The Queen's Back

Maxwell was taller than Hannah. He put on a cold face and clenched his fists as if he were about to punch her. Hannah was afraid upon seeing this. She stepped back and cried, "Now you're trying to punch a defenseless woman in a hospital?"

Mona looked at the cornered Hannah. She kept cursing at Maxwell while passersby glanced at them and murmured. Afterward, Mona walked to Maxwell's side and said coldly, "Mrs Powers, you heard it yourself. It was Teddy's own decision to block the knife for me. I didn't force him. You don't have to argue with me here. What good will it do you to attract other people's attention?"

Mona shook her head and added. T'm sorry that he got injured because of me, and I won't argue with you about the slap you gave me. However, I don't mind calling the security if you're trying to make a scenic."

Hannah was so angry that her face stiffened. She pointed at More's face and scolded, "How can there be a heartless woman like you in this world? My son is in the emergency room, and instead of feeling guilty, you're threatening me? You're the reason he's in that room!"

Hannah paused briefly and added, "When you were with my son, I treated you as my daughter. But now, you've curried favor with someone richer, more powerful, and you're kicking my son away. What kind of creature are you?"

As Hannah spoke, she wanted to rush over and slap Mona to vent her anger. However, before she could raise her hand, Maxwell thing her away. Her back hit the wall behind her. It was so painful that she coughed in pain.

Hannah immediately burst into tears and scolded Mona and Maxwell for being shameless. At the same time, she slapped her hands on the ground to create a louder sound in an attempt to attract more people's attention. Hearing Hannah's wail. everyone started looking at Mona in disdain. "That woman looks beautiful, but her inside is rotten. Typical entled bitch."

"I know. Her son is injured because of that slut. But instead of giving that poor lady space, she and her partner decided to corner her. So uncultured. At least show some empathy!"

They are both terrible people and deserve each other. But I hope their relationship crumbles just as bad as what they've done to that poor lady and her son."

The surrounding discussion did not make Mona angry. She did not have the mood or energy to explain the full picture, However, Maxwell did not like it when others said those things. He looked at them coldly.

"What are you looking at? Are you looking for a beating?" Maxwell's voice was soft, and he raised his palm at the people around him. It seemed he would hit anyone who dared to say another word.

Most of the people around them were on Hannah's side. But they obediently shut their mouths upon facing Maxwell's threat. Finally, only Hannah's crying echoed in the corridor.

Maxwell hugged Mona in his arms. When Teddy blocked the knife for Mona just now, even though Mona did not see the moment he got stabbed, she saw Teddy covered in blood. She was mortified regardless. Mona's hand gripped the hem of Maxwell's lower back tightly. She was quite terrified and uneasy. Maxwell, he lost a lot of blood. Do you think he..."

Mona recalled Teddy's last expression. His face was pale, and his lips were discolored

Maxwell knew who Mona was talking about. At that moment, he could not care less about jealousy and hugged Mona tighter. He comforted her. "Mona, don't worry. He'll be fine." But Maxwell did not know how bad Teddy's injuries were, He did not even know if Teddy could be saved.

Maxwell only hoped Teddy to be strong enough to survive because Maxwell's image was on the line. If Teddy died, Mona would live in guilt for the rest of her life, and her mind would only think of Teddy and his sacrifice. This way, Mona would never forget Teddy, which was bad for Maxwell.

Maxwell was so petty that he only hoped he was the only one in Mona's heart. Especially since Teddy was Mona's ex-boyfriend, the person she had loved for more than four years.

"If something happens to Teddy, I will owe him my life." Mona's poice was trembling.

Even if Teddy had blocked the knife for her, he was still complici in Mona's murder attempt back then. Objectively speaking, their scores were even. However, thinking Teddy passed away, Mona felt somewhat empty. She would gladly take as many slaps from Hannah if that happened.

Even after what she had with Teddy, Mona remained the kind and compassionate woman she always had been. She could not be completely cold-blooded.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Maxwell listened to Mona's trembling voice. He raised his hand and rubbed her soft hair. "It's fine. With me around, if anything happens to him, 171 bear it with you." He was also afraid that Teddy's life would be short. If he died, Mona would remember him forever. Meanwhile, Ava waited for Mona at the airport. She was getting impatient. But when saw Mona's accident through the news. she hurriedly took a taxi to the hospital and urged the driver to hurry. If anything happened to Mona, she would hate herself for the rest of her life.

Upon seeing Mona was fine, Ava grabbed her hand and cried. On her way, she was worried that something had happened to Mona.

Teddy was also lucky. The knife happened to avoid his vital organs. Even though he was unconscious, the doctor said he would make a full recovery.

Mona learned that Teddy was out of danger. She subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief and went limp in Maxwell's arms. Her body was almost exhausted. Maxwell held Mona's cold hands in his hands, trying to warm her up.

Meanwhile, when Hannah discovered her son was fine, she clasped her hands together and praised the universe. She cried and laughed.

The day was getting late, but Teddy was still unconscious Maxwell was worried that Mona would get into another accident He was worried her body would not be able to cope with the stress. So, he asked Nigel and Haley, who had rushed over lat to keep an eye on her. Maxwell brought Mona back to the ward to rest with Barbara and Ava. Mona still had lingering fear in her heart. Even though Teddy was out of danger, she was still afraid. The scene of Jeremy wanting to kill her still floated before her eyes.

As Mona closed her eyes, she felt her body covered in blood. Her ears buzzed with the sound of multiple gunshots.
