The Queen's Back

Before Mona asked this question, Maxwell's eyes were fixed on her. He was afraid that if he looked away, Mona would fall unconscious again.

After hearing Mona's question. Maxwell opened his thin lips, at a loss for what to say.

Maxwell's long silence had told Mona the child was gone.

"Maxwell, the baby said she was not ready and would come to us after a while.

"But I know it was my fault. I didn't protect our child well. You can blame me. If I listened to you and didn't attend Star's opening ceremony, this wouldn't have happened and the baby would've been fine," Mona sobbed, tears flowing down her pale face and drenching the pillow.

Maxwell comforted, "Mona, don't blame yourself. This wasn't your fault. No one expected this to happen. The driver confused the brake and the accelerator. He should die. We'll have children one day

He stretched out his hand and wiped tears on Mona with a trembling hand.

Mona's body was racked with sobs. Her lower abdomen was in extreme pain. She shook her head at Maxwell.

"It's all my fault. As a mother, I didn't protect Sweet Berry well. Even if I have another child, she's not Sweet Berry." Maxwell didn't know what to say to stop Mona from blaming herself.

At this moment, Jane, Bernard, and Albert walked in together after breakfast. They saw Mona crying on the bed. "Mona, it's good that you're awake. Thank goodness," Jane said excitedly as she walked towards Mona with tears.

Jane sat by Mona's bed. Her hand trembled slightly as she reached out to Mona's cheek.

"Grandma, Sweet Berry is gone. It's all my fault. I killed my child," Mona said, almost breaking down.

Mona cried non-stop. After a while, her eyes closed unconsciously and she fainted again.

Maxwell's heart skipped a beat. Jane and Bernard called Mona several times but were met with no response. Then, Albert hurriedly called the doctor over.

The doctor did a full body checkup on Mona and said, "The patient is fine. She just woke up and her body is weak. She got carried away and fainted."

Hearing this, Maxwell and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

After the doctor left, Maxwell looked at Mona's sleeping face. He touched Mona's forehead with her big hand and said to Jane, "Jane, Bernard, Mona, please wait for me. I'll be back after making a call." Jane quickly agreed.

Maxwell took an affectionate look at Mona before leaving the ward. Perhaps it was because he did not sleep the entire night and donated blood to Mona with an empty stomach, he almost fainted when he got up. He hurriedly placed his hand on the table and took a few sips of water before leaving the ward.

He walked to the stairs and called Nigel.

"Get someone to check on the driver and see who he has been in contact with these days. Also, check if his account has been credited recently. Oh, no, check his family or friends' accounts," Maxwell said in a hoarse voice.

Maxwell didn't think a thriver with 5 years driving experience would confuse the brake and the accelerator.

Maxwell suspected that the driver hit Mona on purpose.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, Maxwell wanted to get to the bottom of it.

If someone was behind this, Maxwell would make the person pay the price and avenge Sweet Berry and Mona.

"Alright, Mr. Carter. I'll get someone to investigate. I'll leave everything in the company to Bud."

Maxwell hummed and hung up.

However, when he turned around and saw Barbara walking over his gaze immediately turned fierce.

Barbara did not expect to be lucky to meet Maxwell the moment she arrived. Now that Mona was unconscious, she thought Maxwell needed a company at this time.

"Maxwell, don't be too sad. Mona is blessed. She will wake up." Barbara comforted him with pleasure.

She did not know Mona had woken up and then fainted again.

"Get lost!" Maxwell roared.

Barbara was on the verge of tears. She did not understand why Maxwell was so good and gentle to Mona but so cold to her.

Mona was pretty, but Barbara believed she was attractive too.

She didn't understand why Maxwell was so annoyed because she didn't do anything wrong.

She figured Mona must have spoken ill of her in front of Maxwell. That was why Maxwell treated her like this.

Barbara wished Mona dead badly.

"Maxwell, did 1 do something wrong? Why are you shouting at me?" Barbara said aggrievedly.

Any other man other than Maxwell would feel guilty towards Barbara.

"Go away. Mona's resting. If I see you in the ward, I'll get the bodyguards to throw you out." Maxwell walked towards the ward after saying that.

He knew that Mona didn't like Barbara, and neither did he. Mona was in a bad mood. If she saw Barbara, she would feel even

worse.

Therefore, Barbara should better not appear in front of Mona.

Barbara looked at Maxwell's tall back and dug her fingers into her nails. She swore to herself that she would break them up.

In this life, she would do her best to destroy Mona's happiness.

Maxwell returned to the ward. He looked at Mona lying on the hospital bed and hoped that she would wake up soon and get out of the grief.

When Mona woke up again, it was afternoon. She touched her belly, overwhelmed with sadness.

Maxwell knew that Mona was awake and crying. He did not disturb her and only reached out to wipe tears for Mona.

Sweet Berry was gone. He was just as upset as Mona, but he could not show it. Otherwise, Mona would feel even more guilty.

Maxwell was afraid that Mona blamed herself.

Mona was tired from crying, She opened her swollen eyes and looked at Maxwell. "I, I think there might be something wrong with the driver. Maxwell, get someone to check."

When she was crying just now, Mona thought back to the moment when the car rushed over. The driver clearly had a chance to turn the steering wheel and go to the empty space beside, but he didn't.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
