The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 199

"Seraphina, I am simply telling you the truth."

"You shouldn't be attacking me just because he chose to drink until his stomach bled."

Madeline replied with absolute coolness.

"We were only married for six months before he packed up and moved to San Francisco without a single word."

"And now, we're officially separated. It's perfectly normal that I am completely out of the loop regarding his life."

"I'll go see him so no one on the inside has any reason to gossip."

With that, Madeline didn't wait for a reply and hung up the phone.

Sloane had also been completely awoken by the exchange. Sporting wildly messy hair, she stared at Madeline.

"Seriously, is everyone in the Yates family actually out of their minds?"

"Didn't York specifically claim that getting a divorce right after his promotion would look bad? So why the hell is his entire family blaming you the second something goes wrong with him?"

"Can't the Yates family take responsibility for their own damn son?"

"Come on, I'm going with you. I want to see exactly what kind of garbage that family is going to spew to your face."

Sloane practically launched herself out of bed, but Madeline quickly stopped her.

"Don't bother, I can handle this myself. Save your relentless scheming for that ridiculous stepmother of yours."

Half an hour later, Madeline arrived at the hospital. York was out of the emergency room, but he still hadn't regained consciousness.

Sienna had also shown up. She didn't even have any makeup on, clearly having rushed over the second she got the news.

"Madeline," Sienna started, hesitantly biting her lip. "Whatever misunderstandings you and York have, you really need to clear the air. Watching you two torture each other like this is agonizing for everyone else."

Madeline looked momentarily confused before letting out a dry laugh.

"Sienna, you're completely misreading the situation."

"There is absolutely no misunderstanding between the two of us."

"Him drinking himself into a hospital bed has nothing to do with me."

"Madeline, how can you be so incredibly heartless?"

Felicity, holding a freshly washed plate of fruit, stood a short distance away, glaring at her with profound resentment.
