Chapter 497


    In the hospital.


    When Minerva went back, Maddox was left alone in the ward.


    Because Janice had been arrested, things had finally quieted down for the next few days. Maddox


    took out his phone and clicked on Minerva''s Facebook profile. He then entered her profile and


    repeatedly looked at the photos and texts she had posted.


    She did not deliberately block him from her profile posts. Instead, she allowed everything to be


    public for all her friends to see.


    There were selfies, but there weren''t a lot of them. Most of the time, she posted about life events


    and the designs that she had drawn.


    He clicked on one of the photos which appeared to be taken for her by a friend. She stood by the


    sea in a blue, gauzy dress. The sea breeze blew her waist-length ck hair and dress. The beach


    at night and the dark blue dress on her were mixed together, and she was beyond beautiful in the


    mundane world.


    Maddox erged the photograph and looked at the woman''s familiar eyes and brows. Her eyes and


    the corner of her lips were filled with warm smiles.


    Tsk, this woman...


    The more he looked, the more he liked her.


    Maddox''s actions were childish. He even reached out and poked her between her brows on the


    image. Then, he said softly.


    "Stupid woman."


    Sam, who was standing beside him, was speechless.


    Huh, could Sam think that himself was invisible?


    It was obvious that he did.


    Perhaps it was because his presence was too strong, or perhaps it was because his eyes and


    emotions had been revealed.

    Maddox suddenly raised his head and cast a murderous look at him. Sam suddenly felt a chill run


    down his back and he broke out in a cold sweat.


    "That... Young Master Yardley... I didn''t see anything just now!" Sam said with the corner of his


    mouth twitching.


    "Humph," Maddox sneered. He then curled up his lips and said coldly, "Get lost!"


    Sam hurriedly answered, "Okay."


    Hence, he immediately turned around and exited the ward.


    Just as Sam was about to leave the ward, he slid open the door and a figure rushed in from outside.


    The speed was so fast that Sam had no time to stop the person. The person had already slipped


    past him and entered the ward to stand in front of Maddox.


    "Young Master Yardley!" Sam cried out in rm. "Be careful!"


    "Oh, you brat! How dare you bully a girl!"


    Maddox was still holding his phone when Abigail rushed in front of him and knocked him down with


    a p.


    Before he could react, his entire body fell onto the floor and the mobile phone in his hand flew out


    with him!


    "Thud!"


    At the door, Sam quickly turned around and stared at the scene with wide eyes.


    One second.


    Two seconds.


    Three seconds...


    Sam suddenly came back to his senses and rushed to help him up after shouting, "Are you alright?"


    Maddox was seriously injured. Even if he had already been resting for a few days, how would the


    wound be healed so quickly? Furthermore, if he had not been so badly injured, how could he have


    been thrown to the ground by Abigail so easily? The action had made him hit his wound directly.


    In the blink of an eye, Maddox''s handsome face had turned pale and his lips, which had only started


    to regain its color turned white. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.


    "I''m going to call the doctor!" Sam felt that something was wrong. He immediately helped him up


    and went to get the doctor.


    After seeing this scene, Abigail squinted her eyes. Maddox''s condition showed that he was indeed


    seriously injured.


    "You... You''re hurt?"


    Maddox looked up and appeared weak. "What do you think, Aunt?"


    Abigail was stunned for a moment and then reacted. She stepped forward and demanded, "Where''s


    your injury? Let me see!"


    After Maddox got up, he ignored her and went forward to pick up the cell phone that had fallen on


    the ground. The screen was broken and he pressed the mobile phone and found that it still worked.


    However, the picture on the screen was indeed distorted, and the facial features of the person in the


    picture could not be seen because of the broken screen.


    Abigail vaguely saw a figure. Although the facial features could not be seen clearly, it could be


    identified that it was a girl. As though she had smelled something, she narrowed her eyes.


    "Who is that?"


    Upon hearing this, Maddox silently put away his phone. A cold aura emanated from his entire body.


    "What are you doing here?"


    Without any form of greeting, his cold face obviously had the words, "I don''t want to see you" written


    all over it.


    "You brat, don''t think that I don''t dare to do anything to you just because you are injured! What''s that


    look in your eyes? Why do you have such an expression when your auntes all the way from


    San Novia?"


    Maddox''s expression remained unchanged. "Aunt, what do you want me to do? The first thing you


    did was throw your injured nephew on the ground and also damage his phone. What do you think I


    should do to you?"


    Abigail was speechless.


    She was indeed in the wrong; it was her fault.


    However, thinking of what Samantha had said to her, Abigail had also felt that she had hit him too


    lightly.


    Therefore, she said, "I only pushed you so lightly, yet you still fell over. Since when have you


    be so weak? And how can you me me for it?"


    "When did I be so fragile? Well, you''ll have to ask the good match you introduced to me."


    "The person I introduced to you? What''s wrong with her?" Sensing something odd, Abigail took a


    few steps forward, curled her lips and said, "You look so pale. Where is your wound? Let me have a


    look at the wound first."


    "Do you really care about my injury? Why do you look like you are here to condemn me?"


    Abigail said, "I dide to condemn you, but it doesn''t stop me from caring about you. Do you have


    a problem with that?"


    Maddox did not reply. His eyes were as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.


    He looked as if he had really lost his temper.


    It had been so many years, but Maddox had never acted like this. Abigail could sense that... the


    incident was indeed very serious.


    However, Janice was just a woman. How could he lose his temper at her so easily?


    What was the reason behind it?


    No, Abigail had to figure it out.


    "Well, if you don''t want to talk about it, I won''t force you. If you don''t let me look at your wound, I


    won''t make things difficult for you either. Now, let me ask you. It was just a blind date. Why have


    you sent thedy to court? What did she do to you? Even if she did anything wrong, you should at


    least give her the benefit of the doubt based on my friendship with the Lowell family, right?"


    "Benefit of the doubt?" Maddox mocked her as he choked out those words with hate. "Aunt, you''ve


    never been a stupid person. Why have you be so incapable of thinking today? Do you think I


    would have sent her to court for no reason?"


    Abigail was stunned and she suddenly reacted under Maddox''s words.


    That''s right!


    At that time, Samantha had cried so hard that Abigail was distracted. When she heard the story


    from her side, Abigail naively thought that Maddox was too impulsive. She was mad at how he


    could ruin the Lowell family''s image just because of the date? But now that she had calmed down,


    she sensed that something was wrong indeed.


    Her nephew was not a brutal and unreasonable person. Even if he was unreasonable, thew was


    fair. How could he have sent an innocent person to court?
