Chapter 628


    Chapter 628 Did ire Discover Something


    A strong scent of disinfectant surrounded the white hospital bed.


    Laying groggily on the bed, ire felt almost as if she was floating in the air.


    She felt a burning pain in her throat, and it was a sensation that resembled fire ring from within or


    ants gnawing on it.


    In her daze, she wanted to touch her neck with her hand, but a piercing pain shot through the back of


    her hand the moment she moved her arm.


    As she let out a soft moan, she felt a soft, warm hand holding onto hers.


    ire opened his eyes, only to see Avery sitting by her bed, looking at her with a face full of concern.


    “Mrs. Lambert, are you all right?”


    Seeing ire regain her consciousness, Avery heaved a sigh of relief. She handed her the ss of


    warm water on the bedside. “Does your throat hurt a lot and feel awful? You should drink some water to


    soothe it. The doctor said that you only suffered a superficial injury on your neck, and it''ll be fine after a


    few days of rest. You don''t need to worry too much. I''ll call the doctor over to check on you now.”


    After her words fell, she pressed the bell for the doctor toe over for a check-up.


    ire stared at Avery for some time before vaguely recalling what had happened earlier.


    She was kidnapped at the fashion show and sustained a neck injury. It was who Avery cleverly


    coordinated with her bodyguard while negotiating with the thug to save her life.


    “Where''s Nickie?” ire swept her gaze around the ward but did not see Nicole around.


    She tried to get up from the bed.


    Avery thoughtfully ced a cushion behind her.


    Seemingly figuring out what was on ire''s mind, Avery exined, “Ms. Lambert got a call and just


    stepped out. She''ll be back shortly. Mr. Lambert has gone on a business trip but is rushing back after


    learning you got into an ident...”


    “Thank you for today.” ire felt so weak all over, and her voice was extremely hoarse.


    Avery fed ire a few sips of water and helped tuck her nket. “Mrs. Lambert, your neck injury has


    somewhat affected your vocal cords. Try not to talk so much during this period,” she softly said.


    Seeing the hesitant look on ire''s face, Avery figured out what she wanted to ask.


    And so, she revealed everything. “I heard that the thug who hurt you is a fake heir with a criminal


    record. He''s already been taken away by the police, and I''m sure he''ll be charged...”


    Only then did ire feel at ease. She wanted to ask Avery something else, but the chief physician


    coincidentally came over to check on her. Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    The physician was a sophisticated middle-aged man, and he was wearing a pair of mature-looking,


    square-framed sses.


    Upon seeing him, Avery greeted him with a smile, “Hello..”


    The chief physician nodded at her as a form of polite response. Without saying much, he proceeded to


    examine ire.


    After the examination, he warmly exined, “Mrs. Lambert, your injury isn''t too serious. You can be


    discharged from the hospital today. Avoid letting your wound get in contact with water for the next few


    days. Also, your symptoms of anemia are quite severe. Remember to work on your nutrition and take


    good care of your body...”


    After saying that, he nced at Avery and approvingly remarked, “Your daughter is really caring and


    dutiful. Even with her big belly, she still doesn''t mind doing so much for you. Daughters are every


    mother''s thoughtful sweetheart for sure.”


    Avery awkwardly looked at ire and hastily rified, “You''ve misunderstood, I... I''m not Mrs.


    Lambert''s daughter. Her daughter has stepped out to deal with some matters.”


    The chief physician raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Really? But you two do look quite alike.”


    Then, he patiently reminded ire of a few more precautions before leaving the ward with the


    apanying nurse.


    A strange look crossed ire''s face. It was not the first time someonemented on how Avery


    resembled her. Even though she had her doubts, she had never given it much thought. Yet, she could


    not take her eyes off Avery that very day, to the point thetter felt a little uneasy.


    “Mrs. Lambert, what are you looking at?” Avery touched her face and asked with difficulty.


    Could it be that she has discovered something?


    ire''s hoarse voice rang out as she grabbed Avery''s hand. “Avery, I really don''t know what to say.


    You''re Nickie''s love rival, and your existence is an obstacle to her happiness, but somehow I can''t bring


    myself to dislike you. I wonder if it''s because we look alike or because we share a simr demeanor. I


    always feel like I''m looking at the younger me every time I see you... If you didn''t confront the thug so


    bravely today, I''ve no idea what would''ve happened to me. My dear, I don''t know how to say nice


    things, but if you ever run into problems in the future, I''ll surely do my best to help you. Stop calling me


    Mrs. Lambert; that''s too formal. Just call me ire.”


    Avery shed a gentle smile. “There''s no need to be so polite with me, ire. That''s what I should


    do...”


    The two were engaged in a heartfelt conversation when the ward door was suddenly flung open.


    Nicole walked in with several food boxes in her hand.


    At the sight of Avery and ire holding hands, she was both astonished and terrified. Rage coursed


    through her veins and skyrocketed.


    “Mom!” Nicole called out as she mmed the food boxes on the table aside.


    She rudely pulled ire''s hand from Avery''s grip and amiably said, “I''ve brought you some food from


    Decem Restaurant. Their dishes are particrly delicious. I waited for over thirty minutes to get you


    some.”


    ire''s hand was already sore from the IV drip, and now it hurt even more from Nicole''s brute move.


    She furrowed her brows and didn''t say much else.


    “Ms. Lambert, ire is currently on an IV drip. Please be more gentle,” Avery reminded.


    Nicole had always harbored resentment toward Avery. Now that she heard those words, she couldn''t


    help but take a dig at thetter. “Ms. Rumpley, you''re unrted to my mother. Don''t you think you''re


    overly concerned about her? I''m aware that my mother is on an IV drip. As her daughter, I definitely


    feel worse than anyone else...”


    Avery was rendered speechless.


    Sure enough, she was merely an outsider and had no right toment that much. However, she


    couldn''t stand Nicole''s behavior.


    Unable to hold back, ire chided, “Nickie, it''s all thanks to Ms. Rumpley that I managed to escape


    unscathed today. She''s my guest. How can you be so rude?”


    Nicole pouted woefully after being reprimanded by ire. After a short pause, she cast a meaningful


    nce at Avery.


    Then, she smugly opened the lids of the food boxes. “Mom, I''ve brought you lots of delicious dishes.


    Eat while it''s still hot.”


    Seeing the food that Nicole brought along, Avery was bereft of words.


    Spicy beef stew, barbecue pork, honey-zedmb... None of these dishes are suitable for a patient!
