Chapter 120 - 121 Surprise of Their Lives
‘Rhys called an ambulance,’ Yvaine said, ‘told his father the wedding had to be delayed, asked him to pacify the guests. You should’ve seen the look on Clive’s face, Mira. He looked like he was going to tear Rhys to pieces, kept shouting “What the hell is this?” and “What will the guests think?”’
‘Yeah, that sounds like the Uncle Clive I know,’ I muttered.
‘I’m with Rhys on this one, though. I mean, Catherine looked barely conscious, and the sweat on her face was visible all the way across the room.’
I nodded. ‘Go on.’
‘Rhys yelled, Clive yelled back. Louisa tried to intervene, but no one listened to her. Then Franklin and Caroline arrived and rushed straight to Catherine. All sorts of shouting followed. Everyone was scrambling. Then the ambulance came. Rhys and his sister Willow rushed out with Catherine on a stretcher. And that’s all I know.’
She made yummy noises. ‘I’ve got to get the contact info for whoever made this cake. It’s seriously amazing.’
‘Forget the cake. You won’t believe what I’m going to tell you.’
‘That’s going to top my story?’ Yvaine scoffed. ‘Unless you tell me you’re pregnant with Ashton’s baby, I’m not sure anything can shock me at this point, Mira.’
‘Don’t be too sure.’ I jumped off the bed. ‘I’ll meet you. It’s a long story, and you’ll want to be sitting down for this.’
‘I’m already sitting down, and I’m sitting with the best slice of wedding cake in all of Skyline City.’
‘Just come. You won’t regret it.’
‘Fine, fine. Looks like the show’s over on my end, anyway. Clive and Franklin are apologising to the guests, probably feeding them some bullshit story about a gas leak or something. Anyway, I’m out. Where are we meeting?’
