Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553

Aveline found it laughable; if Gloria was really in trouble, or if Josephine genuinely cared about her grandmother, she would’ve rushed out to call a doctor, not had the presence of mind to put on a show for her.

The show was probably for Xavier.

Aveline shot him a look.

Xavier was confused and said, “If you want to leave, we’ll leave.”

But Gloria kept wailing and complaining, “Aveline, come here, Aveline! My life is so miserable! I raised my granddaughter, and now that she’s all grown up, she doesn’t care about me anymore. I’m lying in a hospital bed, and she treats me like I’m dead, won’t even spare me a glance.”

Gloria’s voice was quite loud, perhaps intentionally, so passing medical staff, patients, and their relatives all looked over.

Jacob cursed angrily, “You damn brat, your grandma’s calling you, get over here.”

A nurse walked over and asked, “What’s going on here?

Please keep it down, you’re disturbing the other patients.”

Xavier said coldly, “Go get the doctor. Have this old woman thoroughly examined to see if she’s actually sick.”

The nurse froze, momentarily unsure how to interpret the word “sick.”

Aveline let out a dry laugh and walked in. “Fine, Grandma. I’ll listen and see if your whole family put on this act just to make me come all this way, or if you’re up to something else.”

As she spoke, she walked to the bedside, ignoring everyone else, and looked at Gloria with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

Xavier quickly followed her, standing by her side with a slightly cold expression, also looking at Gloria.

Seeing Aveline’s unsmiling smile, Gloria felt as if her thoughts had been seen through. Then, meeting Xavier’s cold face, she grew even more flustered and uneasy.

Chapter 553

So she couldn’t help but look toward Courtney.

Courtney cursed the old woman in her mind for being useless and stupid, she had explained everything clearly at home, but now she didn’t know how to act.

Looking at me like that, is she afraid Aveline and Xavier won’t suspect I put her up to this?

However, Aveline didn’t need Gloria to glance at Courtney, she already knew this act couldn’t have been planned by Gloria alone. Courtney had to be the one who orchestrated it.

Courtney just had to use the baby in her belly as a trump card, and Gloría, desperate for a grandchild, would have no choice but to listen to her.

A mocking smile touched Aveline’s lips.

Courtney found it jarring and said, “Mom, didn’t you say you had a bellyful of things to say to Aveline?”

“She’s right in front of you, so hurry up and say it. Otherwise, she’ll think you’re fine and leave again.”

As she said this, Courtney stared at Gloria.

Gloria knew Courtney was warning and threatening her, but she suddenly couldn’t remember what she was supposed to say to Aveline.

“Oh, my head is spinning. I can’t remember what I was going to say to her.”

Aveline said flatly, “Then get some rest. When you remember, give me a call and tell me.

After she finished, Aveline turned to leave, but Gloria quickly reached out and grabbed her, “Don’t go. You’re not leaving.”

Eileen quickly handed over a glass of water, “Grandma, drink some water first.”

“Aveline, let Grandma catch her breath. The doctor said she might have had a minor brain bleed, so she might not remember what she wanted to say. Don’t upset her, just let her calm down.”
