Chapter 248 Has Avery Ever Wronged You?
Mr Moore felt humiliated and embarrassed by Dr Forbes’ words. He went to the cashier to settle the medical bills. Two nurses wheeled Sage to the ward immediately afterward.
Mr Moore went to his daughter’s ward and said, “Our granddaughter has been admitted to the hospital, she has a fever.” He then told his wife Sage’s ward number and said, “Please go and keep our granddaughter company.”
Mrs Moore looked at her husband puzzled and asked, “Why didn’t you move her to the Taylor family’s private ward?” Her husband became upset and replied, “You have no shame, Valery. Didn’t the Taylor family sever ties with Sage?”
Mrs Moore was fuming with anger, then she took her phone. She dialed Mrs Taylor’s number and said, “Hello Caroline, Sage has been admitted to the hospital because of a fever.
Please move her to the Taylor family’s private ward.” She didn’t give her time to respond. She immediately hung up the phone.
When Xavier and his wife walked into the living room, they found their mother holding a phone with a puzzled look. Avery took her mother-in-law’s arm and asked, “What happened, Mom?”
Her mother-in-law snapped back to her senses and replied, “I just received a call from Mrs Moore ordering me to move Sage to the Taylor family’s private ward. She indicated that Sage had a fever.
Early in the morning, she called me and told me that her daughter had been involved in a car accident. She asked me to tell the hospital that they don’t have to pay the medical bills, but I ignored her.”
Xavier told her mother that Chase had already notified him about Sage’s sickness. Avery looked at her mother-in-law and said, “I will go to her ward to check on her. I think the fever was triggered by her aunt’s beatings.”
Xavier hugged his wife and said, “Sweetheart, please don’t go near Sage. She is blaming you for everything that happened to her life. She will harm you.” Avery nodded her head, and then Avery prepared breakfast.
When she arrived at the hospital, she found Chase standing by her office door. He smiled brightly at her and said, “Good morning sister-in-law, are you well?” Avery smiled and replied, “Good morning, Chase, I am well. How is Sage?”
Chase told her that Sage’s fever was under 39℃ and that he would check on her before he left. He looked at her and said, “Sister-in-law, do you mind checking on Sage’s injury? I think her fever was caused by her beating.”
Avery smiled and replied, “I will ask Dr Bester to check on her. I don’t want to be harmed by Sage.” Chase laughed out loud and replied, “Come on, sister-in-law, Sage is just a child. She will never harm you.”
Avery opened her office door, then she entered with Chase in tow. Avery smiled at Chase and replied, “Sage loves her maternal family a lot, and she believes everything they are telling her.
She allowed herself to be beaten up by her beloved aunt even though she had not fully recovered to frame me. She hates me, Chase.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Chase laughed and replied, “Sister-in-law, hate is a strong word. Sage will be asking for forgiveness. Please don’t stoop to the Moore family level.”
Avery smiled and replied, “My husband forbade me to go near Sage. Should something happen to me, will you take responsibility?”
Chase smiled and said, “Xavier is paranoid, nothing will happen to you. I will check on Sage at 10 am. Please meet me in Sage’s ward.” Then he walked out of Avery’s office.
Avery took her phone and dialed a number. When it was connected, she said, “Good morning, Kiki. How are you doing? Did Executive Secretary Knight call you?”
Kiki Daniels smiled and replied, “Good morning, Mrs Taylor. I am well. Thank you. Executive Secretary Knight called me last night and told me that I had been reinstated. Thank you so much for your help, Mrs Taylor. I will never forget your kindness.”
Avery was happy to hear that and said, “I am happy for you, Kiki. Please send me your mother’s details and the name of the public hospital. I will transfer your mother to the Taylor Private Hospital, and I will pay for her medical expenses.”
Kiki was so happy that she cried and said, “I don’t have enough words to thank you, Mrs Taylor. May the Lord richly bless you and answer all your silent prayers.”
Avery smiled and said, “Thank you, Kiki. I will send your mother’s private ward number later. I trust the Lord that He will heal your mother.” She bade goodbye to her, then they hung up.
Kiki cried for a long time, then she wiped her tears and sent her mother’s details to Mrs Taylor. A few minutes later, she went to the bus stop to take a bus to work. She vowed that she would work hard and make her mother and Mrs Taylor proud.
At 10 am, Chase walked into Sage’s office and pressed the record button on his phone. He wanted to prove to his best friend that Sage was harmless. She was manipulated by the Moore family.
Chase smiled brightly and asked, “How are you feeling, Sage?” Then he checked her body temperature. He was happy to see that her temperature was 37℃.
Sage looked at Chase and replied, “Uncle Chase, I wouldn’t be here if Daddy didn’t marry that evil woman. I hate her with passion. I wish Aunt Valeria had asked me to kill her instead of beating me up. She will be in the morgue now.”
Chase was so shocked he didn’t come back to his senses for a long time. He looked at Sage and said, “What did you say?”
Sage became excited and replied, “Uncle Chase, Daddy married a witch and I hate her. She took Aunt Valeria’s position. She was supposed to be married to my Dad, but that evil woman snatched Daddy from her.”
Chase was dumbfounded and said, “Sage, do you know that Avery canceled her special leave to operate on you? Is that how you thanked her?”
Sage laughed out loud and replied, “She was doing her job. Didn’t my father marry her after she saved me? Do you expect me to kneel and worship her? I will stab her in her heart should I get a chance.”
Chase looked at Sage in a different light. Where did the hatred come from? Avery was a sweet young lady, and he was sure that she had never ill-treated her stepdaughter.
Chase wanted to spank Sage but restrained himself and asked, “Has Avery ever wronged you?”
