Chapter 372 The Encounter of Ian and Annie, Hedy's Death Date?
After hearing the story of Rosalie and William. Iledy's dark pupils shimmered.
"So. Ms. Ellis, can you understand my feelings?" Tears welled up in Rosalie's eyes.
"I understand." Hedy nodded, her voice cold and soft, "But I, too, desperately need you to recognize Anne and her daughter."
"How much is needed?" Rosalie asked.
"It's a matter of my brother's life," Hedy told truthfully.
Rosalie's eyes were complex. A moment later, she exhaled, "Then take me to William Castle."
Although she didn't understand why her recognition with her daughter would be related to the life of Hedy's brother, she believed that Hedy wouldn't lie to her.
"No need to go to William Castle, I'll figure out a way to get Anne out so you two can meet alone." Iledy gave Rosalie a reassuring look.
"All I needed was for you and your mother to recognize each other. I didn't need you to return to the Williams family. If you could convince Anne to keep this a secret for you, I thought, there should be no risk."
Rosalie was uneasy, "Annie is still young, what if she accidentally exposes me..."
At that moment, Preston walked in from outside, exchanged a glance with Hedy, and then promised to Rosalie:
"If you were accidentally exposed, the King family would provide you with protection. If William wanted to take you away, it would depend on whether my King family agreed or not."
Of course, he wished for his good friend to be happy.
However, what William did to Rosalie was indeed too much.
"This... let's just forget about it..." Rosalie hurriedly said, "If we do this, William will definitely take a harsh revenge on the King family!"
Hedy also turned to look at Preston, hesitating a bit, wanting to try other methods.
Hypnotizing Anne was an option, but for Anne, this was even more cruel.
ITedy became conflicted.
The clever mind thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a suitable solution.
"Stop thinking, dummy." Preston chuckled lightly, "You just keep moving forward, leave the rest to me."
He would hold up a sky for her, allowing her to do as she pleased.
ITedy arched her willow-like eyebrows, her eyes curving slightly as she nodded, "Mm- hmm."
Under Preston's assurance, Rosalie agreed to Hedy's proposal.
It was late, Hedy and Preston descended the stairs side by side, planning to go home and discuss how to bring Annic to Rosalie behind William's back.
On the way home, Hedy turned to Preston and asked, "How did you come to the hospital?"
"TII pick you up and take you home. I'm not comfortable with you being out there alone for too long," Preston's voice was low.
The corners of Hedy's lips lifted, but she didn't respond.
The weather was turning cold, yet she felt increasingly warm.

In another ward, Gloria glanced at Annie, who was asleep on the neighboring small bed. Her brows furrowed, she felt extremely unlucky.
She really disliked this mute-like Annie.
Annie had caused her a lot of embarrassment.
She had invited Annie to attend a high society banquet, but the ladies there ignored Annie completely, casting glances of amusement and thinking that she was a complete failure as a mother.
"After I kill your father, don't think you'll have it easy!" Gloria bitterly said in her heart.
She took out her phone and texted the Sky God organization: "So many days have passed, why haven't you killed Hedy yet!"
Head of the Celestial Organization: "The target individual is difficult to deal with, as
you know. Please be patient and wait for the right opportunity."
Gloria's face contorted in frustration as she aggressively typed on her phone, "Iow much longer do I have to wait?"
Leader: "Wait until the target shows a weakness."
Gloria was about to reply when her phone started to vibrate.
The caller ID's display name sent a flash of panic through Gloria's eyes.
She instinctively sat up straight, answered the phone, and said cautiously, "Good evening, Grandma."
The call was from William's grandmother.
Grandma was called Mel, a plain name, but she was a formidable female officer who commanded respect from all three armies in France. She still held a significant position in the military, with a distinguished record of service.
Mel once looked down on "Rosalie", the granddaughter-in-law who had once betrayed the William family.
But in the years after Rosalie left, the distraught state of her grandson William forced her to make concessions and accept this daughter-in-law from USA who came from a thief's background.
However, allowing Rosalie to be with William was already her greatest tenderness. She had never shown a good face to "Rosalie".
Therefore, Gloria, who was pretending to be Rosalie, was also very afraid of Mel.
"How's the child in your belly?" Mel's voice was as hard as ever, lacking the gentleness of a typical woman.
A while ago, William informed her that "Rosalie" was pregnant again, and she was
very happy.
Because until then, William only had one child, Anne.
But Anne had severe autism and was unable to inherit the family estate, necessitating
a new heir.
"Kid, child..." Gloria stammered, terrified.
Seeing this, Mel asked impatiently, "Can't you even utter a complete sentence? I asked you about the child!"
At that moment, Mel did not know that Gloria had miscarried. William, fearing she
would be upset, concealed the news.
Gloria was terrified to death, while at the same time, thinking rapidly.
Soon, a sinister plan emerged in her mind, she sobbed, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I failed to protect the child of the William family!"
Since the killer was useless, she might as well find someone else to "help".
Mel's breath hitched, and after a moment, he barked angrily, "What's going on?!"
Gloria sniffled, feeling wronged, "A woman pushed me down the stairs and caused me to miscarry. I'm still lying in the hospital, while that woman is at large, living
carefree."
This time, Mel remained silent for even longer.
Gloria tentatively asked, "Grandma?"
Mel's voice carried a hint of sorrow, mixed with more resentment, "I will return to Isabella tomorrow to deal with this matter, you rest well first."
"IImm!" A triumphant curve hooked up at the corner of Gloria's lips.
She hung up the phone, looking at Mel's name in the contact list, her smile wild:
"Mel held a high position and was notoriously ruthless, Hedy, your time of death has
come!"

The next day
Upon learning that Anne was with Gloria at the hospital, Hedy went to the hospital.
She planned to pretend to be a nurse, using the excuse that Gloria was weak and had a lowered immune system after her miscarriage, and that the accompanying child must undergo "physical examination and disinfection" to prevent Gloria from getting sick, to take away and meet with Annie and Rosalie.
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Jan "took care" of Rosalie after she finished her breakfast, and came downstairs to
play with the small leather ball.
It just so happened that Anne was also downstairs.
"Do you want to play together?" Ian asked enthusiastically.
Anne hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
She felt that this older brother was also so kind.
The twins, unaware of each other's identities, ended up playing together and had a
great time. "Annie! Grandma is coming soon, why are you running around again?" Gloria came over menacingly, grabbing Annie's arm and about to walk back.
Anne shook her head in rejection, stepping back, trying to break free from Gloria's
control.
Gloria was furious. She looked up and saw no one around, only lan, an ignorant
child. So, through the clothes, she fiercely pinched Annie.
"Mom asked you to go back, didn't you hear?"
Anne opened her mouth wide in pain.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Iley, why did you pinch her?" Tan intervened as he walked over.
"Get lost!" Gloria shoved Jan to the ground with one push, dragging Annie upstairs, occasionally giving her a pinch or two to vent her own displeasure.
