Female Novel
Chapter 498
"Did... she harm you in any way?" Abigail narrowed her eyes and there was a dangerous glint in hereyes. It was obvious that she was calculating in her mind already.
Maddox could not be bothered to explain. He picked up his phone and sat back down on the bed.He did not want to speak to her at all.
When he had a bad temper, it was impossible to get him to explain.
She found a chair and sat down. Maddox didn't say anything and Abigail didn't force him to sayanything. Instead, she just waited there.
Since she had already returned to North City, she had plenty of time to waste.
If he didn't say anything for the whole day, she was willing to just stay there and wait as long as ittook.
She knew he would eventually speak up sooner or later.
Seeing that the two had played their own mind games again, Sam resisted the impulse to roll hiseyes.
Every time they did that, both suffered anyway. Both of them had strong auras and it made thetemperature around them much colder.
Hence, Sam decided to be the good person and he stepped forward.
"Auntie Stark, why don't we go out? I'll tell you the whole story."
Although he did not know everything and was not present that day, he was able to get the jist of thesituation without even having to be there, simply based on the events that had happened these few
days.
"Okay, that works too!" Abigail nodded. She stood up and was about to head out with Sam.
But Maddox was ruthless, how could he agree to that? He sneered and asked, "Where are yougoing?"
The short sentence had made Sam and Abigail halt in their steps.
"Young Master Yardley, Auntie Stark has already come a long way from San Novia. If you don't wantto talk about it, let me tell her instead."
Maddox looked up and his gaze was as sharp as a sword. He asked coldly, "Since when is it yourturn to make decisions for me?"
Sam stuttered, "Okay, fine, I won't get involved! I'll go out!"
He didn't want to stay there. He was also a person with a temper.
After that, Sam directly shook off his hand and left the ward very quickly.
Abigail was speechless.
What was going on? Since Maddox didn't let Sam tell her, she just decided to wait further.
The ward fell into a strange silence. Maddox played with his cell phone the whole time. Perhaps itwas because the screen was cracked too badly, so he was very annoyed. Suddenly, he shouted outfuriously, "Sam!"
In fact, Sam did not leave. He just went outside the room.
Therefore, when Maddox called him, he couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it and rushed inimmediately.
"Young Master Yardley?"
"My phone! Take it and go fix it. Now." Maddox handed his mobile phone to Sam. Sam could onlywalk up to him and say, "Then I'll go get it fixed immediately."
"Give it back to me in 30 minutes."
Sam stuttered, "Ok... No problem!"
After Sam left, the ward fell into silence again. Abigail had calmed down and she had alsoorganized what Janice's mother had said to her in her mind.
"Since Sam is not here now, let's talk about this. The Lowell family called to say that you havebullied their daughter. Although I don't know what had caused such a serious conflict between youtwo, she is a girl after all. What would her future be if you send her to court? And plus, she is theprecious daughter of the Lowell family as well."
Precious daughter?
Hearing this description, a hint of mockery appeared in Maddox's eyes.
"So what?"
Janice had almost hurt his woman. He still had to settle this with her.
Although the wound was already on his back, what if things had gone wrong?
Thinking of this, Maddox's eyes were filled with endless coldness. His ruthless look really shockedAbigail. She couldn't help but ask, "Tell me directly. What did Janice do to you to make you hate her
so much?"
As soon as she asked, Maddox didn't speak again.
Abigail was extremely furious with him. Sam had also left and she didn't know what had happened.
When they were still angry, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
Upon hearing the sound, Maddox frowned.
Didn't he ask Sam to go repair his phone? Why did he come back so soon?
As soon as he looked up, Maddox was stunned and his pupils shrank.
When Abigail heard the sound, she naturally looked towards the source of it. When she saw theperson who pushed open the door, Abigail's face was expressionless and she suddenly stood up.
Why was she here?
Minerva had originally planned to visit at night. However, Janice was not fooling around outside soshe had had a good night's rest. When she returned home, she felt that she still had to thankMaddox for his help. Hence, she cooked some nutritious soup and prepared to send it over.
However, she didn't expect that when she opened the door of the ward, she would see...
Abigail Stark
Maddox's aunt; the woman who had treated her very well before.
But right at that moment...
The air was silent for several seconds before Minerva came back to her senses. She gave Abigail aslight smile and said, "Nice to meet you, Auntie Stark."
Auntie Stark...novelbin
Such a polite way of addressing her.
Abigail also reacted and her lips twitched as she moved forward.
A figure reacted faster than her. He directly stepped forward and stood in front of Minerva, saying,"You should go back first."
His tone was cold and forceful. Minerva looked at Maddox, who was standing in front of her, andthen looked at Abigail's shocked expression. She smiled and said softly, "I won't go back."
Maddox heard her and turned to look at her incredulously.
Minerva walked past him to the table as if nothing had happened. She placed the thermos there andturned to look at Abigail. "It's been so many years since I last saw you, Auntie Stark. You're still asyoung as before."
Abigail looked at her with perplexed eyes and did not answer.
It had been five years...
The woman had disappeared for five years. Abigail thought that she would not appear again. Shedidn't expect to see her there after she had come back from San Novia.
What the hell was going on?
And why was she in Maddox's ward?
Seeing that she was so confused that she didn't even reply to her, Minerva smiled faintly and said,"It seems that Mr. Yardley hasn't told you about what had happened."
"What on earth happened?" Abigail finally came back to her senses. This time, all her attention wasfocused on Minerva so she naturally walked towards her.
"Can you tell me?"
Minerva paused for a moment. Could she tell Abigail?
Before Minerva could speak, Maddox, who was unwilling to tell Abigail the reason, said coldly,"Don't ask first. You can come over and look at the wound on my back before you ask."
The injury on his back?
Abigail pursed her lips and then walked towards Maddox.
She walked up to Maddox's back and saw Minerva quietly watching from the side. Unknowingly,Minerva met Maddox's cold gaze. When he looked at her, his eyes were full of emotion.
It was obvious that he didn't want to explain to his aunt, but now he...
Was it for her?
