Chapter 749

"You don't feel dizzy? It seems that your condition has stabilized. Are you still taking the medicine Iprescribed for you? Remember to take it on time. It will be beneficial for your health."

Maddox nodded. "Thank you, Doctor Hayes."

"Since there's nothing wrong with Mr. Sebastian's health, I can be rest assured when I return toHidalgo. Thank you for your hospitality today, Master Collins."

Jarold stood up with a crutch and nodded. "Sebastian, go and see doctor Hayes off."

"No, you don't have to see me off. The driver is outside. Besides, I am familiar with the road here. Ican go out by myself."

After saying that, Doctor Hayes left on his own as if he was afraid that Maddox would really see himoff.

After he left, Jarold stroked his beard. "Why did Doctor Hayes run away so fast? Sebastian, wereyou being scary and making the others afraid of you?"

Maddox was speechless.

Jarold said, "Otherwise, why would he run away when he heard that you were the one who wouldbe escorting him?"

Maddox said, "Grandfather, this has nothing to do with me."

When Jarold saw his cold face, he tutted, "Look at your face, you look like someone owes you adebt and you dared to say that it's none of your business."

"What can I do for you, Grandpa?"

He was not in high spirits and his tone was very cold.

When Jarold heard this, he immediately grew unhappy.

"You brat, is this your attitude to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jarold raised his crutch and hit Maddox. Maddox quickly dodged itand said with a frown, "Grandpa, is this your attitude towards your own grandson? I would becrippled if you hit me with a crutch from such height."

Jarold looked at him with interest. "You little brat, didn't you dodge?"

Maddox's face was cold. "I dodged. Is it relevant to you trying to hit me?"

The colder his expression was, the more Jarold felt that he was pleasing to the eye. His outerappearance was also very goodlooking, similar to his mother Aurora.

At the thought of Aurora, a pitiful look appeared on Jarold's aged face. "You look very much likeyour mother. It's a pity..."

Knock, knock-

Someone suddenly knocked on the door of the study room.

"Come in."

After the door was opened, a maid stood at the door and said respectfully, "Old Master, Mr.Sebastian. Miss Dormer is here."

"Hm?" Jarold picked his half- white brows. "Monica's here? Sebastian, hurry down the stairs andtake care of her on my behalf."

"I'm not free." Without even thinking about it, Maddox rejected Jarold's request.

Jarold said, "You little brat dare to refuse me? How would it look like when Monica comes without ahost? What's more, Monica cared about you so much before. Do you know..."

The old man started his nagging again. Maddox's head started to spin as he listened. He closed hisdark eyes and opened them again. It was pitch-black inside. Finally, he turned around and walkedout.

It was as if he hadn't heard anything.

Jarold wanted to chase after him to continue nagging. But when Maddox walked out, a sweet voicesounded from the outside.

"Sebastian!"

Maddox didn't give any response.

A smug smile appeared on Jarold's face. "Monica is here. I had asked him to accompany you on mybehalf, have a good time."

'This brat, the girl has come up to him. Let's see how he can refuse her.'

Monica smiled sweetly at Jarold and nodded. "Thank you, Master Collins. Sebastian, how's yourbody? Is it better now?"

She quickly stepped forward. She encircled the arm of Maddox without hesitation and put her bodyclose to it.

Such an action...

Maddox shook off her hand and stepped back a few steps. The next second, he took off his suit andsaid coldly, "Stay away from me."

Monica, "Sebastian!"

The rims of her eyes turned red in front of Jarold.

Bam!

A crutch came swinging and it almost hit Maddox on the arm.

"You brat, why are you treating Monica like this?"

"Ah, Sebastian!" Seeing this scene, Monica was so frightened that she let out a scream. "Grandpa,don't treat him like this."

"Are you alright?" Monica walked forward and looked at Maddox in a distressed manner.

Due to the previous incident, Monica did not dare to go up to him and hold his hand. Instead, shestood not too far away from him and looked at him nervously.

"Monica, you don't have to pity him. He is so unruly. He should be punished. Besides, my crutchdidn't hit him at all!"

Despite this, Monica still had a distressed look on her face.

"Grandpa, he was injured before and he has just recovered from a serious illness. I'm so sad thatyou're treating him like this. Please stop?"

Monica was acting like a spoiled child in front of Jarold.

Maddox left the sentence 'I have something else to do' and left.

"Sebastian!" Monica wanted to chase after him but Maddox's legs were long and his steps werevery big. In an instant, he was gone.

She couldn't catch up with him. Monica's expression became frustrated.novelbin

It seemed that it would take a lot of effort for her to get Maddox to love her.

How long has it been? She often came to the Collins family to see him. When he was injured, shewas the one who took care of him. However, she didn't expect...

"Monica, don't be discouraged." Seeing how frustrated Monica was, Jarold encouraged her bysaying, "My grandson's personality is the same as his mother's. He's stubborn and doesn't listen toanyone's advice. It would be difficult for you to walk into his heart. If you really like him, then preparefor a long-term battle."

When Monica heard this, she revealed a shy expression. "Master Collins... What are you talkingabout?"

"What, did I say something wrong? Don't you like my grandson?"

Monica's fair face turned red instantly. "Master Collins, aren't you embarrassing me? Furthermore...Seb said to me..."

"I just said that if you really have a good impression on him, you should stick to it. As my grandson...he's hard to get."

He had heard about the things that happened recently. Maddox had completely ignored all thewomen who tried to strike up a conversation with him. Not only that, he had mysophobia. He wouldnot allow anyone to touch him.

If Monica wants to be together with Maddox, it would be tough.

However, it's not impossible.

"Well, I have other things to do. You can help yourself."

After Monica left the study room, she went down the stairs. As she thought of Maddox's handsomeface, she smiled.

It would be tough, but... There was hope.

It was different from the past.

Monica felt that the heavens were helping her. Otherwise... Why would it bring Maddox to her?Moreover, it just so happened that he had lost his memory.

The most important thing was that the Dormer family had an engagement rule with the CollinsFamily.
