The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 1042

"Ahem!" Francine had entered the room and witnessed the scene before her, and her face was black as thunder. Behind her was the caretaker that she had personally picked out for Stefan.

Seraphina was mad that the happy atmosphere had been interrupted, so she was about to give the intruder a piece of her mind. However, when she angrily turned around, she was pinned by Francine's sharp gaze.

She jerked away from Stefan immediately and stammered, "A-Aunt Francine, why are you here?"

She had been feeling guilty ever since she and Jovan had secretly bribed the neurosurgeon to give Stefan that brain surgery. She'd also been feeling paranoid and suspicious of everyone.

"My son is in a hospital bed, and you ask me, his mother, why I'm here?" Francine demanded, her voice tight with anger. She didn't like how Seraphina had been going about this, so she started lecturing her. "You certainly have your ways, don't you? You hid the fact that my son was injured for a whole week. Do you know that I was going crazy looking for him?"

Even though Stefan looked alright, Francine was still worried about him. Seeing her son in bandages made her heart ache.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Francine, I was so shaken up that I didn't think about that. I was afraid that you'd worry, so I-"

"Don't give me excuses, unless… Is this guilt? Were you the reason why Stef ended up like this?" Francine asked suddenly, staring at Seraphina suspiciously.

"I didn't, I…" Seraphina had no idea how to explain, and it made her look even more suspicious.

Stefan furrowed his brows then said seriously, "Mom, if you're here to visit me, then just visit me. Why are you getting mad at Seraphina?"
