Chapter 371


    The ward was quiet, with only the sound of the whirring ceiling fan.


    The wind blew the hair on Maddox''s forehead. He looked up and his voice suddenly faded.


    "I think... it''s nothing."


    Perhaps he had seen wrongly.


    It was just a quick glimpse, and then she disappeared. Maybe he was mistaken.


    Abigail saw the coldness in his eyes and thought of what he had just said. After thinking for a while,


    she asked, "Is this why you had a car ident?"


    Maddox didn''t say anything. It was obvious that he was admitting to it.


    At that time, he only just looked over, and he saw the outline of her profile, which was very simr to


    the one in his memory, but it quickly disappeared from his sight.


    However, he had been in a daze for a long time, as if his thoughts and mind had been pulled from


    his memory. When he came back to his senses, the car had already hit him.


    Fortunately, he was good at driving, so he managed to avoid the iing car.


    However, his car also hit the guardrail and he was a little hurt.


    It was not a serious injury. He would need to stay in the hospital for a couple of days and if nothing


    went wrong, he would be discharged soon.

    Abigail heaved a long sigh. "It seems like you still remember her after so many years, but she hasn''t


    been around for so many years. Are you sure you saw her? I guess... it was just an illusion, right?"


    An illusion?


    Maddoxughed self-mockingly in his heart.


    "Maybe."


    Seeing Maddox in such a low mood, Abigail didn''t know what to say tofort him. Although he


    had never been in a good mood in the past five years, he really looked like he was still trapped in


    love.


    As his elder, she didn''t want to always see him so depressed.


    Thinking of this, she said, "Well, you can''t go on like this all the time. After you leave the hospital


    this time, I will find you some girlfriends, and then you can go on a blind date."


    Maddox frowned unhappily when he heard that. "Aunt, what did you say?"


    "What? Do you really intend to stay single for the rest of your life? Let me tell you, it doesn''t matter if


    you want to remain single, but what about me? How old am I now? I am afraid that when I go to find


    your mother, she will me me for not taking good care of you. After all, you were personally


    entrusted to me by your mother!"


    Maddox grew even more displeased when he heard about the matter again. His expression was


    dark and he did not reply.


    Abigail realized that she had said too much, so she lowered her voice.


    "Anyway, just have a meet up no matter what. You no longer look like Maddox who used to sit in a


    wheelchair. Don''t always be paranoid, do you understand?"


    Many women used to like Maddox''s face, but when they saw that he was crippled, they would


    despise him. However, they wanted the Yardley family''s background as well. That was also the


    reason why they wanted to date him.


    But most of the time, one could tell from their gazes and actions.


    They loathed him for being a cripple.


    Moreover, there was once a rumor that he had s*xual dysfunctions, and the girls would despise him


    even more.


    However, things were different now. Maddox could walk and was no longer in a wheelchair


    anymore.


    He was handsome with a good family background, and a good figure. Besides, he had a strong


    business acumen.


    Who didn''t like such a Maddox Yardley?


    So many notable youngdies hade to him for so many years, but Maddox didn''t even look at


    them. Abigail knew what he was up to. However, she didn''t say anything.


    "I''ll tell you this. I don''t care what you think in your heart, or if you regret it or not. I''ll tell you that


    even if you do, it''s useless. You were the one who proposed a divorce, right? You''re the one who


    prevented her from joining the Yardley family. Even if you really see her, you have no right to do


    anything. Do you understand?"


    Maddox was speechless.


    "What''s more, five years have passed. It''s hard to say whether she has remarried or not. Even if


    you really see her, you can''t bother her. Do you hear me?"


    Maddox still didn''t answer. Abigail had a bad temper and she directly raised her hand to grab his


    ear.


    "Did you hear that?"


    "Hiss..." Maddox felt the pain and his face changed color. "Let me go!"


    "Now you know to ask me to let you go? Why did you ignore me when I was talking to you?"


    "Aunt..."


    Abigail saw that his ears were red because of her pinching and she suddenly felt a little distressed.


    She sighed helplessly and retracted her hand.


    "Well, I''m not mad at you too. It''s just that you have to take what I said to heart. I will not return to


    San Novia for the next two days. I will wait until you are discharged from the hospital."


    Upon hearing that, Maddox thought of the words that she had said to him regarding the blind dates.


    He instantly came to his senses.


    "You don''t have to do those things for me. I, Maddox, don''t need to worry about women." "Yes, I


    know you don''t need to worry about finding women, but do you have the mood to look for one?


    Since you are not in the mood, I''ll have to help you out. In short, this matter is settled, and I will


    arrange it. Don''t worry, I will definitely look for the kind of person with good character and who is not


    vain."


    Maddox was speechless.


    He closed his eyes, but instantly thought of the side of the face that he had glimpsed.


    Crazy.


    He was really crazy.


    It had been five years, and now, he was disturbed because of her appearance.


    At the tomb.


    "Quill, is this the ce that you wanted to take me to?"


    "That''s right."


    Quill took Minerva inside. Even though they hadn''t reached their destination yet, Minerva seemed to


    have guessed something. Quill most likely wanted to take her to their mother''s tombstone.


    Finally, after walking for a while, Quill''s footsteps finally came to a stop. Minerva followed his gaze


    and looked over.


    There was a photo attached on the tombstone. The woman in the photo looked cold, but she had a


    gentle and polite smile, lighting up her cold face.


    Minerva had seen this woman five years ago in the posters of the Hanover family. She heard that it


    was her mother.


    But in Minerva''s mind, she did not know this person at all.


    When she saw her, her heart would indeed throb and she would feel a little ufortable.


    But... after all, they had never gotten to know each other, so their affection was very indifferent.


    "When we lost you, mother had been worried about you all the time. She even went to many ces


    to find you, but when she died, she still had no clue about your whereabouts. On the day of her


    death, my mother held my hand and told me to find you no matter what. She firmly believed that her


    daughter was still alive, but she had no more chances or time to find you, so... this task became


    mine."


    Upon hearing this, Minerva could almost imagine them all.


    She was also a mother now. If Beanie disappeared one day, she would probably go crazy.


    In that way, Minerva could understand Mrs. Hanover''s feelings at that time.


    She felt a little pained, but... fate was always ridiculous.


    "Mother... how did she... pass away?"


    Logically speaking, Mrs. Hanover was still very young when she passed away.
