Chapter 702
Maxim didn’t dodge, and the bowl of scalding porridge hit him directly in the chest, instantly spilling white porridge all over his hospital
gown.
Gemma hadn’t expected that he wouldn’t dodge, her face instantly turned incredibly ugly.
Maxim’s expression was icy as he stared at Gemma, speaking deliberately, “Mrs. Cameron, out of respect for you being Briana’s mother. I will let it slide this time, but if there’s a next time…”
Gemma had also reacted by now, sneering, “What if there is a next time? Can you eat me? I warn you, don’t appear in front of Briana again, otherwise the Yoder Group can forget about continuing to develop in Haseton!”
No sooner had the words fallen than Briana Cameron hurriedly said. “Mom, stop talking!”
Maxim had just saved her after all. Even though his intentions were not pure now, it was true that she owed him a huge favor. The way Gemma was treating him made her feel a pang of guilt.
Gemma glanced at Briana Cameron, saying irritably, “Once you’re discharged, I’ll arrange a blind date for you. You can’t be with that heartless man!”
Maxim didn’t speak again, he turned to look at Briana Cameron and said, “I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.”
After he left, Gemma immediately hurried to Briana Cameron’s side, her face filled with worry as she asked, “He didn’t do anything to you,
did he?”
“No, don’t interfere with my affairs with him in the future. I can handle it myself.”
“If you really could handle it well, you wouldn’t have let him step into this ward today.”
Briana Cameron frowned, looking at Gemma with some confusion. “Mom, although Maxim treated me as a substitute for his ex-wife, you don’t have to react so strongly, do you? It’s as if he really did something to wrong me.”
Gemma’s face stiffened, then she said coldly, “Briana, you probably don’t know about what happened three years ago. At that time, Maxim’s ex-wife and his ex-girlfriend were both kidnapped by his cousin, who forced him to choose who to save. Maxim didn’t even think before choosing his ex-girlfriend. What kind of good man do you think he could be?!”
Upon hearing these words, Briana Cameron felt a pang of pain in her heart and couldn’t help but purse her lips.
Why did she feel a pang of pain in her heart upon hearing this? Was she also grieving for Maxim’s deceased ex-wife?
