already know the truth about Angie? Was that why he insisted he would not take

any other wife apart from Madeline? What was going to happen to Angie then? Did Madeline do

something to her daughter? A million thoughts raced through Suzette’s mind.

“Angie admitted herself that she was the one who caused Grandpa’s death. I should have guessed it

was her clever mother who helped her hide the truth all these years, but it’s time’s up for you now, my

beloved stepmother!” Madeline announced gravely.

“You crazy bitch! What are you saying? You won’t even acknowledge your own mother anymore?”

Suzette wailed out loud, pretending not to understand a word.

In truth, she was shaking with fear. Did Angie really admit to murdering Old Mr. Quincy? How was that

possible? That would make them enemies for life with the Quincys! When did Madeline Grant realize

she was not her real mother? She barely sounded surprised when she brought it up just now. Suzette

had too many unanswered questions, but right now she could only berate Madeline unreasonably to

avert the topic.

“Andy, did you get the surveillance footage clearly? Make the police report. Attempted murder on a

hospital patient is a serious crime!” Madeline called out for her assistant as she looked at a bewildered

Suzette. She let out a cold chuckle, laughing at Suzette and herself simultaneously. She could not

believe what a fool she had been all those years ago chasing after Suzette, desperately wanting her

care and affection as a mother. Even when Suzette had abandoned her without a penny, she still

believed Suzette had her reasons. Young Madeline was so naïve!

“Yes, Boss! This room is equipped with world-class surveillance equipment. Ms. Grant’s face was

captured on camera extremely clearly. There’s no way she could deny the attempted murder charge!”

Andy said as he waved in a few security guards who quickly surrounded Suzette.

“Madeline, I’m still your mother. You can’t treat me like this! How could you convict me of murder?!”

Suzette yelled frantically. As the security guards grabbed hold of her hands, she finally began to

believe that this was not a dream. Madeline Grant had set her up and sentenced her to her own death.

“Suzette, I’ve known you were not my mother for a very long time now. You don’t deserve to be my

mother anyway,” Madeline revealed as she took a few steps forward and came face to face with

Suzette. “As for Grandpa’s murder, even though I don’t have proof of you as an accomplice yet, I’ll

never stop looking. You’d best pray you’ll be spending the rest of your life in prison, because I’ll be the

first to come after you if you ever step foot out of prison.”

Goosebumps pricked Suzette’s skin as she realized the gravity of her situation. As the security guards

escorted her out of the hospital, her wails could be heard throughout the hallway, much to Madeline’s

chagrin.

“Andy, this was all thanks to your alertness. You noticed Suzette the moment she stepped foot in the

hospital,” Madeline said gratefully. She did not dare imagine what would have happened if Andy did not

notice Suzette. Truthfully, she did not think Suzette had it in her to murder someone in a hospital.

“Ha ha,” Andy chuckled. “Apart from our state-of-the-art medical equipment, we also invest in state-of-

the-art security systems!” Andy joked, trying to lighten the mood. He was just glad to be able to help

and protect Madeline.

“Thank you for everything,” Madeline repeated herself once more, her expression full of gratitude.

“No worries at all, Boss!” Andy replied, a little shy from all the attention.

“Could you help me inform Noah that the accomplice who murdered Grandpa has been arrested and

sent to the police station? Let him deal with it as he sees fit,” Madeline said.
