"Wendy, what are you doing? You're putting me in an awkward position”
After Maddox left, Old Master Shen looked at Wendy with some complaints.
"Grandpa; Wendy said softly with a smile, “I have a reason for doing this:
"What reason?” Old Master Shen frowned.
“I'm making concessions in order to gain advantages. So Maddox will not guard against me’
Old Master Shen was surprised, and then he smiled, “So that's the case."
He thought that Wendy was really going to dissolve the engagement, but fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
Old Master Shen instantly felt much more at ease. He smiled, "Wendy, you really are a smart girl:
Wendy smiled, “I'm not smart. I came up with this way helplessly”
"No matter what, I will support you unconditionally”
“Thank you, Grandpa”
Wendy smiled. Then, she turned to look at the door. The smile on her face slowly faded away, and her eyes became serious.
Just as Maddox drove away from the Shen's villa, he received a call from Rosiley.
"Rosiley.’ He picked up the phone.
"Maddox, what are you doing?"
Rosiley asked.
Maddox looked at the road in front of the car and replied, "I just came out of my house’
Rosiley was silent for a while, and then she said, "Maddox, Yayoi is sick:
"Sick?" Maddox cried out in alarm and asked anxiously, "Why is she sick?"
“She is having a high fever. She might have caught a cold’
The Shen's villa and Sachin’s villa were in completely opposite directions, one in the south and the other in the north.
Normally, it would be a half an hour drive, but Maddox only spent about ten minutes to arrive at Sachin's villa. On the way, he
ran several red lights and was in a completely reckless state.
When Rosiley saw him, she was especially shocked. "Why did you arrive so quickly?"
“How's Yayoi?" Maddox did not pay attention to what she asked. The first thing he asked about was Yayoi's situation.
“The fever is down, but she's not awake yet” Rosiley turned around and let him stand beside the bed.
Maddox sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch Yayoi's forehead. When he touched her cold forehead, he
breathed a sigh of relief.
Yayoi's face was very pale, and her lips were no longer as red as usual. He caressed her cheeks worriedly.
“It was a sudden fever. It scared me’ Rosiley said softly.
Rosiley still felt a lingering fear when she saw Yayoi's condition in the morning.
Rosiley tilted her head to watch Maddox show his compassion naturally. She pursed her lips and thought for a moment before
saying, "Maddox, you've ignored Yayoi recently”
Maddox's fingertips paused and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. "I don't want to, but...”
"How's grandpa?"
Rosiley suddenly changed the subject, and Maddox was puzzled for a moment. He immediately reacted and shrugged helplessly, "Nothing changes. He is the same as before”
Rosiley frowned slightly and asked, "Is he really sick?"
Maddox pondered and said, "He's not really sick. But I only found out today that he has angina pectoris”
“Angina pectoris?" Rosiley was shocked, "So he can't be freaked out?”
“Yes.” Maddox nodded. “Today, I expressed my attitude to grandpa again. I angered him. He kept covering his chest and his
face turned pale. Fortunately, Wendy came later and brought him some medicine. He ate the medicine and recovered"
