The Queen's Back
Chapter 212
What Maxwell didn't tell Mona before was that as long as he could remember, he had to listen to his mother, Ruby Johnson, complaining hysterically every day.
Ruby hated Donald Carter. She thought he was heartless and that he only wanted to have sex with her. After she got pregnant, she found out that Donald was already married and had a child.
As Maxwell grew up, he was like a constant reminder of the deceit Ruby went through. Slowly, her hatred toward Donald was transferred to Maxwell.
When Maxwell was still a young boy, there were times he had woken up from nightmares. When he cried and wanted a hug, all he got was his mother's beating and scolding, saying that he was an unwanted illegitimate child. Ruby had also told him over and over again that Carter was his surname, and all men with that surname should die. The blood flowing in his veins was filthy.
Maxwell's vile mother had deprived him of the joy of his childhood. When he got sick, he didn't cry or make a fuss but just waited for his body to recover on its own. Having a meal every two to three days was considered a luxury to him. Until one day, Ruby couldn't take it anymore. She abandoned Maxwell and left the small village.
Maxwell, who was still a small kid then, felt like he had been abandoned by the world and had no one to rely on.
Upon hearing Maxwell's words, Mona sat up straight in shock. She looked at Maxwell in disbelief and said in a sobbing voice, "I know the rivers were very deep, Maxwell. From now on, you can't end your life without my permission." When Mona was young, Emily would bring her to the countryside to experience country life. Emily would especially remind Mona not to play by the river every time because Emily was afraid that Mona would fall into the river. That was how Mona knew that the river was very deep.
Maxwell had already said so much. Mona was smart enough to figure out what Maxwell wanted to do.
'He was the same in his previous life. After avenging me, he killed himself straightaway. He didn't care much about his life at all. He told me that my life is very important. How about his own?' Mona thought. In her heart, Maxwell's life was more important than her own.
"Mona, don't cry. If I did kill myself, I wouldn't have married you, would I? Maxwell gently wiped the tears from the corners of Mona's eyes.
