Chapter 162 Soothing A Woman
Chapter 162 Soothing A Woman
Full of anger, Viola opened the door of the ward. Seeing that Elly was peeling an apple, she stepped in.
The little girl, who was playing games on the iPad, saw her and smiled sweetly. "Aunt Viola!"
Raising her head, Elly saw Viola. In an instant, the expression on her face changed into unwillingness.
"Why are you here?" Again, Elly lowered her head, and with a slight tremble of her hand, the skin of the
apple peeled off.
Viola took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Did you hit me on the road the other day? Are
you the one who hurt Zarian?"
The peeled apple flopped onto the ground and rolled for two circles before it stopped.
Elly put down the fruit knife. Her fingers trembled subtly. She snorted, "I don't know what you are
talking about!"
Viola went up and pulled her up. The blue veins stood out on her hands that were gripping her
shoulders. "Do you know how much you have hurt him?"
Frowning, Elly shook off her hands and patted the dust off her clothes. "I don't know what happened to
you, but please don't frame me!""
"Elly!" Viola was very angry.
Elly gave her a disdainful look. Obviously, she didn't take her seriously.
"…… Stop arguing... " The little girl clapped herself in fear and cried as she couldn't bear the smell of
gunpowder in the house.
A strange look passed over on Viola's face.
Elly glared at her and patted the little girl on her back pitifully.
"Come with me, Viola."
A cold voice came from behind. She turned around mechanically and saw it was Maynard. She just
braced herself and walked out.
As soon as she went out, she was pulled to the distant corridor.
"Reporter Qi, don't be angry in front of the child. Don't you understand that?"
Maynard released her in an instant. Frowning tightly, his thin and cold lips pressed in a straight line.
A trace of shame flashed in her eyes. Viola lowered her head so low that it almost buried into her chest.
"Then I'll apologize to her."
But when she just took a step forward, she was pulled back.
She turned her head to look at Maynard, and her eyes were full of surprise and confusion.
"No, don't scare her anymore." With his hands in the pockets of his suit, Maynard raised his sharp eyes
slightly. "Why are you quarreling?" he asked
Viola clenched her fist and cried out. Then she continued with righteous indignation, "Elly hit and hurt
Zarian. I will make her take legal responsibility!"
"Really?" A smile appeared at the corners of Maynard's long and narrow eyes, in which darkness could
be seen. "You seem to care about Zarian a lot."
Upon hearing his words, Viola stared at him angrily and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Zarian got hurt because of saving her. He might never be able to stand up in the rest of his life
A rigid and angry smile played on Maynard's face. The cold aura around him spread in an instant. He
declared word by word, "I will protect Elly."
Feeling extremely confused, Viola looked up at the people around her and said in a low voice, "Mr.
Chu, one has to pay for what he has done. You can't be so unreasonable."
Maynard only wanted to smile and squint at her silently. Obviously, he was not touched by her at all.
Viola walked back and forth in the corridor, feeling very annoyed. She opened her mouth and wanted to
say something, but when she looked into Maynard's eyes, she realized that he would not change his
mind.
A childish voice rang.
Viola scratched her hair, took out her cell phone and pressed the answer button. "Hello."
"I need you to take good care of your brother, Viola. That's how you take care of him!" The stepmother
yelled in the phone, "If anything happens to your brother, I won't let you off!"
Due to the loud roar, Viola's ears were buzzing. She quickly took her phone away.
It was not until the person on the other end of the phone got tired of scolding that she picked up the
phone and said in a weak voice, "Aunt Xu, what happened to my brother?"
"Ahahah He was threatened again. Did you offend someone? Your brother was implicated! "
Her stepmother was helpless and flustered at first, but now she was hysterical.
Instinctively, Viola looked at Maynard, who was wearing a tailored suit with an imposing manner.
Immediately, she realized what had happened.
She immediately interrupted her stepmother who was still cursing, "Aunt Xu, I promise I will send my
brother back safely. Don't worry."
Before her stepmother could say anything else, Viola hung up without hesitation.
Viola glared at Maynard angrily. "Tell me what you have done to my brother!"
"We have tied him up for the whole day and put an apple on his head. Then we will ask the bodyguard
to throw a knife at his apple." With a mocking smile at the corners of his mouth, Maynard leaned
against the wall sideways and said, "I didn't expect that he was scared to pee..."
A flame of fury was burning in Viola's chest. She grabbed his clothes and said, "That way, everyone
would be scared! I don't care. Let him go! "
A hint of slyness flashed in Maynard's eyes. He raised her chin with his cold and slender finger and
said, "I'm afraid that's not good."
Viola secretly gnashed her teeth and slapped away his hand. She turned around and strode away.
On the day she came back from the hospital, they had a cold war.
She woke up in the morning and went downstairs for breakfast. When she saw him, she turned around
and went upstairs——
"Viola, if you don't eat breakfast, it's not good for the baby." Said Jennifer.
Giving a cold glance at Maynard who sat still at the table, Viola snorted. Obviously, her cold voice
hinted something, "I'm full as long as I see someone."
"I can understand." A smile crept onto Jennifer's face. She took the milk and bread from the plate and
handed it to Viola.
Viola went upstairs after taking the things.
As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the living room froze all of a sudden. The chillness emitting from
Maynard's body became heavier and heavier, which almost made Bernard spit out the breakfast he
had just eaten.
"If a woman is angry, sooth her." Without hiding the schadenfreude in his eyes, Bernard put his arm
around Maynard's shoulders and said, "She's pregnant now. It's normal that she feels temperamental."
Maynard pushed his hand away, wiped his mouth with a piece of napkin expressionlessly, and said in a
seemingly casual tone, "What do you think should I do?"
"Give her whatever she wants." Bernard took a sip of milk with a knowing expression.
Jennifer rolled her eyes at him and was away from him.
At noon, when Viola went downstairs and wanted to take some food to fill her stomach, she saw the
living room was full of red roses, which almost dazzled her eyes.
She lost her balance and almost fell over the floor.
"Who did it?" NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
When she was wiping her eyes to make sure if she saw it wrong, Bernard walked in from outside. He
raised his eyebrows and clapped his hands, "Are you surprised or happy to see so many flowers?"
The corners of Viola's mouth twitched. She went into the kitchen and took out the complexion and milk
from the refrigerator. Pulling out a chair and sitting down in front of the dining table, she tried to be as
kind as possible. "Can you stop putting so many roses here?"
It was red everywhere. She thought it was blood if she didn't see it clearly.
"You don't like it?" With a look of shock on Bernard's face, he hastily sat opposite to her and asked,
"Last time, Maynard sent you a whole truck of roses. Didn't you enjoy being soaked in the bath?"
