Chapter 48 - Mother And Daughter

Sera let out a long sigh as she walked away from the VIP room. She wanted to reach the elevator as fast as possible and leave this place. But the moment she turned towards the corner that would have led her to the elevator, she heard a shrill voice that immediately made her want to find a place to hide.

It was none other than Zhang Xin.

Her complicated emotion about what she and the old man talked about was still inside her and now she has to see Zhang Xin and Zhang Ying!

"Why can't you let us in?" Zhang Xin's voice echoed inside the whole aisle. She wondered if the guard that stopped them are going to let them in or not. After deliberating for a few seconds, she walked towards the toilet, without even caring that the sign said, male.

The VIP floor is actually on the topmost floor of the building. Aside from the fact that it was expensive and not many could afford to have their patient stay in this room, most of the rooms are actually reserved for people with big names.

For instance, the room that Old Man Zhang occupied was only for him. No one else could occupy the room, even if Old Man Zhang is not here. There is also a room for the mayor and his wife and even the Governor and his family.

Aside from this, the security on this floor was also top notch. Anyone without any appointments or is not related to the patient cannot come in. Even doctors and nurses who serve this area signed a different type of NDA form and are thoroughly checked before being allowed to come and go on this floor.

This was just a part of the VIP services that they offered.

"But that is my grandfather!" Zhang Ying's voice followed. "I came to bring some fruits and — "

"Young Miss, please. The master isn't accepting any visitors. He is weak and cannot talk to anyone else."

Sera listened as she leaned her ears against the toilet door. Even the toilet in this building looked like a hotel's too. It had two cubicles and an enormous mirror with golden frames that covered the entire wall next to the sink.

Looking at her appearance from the mirror, Sera couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

Who would have thought that she would one day eavesdrop and even get inside the toilet for men just to avoid some people? Speaking of eavesdropping, Sera turned on the recorder in her backpack as she continued to listen to them.

"Mother! What are we going to do now? Are you sure Sera is back?"

Sera's ears twitched when she heard Zhang Xin mentioned her name.

"They said it looked like her. I tried to ask my people to find any CCTV from the mall to confirm that she was there but there were some problems on that day. The cameras were not working. They said, she was accompanying a man, and she was pregnant, or at least that's what the staff who helped them out said."

"Pregnant?" Zhang Ying asked. "Then…"

"Yes, there is a possibility that it wasn't her. After all, they were choosing furniture. And Sera is not yet married. So, just relax. What I want you to do is beg your father so he would accompany you in visiting the old man."

"But mother…"

The two were actually standing outside of the toilet.

"That old man never liked me because I didn't come from a prominent family. This is why he was looking down on you. I told you, even if you are well-known and many people adore you, your grandfather would still look down on you." Zhang Xin let out a dramatic sigh. "This is all my fault. This is because of my family."

"Mother… you must not blame yourself. Please… stop crying…"

This two… Sera deadpanned when she heard the two start consoling each other. What are the odds that Zhang Xin would also manipulate her own daughter? Now that she thought about it, Sera used to fantasize about being Zhang Xin's daughter before.

She would think what would have happened if she was actually her daughter. For so long, she wanted to become this woman's daughter.

Who would have thought that a day like this — the day that she would thank the heavens for not making her Zhang Xin's daughter — would come? She felt shivers ran down her spine as he continued to listen to the two women outside.

"My apologies for reacting this way… It's just that I am unsure if your grandfather refusing to see us, has something to do with what my secretary told me about Sera being here."

"That's shouldn't be the case. Grandfather didn't like her, right? He didn't even keep in contact or even tried to send her money to help her."

"Yingying, please stop being so naive. I believe that the old man still cared about her. And he did all those things, ignore her, and acted as if she no longer exists because he didn't want us to bully her."

"Bully her? She was the one who bullied me!"

"Shhh... I know… I know… Come, I will take you to the bathroom, do not ruin your make-up. What would your fans say if you walk out of this hospital looking like a witch?"

She heard the two women's footsteps falter away.

Sera immediately let out a sigh of relief. Another reason why she chose to hide in the men's toilet is that she feared that those two would go inside the women's toilet. Honestly, just the thought of talking to those two is already draining her energy.

Another sigh left her lips.

"What's with that sigh?"

Without thinking, Sera suddenly let go of a punch towards the source of the voice. Her adrenaline was still pumping, and she wasn't able to recognize the voice behind her. "Mr. Quinn?" she froze when he avoided her punch by holding her fist.

"It's not Mr. Quinn…" he smiled. "It's husband."

She could only cringe inwardly.
