The Queen's Back

Maxwell lowered his head and happened to see Mona's sparkling eyes. Under the dim light, they seemed to glow. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his head and kissed Mona on the lips. "Yes, I'll listen to you." Since he was hesitating, he would let Mona make the decision for him.

Just like that, after the two of them left the cinema, they did not go home. Instead, they decided to go to the hospital.

It was unknown when the sky outside had changed, but it suddenly started to drizzle. The autumn wind blew, bringing with it a chill that slid across their checks.

Fall in Nathontown lasted especially long this year. When it wasn't raining, the air was stuffy and suffocating.

On the way to the hospital, Mona could feel Maxwell's low spirits. She just interlocked her fingers with his and accompanied him.

The wheels of the car drove on the smooth road, raising a lot of water stains. There were also swooshing sounds...

Time passed bit by bit. By the time Mona and Maxwell arrived at the hospital, Richard had already been in the operating theater for several hours. There was still no news.

Mona comforted herself in her heart, 'No news is the best news!

The rain outside the hospital had begun to pour. The distance from the parking lot to the hospital was enough to make them drenched.

Fortunately, there was an umbrella in the car. Maxwell looked at the rain outside and said to Mona, "Hold the umbrella. I'll carry you over."

There were only two umbrellas, one for him and Mona, and one for Haley and Nigel. It was just right. However, it was pouring. If the two of them used an umbrella, they would be wet when they went to the hospital.

In this weather, it was very easy to catch a cold if one was drenched in the rain.

"Alright!" Mona replied without hesitation.

After Maxwell carried Mona in his arms, Mona held the umbrella with one hand and wrapped her other hand around Maxwell's neck. Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella, she was a little worried about the quality of the umbrella above their heads. She did not know if it would break.

Nigel and Haley did not go over like Mona. Instead, the two of them walked to the hospital using an umbrella.

Haley did not think that she was a delicate little girl like Mona, the kind who would fall sick if she was drenched in the rain. In the past, when she was training, she would run in the heavy rain. Her physical fitness was naturally passable. She thought of the chicken drumsticks that Nigel had given her last time and even generously pushed the umbrella to him.

When Nigel saw this, he laughed happily. "This young lady is really generous.

When the four of them arrived at the entrance of the operating theater, the surgery was still not over.

There were cries at the door. Not only were there people from the Carter family, but there were also some relatives of them. When they saw this situation at Cordon's wedding, they naturally followed. Perhaps they could even get some of the Carter family's assets! Footsteps could be heard. Someone noticed Maxwell and thought, 'Didn't Maxwell get chased out by the Carter family? Why is he here? He probably knows that Richard is about to die and wants a share of the profits

GT.

At this moment, Richard's nephew spoke, "Why are you here?"

These words were obviously directed at Maxwell. He glanced at Mona beside Maxwell who looked very obedient. 'Is Ms. Clem out of her mind? Maxwell has already been chased out by the Carter family, but she did not divorce him. What's she thinking?'

In Joe's opinion, Maxwell was inferior to him. 'If I had known that something like that would happen at Mona and Teddy's engagement ceremony, I would have also gone to take her away. Perhaps the Clem Group would be mine now. How could this bastard Maxwell have the chance?'

In his heart, Maxwell was chased out by Richard. 'How could a lost son be worthy of Ms. Clem?'

"We can come if we want. What does it have to do with you?" Mona saw that Maxwell did not say anything and said directly.

Her voice was very cold. She did not like to smile in front of unfamiliar people. She just had a straight face and no expression on her face. Just looking at her made people feel that she was not easy to talk to.

"You..." Joe pointed at Mona. He was a little unhappy. He was talking to Maxwell. Why was Mona interrupting?

His finger had just pointed at Mona when Maxwell slapped it away. He looked over coldly. "If you dare to point at her again, be careful of your hand."

'He's no longer a member of the Carter family, so why is he still being so arrogant? Does he think that he's the Carter Group's general manager?' Joe thought in his heart. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt embarrassed. "Maxwell, who do you think you are? Do you think you can cripple my hand? I'll just point at her!" As he spoke, Joe pointed at Mona again. This time, before he could point, he was stopped by Maxwell.

Maxwell's hand twisted Joe's hand and exerted force in the opposite direction. It was very skillful, and it hurt so much that Joe's straight back subconsciously bent down.

However, he said stubbornly, "Maxwell, if you don't let go, I won't let you off."

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts!" Joe couldn't take it anymore when Maxwell applied a bit more strength.

"Alright, stop arguing. If you disturb the surgery inside, can you bear the responsibility? Since you're here, guard this place well," Stephanie said indifferently.

She glanced at Joe. 'What an incompetent fellow. Maxwell bullied you. Don't you know how to retaliate? You only know how to talk.'

Since Lydia was sent to prison, she became much quieter within the Carter family. She had just returned from the church to attend Gordon's wedding.

Maxwell thought that this was the entrance of the operating theater after all. It would not look good if he bullied Joe too much. When he let go, he exerted force and Joe almost fell to the floor. Joe glared at Maxwell coldly and looked at Stephanie who had already closed her eyes. He became much quieter.

However, Juliet looked at the closed door and muttered something in his heart.

Time passed bit by bit. The longer the surgery went on, the worse the situation became.

By the side, Gordon had already come out. His face was gloomy Molly's kick had almost injured his manhood. There were also loops of gauze wrapped around his neck. It looked very serious. Wasn't that so? His neck was swollen now, and the finger marks were especially serious. He really wanted to kill Molly now,

= GT.

Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, the door of the operating theater opened and the doctor walked out. He bowed to everyone and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, we've done our best!" What did that mean? It meant that Richard had died.

Gordon heard this as soon as he walked over. He couldn't believe his ears at all. Richard was clearly fine a few days ago, he suddenly caught a cold and hadn't completely recovered. Now, Richard was dead. Gordon couldn't believe it.
