Chapter 635

Sunlight streamed through the car window, illuminating Fiona Grandelle's delicate profile.

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear hesitantly. "Vivian, how is... the Queen doing lately?"

Vivian Laurent's fingers tightened slightly on the steering wheel.

"Your mother is well." Fiona's voice remained calm. "The baby is healthy too."

Emily Garnache turned in surprise. "Fiona, you already knew?"

Fiona nodded.

"I'll always be her daughter." She gazed at the passing scenery outside. "She's sacrificed so much for me all these years. I'm genuinely happy she's getting what she wished for."

Vivian exhaled quietly in relief.

She'd been worried this news might hurt Fiona.

"And you?" Vivian asked softly. "How have you been feeling?"

She was really inquiring about Killer's condition.

"I'm perfectly fine." Fiona flashed a bright smile.

It seemed she still remained unaware of Killer's existence. Vivian sighed inwardly.

The hospital entrance was crowded with food delivery bikes.

Medical staff clustered around mountains of takeout containers, murmuring in astonishment.

"Who sent all this?"

"I heard it's for Dr. Laurent."

Vivian pushed through the crowd. "These are thank-you gifts for Dr. Fairsprene."

"Dr. Fairsprene?" The staff exchanged confused glances.

Ryan Fairsprene emerged from the ER, startled by the commotion.

"Dr. Laurent, what's all this—"

Fiona peeked out from behind Vivian. "Dr. Fairsprene!"

Though wearing a mask, her luminous eyes made Ryan recognize her instantly.

"Fiona? What brings you here?"

"I missed you." Fiona whispered.

Vivian nudged Ryan. "Let's talk in my office. I'll handle this."

An elderly woman stopped them in the hallway with a knowing smile.

"Dr. Fairsprene, is this your girlfriend? She's lovely."

Fiona's ears turned scarlet.

"Aunt Wang, she's my patient." Ryan explained helplessly.

"A patient, you say..." The woman chuckled meaningfully. "Well, don't let me keep you."

As her footsteps faded away, Fiona kept her head down, her heart pounding wildly.
