The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 103 He wondered, if he spilled all the dirt on Noella to the Schnabels, would they still welcher with open arms? He didn’t want to take things that far, but it was all that heartless girl’s own doing.

Vincent thought this as he let out a long sigh.

Just thinking about his own health made him restless! “Briony, did Ms. Schnabel mention when she might drop by?” “Ms. Schnabel is already on her way.” Upon hearing this, the Rosenbergs decided to camp out in the hospital room.

If Ms. Schnabel really had the connections, they would do anything to have her reach out to Dr. Schnabel too.

This was a matter of life and death! Two hours later, Yvonne strutted into Fortress Hospital, her chin up, dressed in a flouncy pink tulle dress.

It had been years since she'd set foot in such a rundown hospital. Typical of a bumpkin’s hometown; it was no wonder Noella reeked of provinciality, having grown up in such a dump.

Briony spotted Yvonne from afar and hurried over with a look of excitement.

“Ms. Schnabel, you've finally arrived.” “Where's Noella?” Briony pointed upstairs. “She went up there. Upstairs are the maternity and neurology wards. She must've gone to maternity.” Joy spread across Yvonne's face! Ulrich had arranged a full health screening for Noella when she first returned to the Schnabel family. It was impossible she had any brain issues.

Yvonne remained cautious. “Do you know if Noella is acquainted with someone who's not right in the head? The kind that needs surgery?” “Not at all. Noella always kept to herself; she didn’t have many friends.” This got Briony’s blood boiling.

Noella had always acted so superior, never giving Briony the tof day. In her younger years, Briony had tried to befriend her, but Noella wouldn't even look at her! Yvonne relaxed, a smug look spreading across her face. “Then it must be ssecret lover Noella’s keeping in the sticks, something she’s done to disgrace the Schnabel family. Why else would she cto this trashy hospital?” Chapter 103 Fortress Hospital was the best Linefort City had to offer, but to Yvonne, it was nothing but trash.

“Exactly, Ms. Schnabel. My dad's also admitted here. When he heard you were coming, he wanted to meet you, too.” Yvonne rolled her eyes, clearly puzzled. “Your dad? Meetfor what? Does he really think anyone can just see little ol* me? That's hilarious.” Briony’s face turned beet red from Yvonne's scolding! Yvonne didn’t want to go, but then she remembered Briony’s dad was Noella’s foster father.

“Lead the way, I'll take a look.” Worried Yvonne might change her mind, Briony quickly guided her straight to Vincent's hospital room.

As they reached the door, Yvonne almost couldn't squeeze through because of her large dress.

“What kind of podunk place has such tiny doors? So petty!” Vincent craned his neck anxiously, waiting for Yvonne, his eyes practically bulging with anticipation! With a push from Briony, Yvonne and her exaggerated gown finally made it through.

“Ms. Schnabel, any idea when you might be able to get a hold of Dr. Schnabel for me? My health just can’t wait!” Yvonne frowned, “What are you talking about? Why should | contact my brother for you?” Hearing this, Linsey rushed forward. “Ms. Schnabel, our family is willing to pay top dollar if you can get Dr.

Schnabel to treat my husband!” Vincent glared venomously at the Rosenbergs. “This is our guest you're talking about, what's it got to do with you? Ms. Schnabel, you have to help!” Yvonne looked skeptically at Vincent, who lay on the hospital bed.

This guy was Noella’s foster father? He looked like a greedy, cowardly sort! Thinking about Noella growing up with such a man filled Yvonne with a sense of superiority.

She couldn't fathom what that country bumpkin thought she had to compete with her.

“I'll call Ulrich, but | can’t guarantee he’ll agree. Not everyone is worthy of his attention.” Yvonne whipped out her phone and dialed Ulrich’s number.

“Ulrich, there's a patient here who wants to see you. Can you spare a moment?” Ulrich, feeling drained after a long surgery and not in the mood to chat, was about to decline when he overheard someone near Yvonne speaking.

Chapter 153 “Dad, | swear | saw Noella heading upstairs. There's only maternity and neurology up there, and | didn’t recognize the man with her.” Ulrich caught the key words and perked up.

Why would Noella be at a hospital? If she felt unwell, she should go to Imperial West Hospital or tell him to chto check her out.

Could it be something she didn’t want to tell the family? Although he had arranged for Noella’s full health check-up initially, Ulrich couldn't overlook any potential illness.

Noella was so sensible. What if she was silently suffering without telling anyone? That was unacceptable! “Sendthe address, I'll be right there.” Delighted by his response, Yvonne sent the address immediately.

When Ulrich saw it was in Linefort City, his concern for Noella grew. He grabbed his car keys and made a beeline for Fortress Hospital! Yvonne pocketed her phone, looking disdainfully at the two people in the hospital bed. “Ulrich is on the way, and whether he’d be inclined to treat you is no longer my concern.” Vincent and Zachary couldn’t contain their joy upon hearing that Ulrich was actually willing to come. Usually, they couldn't even catch a glimpse of him, let alone convince him to treat their ailments! Yvonne basked briefly in their flattery but soon grew impatient. “Where's Noella? Lead the way; I need to see her!” 1 “Ms. Schnabel, follow me.” Briony was also itching to see Noella’s faux pas.

Linsey was frantically signaling Milford, hinting that he should secure Briony’s favor. This girl had somehow managed to summon Ms. Schnabel, and she might cin handy later.

Although the Rosenbergs didn’t think much of this daughter-in-law, using her for the tbeing was acceptable.

Milford gazed at Briony with a look of deep affection. “Briony, the hospital isn’t going anywhere, and neither can our guest. Let Ms. Schnabel find her own way; | have something | want to share with you.” Blushing under his intense, loving stare, Briony’s face turned a shade rosier.

With an eye roll and a scoff, Yvonne left the room.

Milford was transparent to her; she could see right through him, and it was only Briony who treasured him like a gem.

Yvonne couldn’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment thinking about how this man was once LA 11:40 Chapter 103 Noella’s fiancé.

Why didn’t Noella marry him before returning to the Schnabel family? Yvonne hastened upstairs, and after a quick tour of the maternity ward with no sign of Noella, she couldn't help but wonder if the country girl was truly out of her mind. Undeterred, she continued up the staircase. As she reached the next floor, Yvonne spotted a familiar figure outside the OR! What was Palmer doing here? And in a lab coat, no less? Yvonne could hardly catch her breath! Even in a lab coat, Palmer was stunning, the kind of handsthat stopped you in your tracks.

“Palmy, what brings you here? | heard from Professor Calvin that you have a knack for medicine; are you considering a career in healthcare?” Anxiety fluttered in Yvonne's chest.

If Palmer indeed pursued medicine, it could alter his position as the heir to the Pollack family, and he would no longer be her prchoice.

But faced with his charming presence, Yvonne felt any compromise was worth it! 4
