Chapter 278

Ander roughly pushed James aside and said with an icy expression, "Stay away

from Ms. Larson"

Just as James was about to get angry, he steadied himself, realizing that his followers had already started to attack Ander.

The person shouted, "How dare you push James!

However, with a single move, A

Ander effortlessly kicked the person away.

James was surprised. His companions were all exceptional warriors, capable of fighting against many opponents in battle, though not surpassing him How could Ander kick that guy

y away so

so easily

James looked directly at Ander, who appeared calm and restrained. James could see that Ander was also a great warrior.

James asked, "May 1 ask who you are?"

"Just a security guard, Ander replied flatly, his tone steady.

"Well, even a security guard has such skills, which is impressive, James exclaimed, launching a fierce strike at Ander, his arm bulging with muscle. However, Ander easily sidestepped the attack and said, "Protect Ms. Larson"

Then a fight broke out among the group

Seizing the chance, Layla supported Joel and rushed into the hospital. Layla said, "Hold on, Joel. Doctor! Doctor! Please treat my son!" Layla pleaded desperately. Joel's arms were completely numb and pulsing with intense pain. His rapid breathing indicated severe blood loss.

No one had the time to handle the Larson family. The secret guards were tricky opponents, and all of the fighters from the Williams family were caught up in the fight Seeing the situation was getting worse, Monica, fearing she might get hurt, quickly followed her guards to her car.

"Monica, Madeline called out to her. "If you keep causing trouble, you'll have to pay for it."

"Pay for in?" Monica looked as if she had just heard a joke.

Monica turned back and glared at Madeline, one hand on the car door, stating, "It's you who will pay for it. Do you know who the Willaims family is? Look at yourself! Clean your necks and wait for the axe! "Madeline, I really hate you, and I can't wait to see how you end

"Everyone from the Williams family is distinguished and nothing like you bastards!

With that, Monica got into her car and left

With Ander around, Madeline believed d that the Williams family wouldn't win. She picked up her fruit basket and went into the hospital The sons of the Larson family were all in the emergency room with varying degrees of injuries. Joel and Lucas seemed to have suffered more. Madeline didn't check on them and went straight to the inpatient department.

Henry was in the ward, unaware of what was happening outside, deeply lost in his thoughts.

Henry stared at the ceiling, not even noticing that Madeline had entered the room.

Thomas was leaning against the door. When he saw Madeline, he quickly pulled her aside.

Thomas asked, "Madeline, what's going on outside? I tried contacting the Larsons, but your uncle kept making excuses and wouldn't help us. I also called Mrs. Larson.."

"It's all settled none, but the guys are h hurt. You should check on them in the emergency room Madeline advised, glancing at Henry in the ward, This time, upon noticing Madeline, Henry quickly sat up, inadvertently tugging on his healing bones and wincing from the pain. Henry looked pale and worn out, wearing a blue hospital gown, and the IV drip swayed a bit with his movements

He pressed his dry lips as he deeply gazed at Madeline, his minding

countless thoughts that merged into a feeling of heavy sadness and Chapter 278

When Henry finally spoke, he felt like there was a needle in his throat, piercing him with pain. Madeline asked. "How are you? Surviving a great ordeal often brings blessings afterward." Madeline placed the fruit basket on the cabinet next to the bed and added, "You'll be okay. You're still young and will get better." Henry didn't really care about Madeline's comfort or how he looked right now.

He just asked, "Maddie, are you enjoying your studiest Have you made a lot of new friends and learned new things at college? You should be happy, right?

"Living away from home gives you more freedom, but remember to cat on time every day and don't get too busy.

"Are you planning to go for a graduate degree? I'm not sure how difficult the entrance exams are, believe in you. Given your ability, you can achieve anything you want

trance exams are, but you should be prepared ahead of time. I

Henry didn't apologize.

What was the point of apologizing! Those words, "Tim sorry," were meaningless.

An apology couldn't erase the fact that the Larson family had once dispossessed Madeline of her belongings, driven her to desperation, and ultimately led to her tragic end

Henry looked at Madeline, whose face was calm and beautiful. She seemed even colder than the last time he saw her.

No wonder Madeline's personality changed so drastically during that hospital stay. It turned out she had returned to the beginning

Henry said, "Madeline, please have a seat. Thanks for the fruit. Why don't you have some first?

"This is your favorite, right? Come on, have some."

Madeline loved this fruit, which was cheap and sweet. Each time she had it, she felt happy-

In the countryside, Madeline's grandparents grew her favorite fruit, which she would enjoy whenever she had a craving for something sweet

"How do you know?" asked Madeline.

At the Larson residence, Madeline rarely ate fruit.

Henry said. "I... I just guessed. It seems like before, you only ate oranges, not apples or pears Henry quickly changed the topic and asked, "Why don't you sit down! Sunding for so long can be tiring, right? Henry was unusually talkative today.

He was certain that Madeline found it very difficult to forgive him. Her visit should be

Once Madeline left, it might be a long time one or two years-before Henry saw her again.

So Henry wanted to express all those things he couldn't say before when he was practically invisible to Madeline

Henry said, "Madeline, you're really smart, smarter than us. Even though we're family, we are all diferent

"We're quite confused, but you're always clear-headed"

"Am I clear-headed?" Madeline sat down on the chair and nonchalantly picked up an orange, her face etched with sarcasm. "Had I been truly clear-headed. I wouldn't have allowed myself to be bullied. I'm just as confused as you all If Madeline had been thinking clearly, she would have left her family long ago, instead of getting hurt over and over, feeling utterly let down repeatedly.

Madeline said, "Well, you seem a bit weird today. Survive a big disaster and get chatty, hah?"

I was on my side,

Henry looked at Madeline, smiling and saying "Yeah, exactly. I almost thought I was going to die back then, but surprisingly, luck w and I survived. But surviving such a close call makes me want to value every single day from now on. "I want to say what I want to and do what I desire.

"After all, it's uncertain whether surprises or accidents will occur first,"

Henry's eyes showed a hint of sadness as he asked, "Madeline...

"I'm not upset with you anymore, Madeline said as she peeled the orange and put a slice in her mouth. It was sweet with a slight chill
