Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone With The Money

Chapter 4

Seeing this, Mr. Cheyne quickly came over, took the keys, and assumed the driver’s role.

Cynthia opened the passenger door and sat down, not looking at Joshua again for the entire journey.

Mr. Cheyne was apprehensive, fearing that Cynthia might blurt out something shocking later.

He hesitated. “Mrs. Neal, you…”

“Drive.”

Cynthia’s voice was light but cold.

Mr. Cheyne glanced at the rearview mirror, and seeing that Mr. Neal had no reaction, he drove out of the parking lot in silence. The atmosphere inside the car was so heavy that Mr. Cheyne felt as if he were being suffocated.

Neither Mr. Neal nor Mrs. Neal seemed inclined to speak, and an icy chill emanated from both of them. While he understood Mr. Neal’s temperament, Mr. Cheyne could not figure out why Mrs. Neal, who had been in a good mood just moments before, was now so cold. He kept his concerns to himself.

Joshua sat in the back seat, his gaze uncontrollably drawn to the silent Cynthia in the passenger seat. He was surprised by the emotions stirring within him.

Half an hour later, the car came to a stop at the hospital entrance. With a firm grip on Cynthia’s wrist, Joshua led her

toward the VIP ward.

Cynthia said, wincing at the pain from his grip, “Mr. Neal, if you keep holding me like this, you’ll be charged with

intentional harm in court before I even get the chance to be charged with attempted murder of Jayleen.”

Only then did Joshua release her, revealing her now red and swollen wrist. Cynthia gave him a disdainful look, making him. feel uncomfortable. He felt a flicker of guilt, but it vanished when he considered the possibility that she was responsible. for hurting Jayleen.
