Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 454 A Shocking News

Melanie rushed to the desk.

"Chloe, what do you mean? What hospital? What did you do to her?"

Everyone turned to me.It seemed they genuinely believed I had harmed the old lady.I looked at Matthew.

"You'd better take these documents and consult at the hospital."

I dug through the papers for the doctor's card and handed it to Matthew.

"This is the attending physician, a specialist. If you have any questions, you can ask him. Your mother was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer."

The news shocked everyone as a collective gasp filled the room.

"What did you say?"

Matthew stood up in disbelief.

"What? Who... Liver cancer?"

"Chloe, you're creating trouble out of nothing. She was perfectly fine, and here you are, cursing her."

Melanie was relentlessly shouting at me.

Then she turned to Matthew.

"You believe whatever she says? She's up to no good!"

Matthew regarded me with suspicion.

"Relieve it or not, I've already taken her to see the doctor and got her prescribed medication.I just brought her home and have not told her about the diagnosis. Now, I'm handing all this over to you. You're her son.It's up to you to decide. I'm leaving now."

I turned to leave, not wanting to stay for another minute.

However, I soon found out that it wouldn't be so easy.

"Stop right there, Chloe! Who do you think you are, taking her to the hospital? Must you use the old lady to stir up trouble?"

Melanie was shouting aggressively.

"That doesn't mean you can waltz back into the Murphy family"

Keegan was looking at Melanie. his lips curled in malicious delight and insatiable greed.

I glanced at Melanie indifferently.

"You're overthinking it."

"Stop pretending and know your place! You've been kicked Out, yet you still agt so high and mighty.What right do you have to take her to the hospital without permission?"

Her words were harsh, but I couldn't be bothered to argue.

What she said was true.

It wasn't appropriate for me to take Grace to the hospital when this idiot was involved.

Her attitude was nothing new.

"How did you find her? What's your real motive? You're divorced. So why are you still meddling in the Murphy family?"

Melanie stepped up to me, blocking my way.

"Chloe, you better explain yourself, or you won't be leaving here today!"

The people about to leave stopped in their tracks, turning back to look at the now-stunned Matthew.

This news appeared to have completely shaken him.

Johnson was in the crowd.

He hurried forward and pulled Melanie back.

"Ms.Melanie, calm down. Ms. Chloe is not that kind of person!"

Little did he know that his words would set Melanie off.

She spat, "Johnson, what the hell are you saying? How do you know she's not that kind of person? Did you sleep with her?"

There was a crisp, resounding smack.

My hand tingled as I burned with fury.

This time, I exerted force.

I didn't realize I could be so precise and swift.

Melanie let out a startled cry, covering her face with her hands and staring at me in horror. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"You wretched woman, how dare you hit me?"

She lunged at me, trying to scratch me.
