138 Chapter 14 Ken was about to say something more , but Marceline had already hung up . Feeling a little guilty , he exchanged a glance with Curtis through the rearview mirror and awkwardly put down his phone . Curtis let out a cold chuckle , his eyes full of mockery . " Who told you to call her ? She's probably hoping I'll die sooner , so she can quickly be with the person she actually likes . " Ken silently tightened his grip on the steering wheel , not daring to speak . In his mind , he was still deciding if he should drive back to Cloudcrest Bay or head to the hospital Curtis stared at the car ceiling , the dim interior lightning combined with intermittent flashes from outside highlighting the self- disgust deep in his eyes . After a long while , he finally said , " Take me back to Cloudcrest Bay . " " But Mr. Wolfe , your hand- " " It's fine . " So , Ken had no choice but to drive home . Curtis had barely been home for ten minutes when a call came from Wolfe Manor . He was urged to go over because Beatrice had taken a fall while out on her evening walk and was now in the hospital . Curtis didn't dare waste a second and rushed over immediately . The Wolfe family owned several high - end hospitals , so whenever someone from the family was injured , they would always go to one of them After having received a similar call , Marceline also hurriedly changed and rushed to the hospital . As soon as she stepped out of the car , she saw Curtis and halted briefly . Then , she pretended not to notice him and quickly ran into the hospital . Curtis watched her retreating figure . It was as if she was fleeing from some contagious disease , and that inexplicably irritated him . Soon , Marceline arrived outside Beatrice's ward . The old lady looked somewhat pale , but she still greeted the family members gathered at her bedside " I'm fine . I was just a bit careless going down the stairs . You can all go home now . " Diana Moore , Curtis ' mother , was currently holding her hand . " Beatrice , you shouldn't go out walking at night anymore . You nearly scared us all to death . " But Beatrice merely waved her off and looked toward the door . When she saw Marceline , her eyes lit up . " Marcy , what are you doing here ? You've only just recovered . Who called you ? " Marceline wasn't accustomed to appearing before the Wolfe family , especially when several family members were present in the room . Not to mention , what did Beatrice mean ? Hadn't she arranged for someone to call her ? When Diana saw Marceline , her expression immediately darkened . Meanwhile , others looked on with amusement . After all , everyone knew Diana didn't like Marceline . Back then , it was supposed to be Curtis and Jenna's engagement party until Marceline pulled that stunt , which left Curtis with no choice but to marry her instead . For the past few years , Marceline had obediently stayed at Cloudcrest Bay and rarely stepped out . Aside from a few times when Beatrice sumpioned her , no one ever took the initiative to reach out to her . She had been married to Curtis for three years , yet she had only met Diana a handful of times . Plus , each time , her mother - in - law never bothered to hide her disapproval . Diana stood up and sharply said , " Beatrice , you should rest up and stop meeting such questionable people . " Beatrice knew full well Diana was indirectly insulting Marceline She grew so angry that she clutched at her chest . " All of you , get out ! only want Marcy to stay and take care of me . " So , the others had no choice but to leave the room . Marceline stood aside and waited until everyone had left before slowly approaching Beatrice . " Mrs. Wolfe Senior , are you all right ? How did you suddenly fall ? " Beatrice grabbed her hand and sighed . " It's so late now - I hope I didn't disturb your rest It was already 1:00 am , so Beatrice wondered if Marceline had driven herself here or taken a taxi . " You didn't , " Marceline replied . " Marcy , you didn't return to Cloudcrest Bay tonight . Where are you staying ? You don't have a place outside . Are you staying in a hotel ? Is that even safe ? " Marceline opened her mouth to reply , but for a moment , she didn't know what to say .
