Madison almost suffocated in her own resentment and envy.
She took comfort in the fact that Cecilia was living a hard and bitter life forever, but, in fact, she was from a wealthy family, and she could still return to her luxurious life if she returned home, as easily as that. Madison felt like she had lived a lie her whole life. Why was God so unfair to her? She was miserable enough - obsessing over how she was born ugly, but Cecilia was blessed with good looks. Even now, their lives were so different; they were never equal from the start. Cecilia gave birth to a daughter later on.
She had someone send her daughter to Madison for her to take care of.
At the time, Madison was no longer with her previous lover. Instead, she was married to James, who was an honest and hardworking man.
The moment Madison saw the soft, beautiful baby girl, her dark jealousy intensified.
As she caressed the baby girl's smooth skin and kissed her perfect little cheeks, a twisted thought took root in her mind. If she couldn't destroy Cecilia, she could still destroy Cecilia's daughter, couldn't she? Brayden cto find Queenie. He told her that Madison had not returned hfor a long time.
His tone was rather anxious when he told Queenie.
Especially since the whole family's money was under Madison's control.
Now that she had disappeared, they didn't know where the money was.
Despite this, Queenie was unfazed about Madison's disappearance at all.
Recently, she becinvolved with an old man. He was besotted and was willing to spend heaps on her. Money wasn't exactly her concern.
"So what? Maybe Mom went travelling," Queenie snorted dismissively.
Brayden's face fell. "I heard from others that she was taken away by a few bodyguards in a van. You'd better investigate this!" Madison was taken away by bodyguards? Queenie was stunned.
Who had the power to send bodyguards to kidnap Madison? She suddenly remembered the moment she saw Natalie together with Tobias.
Did Natalie finally reconcile with Tobias and worked with him to take revenge on Madison? The more she thought about it, the more Queenie found her assumptions likely to be true.
Brayden added, "Don't forget that all the money is in her hands, which you need for your dowry too." Queenie was frustrated.
She did not care about that money at all. Their family did not have much to start with anyway. Besides, Brayden would inherit all of it.
However, she was huffed and vexed by the fact that Natalie had kidnapped Madison.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo Queenie, Natalie was a cheap woman destined to be the dirt under her and Madison's feet. Yet, she dared to kidnap her mother. How could she stand that? Queenie clenched her fists as she fumed in anger.
Queenie looked at Brayden. "Alright. I will investigate this matter and see if that b*tch is behind this," Brayden's eyes widened.
"Natalie?" Natalie had been missing for such a long time. He was almost certain that she was dead.
A look of evil malice flashed in Queenie's eyes.
"Yes, that woman." Meanwhile, in Agaphen City, the VIP ward was a lively scene.
Once again, Benjamin volunteered to feed Remington.
This time, Remington immediately refused.
"I can eat on my own," he insisted.
Eating on his own took longer and required him to exert greater effort, but it was better than being fed by Benjamin.
Even Remington himself noticed the strange look that everyone was giving him.
Even a man like him who had never cared about what other people thought of him felt sort of annoyed.
Natalie wanted to step forward and help Remington with his food, but she fought back the urge.
If she were to do that, Benjamin would definitely stop her.
Natalie sighed internally.
Despite Benjamin's strict supervision over Natalie and Remington, the two of them were still able to steal the chance to talk.
For example, there were times like when Benjamin went to the bathroom. It would be impossible for him to bring Natalie into the men's bathroom with him.
As Remington began eating on his own, Benjamin excused himself and went to the bathroom.
At last, Remington and Natalie were left alone.
She immediately asked, "Are you all right, Remington?" The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. "I'm good, very good." Natalie let out a dry laugh.
Suddenly, she did not know what else to say.
"Natalie." His gaze fell on her. "I'm sorry for what happened between us. Are you still angry at me?" Natalie held her breath.
A bitter smile crossed her face. "Not anymore, I guess. It's all in the past." Remington did not respond, but his eyes were filled with mixed emotions.
Natalie knew that she had to seize the opportunity, or else she would not be able to talk to Remington anymore once Benjamin comes back.
However, she found that the words kept getting stuck in her throat.
She wanted to ask Remington what was the true nature of their relationship since he told her she had already met his grandfather. She wanted to know if anything had happened between the two of them. After all, she was not a virgin anymore when she first slept with Tobias.
Since her first night with Tobias was not her first time, she must have given it to another man.
And that man was most likely Remington.
But she couldn't find a way to bring the matter up.
She felt embarrassed to even think about it. It was awkward, very awkward indeed.
"Natalie, what's on your mind?" Remington looked at her curiously.
He noticed the hesitation on Natalie's face.
"My first t-" Natalie plucked up all her courage, but unfortunately, she still stopped short.
"What do you mean by 'first time'?" Remington asked, frowning.
"My first time," her face turned as red as a tomato.
Remington's expression grew even more suspicious.
Natalie mustered all her courage and blurted, "Was my first time—" "Remington! The weather outside is lovely today." Benjamin barged in and announced.
Natalie jumped up, shocked.
Why would Benjamin cin at such a critical time? She had almost succeeded in asking Remington about it.

Natalie was completely speechless.

Benjamin was already pegged as a fool, but Remington didn't want to be seen as a joke himself.
He ignored Benjamin and shut his eyes to rest.
Benjamin didn't feel awkward at all as he kept rambling on.
Later, a nurse cin to check on Remington's wound. She winked at Natalie before she left the ward.
Natalie took the hint and followed her out.
After staying in the hospital for so long, Natalie had grown close with sof the nurses.
"That man, Simpson, is really infatuated with the patient. I've never seen a man so in love before." The nurse sighed.
Natalie was at a loss for words once again.
Since the misunderstanding had gone on for stime, she did not anding know how to explain, and no one would believe her anyway, so she decided to just let the rumors be.
"He is such a young and handsman. It's a pity that he doesn't like ladies. Miss Godfrey, maybe youn could persuade him for us? There are so many girls here who are single and available." The daring nurse hinted not-so-subtly, giggling. Natalie looked at her, speechless.
However, she regained her composure and let out a dry laugh. "Okay, I'll try my best." Just as she was about to talk to Benjamin, he saw that he was heading towards her.
He leaned down and whispered something to Natalie.
Tobias had arrived at the hospital.
Natalie felt like she was dreaming.
It had been a long tsince she last saw him.
When Benjamin told her this, her heart still hammered in her chest at the mere mention of his name. However, after a while, Natalie murmured to herself, "Forget it. We'd better not see each other." X
