Chapter 163

Maxwell knew that Mona's words about forgiving Barbara were sincere. In his heart, he still did not want Mona to harbor hatred toward Barbara. After all, Mona's resentment toward Barbara stemmed from Teddy. Now that Mona was married to him and loved him, he no longer wanted her to dwell on Teddy and Barbara. Maxwell only wanted to occupy Mona's heart entirely without being overshadowed by unrelated people. About an hour later, all of Barbara's medical checkups were completed. Albert helped her to another room in the apartment to rest. It was equipped with the same medical equipment as Bernard's room. "Barbara, drink more water to moisten your throat, Albert said, helping her up and letting her lean against the headboard.

Mona's attention was focused on Bernard, hoping that her grandfather would wake up.

e, Luke came over to give him another IV drip.

After Bernard had taken the medicine,

Before leaving, he said, "Your family should pay more attention to Bernard at night. It is very likely that he will wake up in the middle of the night. If there is anything, ring the bell beside you."

After Luke left, Mona looked at Jane, who was holding Bernard's hand. Knowing that Jane would not rest in this situation, she did not say a word. Instead, she took out a thin blanket and gently covered Jane with it, saying softly, "Grandma, it is chilly at night. You need to take care of yourself. Otherwise, Grandfather will be worried when he wakes up in the morning"
