Chapter 564
Xavier was lying on the hospital bed, looking at Madison, whose face was ashen, as if her illness was even worse than his.
"You might not know the things your father has done during this period when you were in a coma. Godfrey Group is ruined by him." Madison sat by the side of the hospital bed. Her attitude was revolting.
He frowned. Not pleased with her behavior, he asked, "Are you here to see me or to tell me something about the Godfrey family?"
She realized that there was something wrong with her words. "I thought you cared about Godfrey Group. That's why..."
"In your eyes, there is only Godfrey Group, the wealth, and the glory. When have you cared about Theodore and I? What other contribution have you made besides giving birth to us?" Xavier's voice was raspy and cold.
He was downright disappointed with his mother. Everyone said that she had his best interests at heart, but in his perspective, it was for her own glory and wealth. This was also the reason why he did not intend to have too much contact with her.
In his tender age, he'd felt that everything his mother did was right. However, as time went on, as he was able to distinguish right from wrong, he realized how ridiculous his own thoughts had been.
"Xavier, what are you talking about? How have I not been responsible as a mother?" Madison was puzzled by his anger. Everything she did was for him. She couldn't understand why he had perceived her in such a materialistic way.
He sneered, "When I was disabled, how did you treat my brother? You said it was for the sake of Godfrey Group, but you know very well in your heart that you want to take full control of Godfrey Group yourself. Furthermore, you just stayed in the villa and did not care at all about it."
Hearing his accusations, she felt upset. Previously, to assist Theodore, she had to get rid of Xavier. Otherwise, Theodore's temper would be the end of the Godfrey family sooner or later.
She couldn't allow Theodore to have control over everything. If he did, Xavier would end up with nothing.
Standing outside and listening to their conversation, Theodore's eyes were filled with disbelief. He felt a sharp pain in his heart; it was so painful that he felt like he could suffocate.
Everleigh looked at him and held his cold hand to comfort him. Madison didn't cherish what he had done, but she did.
He turned his head and looked at the overwrought Everleigh. He forced a smile, indicating that he was fine.
"How can you accuse me like this? I gave my everything for your sake and mine."
"Oh, gave your everything. Do you think I would listen to such rubbish? Let me ask you, during my coma, why did you refuse Everleigh? If you really doted on me, why did you keep your prejudice and not let her treat me?"
Hearing this, she immediately flew into a rage and glared at him. "I was worried that you'd be killed by her. I have bad blood with Everleigh. Who knows if she'd do something to you in private."
He looked at her with a face full of disdain. If Everleigh really did harbor such an idea, she wouldn't have saved him. Sometimes, he really couldn't understand what his mother was thinking.
"I'll tell you what, if it wasn't for Everleigh's presence, many things would not have happened in the Godfrey family..." Madison pinned the blame on her for everything that had happened. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Xavier, on the other hand, roared angrily, "Enough!
I'm very tired. Get out right now. I don't want to see you."
Madison was upset by his roar. The words were stuck at her throat and she couldn't finish her sentence.
He knew that she would not leave. He pressed the button to ring for an assistant. It didn't take long for the nurse to come over.
"Mr. Godfrey, is there anything wrong?"
"Escort this person out please. I'm tired," he said emotionally. Madison's temper flared up when she saw him behaving in such a way. "You are ungrateful. I came to see you out of kindness."
"Madam Allen, please go back. It's time for your infusion," the nurse said in a low voice. She was familiar with her as she came to see him everyday.
Madison opened her mouth. When she saw Xavier's cold expression, her heart tightened. The son whom she'd missed so much had treated her poorly.
She got up and walked out. At the door, she saw Theodore and Everleigh. She could tell at a glance that both of them had been standing there for a very long time.
"Why are the two of you here? Xavier is tired, he doesn't want to see you." Her attitude was extremely bad, and she wanted to vent her anger on the two of them.
Unfortunately, both of them looked at her coldly, as if they were looking at an unfortunate person. She couldn't stand their stares. "What's with the looks?"
"You are really pitiful. The one whom you cared about the most has also hurt you the most. Madam Allen, when will you realize your own shortcomings?" Everleigh said softly and coldly, and there was no emotion in her dark eyes except sympathy.
Madison was even more flustered and exasperated. She raised her hand, wanting to hit her, but Theodore stopped her before she could even make her move. "What are you trying to do?"
"You b*stard." Madison was unwilling to give up, so she immediately launched a kick at him.
He didn't dodge and allowed her to hit and scold him. Everleigh's heart was filled with unhappiness. She grabbed her hand and shouted angrily, "Enough, this is the hospital. What are you doing here?"
Madison lost her temper and slapped her in the face. Theodore's face turned cold and he grabbed Madison's hand, refusing to let go. "Are you done with the hitting?"
He roared angrily. He couldn't wait for the entire floor to hear him.
Seeing the situation getting out of control, the nurse quickly asked someone to pull them away.
When the other nurses heard this, they gathered around and grabbed Madison, preventing her from taking action. This attracted quite a few onlookers. "Everleigh, you think you can talk to me just because you're with him? Let me tell you, I'm Theodore's mother. No one can change the fact," Madison said as she struggled.
Theodore ignored her and turned to look at Everleigh. He reached out to touch her swollen face and asked, "You okay? Let's go apply the medicine."
She shook her head; it wasn't necessary to apply medicine.
"Take her back to the ward," she said in a low voice. Madison was taken away. As she was taken away, she shouted, "Everleigh, wait and see. I won't let it pass easily."
Madison's voice gradually faded away. Although the corridor was packed with people, it was so quiet you could hear a needle drop.
Everleigh glanced at Theodore, took his hand, and went into Xavier's ward.
He had overheard what was happening at the door, but he had no strength and couldn't get up. He could only listen to their dispute.
When the two of them came in, he saw Everleigh's face, which was red and swollen, and the marks on Theodore's clothes.
"Theodore..." He called out softly.
Theodore shook his head. He didn't know what to do with this matter.
