Chapter 178
What’s wrong, Jessica! Did someone bully you? Is it that punk. Leo? I’ll help you handle him, okay!
Joe had never seen her like this before. Even during the incident when she didn’t want to go homest
time, she had been so aggrieved. She was crying in his argns, struggling to catch her breath.
He felt a bit helpless He could only let her tears and snot stain his expensive suit. He patted her back
gently, trying to
“Stop crying, okay? Jessica, if you want to go home tonight, you can. Il apany you back. Let’s not
suffer this grievance. Just tell me who bullied you, and Ill take care of everything for you.”
Madison had yet to recover. She could only continue crying and shaking her head. She was so choked
up, struggling to speak between sobs. It’s not someone else… It’s me..
She was the one who meddled in other people’s matters. It had nothing to do with Leo.
She recalled the previous incident at the Palmer family’s old residence. She was originally getting along
well with Leo, but after she finished talking to Amber, his attitude suddenly changed. He tore off the
bandages she had applied and threw the tie she had chosen into the trash can
At that time, she was still puzzled. Now that she recalled the incident, it turned out that there was a
reason for his sudden change in behavior.
She could only me herself for being oblivious to his emotions. She had simply thought that he was
being moody and temperamental.
Now that she thought about it, he just detested her self-righteous preaching.
With his personality, Lea had already started to defy Edgar when his capabilities were first revealed.

Later on, he became even more unruly. How could he listen to an outsider like her preach nicely?
Three years was too long. When she returned, she was deceived by his pretense of nobility and
indifference and almost forgot what kind of person he was.
He was rebellious and unruly.
She had been patiently coaxed andforted by Joe for a long time. Although her emotions had
gradually calmed down. one could tell that she was still holding onto some pent-up emotions from the
asional shuddering of her shoulders.
Joe looked down at the tear-stained Madison with a furrowed brow and sighed unintentionally.
Then he raised his hand and flicked her forehead. He said helplessly. “Haven’t you cried enough? Look
at you, your tears and snot have stained my clothes. It’s so filthy, Luckily, you’re not wearing any
makeup! Otherwise, you’d look like a ghost. and even your own brother wouldn’t recognize you!”
“That won’t do. You have to recognize me
Madison wiped away the tears on her face and looked at Joe with a hint of grievance.
When she finally withdrew from his embrace, she noticed the stains on his clothes. She could not help
butugh and book at Jor in disgust “How did it get so dirty!”
Jor retorted granpaly, “You have the nerve toin and despise your brother? Didn’t you do it

After being teased by for the anger in Madison’s heart dissipated. She grabbed Joe’s arm as they
bantered.
Joe did not push her away. He looked affectionately at his younger sister and asked helplessly. “Are
you feeling better now?”
Madison also knew that Joe was just trying to cheer her up. She looked a little embarrassed. I’m sorry,
Joe, for makin worry about me
Joe patted her head. “Why are you apologizing to me I’m not worried about you. I just find you
annoying. You’re miserably and making a mess. Tell me, didlot punk bully you am?”
Madison shook her head She did not want Joe to question her too much. Instead, she pulled him and
acted coquettishly, Tm so hungry Joe, quickly take me to eat something I’m starving to death
Joe naturally did as she said. Seeing that she did not want to say anything, he did not pry any further
and brought her to the

“What do you mean it doesn’t matter! You’ve already made Jessica cry and her fears don’t matter to
you at all! So just because she has someone tofort her, you won’t even apologize?”
Cullen really could not understand. The two of them had been getting along fine just before getting into
the car. But in the time it took him to park the car, Leo had managed to upset Jessica to the point of
crying
What kind of man was he
Before Cullen could voice his condemnation, Leo, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and

As if he could read Cullen’s mind, Leo stopped again.
“Is there a problem with what I said
“No, no problem.”
Cullen shook his head and gave Leo a thumbs-up with a grin.
“It’s just that I’m not used to you suddenly bing so normal. It seems that your recent visits to the
therapist very effective. Not had! Don’t stop taking the medicine!
Leo narrowed his eyes. “Why do I feel like you’re insulting me in a roundabout way?”
Cullen smiled. Twouldn’t dare.”
Leo looked at him coldly, but he was pushed forward by Cullen. Let’s go. It’s gettingte. Let’s check on
how your mom is doing so that we can go grab something to eat. Let’s not waste time here,”
Leo did not say anything else. He frowned and waved Cullen’s hand away
People at the inpatient department came and went. Some were happily carrying baby supplies, while
others had sorrowful expressions with red eyes.
Leo and Cullen stepped into the elevator. The first thing they say was a young girl standing in the
corner wiping her tears. Her long hair covered her face, revealing only her shoulders trembling from
sobbing.
For some reason, Leo suddenly remembered the night Madison returned to Rozalia, and he proposed
to get a divorce. She was also crying like this.
Even though he now knew that she was pretending at that time, the image of her subbing at the
hospital entrance ovepped with that moment.
He was the one who had made her cry.
Indeed, he should apologize properly.
He would exin it to her when he goes to Rose Garden tomorrow.
But at this moment, Madison, who had been crying at the hospital and was taken away by Joe, was
buying a ne ticket to leave Sidovor City.
There was no time like the present. On the way back to Green Water Bay, she had already discussed
with Joe and also informed him about taking Greg to Rozalia for a couple of days.
As for buying tickets, she entrusted the task to Samuel.
Soon, the time was confirmed. The flight was going to be at four o’clock the next afternoon
