Chapter 262 Falling for Her
Claudia’s heart was also pounding, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Given Thoma s’s personality, the phone call she made wouldn’t have driven Thomas to despair. Thomas was fundamentally selfish, and such people value their lives even more.
“Mom, calm down, I’ve already had someone keep an eye on it. Let’s wait for news.”
She glanced at her phone and sure enough, Pedro had quickly sent the
message.
Pedro: Thomas was being treated at the General Hospital of Vencumfield, and he was not in a life- threatening situation at the moment. I was investigating the cause, so don’t worry. This is our territory, nothing will go wrong.
Although Pedro said so, Claudia’s heart was left hanging in mid-air.
The last time Pedro tracked Tristen, he failed. Although it was later found out that it was due to Magnus, she was still very worried.
After all, she had been silent for three years, so it wasn’t impossible for other forces to emerge now.
Perhaps the Enigma organization was no longer the most formidable
one.
But she still replied to Pedro, “Be careful.”
Soon, she took Emily to the General Hospital of Vencumfield.
In the hospital, by Thoma s’s sickbed, Felicia was holding a basin of water, wiping Thoma s’s body.
“You were really good to your husband.”
On the adjacent sickbed, an old man was looking at Thomas with envy.
He was already in his seventies or eighties, and had recently been hospitalized for cardiovascular disease. Let alone his spouse taking care of him, even his children were not by his side, only willing to pay for a caregiver.
Hearing the person next to her say this, Felicia’s face instantly turned red to the root of her neck. As she wiped Thomas, she laughed weakly, “A husband and wife should support each other, especially when they get older. When we were young, we always thought we could leave each other, but in fact, when we get old, it’s the most precious to stick to each other.”
As she spoke, she washed the towel clean. The old man next to her nodded repeatedly, “I didn’t expect you to be so young, yet see things so clearly.”

Thomas was still unconscious, but because he had fallen into the water, it was basically Felicia who had changed his clothes.
Outside the door, Emily, who had been listening for who knows how long, seemed to have her feet rooted to the spot.
Claudia stood by, with a distressed look on her face.
She knew, Emily had hesitated again.
This Felicia, she really was a lingering ghost.
She curled her lips, abruptly pushed open the door, and said to Felicia, “Ms. Greer, thank you for taking care of my father. The caregiver fee will be settled with you later.”
Upon seeing Claudia, Felicia’s face turned slightly pale, especially the term “caregiver”, which to her was a blatant insult.
“Ms. Seraphina, I was not a caregiver…”
“So what are you then? The mistress?”
Felicia’s pupils dilated, her whole body shaking violently.
The old man nearby had also noticed something wrong at this point, staring at them with wide eyes.

Leaving now, Felicia was unwilling. She had been taking care of Thomas closely, hoping to take credit when he woke up. But Thomas hadn’t woken up yet, wouldn’t all her previous efforts be wasted?!
“Ms. Seraphina, I took care of your father all night without even sleeping, and before he even woke up, you wanted to drive me away. Isn’t that rude, even to a caregiver?” Felicia’s eyes were bright, “After all, I am your father’s lifesaver. If I hadn’t helped him change his clothes, he would have frozen to death.”
Outside the door, Emily heard the sound of clothes being washed, her body/shuddered, her eyes filled with despair.
She was a person with emotional cleanliness. The thought that Thoma s’s clothes were changed by Felicia made her lose the courage to
even enter the room.
Claudia hadn’t expected Felicia to be so shameless, daring to speak such blatant words in front of strangers.
She saw Emily about to leave outside the door, a thought struck her, she turned to Felicia and said, “Ms. Greer, thank you for taking care of my father. However, my father is not yet divorced. If you don’t want to be labeled as a mistress and have your work affected, you should know what to do next.”
Was the work affected?! Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Felicia suddenly became anxious.
She knew that Seraphina could walk the talk, let alone that she was a member of the Enigma organization
The thought of Elva’s current predicament made Felicia’s heart sink heavily.
She cast a reluctant glance at Thomas, then picked up left.

When she reached the door, Emily was right in front of her
Upon seeing Emily, Felicia’s face flushed slightly, but she straightened her back and left with neither arrogance nor servility.
Emily stood outside the door without going in. Claudia came over and said to her, “I had the doctor move him to the intensive care unit. You haven’t been sleeping well lately, it would be best to have a nurse accompany him.”
Seeing Thoma s’s sleeping face, Emily shook her head, “I’ll take care of him.”
After all, Thomas had taken care of her for so many years when she was insane.
Seeing Emily’s determination, Claudia didn’t try to dissuade her
anymore.
In the end, Thomas had been married to her for many years, and some
feelings could not be cut off.
In the intensive care unit next to the hospital, Magnus sat in front of the bed, on which Axton was lying.
In those days, Magnus was grounded by him, causing a feud between the grandfather and grandson. Axton was so angry that he had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital.
“The doctor said I don’t have much time left,” Axton glanced at Magnus, sighing heavily. “Before I die, I want to see you get married. The youngest daughter of the Walker family is quite good. She seemed to like you when she came over for dinner last time.”
A blank expression was on Magnus’s face as an image of a pure and charming face gradually surfaced in his mind.
The youngest daughter of the Walker family, named Brynlee, had just graduated from college, where she studied landscape design.
Because she resembled someone, he had looked at her a few more times back then, not expecting it would eventually lead to such a misunderstanding.
“I didn’t like her,” Magnus rejected indifferently, “Grandpa, you’d better not play matchmaker. I can abandon the surname Lamont, and I can also abandon the surname Fleming.”
Axton coughed in frustration, “I know you’re upset with your father. He had an affair with Cicely back then, and the Lamont family had no

choice but to swallow this bitter pill. But your father still cares about you. Brynlee was the one he chose for you. If you marry this girl, everything in the Fleming family will be yours in the future.”
“No need.” Magnus’s indifferent voice remained, each word devoid of any emotion, “Apart from her, I will marry no one else.”
“Fool!” Axton, in anger, picked up the cup next to him and threw it at him, “She’s someone else’s wife now, are you planning to be the other man?! Competing with the Ferguson family for a daughter-in-law, we, the Fleming family, can’t afford to lose face like this!”
Magnus slowly stood up, a hint of impatience showing on his face.
The thought of Horace marrying that woman made his inner agitation feel like a suppressed bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
“Kid, it’s no use being infatuated with her,” Axton took a few deep breaths, his tone gradually becoming calm, “She’s now set her heart on marrying Horace, why don’t you let her?”
“I heard she was married to you for three years, always alone, and your relationship only happened because of the drug Cicely gave you. During those three years, you were close with Rosalie. Did you really think she didn’t mind at all?”
Magnus stood still, with mysterious waves in his eyes and a cold aura surrounding him.
“I didn’t want you to go find her, because I didn’t want you to get

rejected again. She was determined to marry Horace, to forget you, to forget everything about you two, and to start over. If you truly love her, you should learn to let go.”
“Love for a person was not about restraint, but respect.”
It seemed as if Axton had remembered something, his gaze distant and his tone gentle.
It’s a pity that his spouse died early, he only understood this truth when he was old.
He looked at Magnus, who stood there motionless, and let out a slight sigh.
Magnus wasn’t in the right state of mind, who knows what foolish things he might have done if he had gone to find Seraphina.
At that time, it would only push Seraphina further away.
Since Seraphina wanted to start over, Magnus shouldn’t have been living in the past.
Edmond had died, Magnus was supposed to live as Magnus.
After speaking, Axton closed his eyes to rest.
Magnus stood by the bed, his handsome face showing no expression at

Respect… He had once thought about respect.
He respected all her decisions, including agreeing to her divorce.
But in the end?
He was once a demon who had fallen into hell, gradually turning good because of her. But now, he was willing to fall again for her.
