Chapter: 3576

There was no way to rush into the main topic like that; one had to give people some foreplay and time to adapt.

Finished speaking, Li Chen gave Helena a reassuring glance.

Helena saw this and could only nod slightly, saying, "Alright, then I'll go see Granny with Olivian first. We'll meet again at dinner."

Li Chen nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Li Chen followed the guards to a guest room on the third floor of the ancient castle.

At the same time, Helena was led by Olivian to the top level of the castle, which is the sixth layer.

This layer is the exclusive living area for the royal family.

The queen, who had already been sentenced to death, was currently in a luxurious suite on this level.

Half of the suite had been transformed into an intensive care room.

Olivian led Helena upstairs and didn't immediately enter the patient's room. Instead, she brought her to the next-door room and instructed a maid: "Search her!"

The maid promptly approached Helena and conducted a thorough search from head to toe, finding only one smartphone on her, which she handed over to Olivian with a bow, saying: "Your Highness, that's all."

Olivian nodded, instructing her: "Take away her phone first."

She finished speaking and beckoned Helena with her hand, saying: "Come along."

Helena followed Olivian to the door of the patient's room. Olivian sent away the guards stationed outside the room and also dismissed a few doctors who were on duty. She then led Helena into the room.

Inside the room, an old woman with white hair lay motionless on the hospital bed, her face expressionless.

She was extremely thin, with an oxygen mask covering her face, and her whole body only showed slight chest movements when she breathed.

As Helena saw this old woman, her eyes welled up with tears, and she cried out to the bedside: "Grandma... Grandma, can you hear my voice? I'm Helena. I've come back to see you..."

Olivian sneered coldly: "Helena, don't make a fool of yourself. She's not going to wake up and defend justice for you!"

Aside from them and the dying queen, there was no one else here, so Olivian immediately put away her fake smile.

Helena turned her head towards Olivian and asked: "Olivian, where did you hide my mom?"

Olivian snickered: "Don't you feel a bit childish asking that? I need to use your mom's life as leverage to pressure you into submission. How could I possibly tell you where she is?"

As Helena bit her lip and asked, "Olivian! I'm your sister! I'm your relative! Why are you treating me this way? Why are you treating my mom like this?"

Olivian smiled coldly as she shrugged, "Come on, Helena. It's too late for that kind of emotional manipulation to have any meaning."

After a pause, Olivian continued, "I'll tell you this: you no longer have any choices left. After I marry Prince Amar of Mović, I'll spare your mom's life! Otherwise, not only will I force you to marry Prince Amar, but I'll also turn your mom into what she is now!"

As Olivian said this, her finger pointed at the bedridden Queen of North Europe. JrNovels.com
