Madeline felt the scorching pain in her cheek, but she was afraid that if she slapped herself too lightly, Mya would not be satisfied, and then the Calder Group's might face obstacles.
She finally calmed down and realized that she shouldn't mess with Mya.
At that, she noticed they were all looking at the door. Madeline looked over and saw Finnley standing at the door of the room with a surprised look in his eyes! Madeline's heart skipped a beat. Had he seen everything?
She was extremely embarrassed.
She didn't know how to explain it.
"What did you buy?" Mya asked, trying to ease the embarrassment.
Then she smiled gently and walked toward Finnley. She took the bags from his hand, "Did you buy breakfast for Mr. and Mrs. Calder?"
"I'll go buy some more." Finnley turned to leave. What a pity! He came back late and missed the fun part.
What exactly happened? Why did Madeline slap herself in the face?
But Finnley was sure that even if they were in the same room, Mya could protect herself.
So he was relieved and hurried downstairs to buy more food.
"Mr. and Mrs. Calder."
In the hospital room, Mya handed the breakfast to them. "You must not have had breakfast, right? Here."
Madeline was a little embarrassed. She turned her eyes at Pierre, who then took it over calmly, "Thank you."
Mya looked at Eloise, who was lying in bed, "Dr. Watson is a brilliant doctor, and he will come over as soon as he gets the time. I believe Eloise will wake up soon with him here."
She looked at Pierre, "Don't worry. When she wakes up, you should talk to her or find her a therapist if necessary. I'm sure it's more useful than having Finnley here."
Madeline was silent while Pierre nodded, took the breakfast, put his arm around his wife's shoulder and left.
In the corridor, he whispered in Madeline's ear, "We have a project that needs the government's permission. Be careful not to mess with her."
"Is she Finnley's type?" Madeline still couldn't figure it out. "She doesn't look like a lady at all!"
