Let Me Stay The Night

Maggie’s voice was seemingly squeezed through clenched teeth, and her icy, resentful glare made Christina’s heart skip a beat.

Sebastian was just talking about the Taggart family showing up at the hospital sooner or later, but he never expected anyone to show up so soon.

Just then, several burly bodyguards dressed in black appeared in the corridor. They marched over to Christina and Maggie and stood between the women, looking extremely assertive.

“Mr. Hadley has given us the order that no one is to disturb Mrs. Hadley when she’s recuperating. Please leave, Old Mrs. Taggart.”

Maggie gripped her cane, her gaze still pinned on Christina. “What can an old woman like me do to her? All I did was ask her a few questions. I’ll leave when I’m done. What do you think, Mrs. Hadley?”

Sure enough, Maggie was alone. All she brought was a single cane; she did not even have a bag.

At the same time, Christina was intrigued to find out the purpose of Maggie’s visit. “It’s all right. You guys can wait outside while I talk to her in private.”

The leader of the bodyguards was hesitant to obey, but he could only compromise when met. with Christina’s questioning gaze. “Make way,” he ordered.

Immediately, the group of men opened up a path, letting the smirking elder enter the ward with her cane.

Christina left the door slightly open and leaned against it. “Get straight to the point. I’m in a rush.”

Thanks to Madison, Christina did not have a good impression of the Taggart family.

Their overprotectiveness was not rooted in distinguishing right from wrong.

“Were you the one who caused Madison’s death?” Maggie shot Sophie a piercing gaze.

To Maggie’s surprise, Christina curled her lips into a mocking smile and responded with a question, “What do you think?”

Offended by the response, Maggie thumped the cane on the ground and berated Christina for her ruthlessness, “Madison would’ve stayed by Nathaniel’s side as his assistant if not for you. Sure, she made mistakes, but she didn’t deserve to die. She had already lost her mind. Why couldn’t you forgive her? Why did you have to kill her? Besides, you’re alive and well.
