Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

"Where the heck is security?! Stop them-"

In the midst of the chaos, Maisie dropped all pretenses, yanking at her voice to shout-

"Where's Beverley? Who's Beverley? I'm looking for Beverley, tell her to show her face!"

Maisie and her son Farley had arrived in Lumina City two days prior, immediately visiting Millie, who was still hospitalized, and then...

They decided to just stay in the hospital room.

Maisie scoffed, "Why waste money on a hotel? This hospital room is spacious and bright, and best of all, it's free!"

"But there's only one bed. You and Farley..."

"What's the big deal? Since when do a mother and son care about that?"

Farley, just done with lunch, picking his teeth, nodded in agreement, "Exactly! Mom and I often share a bed at home too. We only need to run one air conditioner, saves money." Despite the hospital staff's efforts to persuade them otherwise, Maisie and Farley made the hospital room their home.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

According to hospital regulations, VIP rooms came with extra beds for family members, so the hospital didn't make a fuss.

After all, the bill was being paid. Millie could stay as long as she wanted, let alone an extra bed for a family member.

After two days, Maisie had even gotten used to the smell of disinfectant, and was surprised not to see anyone from Millie's boyfriend's family come to visit. Not even a caretaker. "Pfft, think you can just ignore us and this will all go away? Think again!"

"Mom, what's the plan?" Farley, eager to jump into action, asked.

"If they won't come to us, fine, we'll go to them!"

That morning, Millie had spotted a photo of Beverley going out to a party on social media, recognizing the background as a hotel lounge they had once visited together. She immediately shared the hotel address with Maisie.

Without wasting a second, the duo headed straight there.

Beverley, who had been standing at a distance watching the commotion, was taken aback when she heard her name.

But when Maisie yelled a second time, she knew they were indeed calling for her.

A sinking feeling took over.

That's when a waiter, carrying a tray, called out from a distance-

"Mrs. Sherwood! Your drink is here. Mrs. Sherwood?"

Ignoring him, the waiter raised his voice.

Sherwood? Maisie paused. Wasn't Sherwood the last name of the man who got Millie pregnant? Quickly connecting the dots, she shouted towards Beverley's retreating figure, "Murray, is that you?" Sure enough, the mention of her son's name made Beverley turn around.

"Ah, there you are!" Maisie was ready for her!

Without hesitation, she pushed past the staff and charged at Beverley, grabbing her by the hair- "You bitch, trying to flee?!"

Beverley was dumbfounded, having never encountered such a scene.

Maisie spat out, "My daughter is in the hospital, fighting for her life, and here you are, living it up in a fam hotel? Dressed to the nines, but in reality, pah-"

Maisie spat directly at her.

Beverley was in shock.

"My daughter had a miscarriage, she's hospitalized, and you didn't even bother to visit. Have you no conscience?"
