Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 550: Knowing the Truth

Seeing that, Laura got nervous and started to massage Fannie’s back immediately.

"Mom, don’t get mad. He didn’t come to me, really."

After that, Laura stared at her in earnest, and Fannie finally believed her at the sight of the look in her

eye.

Then, Laura had a chat with her for a while. It was when Fannie felt tired that she helped her lie down

to have a rest.

Laura didn’t leave the room until Fannie was asleep.

After coming out, she went straight to the office of her mother’s attending doctor.

Derek was the best cardiologist in the whole hospital.

He was aware of who Laura was, so he paid much attention to Mrs. Davies’s condition.

Derek gave a gentle smile at the sight of Laura. "Hello. Take a seat."

Laura nodded with a frown.

"Derek, you called me and told me that my mom’s not doing well. What’s going on?"

Derek shook his hand, signaling her not to get worried now, took an ECG out of a folder aside and put it

in front of her.

Then he said with sincerity, "Your mother’s heart condition has always been a problem. It’s been years

and I believe you know her condition very well. Her heart is worn out. Now, what we’ve found out is, if

we can’t find a suitable heart for her in half a year, your mother may not make it."

Laura’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that.

She said at once, "Derek, I’ve always been looking for a suitable heart for her, but could you give me

some more time?"

Fannie had RH negative blood type, which was very rare, so it was even harder for Laura to find a

compatible heart for her.

Just because of this, Laura still couldn’t help to cure her mother, even though she was an A-list actress

now, who had no economic pressures and was able to cover all her mother’s medical expenses.

After all, many patients were waiting for the hearts, let alone the one of RH negative blood type, and it

was impossible for Laura to get one in half a year.

Derek naturally knew it. He let out a sigh and shook his head.

"All I can say is we’ll try our best, but we can’t guarantee anything. The most important thing is you

have to try your best too."

Hearing that, Laura knew Derek had done all he could and had no other choice, so she sat down in

disappointment and nodded.

"I see. Don’t worry. I’ll try to get one by all means. I hope you’ll take good care of my mom during this

time."

She paused and continued, "And also, I hope you won’t tell her about it, OK?"

Derek nodded. "Rest assured. I know what to do."

Now all messages were delivered.

Laura rose to her feet, said goodbye to Derek, and left.

Laura went straight back home after she left the hospital.

Sitting in her house, she found the whole apartment empty, and so was her heart.

She had taken her mother around to seek treatment all these years, but in the end, everything was in

vain?

Thinking of this, Laura took out her phone and called the heart supplier, but as expected, there were so

many people waiting. Even if she had signed up for her mother a few years ago, what was the chance

of her getting a heart of such a rare blood type?

Laura could only hang up helplessly.

Just at this point, her phone rang.

She tensed up at the sight of the caller ID.

But she still answered it after a moment.

She got her voice ready so that Fannie wouldn’t notice anything wrong, and said with a smile, "You’re

awake, mom."

Fannie had drifted into a light sleep, and her sleep was troubled.

When she woke up, Laura was nowhere to be found, so she called to check on her.

Laura clenched her fists and smiled gently, "You were asleep. Besides, something came up, so I left."

Fannie could guess Laura must have gone to attend to her work, so she called, just to make sure.

Hearing that, Fannie replied immediately, "Well, it’s all right. Get back to work then."

Laura said, "OK. Mom, take good care of yourself. I’ll come to see you again."

Fannie smiled, "I’m well. You take good care of yourself. Come to me anytime when you’re free."

Laura nodded and made small talk before she hung up.

On that night.

Max was still working in his office, while his assistant, Jim, walked in with a folder and put it on his

desk, poker-faced. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Mr. Nixon, about the thing you asked me to look into, we’ve already got an answer. This is the

information you want."

Max glanced at the stack of papers and waved at Jim. "Sure. Thank you."

Jim turned around and left.

It was silent in the office. When the job was done, Max straightened up, leaned back in his chair, and

rubbed his temples, his gaze falling upon that stack of papers.

He reached out and picked it up.

In the papers, everything Laura had gone through during the dozen years they had lived separately

was written down.

Including her mother’s heart condition, and how her foster father had hurt her and her mother.

The more Max read, the more livid he became.

If it weren’t for these papers, Max could hardly believe that Laura had actually had such a hard life all

these years.

He couldn’t take it anymore when reading the papers. His heart was throbbing, about to explode

anytime, and he dreaded to imagine experiencing it all himself.

He could barely imagine how Laura had pulled through in that harsh environment.

What right did that foster father of hers, who would do anything to get money, have to treat her with

such great cruelty?

His face sullen, Max had been silent for a long time. Then he called Jim and told him, "This is what

you’re going to do tomorrow…"

The next day…

Maria, Laura’s agent, called her, saying that she just got her a new TV series.

This was a costume mystery drama starred by pop stars.

The hero was a prince, played by the pop star of the new generation, Stephen Rogers, while the

heroine was an orphan who had survived the bloody massacre of her whole family years ago.

Since the massacre had left a deep impression on her as a child, she could never forget about it, and

tried to find out the truth when she grew up.

She had grown up secretly in the countryside. Later, she disguised herself as a man and sneaked into

the supreme court.

Having been through a few twists and turns, the heroine met the hero and fell in love with him. She

solved countless cases and became known as "Mrs. Justice".

With the help of the hero, she found out the truth, vindicated her wronged family, and avenged herself

on her enemies at last.
