Female Novel
Chapter 379
After listening to her words, Beanie was a little disappointed, but he did not go to sleep as he wasinstructed to. Instead, he slipped out of bed, put on his shoes, and went downstairs to pour a glassof milk for Minerva.
"Mommy."
Upon smelling the scent of milk, Minerva suddenly realized that Beanie had brought her a glass ofmilk. She was stunned for a moment before raising her head to look at him. She realized that hiseyes were astonishingly dark and he was staring straight at her.
It was as if he was telling her, "Mommy, stop ignoring me. I'm so lonely."
Over the past few days, she had been busy with her work, working until almost midnight each day.After waking up, she would then proceed to her work again and it was as if she... ignored Beanie'swellbeing.
Thinking of this, Minerva suddenly felt that it was really not right for her to do so.
She did not accept the glass of milk, but instead, she quickly saved her work on the computer. Thenshe closed the laptop and looked at Beanie. Only then did she slowly reach out to take the milk inhis hands and said, "I'm sorry, Beanie. I've been busy these days and have neglected you. I'm reallysorry."
As she spoke, she went to hug Beanie's shoulders and pulled his little body into her arms.
When Beanie approached her, he reached out and hugged her neck then whispered, "It doesn'tmatter, Mommy. I know you are busy so I don't mind."
"I mind. I should have thought about it earlier. From now on, I won't work at night. I'll spend moretime with you."
Although Beanie said it didn't matter to him, when he heard Minerva promise to accompany himmore, his eyes became much brighter than before. After all, he was a child and he needed thecompany of his parents.
He had lost his father's love. He could not lose maternal love too.
Minerva handed him the milk and said, "I don't need to drink milk. This cup of milk was poured byyou, so why don't you drink it all?"
Beanie blinked his eyes and said, "But Mommy, I specially poured it for you."
Minerva heard him and she had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, I'll drink it."
After finishing the milk, Minerva went back to the bed with Beanie in her arms. "I'm not going towork tonight. I'll accompany you. Do you want to hear a bedtime story?"
Beanie nodded and said, "Okay, Mommy, what story are you telling me tonight?"
"Well, let me think about it first. I'll tell you about ... "
"Once upon a time ... " The next day.
In the hospital.
When Abigail brought soup to the hospital, she saw that the ward had almost been tidied up.Maddox was bending down and wearing his shoes.
"Wh-what are you doing?" Abigail's face suddenly changed. She then stepped forward and put thesoup on the table.
Maddox looked up at her and said, "Did you see everything?"
"Have you gotten yourself discharged from the hospital?" Abigail asked. "Have you completed thedischarge procedures?"
As soon as she asked, Sam, who had completed the discharge procedures, came back. When heentered the ward and saw Abigail, he respectfully called, "Auntie Stark."
Abigail looked back at him. "Did you complete the discharge procedures?"
Sam was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. "Young Master Yardley said that he's fine, so ... "
"Who said he is fine?" Abigail stepped forward and snatched the list from his hand. She then glaredat Maddox. "Who told you to make the decision by yourself? How can you be discharged from thehospital so quickly? Don't you know that you had a car accident? It's not an ordinary injury!"
Upon hearing this, Maddox frowned unhappily and said coldly, "Even if it's a car accident, so what?I'm not seriously injured. It's just an ordinary injury."
Abigail was at loss for words. "Well, do you have to be so stubborn? Okay! I will arrange for a blinddate for you today. Last time, I clearly told you that I will arrange one for you after you leave thehospital. Since you are in such a hurry to leave the hospital, you must be excited about the blinddate, right?"
Maddox narrowed his eyes with a displeased aura emanating from his body.novelbin
"Who said I agreed?"
"Ha." Abigail sneered, then took out her mobile phone and went out to make a phone call. Maddoxlooked at this scene speechlessly, but he didn't say anything in the end.
He could let her make the phone call. Anyway, he wouldn't go and he wouldn't care what kind ofperson she had found for him.
Maddox got up, fastened the buttons of his suit jacket, and said coldly, "Let's go back to thecompany."
Sam stood at the side and nodded, then followed him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked to the door of the ward, Abigail blocked their way. "Whereare you going? Without my permission, you are not allowed to go anywhere today!"
Maddox pursed his thin lips, and his aura was cold.
"Maddox, it doesn't matter if you don't want to listen to me and continue to stay in the hospital.However, if you don't agree to go on this blind date, then ... I will go to the netherworld to find yourmother to let her make the call!" Maddox was speechless.
Sam didn't know what to say either.
Sam swallowed a mouthful of saliva in surprise and stuttered, "That... Auntie Stark, let's not be soserious, okay? Young Master Yardley has a good physical condition. Even if he is discharged fromthe hospital early, it should not be such a big problem too, right?"
"It's because of you," Abigail looked at Sam and said. "Even if he has a good physical state, is henow a robot? Does he not need rest? Have you ever heard of any patient who jumped straight fromthe bed to work without resting? Does he really think that his body is made of iron?"
Sam tried to explain, "Auntie Stark, I ... "
"Alright, shut up. This has nothing to do with you. Today you have a day off. Go back and have arest."
Hearing this, Sam's face was immediately filled with joy. "Really?"
Sam's joy didn't last long before he felt a sharp gaze coming at him. He was so scared that heimmediately straightened up and stood up straight.
"I think it's not a good idea. If I don't work today, I won't have the year-end bonus at the end of theyear."
"Is that so?" Abigail narrowed her eyes and glanced at Maddox. "If he doesn't give you the year-endbonus, I'll give you three times the amount of what you used to get."
Hearing this, Sam immediately widened his eyes. "Auntie Stark, this ... " "So you can go and take avacation with ease."
Not waiting for Sam to speak again, Abigail directly grabbed his arm and pushed him out.
There were only Maddox and Abigail left in the ward.
Abigail blocked the door and didn't let him go.
The two of them stared at each other for a while. Then, Maddox returned to the bedside and saidcoldly.
"I don't mind staying here for a week, but don't arrange blind dates for me."
"Haha, even if you agree to stay here for a month now, I won't promise you either."
Abigail sneered and went in to close the door of the ward right away.
"I've already told the other party that you can meet in the afternoon. Maddox, do you think I amjoking with you? I'm telling you that it's impossible. You either go on a blind date obediently, or ... letme go to your mother's grave to complain about this to her!"
Maddox said, "Do you have to force me like this?"
"Who is the one forcing who now? Do you know how old you are now? What have you been doingthese years? I am your elder. Is it not right for me to find someone to take care of you?"
