Chapter 739
Anne was slightly taken aback, and she thought it was rented.
It was also her first time on a yacht.
Only rich people could afford to be on yachts.
An ordinary person like her could not afford to be on one.
“Mama, hurry up and get on the boat with us. I want to play!” Charlie shouted
excitedly.
Anne smiled and was about to say ‘yes‘ when her phone rang.
She thought it was a call from work but the call was from Dr. Brown.
‘What’s wrong?‘
Was it good or bad news…
She stepped aside to answer. “Hello?”
“Ms. Vallois, your mother fell in the ward and suffered a head injury.”
“What?” Anne raised her heart.
“Do not worry. It’s been dealt with. It’s just a slight concussion, and she needs some
rest.”
“I’ll be there right away.” Anne hung up the phone and looked back at Anthony.
Looking at the triplets, she could not bear to tell them she was leaving because they
did not have many chances to come out to have fun together. She walked up to
Anthony and said in a low voice, “Why do not you take the children to play? I have
something to do, and I might not be able to go.”
“What’s the matter?” Anthony’s black eyes were cold.
“My mother fell in the ward and suffered a slight concussion. I have to go back and
have a look.” After Anne finished speaking, she looked at Anthony nervously for fear
that he would not agree.
She could go on the yacht if forced, but she would be very restless along the journey.

The bodyguards went to the yacht with the triplets in their arms.
“Come quickly, Papa and Mama!” Chloe was still calling.
Looking into Anthony’s eyes, Anne said, “You won’t let me return, right?”
“There are doctors and nurses there. What’s the use of you going?” Anthony wore a
mean expression
Anne knew she was a party pooper, but she did not want this to happen.
“But she’s my mother… You take the children and have fun, I’ll be here the next time,
okay?”
“Either stay with the children, or there won’t be a next time.” Anthony had a sullen
face.
Anne lowered her gaze. “Sorry, I’m going to go back…” She turned and left.
Anthony’s face was dark, and he grabbed her wrist and dragged her back.
“Ah!” Anne slammed into his strong chest, sensing his breath on her.
“I start to wonder if you care about your child. The last time you left your child to go
abroad, now you would just leave them behind. Will you leave them one day in the
future? Hmm?”
Anne tried to explain to him as calmly as possible, “My father is now in a vegetative
state. I do not know if he will wake up. If my mother has another accident, what am I
going to do? Anthony, I care about my children very much. I can leave the children
because you are here and will take care of them. My mother only has doctors and
nurses beside her. How can I turn a blind eye as her only daughter? If the three
children know about that, what will they think of me? I should set a good example for
them, should I not?”
Anthony’s expression was cold, and his eyes darkened. “That sounds nice.” He let go
of her. “I’ll have someone take you back, and I’ll see you here tomorrow.”
After finishing speaking, he turned and went to the yacht.
Anne was stunned. What did he mean? Was he going to wait here with the children?
Thinking that Anthony would make the proper arrangements, she went to the car.
Anthony’s bodyguard drove her back.
More than an hour later, Anne returned to the hospital.
After entering the ward, she saw Sarah lying on the bed.
It was normal for Dr. Brown to be here, but why were Dorothy and Bianca here?
Dorothy and Bianca secretly looked at each other. The plan had succeeded.
Anne walked to the bed. “Mom?”
Sarah had her eyes closed, and her forehead was wrapped with gauze.
“Do not worry. She has not woken up yet, and we have to wait a while longer,” Dr.
Brown said.
“What’s going on? Why did she fall? Was it because of fatigue?” Anne asked.
Dr. Brown hesitated for a moment, then looked at Dorothy.
Dorothy said, “I’m so sorry. I came to see Nigel in the ward. When I walked to the
bedside, my foot kicked the foot of the bed, and I bumped into your mother. Your
mother fell off the chair and knocked her head on the corner of the table. That’s why I
am here with Bianca.”
Anne did not expect this to be the case and suddenly became suspicious, “Was it an
accident?”
“What do you mean? Do you think that I pushed her on purpose? Do not accuse me
without evidence!” Dorothy said eccentrically.
Anne really had no evidence.
She just felt suspicious.
She felt that they did it on purpose.
Now to think of it, it was unlikely.
She had not mentioned to anyone that they were going to sea.
Anthony would not tell Bianca that he was taking another woman out to sea, would

Perhaps it really was an accident, then.
“If you want to find out the truth, we will cooperate with you,” Bianca said.
Anne was annoyed by her attitude.
They sounded as if it was an accomplishment to hurt someone.
“If I ever find out that you were the ones behind this…Now, please go out,” Anne said.
“Go investigate. We are not afraid.” Bianca gave her a contemptuous sideways glance
and left the ward with Dorothy.
After watching them leave, Anne asked Dr. Brown, “I remember there was a
surveillance camera in my father’s ward?”
“Indeed there is.”
“I want to have a look.”
“Then come with me.”
Dr. Brown took Anne to the monitoring room and brought up the footage.
Sarah entered the ward after lunch, while Dorothy and Bianca went in two hours later.
There was no conflict, and it seemed that they both came to visit Nigel.
Five minutes later, Dorothy toppled over as if her foot was hooked somewhere, and
she lost her footing.
She could not see why though. The footage was blocked by Bianca.
Was it a coincidence?
“It’s exactly what they said,” Dr. Brown said.
“Damn it.” Anne returned to the ward and found that Sarah was already awake, so she
hurried over. “Mom, how are you?”
“Anne…” Sarah saw her daughter, still a little unconscious, and asked, “Why are you
here?”
“Dr. Brown called me and said you fell, and I was so worried. Do you remember how
you fell over?” Anne asked.
