The Queen's Back

Chapter 279

Chapter 279

After Mona and Maxwell left the hospital, the rain outside had stopped. However, because of the weather, it was still windy outside and a little cold.

However, the wind blew away one's fatigue.

Because of Richard's sudden death, Mona wanted to spend more time with her grandparents. Therefore, after leaving the hospital, she asked Nigel to drive to the Clem family.

When Bernard and Jane saw them, they were a little surprised. Jane quickly asked, "Why did you suddenly come? Why didn't you tell your grandfather and me before coming?" This way, they could prepare more food. Bernard and Jane were very happy to suddenly see Mona. As they spoke, they called Maxwell and Mona inside.

"Of course it's because I miss you guys," Mona said with a smile. The few of them walked forward together.

After entering, Maxwell and Mona tactfully told Bernard and Jane about Richard's death.

Upon hearing this, Bernard and Jane looked at Maxwell with concern. After Maxwell and Mona got married, Bernard and Jane treated Maxwell as family. Naturally, they were concerned.

Regarding their concern, Maxwell smiled. He also liked to come to the Clem family with Mona because Bernard and Jane's concern for him was real. "Grandpa, Grandma, don't worry. I'm fine. I'll digest my negative emotions." After comforting Maxwell, Bernard and Jane changed the topic.

Late at night, Mona was in a daze. Her hand subconsciously reached to the side, but she could not touch the person beside her for a long time. Suddenly, she opened her eyes.

Under the dim light at the head of the bed, Mona saw that there was no one beside her. In a daze, she searched for Maxwell in the room.

After looking around, Mona's gaze landed on the balcony of the room. There was a tall and slender figure.

She lifted the blanket, put on her shoes, and subconsciously walked toward the balcony.

The balcony door was ajar. Before Mona arrived, she saw a rising smoke ring.
