Chapter 77
Over at the Lagersfield City Hospital, Julia brought her family to the VIP ward. At the door of the ward, they were stopped by two men in black suits.
“Who are you?” one of the men asked coldly.
Julia frowned in displeasure. “What is this? I’ve never been questioned when I’m just here to visit a patient.
The bodyguard just stared at her impassively. “No one is allowed to enter without Mr. Laurier’s permission.”
Julia was furious. Loid again! Lily had only just moved into Anmer Heightes for a few days, and she already had Loid wrapped around her little finger. He had even sent bodyguards to protect Belinda!
This was infuriating!
“Look, lad, just let us in. The patient is one of our relatives. We’re just here to visit him. Loid is my grandson–in–law. I’ll talk to him later,” Julia said without showing her displeasure.
“No.” The bodyguard’s tone was as cold as ever. His expression didn’t even change.
Julia narrowed her eyes. She pulled out a wad of cash from her wallet and gave it to the bodyguard. “We’ll just go in for a few minutes. You can just turn the other way. I’m sure Loid won’t reprimand you.”
The bodyguard pushed Julia away. Stumbling a little, she almost fell to the ground, saved only by Susan’s quick reflexes.
The bodyguard’s expression did not even change. “Leave now, before I throw you out.”
Hearing this, Susan got angry. She snapped, “Watch your mouth! Listen here. I’m Lily Brooks‘ mother. If you make me angry, I’ll tell her to fire all of you!”
The bodyguard ignored her.
“You!” Furious, Susan jabbed her finger at the bodyguard. She wanted to curse him out, but she still had a reputation to uphold, so her words were stuck in her throat.
Julia pulled Susan away. “That’s enough. They’re clearly not going to let us in,” said Julia.
“So we’re just going to leave?” Susan asked unwillingly.
She’d spent the last few years enjoying a life of luxury, but ever since Lily appeared in her life, her image as an elegant upper–class lady seemed to disintegrate before her eyes.
Even now, bodyguards were treating her like a nobody. She didn’t want to leave. At the very least, she wanted to teach the bodyguards a lesson for disrespecting her.
“Leave?” Julia snorted coldly. “Have you forgotten why we’re here today?”
Susan’s expression twisted. “But we can’t go in!”
“Are you dumb?” Julia was really starting to dislike Susan. If it were not for Shannon, she would’ve kicked her out of the Martinez family years ago. “There are other ways to get into that ward. You’re still Belinda’s ex–daughter–in–law and Lily’s mother. She won’t refuse a visit from you.”
Susan understood what she needed to do at once.
She went closer to the door. “Mom, I’m here to see you I’m sorry for what I did in the past. I’m here to apologize. Please let me in!”
