She Killed My Ex

Chapter 38 Did She Want a Lot

Chapter 38 Did She Want a Lot?

Madison looked up at Grace cautiously. Instead of answering Grace, Madison asked Grace back, "Do you like Mr. Tucker?"

Grace waved her hand quickly. "It's not me. It's others. A lot of people like Mr. Tucker."

The sternness of Madison's eyes faded. She began to persuade Grace seriously. "It's a good thing you don't like Mr. Tucker. Mr. Tucker is an outstanding man. He must have high sights. The girl who can be Mr. Tucker's girlfriend must be very excellent.

Mr. Tucker came to Royal Club just for fun. There's no way he's interested in women who love to play the field. Grace, I'm not bursting your bubble. Mr. Tucker has high sights, that's for sure. Don't join in the fun with those women, or you will weep silently and sadly."

After saying this, Madison saw Grace drooping her head and trying not to speak. Madison compressed her pink lips and held Grace's hand. "Grace, I'm just saying this for your own good. Look, I don't even say these words to those women. As a friend, I just hope you don't get hurt."

Grace's face was a little embarrassed. "I know. Madison, I have to get to work." Grace didn't know why her self-esteem was hurt even Madison said it was for Grace's own good.

Madison didn't think much of it. She went back to the hospital.

When Madison entered the ward, she saw Caroline still unconscious. She curled her lips and said, "Such a pain in the neck."

Madison talked to the doctor earlier. The wound on Caroline's forehead looked serious. It was just because Caroline was sent to the hospital late and she lost a lot of blood. The real problem was that Caroline was in poor health.

When Caroline woke up, it was the afternoon of the next day. The fever had gone down a little, but her temperature was still unusual.

Caroline opened her eyes. She was so thirsty that she unconsciously croaked, "Thirsty."

The noise woke Madison up. She frowned at Caroline. "Wait a minute," she said coldly. Then she poured a glass of water for Caroline.

Caroline took the glass and said nothing. She drank a glass of water silently.

After drinking the water, Caroline still didn't speak.

The ward was quiet. Caroline lowered her eyelids and concentrated. She was waiting. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

All of a sudden, Madison said,

"Your forehead hit on a doorknob and it will leave a scar. However, it seems that you already have a scar on your forehead, so this scar is not a big deal. Don't tell anyone about it. I've already asked for leave from the Royal Club for you. You can go back to work when your fever has subsided. I paid all the hospital expenses. I will deliver three meals a day during your hospitalization on time."

Caroline was silent.

Madison was miffed. She thought Caroline was an ingrate. "Do you hear me? I'm not entirely to blame for this. You have your own problems. No one will sleep outside the house all night after getting caught in the rain. That's why you have a high fever. Otherwise, why did you fall down when I just touched you?"

Caroline was still silent.

Madison couldn't help raising her voice and cried, "What more do you want? I took you to the hospital! If I hadn't brought you to the hospital in time, you would have died of a high fever. And I paid for your medical bills.

I'm a college student. I work part-time in the summer vacation for tuition and living expenses. I don't have much money, but I still paid for your medical bills. And you're not letting it go. Caroline, tell me, how much money do you need to keep your mouth shut?"

Caroline kept her head down and said nothing.

Madison was more angry. "What do you want? Tell me!"

Madison was prepared to lose a lot of money. She thought, "This Caroline is so greedy for money. She won't pass up this opportunity to blackmail me."

At this moment, the more Madison looked at Caroline, the angrier Madison became.

Caroline slowly raised her head and looked at Madison. Caroline said slowly in a raspy and broken voice, "I want an apology from you."

Madison's eyes widened and she looked at Caroline absurdly. "You want me to apologize?" She asked Caroline almost in a high-pitched voice, "You want me to apologize to you?"

Madison looked at Caroline strangely, as if apologizing to Caroline would be a shameful and absurd thing to do.

"You'd better tell me how much you want."

Madison sneered.

Caroline in bed shook her head. She said slowly but firmly, "All I want is an apology."

"You!" Madison stared angrily at Caroline in bed. Madison's eyes were burning and she said coldly, "If I don't apologize, are you gonna tell everyone about this?"

Caroline was more and more silent. Wasn't it proper to apologize for doing something wrong?

Madison's performance clearly showed that apologizing to Caroline was hard for Madison to accept.

Caroline could not help asking herself, "Would Madison have done the same thing today if it were anyone else?"

Caroline let out an almost inaudible sigh. She became more and more silent, not because of an apology, but because of her inner desire to be respected like a normal person.

Although Caroline knew that being respected had long since left her, she still wanted to be respected.

Could such a man as Bentley who was high and mighty destroy a person from the inside out, from head to foot, easily and completely?

Caroline was silent. She felt remorse in her heart. She thought she should not have asked and she could not ask to be treated with respect. She no longer had the right to be respected.

"Caroline, even if I lost all my money, I will not apologize to you. You are willing to kneel down for money. You are willing to learn to crawl on the ground like a bitch and wag your tail to please the rich. Even if I did something wrong, you don't deserve my apology." Madison was furious.

She continued, "If you want to spread the word, go ahead. But don't blame me for not warning you. I am a student of S University. I work part-time for my education. You're a woman who will do anything for money. Do you think others will believe you or me?"

Under the quilt, Caroline clenched her fists and tried desperately to suppress the dull pain in her heart. After finishing her words, Madison stormed out of the ward and banged the door on her way out. Caroline stared wordlessly at the white ceiling with glazed eyes. She let the dull pain of her heart spread throughout her body. And the sense of powerlessness pervaded her limbs.

Caroline thought she was out of pain. She thought she didn't care about dignity anymore.

"What's wrong with me today?" Caroline said in a gruff voice to herself. "Oh, I have a fever. I'm so spaced out," she answered herself.

Caroline knew very well that what she wanted was not an apology, but the respect that she had not received in a long time. She wanted to be respected as a human being!

An imperceptible sorrow came briefly into Caroline's eyes. She just wanted an apology that should have been given to her.

Did she want a lot?

"Well, this is an extravagant hope for me." Caroline hung her head. "I should stop fantasizing." She seemed to be making a vow to herself. She seemed to be convincing herself. She seemed to be hypnotizing herself by saying to herself over and over again. "I won't expect too much. I won't ask for the moon."
