The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 187

When Marie saw the laboratory report, she was stunned. She grabbed the nurse and asked again,

“What did

you say? Noel has type-A blood?”

The nurse shook her off impatiently and said, “Yes! I’m busy transferring the blood bank over! Don’t Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

make

things worse!”

Marie sat on the chair outside the emergency room, deep in thought. She remembered that Mason had

type-B

blood and Mia had type-0 blood. If their children didn’t have type-B, then logically they should have

type-O blood. She couldn’t comprehend why Noel had type-A blood.

It was impossible for the hospital to get the wrong blood type, so there was only one possibility. Noel

was not Mason’s son at all, which was why this happened.

Looking at the conflicted expression on Marie’s face as she held the laboratory report, Luca asked,

“What’s

wrong, Marie?”

Coming back to her senses, Marie said, “Go and find out what type of blood Olive and Carly have.”

“Huh?” Luca was taken aback.

“Whether it’s bribing the doctor or hacking into the computer system, help me check the blood type of

the two

of them,” Marie said.

Luca nodded and went to do it immediately.

Marie recalled that she had seen Mia sneaking into the hotel before, and last time she said she would

go to

Bordeaux to see Carly but didn’t go at all, perhaps she went to meet her lover.

If Mia had a lover and these children were all born with him, does that mean Mason was being

deceived all this while? Had he been raising children that belonged to other men for all these years?

Marie pondered. If

this is true, why bother with it? Mason will kick her out himself!

Marie was thinking about it. Dennis had also asked Cullen to check on Mia before, but it seemed that

he

didn’t find anything. It was time to investigate it thoroughly this time.

Suddenly, her phone rang. Edward called her and said in an urgent voice, “Marie, bad news! Old Mr.

Pierce has

fainted!”

Feeling anxious, she asked, “Grandpa fainted? Where is he now?”

-“He was taken to Dr. Hart’s place by ambulance!” Edward said.

After hanging up the phone, Marie was ready to go to Gavin’s hospital. However, Noel was lying in the

emergency room, so she had no choice but to call Olive.

Olive picked up the phone and said sourly, “Marie, why are you calling me?”

“Noel had a car accident. He’s in the emergency room of Primary Medical. Please come over,” Marie

said straightforwardly.

“What? Noel had a car accident? What did you do to my brother again, you vicious woman?” Olive

scolded her

on the phone.

Upon hearing that tone, Marie realized that Olive still cared about Noel. There was no need for her to

meddle further. She hung up the phone and called Luca to take her to Gavin’s hospital.

Marie rushed over in a hurry. Asher was in the emergency room, while Edward and Jolie were

guarding

outside the door. She ran over and asked, “What’s going on? Why did Grandpa faint?”

“I was taking a walk with Old Mr. Spence when he suddenly asked me to pour him coffee, so I went to

do so.

When I came back, he had already fainted on the ground. It’s all my fault. If I had stayed by Old Mr.

Spence’s side the whole time, he wouldn’t have fainted.” Inundated with guilt, Edward bowed his head.

Having been

with Asher for most of his life, he blamed himself greatly.

Marie comforted, “Edward, don’t say that. Grandpa will be fine.”

After waiting outside for two hours, the lights in the emergency room finally went out. Gavin came out

and

took off his mask. He looked at Marie and sighed, saying, “Come with me to the office.”

Looking at Gavin’s expression, Marie was worried. She instructed Edward and Jolie to take care of

Asher in

the ward. Then, she followed Gavin to the office. As soon as she entered, she immediately asked,

“What’s

wrong? Is there something wrong with Grandpa?”

Gavin washed his hands and said, “This is a sudden brain hemorrhage. Although the operation was

successful, I can’t guarantee how long he will last.”

Stunned, Marie asked, “What brain hemorrhage? What are you talking about? Grandpa was doing fine

a while

ago!”

Gavin sighed and said, “Old Mr. Spence is getting old, so he will naturally have more and more

problems. This time, the rescue was done in time, so there is nothing serious. But if there is a next

time, it won’t be so easy.”

Anxiously, Marie asked, “Is there any other alternative? What medication does he need? What type of

surgery?”

Gavin shook his head. “He’s getting old, and he can’t undergo surgery easily. Just take good care of

him and

make him feel at ease. Don’t let him be sad and angry. Don’t get emotional too much. There should still

be a few years left.”

Frowning, Marie nodded. As soon as she walked out of Gavin’s office, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Marie’s mind was buzzing. She couldn’t comprehend how Asher had seemed perfectly fine and full of

energy yesterday, yet now he was lying in the emergency room.

Besides, Gavin was implying that Asher was running out of time.

Yeah, it feels like the days are dragging on. It has been over three years since I became Marie. Three

years is a significant amount of time for an elderly person to age and weaken. Why did I believe that

Grandpa would always be there for me and only thought about getting revenge? Marie contemplated.

It was the first time she had experienced that heartbreaking feeling. Her grandfather was stubborn,

bad tempered, and had schemed against others for the interests of Spence Group, but he still gave

her

familial affection.

He was her only family member. He was her cute and helpless grandfather.

It took Marie a lot of effort to wipe her tears, but as soon as she entered the ward, she saw Asher on

the

hospital bed with an oxygen mask. The old man’s thin appearance made her feel like crying, and her

tears fell

again.

As soon as she cried, Edward panicked and asked, “Marie, is Old Mr. Spence not good? What’s

wrong?”

Marie pulled Edward and Jolie out of the ward and told them what Gavin had said. She told them to

take

good care of Asher and not to let Mia and the others come over and disturb him anymore.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mia came and screamed when she saw Marie. “You bitch! You

caused my

son’s car accident, and now Dad is in the hospital. You’re a jinx!”

Edward immediately walked over to stop Mia and whispered, “Mrs. Spence, don’t disturb Old Mr.

Spence. The

doctor said that he needs to rest.”

“Rest? As long as this little bitch leaves us alone, the Spence family will be fine!” Mia pointed at Marie

and

cursed.

Wiping the tears off her face, Marie said, “Luca, throw her out.”

Luca immediately nodded and walked over to drag Mia out. Mia stumbled and almost fell down. She

screamed, “Marie! You are a bitch! Don’t try to take over Dad’s shares! Get out of the Spence family!”

At that moment, Marie was physically and mentally exhausted, and she didn’t have the mood to talk to

her at

all. She watched Luca pull Mia out of the hospital and walk into the ward to accompany Asher.

Dennis received the news at the annual corporate party and rushed over immediately. As soon as he

entered

the ward, he saw Marie’s small figure leaning over Asher’s bed. As if coaxing a child, she said,

“Grandpa,

wake up quickly. I miss you so much.”

Dennis walked over and bent down to hug Marie, saying, “Marie, it’s time for you to rest.”

When Marie turned around and saw Dennis, she wiped her tears and said, “Why are you here?”

Dennis picked Marie up and placed her on the couch next to him, saying, “I came over after receiving

the

news that Old Mr. Spence was hospitalized. Why didn’t you tell me about such a big incident?”

Marie lowered her head and said, “You’re holding an annual corporate party. I’m afraid I’ll disturb your

work.”

Dennis held her tightly in his arms, gently caressing her long hair as he whispered, “Your situation

takes

priority for now. I spoke with Gavin, and he told me that as long as we provide proper care for Old Mr.

Spence, things will work out.”

Marie nodded and said, “I hope so. He’s still clamoring all day to see me get married and have a

grandchild. How can he not get up?”

Dennis hugged Marie, and she nestled obediently in Dennis’ arms. In that moment, only Dennis’

embrace

could provide her with warmth and a sense of security.
