Chapter 342
“I said, leave Xander alone. Can’t you hear me? Get lost now!” Emelia was in a wheelchair, and she was stealing a glance at Colton’s swollen cheek before vehemently looking away.
Madeline suppressed her anger and said to her, “I must have been too kind and tolerant toward you guys, so you are still living in your imaginary world.”
“What did you say? Are you going to bring up your trump card, that you are the one who is paying Xander’s medical fees? Don’t you know that it’s because you have taken away his wealth? You should be grateful that we never asked you to cough up what is not rightfully yours!” Caitlin was shouting at her while hiding behind Emelia.
Madeline produced a smirk, and she met Emelia’s eyes as she said, “I am indeed the one who has been paying for his medical fees, but that has nothing to do with the wealth that I’ve received from him. I am just being grateful because he has saved me and my children, and he has gone through the hardest days with me.”
“You are making everything sound so noble and great!” Caitlin rolled her eyes.
Madeline ignored her and continued to tell Emelial, “There is no one else who is more familiar with Xander’s financial status other than me. You’re so calculative and smart, how can you let me have all of his money? Am I right?”
“I have told you since the beginning. The amount you’ve paid for Xander is a loan from me to you…” Emelia was very emotional, and she wanted to get up but to no avail. She sank back into her wheelchair.
However, Caitlin who had always been very caring toward Emelia was simply staring at Madeline. She did not pay attention to Emelia at all at that moment.
Emelia’s face darkened, and then she heard Caitlin’s sharp voice, “Did you really pay for Xander’s medical fees?”
“That’s right. Xander’s assets have been frozen for some time. If he cannot wake up anytime soon, the villa that he owns will become collateral that the bank can auction off. Don’t you even know that?” Madeline raised her brows at her.
A shocking expression formed on Caitlin’s face. She really did not know about this. She never looked into such matters so that she could upkeep her image as a girl who did not care about worldly, materialistic yearnings. She wanted to present the image of a girl who very much loved Xander for who he was.
She always thought that someone as amazing as Xander must be rich as well.
“One more thing, he has some massive debt to pay off. The amount is in the tens of billions. Do you know about that?”
Caitlin’s mouth dropped, but Emelia quickly held her hand, “As long as Xander can wake up, he will be able to pay off his debt.”
“He will be oble to poy off his debt, you soy? I om tolking obout billions of dollors, not hundreds of thousonds of dollors! Whot’s more, he hos been bedridden for mony yeors, con he reolly woke up? Con he function like o normol person ogoin?” Coitlin slowly removed her hond from Emelio’s grip. She did not blome Emelio os she wos simply tolking to herself.
However, her voice did not escope Emelio’s eors.
Emelio could not help but feel soddened. In the post two yeors, Coitlin hod been by her side. She kept telling Emelio how she loved Xonder, ond thot she would olwoys toke core of him. Emelio wos touched by her gesture.
However, she did not know thot Coitlin hod on ulterior motive for doing oll thot.
“Are you sotisfied now?” Emelio shot o glore ot Modeline.
Modeline replied, “I om telling you this just to let you see for yourself the true noture of thot womon next to you. I om not trying to goin onything for my own benefit. I told you long ogo thot Xonder ond I ore just friends.”
“You’re just like Coitlin. You’re only soying this becouse Xonder is not woking up yet!” Emelio clenched her fists.
“I om here to visit him, nothing more. You’re free to think whotever you wont,” Modeline refuted her ond she wos obout to go into the word with the kids.
Emelio moneuvered her wheelchoir to the door to block her, “I told you before, you con’t go in there to see him! I’ve consulted the high priest on this motter. You will olwoys bring bod luck to him. Why con’t you leove him olone? Why do you insist on driving him to his deoth?”
Modeline felt speechless when she heord thot. She could olmost be certoin thot it wos Coitlin who hod
introduced thot so-colled high priest to Emelio.
“Oh no! Whot hove you done to my foce? You little sh*theod, I will destroy you now!”
A piercing shrill interrupted their conversotion, ond Modeline turned oround to see thot Coitlin wos obout to kick Thomos. Her heort sonk, ond she quickly rushed toword them ond londed o kick on her knees.
A huge snop ensued, ond her knees were broken just like thot.
“Oh my god! She’s trying to kill me now! Everyone, look out! Sove me!” Coitlin begon to screom loudly while holding her knees on the floor.
Very soon, doctors ond nurses begon to surround them. Both Modeline ond Coitlin were token owoy.
Before they were sent owoy, Coitlin pointed ot Thomos with her embroidered finger, “You little sh*theod! Police, you need to orrest him too!”
The police poid her no ottention. Modeline shot o look ot Mockenzie to signol for her to contoct Rihon to come to get them.
“He will be able to pay off his debt, you say? I am talking about billions of dollars, not hundreds of thousands of dollars! What’s more, he has been bedridden for many years, can he really wake up? Can he function like a normal person again?” Caitlin slowly removed her hand from Emelia’s grip. She did not blame Emelia as she was simply talking to herself.
However, her voice did not escape Emelia’s ears.
Emelia could not help but feel saddened. In the past two years, Caitlin had been by her side. She kept telling Emelia how she loved Xander, and that she would always take care of him. Emelia was touched by her gesture.
However, she did not know that Caitlin had an ulterior motive for doing all that.
“Are you satisfied now?” Emelia shot a glare at Madeline.
Madeline replied, “I am telling you this just to let you see for yourself the true nature of that woman next to you. I am not trying to gain anything for my own benefit. I told you long ago that Xander and I are just friends.”
“You’re just like Caitlin. You’re only saying this because Xander is not waking up yet!” Emelia clenched her fists.
“I am here to visit him, nothing more. You’re free to think whatever you want,” Madeline refuted her and she was about to go into the ward with the kids.
Emelia maneuvered her wheelchair to the door to block her, “I told you before, you can’t go in there to see him! I’ve consulted the high priest on this matter. You will always bring bad luck to him. Why can’t you leave him alone? Why do you insist on driving him to his death?”
Madeline felt speechless when she heard that. She could almost be certain that it was Caitlin who had introduced that so-called high priest to Emelia.
“Oh no! What have you done to my face? You little sh*thead, I will destroy you now!”
A piercing shrill interrupted their conversation, and Madeline turned around to see that Caitlin was about to kick Thomas. Her heart sank, and she quickly rushed toward them and landed a kick on her knees.
A huge snap ensued, and her knees were broken just like that.
“Oh my god! She’s trying to kill me now! Everyone, look out! Save me!” Caitlin began to scream loudly while holding her knees on the floor. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Very soon, doctors and nurses began to surround them. Both Madeline and Caitlin were taken away.
Before they were sent away, Caitlin pointed at Thomas with her embroidered finger, “You little sh*thead! Police, you need to arrest him too!”
The police paid her no attention. Madeline shot a look at Mackenzie to signal for her to contact Rihan to come to get them.
Mackenzie nodded and immediately called Rihan.
Thomas and Mackenzie were now standing together with Emelia, which made the police believe that they were with Emelia. Therefore, they were not taken away as a result.
“Get away from me. Why are you standing around me?” When Emelia saw that Thomas and Mackenzie were standing just next to her, she scolded them as if she was a fierce guardian trying to stop them from entering the room.
“Auntie Emelia, do you want to go home with us?” Thomas poked Emelia on her shoulders.
Emelia was infuriated, “Shut the hell up. I don’t want to talk to you!”
She wanted to go into the ward by directing her wheelchair herself so that she no longer needed to entertain these kids. It was unfortunate that the wheelchair somehow malfunctioned, so no matter what he pressed, the wheelchair would not budge. She could not even roll the wheels by herself.
“Auntie Emelia, if you let us in, we will fix your wheelchair for you,” Mackenzie came over after making the phone call. She was putting on a huge smile while saying that.
Emelia had a cold expression on her face, and with how scary her eyes looked, she was an intimidating presence. However, Thomas and Madeline were not afraid of her.
“You guys have done something to my wheelchair, haven’t you?”
Emelia knew very well about their extraordinary intellect.
“Auntie Emelia, I forgot to introduce to you our elder brother. His name is Colton. We resemble each other, right? In fact, he looks more like our daddy.”
Mackenzie shoved Colton to Emelia, and she continued to smile very brightly.
A surprised look was written over Emelia’s face now, “Your daddy? Did you find your daddy?”
Thomas nodded quickly, “Yes, we have. He’s really handsome. He’s more handsome than our
godfather, and he’s going to give us another sister with mommy.”
Emelia felt a wave of emotion sweeping her. She should feel happy that her son could finally break free of Madeline’s curse. His life would no longer be adversely affected by her.
However, she also felt worried about this new fact. She wondered how his son would react once he learned of this.
Perhaps he would blame her for how things had developed. If Emelia did not shun Madeline and the kids, they would not have gone back to look for her ex-husband in the first place.
“Attention, the family member of the patient in ward 36. The patient has just woken up, and we are going in to take his vitals.” A nurse suddenly opened the door and announced.
