The Queen's Back

Speaking of this, Jeremy was also angry. After Beatrice and her daughter were chased out of the Clem family, he became even more careful. He was afraid that he would say or do something wrong, which gave Bernard and Jane a reason to chase him out. He spoke carefully every day to please them, but the Clem family didn't buy it, especially Mona. Ever since Mona found out that he was not her biological father, she stopped calling him father.

Seeing that Jeremy was already hesitating, Beatrice said, "Jeremy you know that we killed Emily. If Albert finds out, will he forgive you, his father? I'm afraid he will hate you.

"You also know that Barbara has always wanted to replace Mona. If she knew that you gave up at a critical moment, she would not forgive you. Do you want your son and daughter to hate you? In the end, you would really be alone.

"So you have to snatch the Clem Group. You have to continue drugging Bernard. The doctors and police won't be able to detect this medicine. Just like Emily, he will die in an accident.-It has nothing to do with us."

Jeremy looked up and met Beatrice's hateful eyes. He could not help but nod. 'Yes, I've worked hard for Clem Group for so long. Clem Group should be mine.'

It was the hospital ward. On New Year's Eve, there were loud firecrackers and the sound of children playing. It was the same even at the hospital.

However, the festive atmosphere outside had nothing to do with the gloomy atmosphere in the ward. The people in the ward were immersed in sorrow.

On the hospital bed, Bernard slowly opened his eyes. He felt weak all over as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out. He muttered, "Water, I want to drink water."

Jane, who was crying beside Bernard's bed, immediately sat up when she heard Bernard's voice. She went to pour water for Bernard. Mona, who was sitting on the sofa, was the same. She immediately woke up from her sleep and looked at Bernard with pleasant surprise. Maxwell quickly helped Mona up.

Mona and Maxwell rolled the bed up a little to a comfortable angle. Mona gently helped Bernard up. Jane took a cotton swab and moistened Bernard's lips.

Maxwell called the doctor over. At this moment, Albert, who had just returned from the army, happened to arrive at the door of the ward and heard the news that Bernard had woken up. His heart, which had been in his throat, finally calmed down. He did not have the time to exchange too many pleasantries with Maxwell and directly walked in.

When he saw Bernard lying on the hospital bed, looking weak as if he had aged a few years, he could not remain calm and walked over to shake Bernard's hand.

Although he was usually mischievous, playing games, skipping classes, and fighting, and Bernard had punished him a lot for this, he respected Bernard very much in his heart. Now that he saw Bernard like this, his heart only ached.

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Albert asked as he held Bernard's hand tightly.

On the hospital bed, Bernard shook his head with difficulty and said weakly, "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I keep wanting to sleep.

Perhaps because he was old, his physical fitness could not keep up. He had no choice but to admit that he was old.

"It's alright. Grandpa, you should sleep for a while. We are all here to protect you!" Mona quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Although the doctor said that Bernard was just old and had unexpectedly fainted, she clearly realized that after Bernard woke up, his body was exhausted and his expression seemed to be a little serious.

At this moment, Maxwell walked in with the doctor. Maxwell nodded at Mona, indicating that everything would be fine and telling Mona to relax. Mona walked to Maxwell to make room for the doctor. Maxwell took the opportunity to hold Mona's hand, wanting to give her strength.

He didn't want such a thing to happen, but he didn't know how to comfort Mona. He could only get Nigel to contact a foreign hospital overnight to see if he could make Bernard recover faster.

The doctor examined Bernard and said, "He's fine now that he's awake. It's just that during this period of time, you have to pay attention to his dict. It's mainly light. He'll be under observation in the hospital for a few days. However, he fainted very strangely. He fell down just like that. You should pay more attention to him in the future."

The Clem family came to the hospital for a checkup every once in a while. The last time Bernard came, he was very healthy. It was very strange that he fainted for no reason. Moreover, the cause of the illness was unknown. It could only be said that life was fragile. Mona nodded and sent the doctor out. She secretly wiped her tears at the door of the ward alone. The doctor's words were ambiguous. He meant that he did not know the cause of Bernard's fainting and did not know what caused it.

If they did not know the cause of the illness, it would be very difficult to completely cure it.

At this moment, Mona saw Jeremy walking toward her with a lunch box. She quickly wiped the tears off her face.

"Mona, I heard that Dad woke up. Is everything alright?" Jeremy asked. He was still a little worried. After he did something bad, he was afraid that someone would find out.

Mona shook her head and said, "He's fine." With that, she pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.

When Jeremy left yesterday morning, they did not know. Mona had probably gone to prepare food for Bernard.

When the two of them went in, Bernard had already fallen asleep. Maxwell looked at Bernard on the hospital bed and fell into deep thought. 'Hasn't he been awake for too short a time?'

Bernard couldn't eat the food that Jeremy brought over, and the others in the ward were not in the mood to eat this meal, so they placed it on the table.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

At noon, Polly came to the hospital with food. Jane led the way into the living room and gently closed the door of Bernard's

room.

Bernard lived in a high-class ward. The living room, kitchen, and bathroom were all available, but no one was in the mood to visit.

After all, it was Christmas. The family could not be immersed in sorrow forever. Jane thought that this was not what Bernard wanted to see.

The family sat at the dining table. There were delicacies on the table, and just the smell alone wafted out of the ward.

Mona helped Jane to the main seat. If one looked closely, they would notice that a few strands of silver hair had already appeared on her head overnight.

"Quick, everyone, let's eat. Today is Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is Christmas," Jane said as she looked at the dishes on the

table.

However, there were fewer people for this year's reunion dinner. Most importantly, Bernard was still lying on the hospital bed in the next room. The food seemed to have lost its taste. 2/3
