The Queen's Back

Chapter 256

A feeling of suspicion crept over Mona at the thought of the driver's action.

If the driver was nervous and confused the brake and the accelerator, he couldn't have forgotten to turn the steering wheel. This didn't make sense.

He knew there were two lives in front of him, but he still rushed over. He did it on purpose.

Moreover, Mona could vaguely hear the conversation between Maxwell and Albert. The driver wanted to die.

This didn't make any sense. If the driver did not do it on purpose, he would quibble and fight for a life sentence, or even lighter punishment. But he did not even fight for it and said that he would pay with his life.

It was as if he already knew the outcome when he decided to crash into Mona.

If someone was behind, Mona would not let the villain off. She had to avenge Sweet Berry.

Maxwell's heart ached when he saw Mona's swollen eyes from crying. He brushed his thumb across Mona's nose and wiped away the last tear for her.

"I've asked Nigel to investigate. I'll let you know as soon as there's something. Mona, I'll get you some water and wash your face," Maxwell said.

Mopá felt that her eyes were filled with tears that blocked her vision. She nodded.

After Maxwell left, Mona looked at the ceiling above her head, touched her belly, and said with a trembling voice, "Sweet Berry, Mommy will never forget you. Even though I'll have other children one day, you will always be my baby." Although Mona was not ready to be a mother when she had this child, the baby had been with her for more than three months and she had grown attached to the baby.

And her love for her children was inherent.

Women were weak to begin with, but as mothers, they were tough.

Mona would not allow anyone who killed her child to live well and happily in this world.

Maxwell got hot water from the bathroom and wet the towel. He gently dabbed Mona's face with it and wiped away the tears on her face.

"Mona, Jane made egg soup and noodles. What would you like to eat?" Maxwell tried to lower his voice so that Mona would be less uncomfortable.

Mona had no appetite. She felt her stomach churning, but when she met Maxwell's worried gaze, she nodded. "Anything is fine."

Anyway, she was not in the mood to enjoy the delicious food. It did not matter what she ate.

Soon, Jane had the breakfast and lunch brought in. The nurse Maxwell called over raised the bed and set up a dining table on the bed with delicious food.

Because Mona had a car accident and had a miscarriage, she was in her confinement period. Jane was especially careful with her food. She made it after following the doctor's advice.

Maxwell picked up the egg soup and scooped a spoonful. He blew it to cool it down and brought it to Mona's mouth.

Mona was overcome with a feeling of nausea at the sight of it. However, when she saw the expectant gazes of Maxwell and

the others, she endured the discomfort and ate it.

Maxwell was delighted to see her eating. He quickly prepared a second spoonful.

Mona finished half a bowl and felt that she would throw up if she ate any more. She waved at Maxwell.

"Maxwell, I can't eat anymore. You should eat more. Your lips are pale." Mona looked at Maxwell's pale lips and advised.

She could tell that Maxwell had not eaten for a long time. If this continued, his health might break down.

Maxwell said hoarsely, "Okay."

He then grabbed some bites. He was so hungry that he was numb. Even his stomach felt cold.

Since Mona's accident, Maxwell had only drunk a few mouthfuls of water. When Polly brought food over last night, Maxwell was too worried about Mona to eat.

In the afternoon, Mona was no longer asleep. However, she could not help but cry at the thought of her unborn baby.

In the middle.

of the afternoon, the Carter family came to visit Mona with gifts. Richard took the lead to go in, but he was stopped by Maxwell, who had just come out of the ward.

"Maxwell, is Mona alright? How could she have a miscarriage?" Richard said regretfully.

Although his last conversation with Mona ended in an unpleasant ending, Richard was looking forward to the birth of the baby.

Because this was the Carter family's descendant, his great-grandchild.

Now that the child was gone, Richard blamed Mona and thought she should've stayed at home when she was already three months pregnant.

"She's out of danger. If there's nothing else, please leave. My wife is resting here," Maxwell said calmly.

"Richard?" Richard repeated. Maxwell intended to cut ties with the Carter family. He did not even call Richard grandfather.

"Maxwell, how can you talk to your Grandpa like that? Apologize Before Maxwell could say anything, Donald shouted angrily at Maxwell.

Donald thought, 'As expected, this bastard is hard-hearted. Richard is in charge of the company's business, and he doesn't want to interfere. 'Maxwell is ambitious. So what if he had helped to manage the company for a few years? I can't believe he wants to monopolize it. 'The Carter family never treated him unfairly, yet he has decided to sever ties with us.

'He thought that by doing so, he would be able to return to the Carter family and get control of the company. Maxwell is overthinking."

"I've made it very clear that night. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Carter family. If you make a fuss here, I'll get the security guards to send you out," Maxwell said coldly.

"Alright, Maxwell. If you have the guts, don't ever return to the Carter family," Donald said, gritting his teeth. With that, he led the way out of the ward.

Richard glanced at Maxwell, shook his head, and left the ward.

Gordon was glad to see this. Seeing that the two people who had just left had not gone far, Gordon deliberately said, "Maxwell, when you calm down, apologize to your Grandpa and Dad. I'll go."

Maxwell watched the crowd leave calmly. The only person who could make his mood fluctuate was Mona, or someone or something related to Mona.
