Chapter 342 The Patient Finally Awakened
“I said, leave Xander alone. Can’t you hear me? Get lost now!” Emelia was in a wheelchair, and she
was stealing a glance at Colton’s swollen cheek before vehemently looking away.
Madeline suppressed her anger and said to her, “I must have been too kind and tolerant toward you
guys, so you are still living in your imaginary world.”
“What did you say? Are you going to bring up your trump card, that you are the one who is paying
Xander’s medical fees? Don’t you know that it’s because you have taken away his wealth? You should
be grateful that we never asked you to cough up what is not rightfully yours!” Caitlin was shouting at
her while hiding behind Emelia.
Madeline produced a smirk, and she met Emelia’s eyes as she said, “I am indeed the one who has
been paying for his medical fees, but that has nothing to do with the wealth that I’ve received from him.
I am just being grateful because he has saved me and my children, and he has gone through the
hardest days with me.”
“You are making everything sound so noble and great!” Caitlin rolled her eyes.
Madeline ignored her and continued to tell Emelial, “There is no one else who is more familiar with
Xander’s financial status other than me. You’re so calculative and smart, how can you let me have all of
his money? Am I right?”
“I have told you since the beginning. The amount you’ve paid for Xander is a loan from me to you…”
Emelia was very emotional, and she wanted to get up but to no avail. She sank back into her
wheelchair.
However, Caitlin who had always been very caring toward Emelia was simply staring at Madeline. She
did not pay attention to Emelia at all at that moment.
Emelia’s face darkened, and then she heard Caitlin’s sharp voice, “Did you really pay for Xander’s
medical fees?”
“That’s right. Xander’s assets have been frozen for some time. If he cannot wake up anytime soon, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvilla that he owns will become collateral that the bank can auction off. Don’t you even know that?”
Madeline raised her brows at her.
A shocking expression formed on Caitlin’s face. She really did not know about this. She never looked
into such matters so that she could upkeep her image as a girl who did not care about worldly,
materialistic yearnings. She wanted to present the image of a girl who very much loved Xander for who
he was.
She always thought that someone as amazing as Xander must be rich as well.
“One more thing, he has some massive debt to pay off. The amount is in the tens of billions. Do you
know about that?”
Caitlin’s mouth dropped, but Emelia quickly held her hand, “As long as Xander can wake up, he will be
able to pay off his debt.”
“He will be able to pay off his debt, you say? I am talking about billions of dollars, not hundreds of
thousands of dollars! What’s more, he has been bedridden for many years, can he really wake up? Can
he function like a normal person again?” Caitlin slowly removed her hand from Emelia’s grip. She did
not blame Emelia as she was simply talking to herself.
“He will be able to pay off his debt, you say? I am talking about billions of dollars, not hundreds of
thousands of dollars! What’s more, he has been bedridden for many years, can he really wake up? Can
he function like a normal person again?” Caitlin slowly removed her hand from Emelia’s grip. She did
not blame Emelia as she was simply talking to herself.
However, her voice did not escape Emelia’s ears.
Emelia could not help but feel saddened. In the past two years, Caitlin had been by her side. She kept
telling Emelia how she loved Xander, and that she would always take care of him. Emelia was touched
by her gesture.
However, she did not know that Caitlin had an ulterior motive for doing all that.
“Are you satisfied now?” Emelia shot a glare at Madeline.
Madeline replied, “I am telling you this just to let you see for yourself the true nature of that woman next
to you. I am not trying to gain anything for my own benefit. I told you long ago that Xander and I are just
friends.”
“You’re just like Caitlin. You’re only saying this because Xander is not waking up yet!” Emelia clenched
her fists.
“I am here to visit him, nothing more. You’re free to think whatever you want,” Madeline refuted her and
she was about to go into the ward with the kids.
Emelia maneuvered her wheelchair to the door to block her, “I told you before, you can’t go in there to
see him! I’ve consulted the high priest on this matter. You will always bring bad luck to him. Why can’t
you leave him alone? Why do you insist on driving him to his death?”
Madeline felt speechless when she heard that. She could almost be certain that it was Caitlin who had
introduced that so-called high priest to Emelia.
“Oh no! What have you done to my face? You little sh*thead, I will destroy you now!”
A piercing shrill interrupted their conversation, and Madeline turned around to see that Caitlin was
about to kick Thomas. Her heart sank, and she quickly rushed toward them and landed a kick on her
knees.
A huge snap ensued, and her knees were broken just like that.
“Oh my god! She’s trying to kill me now! Everyone, look out! Save me!” Caitlin began to scream loudly
while holding her knees on the floor.
Very soon, doctors and nurses began to surround them. Both Madeline and Caitlin were taken away.
Before they were sent away, Caitlin pointed at Thomas with her embroidered finger, “You little sh*thead!
Police, you need to arrest him too!”
The police paid her no attention. Madeline shot a look at Mackenzie to signal for her to contact Rihan to
come to get them.
Mackenzie nodded and immediately called Rihan.
Thomas and Mackenzie were now standing together with Emelia, which made the police believe that
they were with Emelia. Therefore, they were not taken away as a result.
“Get away from me. Why are you standing around me?” When Emelia saw that Thomas and
Mackenzie were standing just next to her, she scolded them as if she was a fierce guardian trying to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstop them from entering the room.
“Auntie Emelia, do you want to go home with us?” Thomas poked Emelia on her shoulders.
Emelia was infuriated, “Shut the hell up. I don’t want to talk to you!”
She wanted to go into the ward by directing her wheelchair herself so that she no longer needed to
entertain these kids. It was unfortunate that the wheelchair somehow malfunctioned, so no matter what
he pressed, the wheelchair would not budge. She could not even roll the wheels by herself.
“Auntie Emelia, if you let us in, we will fix your wheelchair for you,” Mackenzie came over after making
the phone call. She was putting on a huge smile while saying that.
Emelia had a cold expression on her face, and with how scary her eyes looked, she was an intimidating
presence. However, Thomas and Madeline were not afraid of her.
“You guys have done something to my wheelchair, haven’t you?”
Emelia knew very well about their extraordinary intellect.
“Auntie Emelia, I forgot to introduce to you our elder brother. His name is Colton. We resemble each
other, right? In fact, he looks more like our daddy.”
Mackenzie shoved Colton to Emelia, and she continued to smile very brightly.
A surprised look was written over Emelia’s face now, “Your daddy? Did you find your daddy?”
Thomas nodded quickly, “Yes, we have. He’s really handsome. He’s more handsome than our
godfather, and he’s going to give us another sister with mommy.”
Emelia felt a wave of emotion sweeping her. She should feel happy that her son could finally break free
of Madeline’s curse. His life would no longer be adversely affected by her.
However, she also felt worried about this new fact. She wondered how his son would react once he
learned of this.
Perhaps he would blame her for how things had developed. If Emelia did not shun Madeline and the
kids, they would not have gone back to look for her ex-husband in the first place.
“Attention, the family member of the patient in ward 36. The patient has just woken up, and we are
going in to take his vitals.” A nurse suddenly opened the door and announced.
