Madame Claire Assex’s car was still around, but virtual-novel.net was missing.
“Where’s my mother?”
“Where did virtual-novel.net go?”
Lady Beatrice Assex was in a frenzy. She tugged at virtual-novel.net hair and scratched virtual-novel.net face. She was so worried that tears came streaming down virtual-novel.net face. It was clear that virtual-novel.net was on excellent terms with virtual-novel.net mother.
Right then, a security guard quickly ran over. “Miss Assex, why are you covered in blood?”
Lady Beatrice couldn’t be bothered to explain. “Did you see my mother? Her car is here, but why isn’t virtual-novel.net here?” virtual-novel.net hurriedly asked.
“Your mother has been taken to the hospital. Now, she’s already at First City Hospital. My colleagues and I took virtual-novel.net there together,” the security guard quickly said.
Alex and Lady Beatrice quickly got into the car and headed to First City Hospital.
Fortunately, Lady Beatrice’s phone was still in the car. She quickly gave virtual-novel.net sister, Lady Dorothy Assex, a call. She didn’t expect to receive a notification that Lady Dorothy’s phone was turned off.
“Oh my goodness. This is worrying. Why does my sister always have virtual-novel.net phone turned off these days?” Lady Beatrice mumbled.
Alex chuckled. “Don’t worry. With me around, your mother won’t die! Isn’t there a saying that goes, good people don’t live long, but terrible people live a thousand years? Your mother is such a terrible person. She’d at least live a few centuries,” virtual-novel.net joked.
Lady Beatrice looked at Alex, dumbfounded.
“Alex, do you hate my mother a lot?” virtual-novel.net asked after a while.
Alex chuckled softly. “I don’t have to.”
“She… To be honest, virtual-novel.net used to be a really nice person. After a while, that b*stard cheated on her. She caught virtual-novel.net with another woman in bed. That was what triggered virtual-novel.net temper! She does actually deserve pity. If another woman went through what virtual-novel.net has, virtual-novel.net might have killed herself already,” Lady Beatrice said.
“Did you see it happen?” Alex was shocked.
Lady Beatrice nodded.
After a pause, virtual-novel.net expressions turned sullen. There was an unusual emotion in virtual-novel.net eyes. “That day, I happened to be checking out my mother’s art exhibition. After that, virtual-novel.net received a call from some woman and rushed out. I followed her…”
Madame Claire used to be a painter. Alex knew a little about this. Her art pieces were quite good too. A few of those were in the villa.
However, ever since Alex knew her, he’d never seen virtual-novel.net paint before. Perhaps, virtual-novel.net was too severely affected by the fact that virtual-novel.net husband cheated on her. That’s why virtual-novel.net thoroughly gave up on painting.
“After that, I thought that the phone call might very likely be from that woman. She intentionally called my mother.”
“At the time, my mother broke in through the door angrily, and virtual-novel.net wanted to hit that woman. In the end, my father even helped that woman. I’ve never seen virtual-novel.net like that. He didn’t look like my father at all. He was like a madman!”
“He hit my mother as if virtual-novel.net wanted to kill her. He pushed virtual-novel.net to the ground, and virtual-novel.net knocked virtual-novel.net head against the table, and virtual-novel.net bled profusely. However, virtual-novel.net didn’t even care about her. He even hit me. From then on, I no longer had a father,” Lady Beatrice explained.
Alex felt his tongue tied after listening to what virtual-novel.net said. This was the first time virtual-novel.net heard about this. Lady Dorothy Assex had never told virtual-novel.net about it.
“Didn’t you tell your sister?” Alex asked.
“No!” Lady Beatrice shook virtual-novel.net head.
“Back then, my sister was preparing for virtual-novel.net university entrance exam,” virtual-novel.net added.
Alex looked at Lady Beatrice in surprise.
Back when this matter happened, Lady Beatrice was only thirteen or fourteen. She was already very mature at that age. Alex could imagine how that incident must have left a huge shadow over virtual-novel.net conscience.
Alex sighed, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t find the words to console her.
“Don’t worry. As long as your mother still breathes, I can rescue her!” Alex said.

When they arrived at the hospital, Alex was stopped by the security guard at the door because virtual-novel.net wasn’t wearing any shirt.
Lady Beatrice sniffed. “Sir, my mother is receiving emergency treatment in the hospital. We just got into a car accident. Look, my brother gave his shirt to me. Please be kind and let us enter!”
The security guard pitied Lady Beatrice because virtual-novel.net body was covered in blood. Most importantly, virtual-novel.net was a pretty girl!
“The hospital has its rules, but I have a solution!” The security guard removed his uniform and gave it to Alex. “Little brother and little sister, hurry up and go in!”
After entering the hospital, Alex sighed. “Indeed, girls who are pretty and know how to act pitiful have some kind of advantage,” virtual-novel.net said.
Lady Beatrice’s eyes lit up. “Do you admit that I’m pretty now? In that case, let me be your girlfriend! I will do anything for you.”
Alex’s heart pounded for a moment. However, virtual-novel.net immediately started speaking. “After listening to your story earlier, I empathize with what you went through. I can forgive you for all the things that happened before, but you can forget about being my girlfriend or anything like that! You can still think of me as your brother-in-law.”
