The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage romance Capítulo 299

"What?" Winter froze—she was just friends with Frank, not his sister!

For Janet's part, she did not say much as she studied Winter.

"Hmm. You do have the looks," she said, nodding. "Anyway, you and your family should step out for a moment. Chief King and I will be examining your mother."

They all nodded repeatedly—the chief of the hospital was right there, after all!

Once they were out, Winter promptly snapped at Fred, "I told you that you shouldn't have chased Frank away. What are you going to say the next time you see him?"

Fred appeared embarrassed and felt a little guilty, but the way Frank threw shade at Marian still left him seething.

"So what?" he retorted stubbornly. "Do you think we can't survive without him? You should stop seeing him too—the way I see it, he just wants your body."

He knew that much was true—Frank was as rich as he was influential. Why else would Frank be nice to their family if not for Winter?

It was not to mention that they both came here together!

"What…" Winter was speechless, convinced that her brother was measuring Frank's generosity by his own petty standards.

Just then, Marian had an idea and asked, "Does that man even have a job?"

"We don't know, but he does have friends in high places." Fred snorted.

"No, he's very rich too," Marian quickly said. "When he came to my dealership, he bought two Maybachs—one for himself, and the other for Janet Zimmer."

At those words, Fred wheeled on Winter right then. "You hear that? That man is just lavishing any pretty face he comes across with luxury. Don't you dare accept anything he gives."

Winter quickly tightened her collar.

Seeing Fred's attitude, there was even less reason for her to show the thirty million dollar necklace Frank just gave her.

Carol nodded as she looked around. "I'm fine… Where am I?"

It was obviously not her house.

"This is Riverton City Hospital's special care ward," Fred quickly said.

"What?" Carol exclaimed, and quickly tried to get up. "What are we doing here? It costs a fortune to stay here. Let's go home right away…"

Winter promptly pressed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Mom. Mr. Lawrence arranged this ward for you without spending a dime."

Carol did a double take and quickly asked, "You mean, Frank Lawrence? The man at our snackbar before?"

Fred hated Frank but nodded exasperatedly. "That's the one."

"W-Why would he go so far for us?" Carol murmured, perplexed.
