CHAPTER 100: CHAPTER 100: AFTER REGISTERING THE MARRIAGE, I’LL RELEASE YOUR BROTHER

"Not at all?" The senior steward questioned in doubt, without saying more to June Winter.

After hanging up the phone, she dwelled on this matter, sensing something off with June Winter’s tone earlier.

This situation definitely has something fishy.

Kybourne Hospital

An ambulance rushed Luna to Kybourne Hospital’s entrance, and medical staff lifted Luna onto a stretcher headed for the third-floor VIP ward elevator.

The medical staff surrounding the stretcher, with their blonde hair and blue eyes under white coats, drew much attention.

Especially Flora, whose elegance and intelligence were accompanied by an attractive face and model-like stature.

Even the loose white coat couldn’t conceal his overall aura.

The group’s grand presence sparked widespread discussion.

"There’s a child on the stretcher!"

"With so many staff, it must be a serious illness!"

"Why aren’t her parents around? Why is she only surrounded by people in white coats?"

Annelise Winter stood in the third-floor hospital corridor, witnessed the scene downstairs through the transparent barrier.

She instantly recognized Flora; his blonde hair and blue eyes were remarkably conspicuous in the crowd.

Annelise’s mind buzzed as she intentionally glanced at the little figure on the stretcher, her own daughter Luna.

Why did Flora bring Luna abroad?

And in the Warner-owned Kybourne Hospital.

This is truly too dangerous.

Thinking of Luna being caught by Renee Perry, the consequence upon identity exposure terrified her so much that her hand holding the phone trembled.

She hastily called Flora.

Flora answered only upon exiting the elevator.

"Flora, please find a quiet place, it’s inconvenient to talk here!"

Annelise did not want her conversation with Flora to be overheard by others.

Flora immediately went to a nearby smoking room.

"Miss Winter..."

Flora didn’t have a chance to explain to Annelise.

Annelise, overwhelmed and trembling, asked, "Flora, what exactly is happening? Are you and Luna currently in the country? And in Kybourne Hospital?"

"Miss Winter, I meant to tell you this, but Mr. Chase Perry advised against informing you. Luna, having missed you for so long, coupled with meeting Mr. Warner in Breslin and yearning for her parents made this harmfully affect her emotions, even impacting her health. We had no choice but to bring her back when unable to reach you!"

Flora anticipated Annelise’s reprimand.

"Flora, but it’s truly dangerous domestically. Could I ask you to keep my identity as Luna’s biological mother a secret, could you?"

Annelise covered her mouth, her inner turmoil akin to a stormy sea. Luna, who has been in her thoughts daily, now lay less than a hundred meters away, yearning to hold her tightly.

But she couldn’t.

Renee Perry’s spies were everywhere; she couldn’t rashly approach Luna.

"Miss Winter, when can you come to Kybourne Hospital? Since we have brought Luna back, isn’t it time you come and see your child? She misses you every day!"

Flora was emotionally charged, for Luna being able to meet the longing-for mother at last.

Even having her mother accompany her continuously.

"Sorry, Flora, I can’t break free from my situation here. I’ll find a way to come by. Please take good care of Luna for me."

Annelise choked, her trembling voice trying to hide any anomaly from Flora.

"Doctor Flora, I’ve already arranged for all payments related to Luna’s ward, which will auto-renew. No need for concern, and for your team’s lodging and meals expenses will be reimbursed. You may stay for Luna’s treatment without worry!"

Elias Warner?

Annelise was startled, immediately hanging up.

Clearly, Luna’s return to the country is greatly tied to Elias Warner as well.

No, Elias Warner must not come in contact with Luna.

Discovered by Renee Perry, the consequences are unthinkable.

What to do, what to do?

Annelise bit her lip, squatted down, driven to anxiety with sweat beading on her forehead.

For five years she’s kept Luna hidden, only she knows the care and vigilance in each day’s past.

She won’t allow mistakes.

"Knock knock" interrupted Annelise’s thoughts with the sound of door knocks.

"Annelise, I advise you to obediently comply. Today get the marriage certificate with Wayne Young, afterward you two will be lawful spouses. As soon as you obtain the marriage certificate, I’ll agree to send your brother back to school."

Renee Perry’s voice came from outside the door.

Annelise in panic rose quickly, trembling to open the door.

Her sole wish was for Renee Perry not to pay attention to Luna.

At this moment Luna was likely on the third floor.

"Ms. Perry, I promise you, I promise you, I’ll agree to whatever you say!"

Annelise wiped away the tears from her eyes, chokingly replied.

Renee Perry didn’t notice anything unusual, thinking merely it’s Annelise’s unwillingness to marry Wayne Young strongly affects her emotions.

"Glad you understand, today is the day to get the certificate, the car is arranged already, afterward you’ll reside in the Young Family, never returning to The Whitlock Estate, likewise not being seen again in Elias’s villa!"

Renee Perry snorted coldly, tossing a dossier towards Annelise.

Inside were all materials she needed to get the marriage certificate with Wayne Young.

"You should go to Wayne Young’s ward later, help him to the underground parking, I’ve arranged someone waiting there!"

"I understand!" Annelise merely wished Renee Perry would depart quickly, avoid meeting Luna.

Hence she agreed promptly.

Renee Perry detected the fear on Annelise’s face, apparent that Annelise’s confinement in the hospital these days truly taught her compliance.

That works, saves her trouble.

Originally, other means were planned to deal with Annelise.

Renee Perry left.

Watching Renee Perry’s departing figure, Annelise collapsed on the floor.

Uncle Zane followed suit: "Miss Winter, let’s go!"

Broken-spiritedly, Annelise rose back to Wayne Young’s room.

Wayne Young’s illness healed completely, albeit his legs still somewhat unresponsive.

He wore a black suit and bow tie today, though his wrinkled face and attire mismatched terribly.

Hunched over, he stood at the door staring at Annelise.

Ever since meeting Annelise, countless fantasies of marrying her fluttered through his mind.

This woman is utterly enchanting.

Now, though unable physically, he knows of ways to accommodate Annelise.

The thought excites him irresistibly.

Before, he hesitated due to legal concerns about pursuing Annelise; yet once lawful, no restraints bother him anymore.

Wayne Young’s squinted eyes eagerly anticipated.
