The Villain's Wife Chapter 652 Concern

The Villain's Wife 652 Concern

"Adalind!" Charlotte dramatically exclaimed. She used her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes widened at her daughter's state. "Someone help us. She's injured." She then turned towards the people surrounding them before finally sitting her sight on Zhou Jingren. "Please someone carry her." She pleaded.

She watched as Adalind's face contorted. "Ahhh!" she cried out in pain. Seeing this, a sudden panic rose within Charlotte, she felt that she did not use a lot of force into pus.h.i.+ng her daughter towards the floor. However, since Adalind was still recovering from her surgery, she quickly lost her balance and fell.

"Please someone." She eyed Zhou Jingren and Lily's blank expression.

"Mrs. Swanson, we already called the ambulance. We can't really touch Miss Brooke because we still don't know what is wrong with her. We are not medical experts and we have no knowledge in first aid either." The attendant named Jai uttered. While she was following the duo so she did not see Charlotte push her own daughter onto the floor.

Seeing Charlotte and Adalind act like clowns, Lily sneered inwardly. When the duo caught her eyes earlier, the first thing that she did was look at Adalind's feet. Of course, she was not able to see it as she was wearing a black long gown. However, she instantly wondered why someone who just had surgery a couple of days ago, would attend an event like this.

She eventually figured that Adalind was not wearing heels, however, wasn't this madness? What kind of mother would allow her daughter to endanger herself like this? Unknowingly, Lily put her hand on her stomach. She then eyed Adalind on the floor and Charlotte's panicked expression.

Did Charlotte expect Zhou Jingren to carry her daughter? As expected, Charlotte was indeed looking at Zhou Jingren, her eyes pleading.

"Let's go?" she heard Zhou Jingren say. "They are done with our photos." He said as he turned his head away from the duo. In response, Lily smiled and nodded. Adalind might be tall but she is skinny. To carry her, one does not need to be as tall as Zhou Jingren. She gave the duo one last look before sending Charlotte a provoking smile.

She was petty, alright?

When Charlotte saw Lily's provoking smile, she immediately exploded. "You— Where are you going? Hey! You two! Where are you going?"

"Mrs. Swanson, they are invited guests. Mr. Zhou is someone that the board of judges specially nominated. Please refrain from shouting at them like that. This is still a formal event, after all."

"You— " Charlotte glared at the woman. "Where is the ambulance? Why is no one carrying my daughter to safety? How could that man just leave like that? He was big enough to help my daughter leave this place! Can't everyone see? My daughter needs help!"

Charlotte added, "Why is no one helping my daughter?"

"Mrs. Swanson, our first aid team are already on their way. Please— "

Charlotte did not listen to the attendant's words, she kneeled in front of Adalind. "Are you alright? Does it really hurt? Didn't you drink a pain reliever before coming in here?" she asked. Her daughter just had surgery and one of her prescriptions were pain relievers. So why was she still in pain?

After much deliberation, Charlotte concluded that she did not use any extreme force to push her daughter down. So… she shouldn't have reacted this way. Charlotte frowned. Maybe her daughter was acting with her?

"You b*tch!" Adalind hissed, her sweat trickled on her forehead. "Get away from me!"

"But— " She eyed her daughter's foot that was still wrapped in bandages.

"I should just have listened to Aunt Eleonor! Get away from me!" Adalind said, her voice hoa.r.s.e as she fought her urge to grab this woman's head and slam it on the floor. What kind of mother was Charlotte Swanson? What kind of mother would deliberately hurt their daughter just to gain attention?

"How dare you talk to your mother like that? I was only being concerned. This— "

"Get her away from me." Adalind eyed Jai and a couple other men that were standing next to her. "Get this woman away from me! She is trying to kill me! Call the police."

"What— What are you talking about?"

"Please! Someone call the police! Someone is trying to kill me!"

Charlotte widened her eyes at her child's antics. How could Adalind misinterpret her actions? She was only trying to help! "Adalind… you are ill. Stop this now." She turned towards Jai. "How far is the ambulance? She's hallucinating. She needs medical attention as soon as possible."

"I am not crazy! Just please… someone… get this woman away." Tears started to stream down Adalind's face. Disbelief flooded inside her as she stared at the monster of a woman that gave birth to her. She then recalled Elenor's disappointed face when she asked her to leave the country. She should have just listened to her. She should have just stayed away.

"Mrs. Swanson… may I advise you to leave the premises? Miss Brooke is currently injured. It is not good to agitate her even more. Plus… we are distracting the other businessmen that are coming for their photo shoot. The Ambulance is— Oh…. They are here." Jai and her people instantly let the medical personnel examine Adalind while Charlotte dialed a number on her phone.

"Husband," she said when the man from the other line picked up the call. "I was bullied." She added, her voice hoa.r.s.e. "Please… I want to come home. My daughter does not want to talk to me anymore. Please… book a ticket for me as soon as possible. Alright. Thank you. I love you." She then ended the call and eyed Adalind who was now being loaded onto a stretcher.

She was sure Adalind would hate her after this. So she decided to give her s.p.a.ce and just leave Hong Kong. She knew no matter what happened her daughter would still forgive her soon. All Adalind needed was time. After all, Charlotte Swanson was still Adalind's mother. And she would stay as her mother until she died.

She narrowed her eyes at the entrance of the hall. That Lily and Zhou Jingren would experience her retaliation soon.
