How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 111

Yara had always been fat, and pregnancy had only added to her weight.

But Morwenna dragged her away with one hand while the other clamped over Yara's mouth to muffle her protests.

Morwenna moved so swiftly that Norbert didn't see what she was doing.

At the doorway, Morwenna warned, "Listen, Yara, if you keep riling up Norbert, I won't hesitate to lay my hands on you."

Yara was incredulous. "You wouldn't dare!"

Morwenna's eyes hardened. "If anything happens to Norbert, there's nothing I wouldn't dare."

To Morwenna, Norbert was her last ally, the only family left.

She had been too young to change anything when Melvin passed away.

But at the time, if anyone dared to hurt Norbert, she was ready to risk it all.

Yara was shocked by the resolve in Morwenna's eyes.

Ignoring Yara, Morwenna turned and returned to the hospital room, saying to Phineas and Sabrina, "Phineas, Sabrina, you should head home and rest. I'll stay and wait on Norbert."

Everyone had seen how Morwenna had dragged Yara out.

Yara's daughters didn't even have time to make a move.

Then, they chose not to confront Morwenna, especially since Norbert had asked her to stay. The group quietly left.

Phineas' elder son glanced at Morwenna several times before leaving.

Morwenna firmly shut the hospital room door behind her.

It was just Norbert and Morwenna.

Her expression softened. "Norbert, how are you feeling?"

"Much better, Wenna. Don't worry. Where's Stuart?"

Morwenna's expression stiffened. How could she explain that Stuart hadn’t rushed over, that he might be with Adelaide?

Norbert had never liked Adelaide, and knowing that could upset him more.

As Morwenna was struggling with how to respond, the door to the room burst open.

Stuart strode in, looking like he had hurried back, his tone weary. "Hey, Grandpa, how are you holding up? Not dead yet, I hope?"

Norbert replied dryly, "No, not dead yet. I’m still here to keep the Hetfield family going for a couple more years."

"If you're alright, I'll be going."

"Hold it! Even if I don't croak today, my days are pretty much numbered. Stay in the hospital tonight. I need to talk to you."

Stuart frowned. "I'm busy. Can't whatever it is wait until you're out?"

Norbert scoffed, "What, are you too busy to spend one night in the hospital with your dying grandfather?"
