When Maxwell heard the doctor’s words, he subconsciously took two steps back. He vaguely felt that something was amiss. 

Mona looked at Maxwell’s pale face and secretly changed the way she held hands with Maxwell. They interlocked their fingers and tried their best to overlap, leaving no distance between their fingers. 

At this moment, she was very glad that she had asked Maxwell to come to the hospital at the cinema just now. Otherwise, with her understanding of Maxwell, Mona knew that he would regret it. 

Maxwell lowered his head and met Mona’s worried gaze. “Mona, I’m fine.” 

He was just thinking, ‘I saw Richard at noon. No matter how poor his health was at that time, he was not the type who would die when angered. His death is a little strange.’ 

“Okay, I’ll accompany you,” Mona said obediently. 

She knew that when Maxwell was in the Carter family, Richard was the only family who treated him well. Although Richard had a purpose, it did not affect Maxwell’s feelings for Richard. 

Humans were not plants. How could they be heartless? 

The entrance of the operating theater was already filled with crying. All kinds of cries were mixed together, and a low pressure formed around them. 

Mona looked at the sad people at the door of the operating theater. She did not know how many of them were really sad about Richard’s death. Many of them were because of his assets, but she did not feel good either. 

At the same time, she felt that human life was really fragile. The person she saw today would never be seen again. 

As she thought about it, she looked up at Maxwell, who was motionless. She wanted to be with Maxwell for decades. 

Gordon wanted to ask if the doctor’s skills were not good enough, but when he saw that this doctor was the Carter family’s attending doctor, he could not say anything. 

Maxwell was no longer associated with the Carter family, so he didn’t need to be involved in any matters concerning Richard’s cemetery or cremation. Donald and Gordon would handle everything perfectly. 

Before leaving the hospital, Maxwell went to see Richard’s attending doctor to understand the situation. After leaving, he asked Nigel to get someone to keep an eye on the Carter family to see who could harm Richard. 

If the Carter Group was still in Maxwell’s hands, Maxwell would suspect that it was Gordon’s doing. However, Gordon was confused when he rushed over today. It was unlikely that he was the culprit. 

As for the others, Maxwell had no clue. However, Richard passed away just like that. It felt strange. If Richard was really seriously ill before, Donald would have brought him to the hospital. 

Maxwell had some understanding of Donald, his biological father. Although Donald was a bastard and valued his own interests, Maxwell had to admit that Donald was filial to Richard 

When Mona saw Maxwell coming out, she quickly ran over and held his hand. She asked with concern. “Did you get anything out of him?” 

Maxwell shook his head. “The doctor blamed himself for not being able to save Richard. He said that he was confident during the surgery, but halfway through the surgery, Richard suddenly lost his vital signs for some reason. He couldn’t be resuscitated and passed away in the end.” 

It was unclear where Nigel should even begin his investigation, whether with Juliet, Stephanie, Gordon, or the numerous

servants of the Carter family, It was certainly not an easy task.

Mona listened to Maxwell’s calm tone and knew that he did not feel good either. She said, “Lower your head a little. I have something to tell you.” 

Maxwell thought that there was no one around, and he did not know what secret Mona wanted to tell him. As he thought about it, he lowered his head. 

Mona leaned toward Maxwell’s ear and covered her mouth with her hand. She whispered, “Maxwell, I have a way to find out who the bad guys are. Let’s do this… and then…” 

After saying that, Mona turned her head slightly and met Maxwell’s sparkling eyes. “The only bad thing about this method is that there are fewer people probing. Therefore, the most important thing now is to determine the person most likely to be a bad person or narrow down the range.” 

Hearing that, Maxwell could not help but scratch her nose and praise her, “My wife is really smart.” 

Mona chuckled and did not say anything. She also wanted to make things clear. If someone was really up to no good, that was murder. 

There was a deathly silence in the Reed family. 

As soon as the three of them returned home, Wyatt was so angry that he slapped Molly’s face. He looked at Molly, who was already a little crazy, and wondered how she had become like this. 

She muttered, “Killed Gordon, killed Gordon…” She didn’t seem to feel any pain from the sudden blow. She didn’t react at 

all. 

Nancy was shocked by the sudden slap. She hurriedly stood in front of Molly and questioned, “Why did you hit Molly? Can’t you tell that she’s already a little abnormal?” 

Wyatt looked at Nancy and was furious. He said fiercely, “Didn’t you see what she did at the wedding? How do you want me to explain to the Carter family? If anything happens to Richard or Gordon, what will happen to Lydia? What should we do? Sending her to prison? Molly has embarrassed me. And you too. Didn’t the doctor say that she’s recovered? Then what happened today?”
