Chapter 1149
After leaving the ward, Melinda was packing food at the hospital entrance when she suddenly heard two young girls in front of her discussing with their heads down over their phones.
“Quick, look at this trending topic, wasn’t Brycen Madeline’s boyfriend?! I remember when Madeline was promoting her new show, he picked her up and dropped her off several times!”
“Hehe, either they broke up, or he was just playing around with Madeline. After all, the Carney Group is big capital, how could they possibly fancy a small star!”
“You’re right. I feel the same way. But poor Madeline, I heard she’s still in the hospital, and her boyfriend has already started to be linked with other female celebrities.”
“What’s there to pity? Those big–budget movies she was in might have all been obtained through connections with Brycen. She got what she wanted, it’s just a matter of mutual benefit!”
The voices of the two people talking gradually faded away. Melinda gave a cold laugh, her face full of satisfaction.
It served Madeline right to be dumped, since she didn’t help her own family. If she had been willing to help Apollo seek justice back then, she might even have let Apollo confront Brycen now. But she certainly wouldn’t do such a thing for this ungrateful daughter now!
After packing up the food and returning home, Melinda treated this incident as a joke and told Apollo about it.

After listening, however, Apollo did not show the cheerful expression she had expected, but instead his face changed dramatically.
“You said Brycen was already with another woman?!”
Meeting her son’s shocked gaze, Melinda nodded. “Yes, what’s wrong? It’s a good thing for us that she was dumped by Brycen. Only in this way will she realize that without the help of her family, she is nothing!”
Apollo kept a straight face and didn’t say a word, thinking about the things Brycen had said to him in the hospital room that day. At the time, he hadn’t given it much thought, but now he wondered if it was because Brycen had grown tired of Madeline, which was why he refused to help.
“Mom, don’t worry about this matter. Once I recover from my illness. we will go back.”
Melinda frowned, “Are we really just going back like this?”
Apollo gave her a cold glance, “Or what? If you think Madeline will still treat you well, you can stay in Haseton and see if she will pay attention to you!”
Melinda’s face turned pale, she stammered, “I just… just wanted to seek justice for you…”
“You thought Haseton was that little place called Happiness Village?!”
Seeing Apollo’s contemptuous expression, Melinda stammered, “Alright, I understand…”
In the following few days, neither of them made any moves, and Madeline was also happily at ease.
Soon, the doctor informed her that she could be discharged.

Upon returning home, the first thing Madeline did was to invite Briana Cameron over to her house.
When Briana Cameron arrived, Madeline was cutting fruit with a crutch, a sight that terrified Briana Cameron.
She quickly stepped forward and took the fruit knife from Madeline’s hand, frowning. “Your leg hasn’t healed yet, you need at least two to three months of rest. Let your assistant do things like cutting fruit.”
Madeline nodded, “I just wanted to try. I can’t always rely on others.”
“Just during this period of time.”
“Mm–hmm.”
“You go sit on the sofa first, I’ll come over once I finish cutting.”
Five minutes later, Briana Cameron placed a plate of cut fruit on the table, looking at Madeline sitting across from her, “What did you call me over for today?” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“The main thing is that I wanted to apologize to you. About the Apollo incident, if I had known earlier, you wouldn’t have been taken to the police station.”
Meeting her guilt–ridden gaze, Briana Cameron fell silent for a few seconds, her face turning incredibly unsightly.
“Madeline, you’ve already severed ties with Apollo, and there’s no way you could have predicted what he was going to do. Why are you apologizing?! Was that agreement signed for nothing?!“
