The Queen's Back

Chapter 82

Soren didn't stay in the room for long. He returned to the hospital, planning to take Chelsea with him to leave this place and find an opportunity to deal with Ava later. The most important thing now was to ensure his own safety.

As soon as he opened the door, he was confronted by a male police officer standing outside. Before he could shut the door. he was swiftly subdued by two officers.

Mona and Maxwell came up from behind. Mona slapped Soren hard across the face, almost collapsing with the thought that she might not be able to protect Ava again. If it weren't for Bud being in Fusceland, she would have lived with that guilt for the rest of her life. "You're such a villain. People like you should end up in hell!" Mona shouted fiercely, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Soren..

Soren knew that she was aware of the whole scheme to get Ava's heart. Chelsea's poor health had nothing to do with Ava. Ava shouldn't get involved.

"Yes, I'm a villain. Good slap." At this point, he knew he had no chance left. By the time he got out of jail, Chelsea would likely no longer be around. But the plan had almost succeeded, leaving him unwilling to accept defeat.

After Soren was taken away by the police, Maxwell noticed Mona's red-rimmed eyes. He gently took her hand and asked softly. "Does your hand hurt? Leave the beating to me next time.

Meeting Maxwell's gentle gaze, Mona felt a bit relieved. "It doesn't hurt. Let's go check on Ava

Maxwell nodded, and they went to the room that Bud had booked. As they entered, Mona immediately spotted Ava lying an the large bed, looking so peaceful in her 'sleep-

"Don't worry, Mona. She was just injected with a sedative. She'll wake up soon" Bud reassured her, noticing the worry in her

eyes.

This was his first time meeting Mona in person, and she was even prettier than her photos. No wonder Maxwell has been so enamored with her for so many years, Bud thought. "Thank you for your help today, Bud," Mona said sincerely. Without him, she wasn't sure she could have rushed in to save
