All Chapters of Love's Masquerade: Chapter 391 - Chapter 400

In the spacious dining room, only the sounds of the housekeeper and servants serving dishes remained. However, everyone at the dining table fell silent, afraid to make a sound.Although Belle and Beatrice wore displeased and resentful expressions, they dared not voice their grievances under the overbearing presence of Frederic. Frederic, however, seemed unsatisfied and continued to scold them, "You seem to forget that Connor is my doctor. She is not only important to Cedric but also to me. Your sarcastic remarks and unfriendly attitudes are aimed at the person who's saving my life. Are you wishing for my early demise?""Father, we … We didn't mean that …""We certainly wish you to live a long and healthy life …"The sisters hurriedly explained, but Frederic sneered. "Your words sure sound sweet, but don't think I can be fooled just because I'm sick now."Biting her lip, Beatrice couldn't hold back her anger and whispered, "Father, there are some things that I've been wanting to

She would never give birth at such a young age and hadn't even considered it. After all, she was still in her early 20s and considered herself too young. She hadn't even figured out her own life, so how could she have a child? Naturally, Frederic saw it differently. He was old. Cedric only returned to the family recently. Frederic felt that he owed Cedric, and therefore, cared most about him. All he wanted was for Cedric to inherit his place or produce an heir, at the very least. With a miracle doctor like Faye around, Frederic felt like he could live for another decade or two until his grandson was old enough to inherit everything. When Faye didn't respond, he cleared his throat. "It's been a while since you two got married. It's best to give birth while you are still young. That way, you recover sooner, and it's more beneficial for the child as well."Faye smiled. "You sure care about us.""You two are my son and daughter-in-law, so why wouldn't I care about you?" Fre

Sandra's sudden display of affection left Faye somewhat bewildered. Instinctively, she took a couple of steps backward, trying to retract her hand and establish some distance from the elderly woman. Surprisingly, despite appearing to be in her 70s or 80s, Sandra demonstrated considerable strength. She gripped Faye's hand firmly as if holding onto a lifeline. "Layla, you're back ..." Sandra exclaimed with excitement, gripping Faye's hand. With her other trembling hand, she attempted to push aside the veil partially covering Faye's eyes."Mrs. Reed ..." Nadia was also taken aback by Sandra's behavior. She was about to interject when Sandra's daughter-in-law, Yvette, rushed forward. Anxiously, Yvette said, "Mom, you've mistaken her for someone else. This isn't Layla."Yvette held Sandra's hand and gently advised, "Mom, calm down. This young lady is in her early 20s. How could she be Layla?""When Layla left, she looked exactly the same ... Exactly the same ..." Sandra insisted. S

Faye was chatting with Taylor when she heard that Sandra had fainted. Reacting swiftly to the news, Taylor took a few hurried steps, then hesitated. He cast a nervous glance back at Faye and said, "Mrs. Shaw, would you mind accompanying me to check on Grandma?"It wasn't a lack of confidence that held Taylor back. Rather, he possessed an intimate understanding of his grandmother's condition. Being part of a family steeped in medical expertise, they were acutely aware of Sandra's fragile health. Taylor recognized that if a cure existed within his capabilities, Sandra wouldn't be in her current state. Sandra's true ailment, however, was more psychological than physical. Mental distress had taken its toll on her body, exacerbated by the effects of aging, resulting in a myriad of health issues. While Sandra acknowledged her health problems, she refrained from confronting or addressing them. Her situation bore a resemblance to Victor's. Both individuals engaged in self-punishment in th

Faye and Nadia sat in a corner for a while, but Nadia was soon approached by a few of her good friends for a conversation.Throughout the years, Nadia had led a reclusive life, primarily spent in a sanatorium. She seldom reached out to the external world, let alone interacting with it. Despite this, her amiable nature forged connections, resulting in a circle of friends.Presently, most of these companions had married into prominent families in Jorn City, ascending to the status of affluent wives. In the past, Nadia had been absent from such gatherings, but this time, being present, her friends were determined not to let her slip away.Concerned that Faye might feel uneasy on her own, Nadia contemplated bringing her along. However, Faye waved it off and said, "You go ahead, sister-in-law. I'll manage on my own for a while."Seeing that Nadia was still concerned, Faye smiled and said, "I have a few friends attending the banquet too. I was planning to seek them out for a chat.""Oh,
