Chapter 753
The next morning, Hayden was told to pack his stuff while Nicole made her way to the hospital to take care of
Betty's discharge. When she arrived at the hospital, Betty was lying in bed with her eyes closed, her hands clamping
the blanket tightly.
Seeing that strange sight, she quickly stepped forward to find out what was wrong. She quickly had a bad feeling
and sounded the bell to call for a doctor. At the sight of Betty's pained look, she asked, "What happened to her? She
seemed fine yesterday."
After a quick examination, the doctor was able to identify the cause of Betty's condition. "Relax, Miss. The patient is
only experiencing some discomfort because she took the wrong medication."
She took the wrong medication? The doctor's words made Nicole's blood boil as she shook from head to toe.
Glaring at the doctor with her bloodshot eyes, she started to raise her voice and questioned the hospital's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmanagement. "What?! Did you just say she took the wrong medication? How could something like that happen in
your hospital? Isn't the medicine prepared beforehand?"
In the meantime, the doctor also couldn't help but find it strange despite being pressured by Nicole's aggressive
attitude. Medicine for mentally impaired patients like Betty was usually prepared with the right dosage beforehand.
Thus, there was no way she could have ended up taking the wrong medication.
On the other hand, Nicole only closed her eyes in exhaustion when she noticed the doctor's silence. After taking a
few seconds to calm herself down, she quickly realized someone must have been behind the matter. She sighed
and was forced to put her emotions aside, asking, "Will she suffer from any side effects?"
The doctor looked at Betty and replied moments later, "She will have to go through gastric lavage now as the
medicine hasn't been fully digested. She should be fine once we get rid of the medicine within her body."
Nicole nodded in response, whereupon the doctor wheeled Betty on her bed away. When Betty was on her way to
receive her treatment, she appeared to come around for a bit. At the same time, she wouldn't stop calling out
Nicole's nickname. "Nicole. Nicole…"
"I'm here, Ms. Betty." Nicole quickly walked closer to Betty and kept her eyes on the miserable lady.
While Betty could barely keep her eyes open, she used all her breath to say something the moment she saw
Nicole's face. "Nicole, it was Madeline who did you wrong. She was the one…"
Nicole was bewildered when she heard Betty's revelation. After all, Madeline never treated her badly even when
they were broke and she was cast out by the Anderson Family. For that, it never crossed Nicole's mind that her
mother did her wrong at all. Nonetheless, she went on to comfort Betty, saying, "It's okay, Ms. Betty. My mother
treated me well. She didn't do me anything wrong."
In that instant, Betty's eyes seemed crystal clear as something seemed to dawn on her. "Nicole, you and William
are not related…"
Nicole's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and her eyes were glued to Betty's face. However, just when
she was about to ask why Betty would say that, Betty passed out. Even after Betty was taken into the operating
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmroom, Nicole was left standing in place absent-mindedly, still wondering what Betty was trying to imply.
She said that William and I are not related. At the thought of that, another idea quickly crossed her mind. Did
Mother cheat on William with another man? Nevertheless, she immediately dismissed that thought; she was
convinced that Madeline was deeply in love with William, remembering her mother's last moments in which she
didn't stop calling out William's name until she took her last breath, but no matter how she assured herself, she was
still not able to dispel the doubts about what she had just heard.
Despite feeling puzzled, Nicole didn't dwell on that but instead went on to review the hospital's security footage.
When she checked out the security footage of the corridor, she saw two nurses and a doctor on duty right outside
Betty's ward.
However, neither of them entered Betty's ward, and nor did Betty leave her room. In that instant, she became
suspicious of the two nurses, whom she reckoned she should confront, but when she did that, she realized one of
them was missing.
Isn't this obvious enough? Someone must have bribed the janitor to swap Betty's medicine. At the thought of that,
the first suspects that came to Nicole's mind were Lydia and her daughter. I guess I know why they'd do this. Since
Betty was aware of the affiliation they had with Madeline's death, Nicole believed that became their motive to
silence Betty in an attempt to cover their tracks.
