The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 185

When Jane and Bernard saw Mona and Maxwell enter, Jane quickly held Mona's hand and said anxiously, "Mona, you're here. Please, persuade Barbara. She's taking things too hard and wants to commit suicide!"

In the past, Barbara and Mona were close. They had a good relationship. Since Barbara wanted to commit suicide, Jane believed Mona's words would work. However, Jane had no idea that their relationship had crumbled. They weren't sisters anymore.

Mona looked coldly at Barbara on the hospital bed. Barbara's face looked lifeless, and her eyes were filled with despair. She curled up in the corner of the hospital bed. If Mona did not understand Barbara's character, she would have been fooled by her realistic acting skills.

Mona didn't know why Barbara became a designer. With her acting skills, it would be a pity if she didn't go to the entertainment industry. "Suicide? Really? Barbara, why are you trying to kill yourself?" Mona smirked slightly, and her tone had a hint of mockery.

Barbara met Mona's gaze, and her heart skipped a beat. She felt Mona could see through her tricks and her heart could not help but tremble.

However, Barbara had a solid alibi to assure Mona. Beatrice had killed Emily, and she could use the crime as the base of her excuse. Barbara could say she disagreed with Beatrice's actions and was ashamed of being her daughter. Hence, she thought of committing suicide.

"Mona, you don't believe me? I can't live in this world anymore. I don't have a family anymore. I think my existence is a mistake," Barbara said aggrievedly. Her slender hands clasped Mona's hand, and her eyes were filled with despair.

"Barbara, what do you mean you don't have a family? You still have me, your grandfather, your grandmother, and your cousin. You have Albert too. We all have your back," Bernard said.

Bernard was aggrieved to see such a young lady lose all hope in life. He couldn't help but think about how Beatrice had raised her.

"Really? Are you all my family?" Barbara asked curiously.

Jane and Bernard both nodded. They quickly agreed. Only Mona looked at Barbara with a cold expression.

"What about my cousin? Does my cousin still think I'm part of this family?" Barbara asked.

For a moment, Bernard and Jane looked at Mona and nodded at her. "Of course. Barbara, now you need to rest," Mona said unwillingly.

After what happened, Bernard was worried about Barbara living alone. So, it was better to let her live in the Clem Family's residence. "It's just like what Mona said. Barbara, take care of yourself first. After you're discharged, we'll take you..."

Before he could finish, Mona interrupted. "Barbara, have a good rest first. Maxwell has something to discuss with Grandpa."

After Mona finished speaking, he pulled Bernard out of the ward. Maxwell naturally followed behind.

For a moment, only Barbara and Jane were left in the room. Barbara looked at Mona. She was about to achieve her goal. She was about to hear what Bernard had to say. However, Mona interrupted. She wondered if there would be any changes after Bernard and Mona left. Hence, she looked at Jane pitifully. "Grandma, I don't want to live alone. Can I stay with you?"
