Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 130

The women who rushed to get into the ward stopped when they saw that the door opened. They were so shocked.

Madeline put a smile on her face and complained, "Jean, we came here to visit you, but the nurse won't let us in."

The nurse looked at Jean and embarrassingly said, "Mrs. Qi, Mr. Qi instructed me to make sure that you have a quiet rest. He said that no one should bother you."

"I'll talk to him when he comes back. They are my friends. Let them in, " Jean replied. Then, she turned around and walked inside the ward with a blank facial expression. The women outside the ward felt delighted when they heard that Jean claimed them to be her friends.

"Have a seat." She apathetically said as she pointed to the couch.

Madeline put the fruit basket and the flowers on the table. She wore a smile and asked, "Jean, how are you? Are you feeling better now?"

"Yeah. We were so worried about you these past few days. We planned to visit you when you get better. But we didn't expect that we would be blocked by the nurse outside the ward." Maggie couldn't help but complain.

The other two women looked at each other eye to eye as they smiled, and nodded, "Right. We have been so concerned about your condition recently."

Jean looked at them quietly. She didn't say anything when she saw their fake concerns and gestures. After a while, those women kept talking and asking a lot of absurd questions to her. "We were so worried about you. Do you feel better now? Where's Mr. Qi? Sorry if we just visited you now. We really wanted to visit you earlier."

Jean suddenly realized that it was not so bad to stay in the hospital after all. For sure, it was boring. But at least, she enjoyed the peace and tranquility there.

"Jean, are you alright? Why aren't you talking?" Zabrina asked when she saw that Jean just kept silent.

Jean raised her eyebrows. Then, she looked up and asked, "I had a vague memory that you pushed me when I was swept away by the waves."

The room instantly got quiet after she dropped her words. They were happily talking a while ago. But the air inside the ward seemed to stop that moment. No one suddenly dared to talk.

Madeline's smile froze on her face. A hint of surprise was shown in her eyes. Then, she confusingly asked, "What do you mean, Jean?"

"I didn't mean anything. I'm just wondering. I felt that someone pushed and pressed me down when I was struggling to get out of the water." Jean pretended that she didn't know about anything. She pretended that she was wondering about what really happened that time. Then, she stared at Madeline with her innocent eyes.

"How was that possible?" Madeline firmly shook her head and twinkled her beautiful eyes. She thought for a while and explained, "It was probably because the wave came so fast. We were all trying to win the game, so nobody noticed that you were pushed into the water. We were also packed there together. If we had known about what happened to you, we should have..."

She paused for a second and looked at the other women who were standing beside her.

The other two women saw her gestures and nodded immediately. Then, they said with an innocent voice, "Yeah. We didn't notice what happened to you. But it was still our fault. We failed to take care of you. If we had just closely looked after you, these things would have not happened." Wendy said with a fake smile on her face.

"Really? But I vaguely remember that I couldn't get out of the water because you kept on pressing me down." Jean said with a devious smile on her face. The other women were so nervous that they hadn't noticed her smile.

"The scene was too chaotic. Maybe that's the reason why we didn't notice what happened to you." Wendy was still reluctantly trying to explain.

Jean didn't want the gloves to come off. So she lightly smiled and answered, "Yeah. That's probably the reason why."

They heaved sigh of relief when they saw that Jean believed their explanation. Then they talked nicely to Jean and pretended that they were concerned about her condition.

Although Jean was not so acquainted with them, she knew them pretty well.

They would've not visited her without any intentions. They were surely guilty about what they did. But there must be some other purpose why they went there.

After ten minutes, Madeline started to expose their real purpose in visiting her that day.
