Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"What happened to mom?" She asked anxiously.

She didn't like Ted, but that didn't affect her affection for Stacy.

Stacy had led a very miserable life. Hazel didn't want her to suffer anymore.

"I don't know why. She suddenly went crazy..." Ted said in a deep tone. "No one can make her quiet now, but she likes you. Can you come to accompany her?"

Hazel wanted to go, but she didn't think it was that simple.

She was sure that if she went to the manor now, it would be a question of whether she would be able to walk out of the manor alive and well because Ted hated her so much.

She did care about Stacy, but she would not be stupid enough to put herself in a trap until she confirmed what Ted said was true.

"Didn't you send for a doctor to see her?" Hazel asked. "I think doctors should be more professional than I am."

"How come I didn't send for a doctor," Ted sighed. "I took Stacy to the hospital. All the doctors couldn't calm her down, so they sedated her first. But they said it was because Stacy lacked a sense of security that made her react so badly and told me to ask someone she knew and trusted to accompany her."

Hazel understood his meaning. It looked like Ted had been driven into a corner, so he thought of her. In his opinion, she was perhaps only useful at such a time.

"Do you mean mom is at the hospital?" Hazel wanted to confirm it.

"Yes, if you'd like to come, please come to the hospital and spend some time with Stacy." There was a hint of reluctance in Ted's words.

Hazel's furrowed brows relaxed slightly. For now, at least Ted should be telling the truth, and he wouldn't use Stacy to tell a lie. Hazel was afraid Stacy really had an accident.

"I'll be right there." After thinking for a while, Hazel agreed.

Hanging up the phone, she headed to the hospital with her bodyguards.

Although she didn't think Ted would use Stacy as an excuse to cheat her, she should always bring some guards just in case.

When she arrived at the private hospital which Ted had told her about, Hazel, who was ready to walk into the hospital, found her eyelids were twitching and her heart was pounding.

"Wait." She thought for a moment before talking to the bodyguards. "A few of you stay here. If no one comes out in ten minutes to say I'm safe, you must rush in to save me."

The person she was going to meet was Ted. Anyway, it was right to be careful.

After that, Hazel still felt uneasy. She took out her phone and edited a text message about the address of the hospital. The addressee was Joshua. But she didn't send it. She couldn't confirm whether it was a trap, so she prepared it, just in case. If it were a trap, she would immediately send the text message to Joshua asking for help.

After getting ready, Hazel took a few guards to Stacy's ward.

Hazel saw several people guarding outside the ward, and the butler of the manor she had met before was waiting anxiously outside.

"Mrs. Denmark, you've arrived at long last!" Seeing her, the butler rushed up to her quickly, as if he had seen his family member.

"Just call me Miss Crowe." "Hazel said lightly, calmly avoiding the butler's approach.

She remembered that on the first day she came to the manor, the butler didn't like her very much. His sudden enthusiasm made her uncomfortable.

"Please forgive me. I wasn't sensible at that time..." The butler was embarrassed and apologized.

He sighed and said, "I only hope you will go and visit madam as soon as possible. There is something wrong with her."

"Mm." Hazel nodded and followed him to the door.

The butler pushed the door open, but suddenly he held out his hands to stop Hazel's bodyguards.

"What do you want?" Hazel stopped walking and watched him warily. Her finger had slipped to the message's send button.

"Don't get me wrong, Mrs. Denmark," the butler explained quickly. "Madam is not well now. If there are too many strangers, I'm afraid it will irritate her."

Hazel gave him a suspicious look. His explanation sounded perfect, but somehow, she felt there was something fishy.

"Who's in the ward?" she asked in a deep tone.

"Only madam, master, and a doctor are in there," replied the butler. "Madam is in a bad state, and the master dares not allow too many people to enter the ward."

Hazel didn't want to walk anymore.

"I'll bring two bodyguards in," she said lightly. "You may rest assured that they will not irritate the patient."

The butler looked a little hesitant. Suddenly, a woman's scream came out of the ward!

Hazel paled and hurried to push open the door!

Before she could make a sound, a cold pistol was directly pressed against her forehead. The door behind her was closed, and her bodyguards could not get in. Then there was a fight outside the door.

Hazel looked at everything in front of her as her eyes were slightly cold.

In this ward, there was a group of doctors on standby. Ted stood right in the middle of the doctors, and his men had surrounded her.

Hazel felt a surge of anger. As expected, she had overestimated Ted King. Ted was really unscrupulous! She had thought Stacy would be the softest existence in his heart, but now Ted used Stacy as bait to lure her out!

She moved her fingers slightly to send the message secretly.

"Miss Crowe," Ted spoke coldly. "I don't want to meet you like that, either. But I must figure something out."

"Oh?" She looked at him and asked in an indifferent manner, "Mr. King, what are you trying to figure out?"

"I just want to know if the baby in your belly is Joshua's." He cast a glance at Hazel's belly as there was a flash of disgust in his eyes.

"I want to know what if it isn't Joshua's?" She looked at him sarcastically.

"If it isn't Joshua's baby, Joshua won't want you even if I do nothing," he explained with rare patience. "If it is his baby indeed. The baby will be raised by the King family after birth. As for you who is a lewd woman, you won't be eligible to be its mother."

"How will you verify the baby in my belly isn't Joshua's?" she looked at him coldly. "You won't believe me even if I tell you the truth, will you?"

"Of course I won't believe you," he said, with a stern look on his face. "That's why I want to meet you at the hospital today."
