The Queen's Back

Chapter 165

When Bernard saw Mona enter, he quickly waved and gestured for her to sit beside him.

Mona glanced at Maxwell beside her, let go of his hand, and walked toward Bernard, sitting beside him.

Bernard took Mona's hand and let it cover Barbara's hand.

Mona subconsciously wanted to retract her hand, but upon seeing Bernard's kind face, she endured the discomfort and stayed still.

"Mona, it is all thanks to Barbara testing the medicine for me that I was able to wake up. For my sake, please reconcile with Barbara. Teddy is not worth affecting the bond between the two of you, Bernard said.

When he discovered that Barbara was Beatrice and Jeremy's child, he reacted too strongly and chased her out of the family. Yet, Barbara did not blame him and even risked her life to test the medicine when she was unaware of its dangers. He felt ashamed that, at his age, his heart was not as broad as a twenty-year-old girl's.

"Mona, I truly know I was wrong. Please do not ignore me, okay Barbara looked at Mona with her big eyes, resembling a good girl who recognized her mistake.

Everyone in the ward was focused on Mona. If she stated that she would not forgive Barbara, it would suggest that she was petty and narrow-minded.

Mona chuckled and responded, "Barbara, do you not remember that I forgave you yesterday? Grandpa has just woken up so he needs to rest well.

At that moment, Barbara had just finished testing the medicine for Bernard, and she was like a benefactor to him. If Bernard wanted Mona to forgive Barbara, Mona would never go against his wishes to nudge her grandfather toward Barbara. Barbara pursed her lips, looking somewhat aggrieved, and said, "Mona, I was just worried that I heard wrong yesterday, so I wanted to confirm it again."

Did Barbara's words not imply that Mona disregarded Bernard's health and spoke recklessly? It could cast her in an unfilial light

"Alright. It is enough that you two have reconciled. Barbara, you have not fully recovered yet. Go back to your room and rest. I have something to discuss with Mona, Bernard said kindly
