‘As Madeline lay back down, she caught a glimpse of Augustus who was lying on the couch. She turned towards him angrily.
She originally wanted to scold him, but when she saw that his arms were in casts and that he looked weak, she couldn’t help but feel curious.
Augustus, who had noticed her actions, grumbled. “Are you an idiot? How could you be tricked into going to that place?”
“Hey! Don’t you know how to speak properly? Even if you shut your mouth, no one will treat you as a mute.”
No matter what, Madeline wouldn’t let a man bully her. Plus, he wasn’t qualified to criticize her. If it wasn’t for the kindergarten.
At the thought of this, she asked in horror, “Where’s Aurora? Who were those people who called me?”
Augustus took a deep breath. He didn’t want to say anything else to this crazy woman in case she angered him to death.
Of course, Gerald, who was behind him, became most useful during this time. He hurriedly stepped forward and explained. “Miss West, you’ve been deceived. Aurora is still in school and hasn’t left. President Astor has already called to confirm. If you don’t believe me, we can bring her to see you after
you’re better.”
Hearing that, Madeline also felt that there was something fishy about the matter, but she couldn’t be bothered about that right now. After all, her daughter and her had depended on each other all these years, so she definitely couldn’t think properly after knowing that her daughter might be in danger.
Madeline continued to ask, “Then what happened exactly? My neck and head hurt; someone must have knocked me out.”
Madeline couldn’t remember much about what happened back there, except that she was suddenly attacked, and didn’t even have the chance to react.
Gerald continued to explain. “After you scolded President Astor…” He noticed a scary gaze coming his way and immediately skipped over those words.
“After you contacted President Astor, he immediately sensed that something was wrong on your end. So, he immediately contacted the school and found out that nothing happened. He then tracked you down and found the mall. Miss West, guess how President Astor’s injuries came about?”
Gerald deliberately created some suspense, making Madeline a little speechless. However, when she heard that her daughter was safe and sound, she relaxed.
“It can’t be because President Astor saved me, right?” Madeline would rather believe that he was hit by a car. She didn’t believe that it was because he saved her.
However, Gerald nodded his head firmly and said, “Your guess is right. At that time, you were thrown down from the third floor by the criminal. It was President Astor who risked his life to catch you. Look, both his arms were fractured and his ribs were broken. Otherwise, did you think that him getting in
an accident would happen so coincidentally?”
Madeline thought Gerald was amazing.
How could he have guessed her thoughts? Could Augustus’ assistant be a mind reader?
Madeline studied Augustus and tried her best to recall what had happened. Her head was about to split from her efforts when she finally recalled something.
She had indeed fallen down. And now, she was safe and sound because someone had caught her, and it was this person before her.
Madeline was still very shocked and touched. “Mr. Astor, thank you for saving me, but you are responsible too, because you didn’t tell me the school’s contact details.”
Augustus took a deep breath to prevent himself from rushing forward to strangle her.
“I saved your life. It’s not something that you can conclude with just a word of thanks.”
‘When Madeline saw his expression, she felt that she was in trouble. However, she was still very touched at the thought that he had really saved her.

Augustus glanced at her and replied coldly, “Go to my house!”
This short sentence could easily arouse suspicion. Even Gerald’s jaw dropped.
Madeline made her thoughts clear. “It’s impossible for me to marry you.”
“You’re crazy. Who wants you to marry me? I want you to move into my house from today onwards and take on the responsibility of taking care of Hugo. Anyway, Aurora is in the same school and class as him, so it’s easier to take care of them together.”
Augustus was used to instructing people, so he spoke casually. He had no idea how Madeline felt.
She hated this family. How could she move in?
‘The more she wanted to keep a distance from the Astor Family, the more she got pulled in. Madeline felt that God was joking with her.
Augustus added. “Also, your situation is a little dangerous. Are you sure you want to live with your child like this? Come to my house first. I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter.”
The mall wasn’t open for business yet, so the surveillance cameras hadn’t been activated. There were no records of what happened that day, and the surveillance cameras nearby had also been destroyed.
Hearing this, Madeline was a little tempted. It was indeed as he said, she was currently facing some small problems.
Of course, she had a suspect in mind, and that was Courtney.
This woman didn’t successfully kill her five years ago. Now that she saw her getting close to Augustus, she must have been desperate.
Fine then, she would just move in brazenly and let that woman suffer.
“Okay, I’ll listen to your arrangement and move in with Aurora first.”
Augustus immediately asked someone to arrange for Madeline to stay in the hospital for the day before she returned to the Astor mansion.
As for Aurora, when she found out that her mother was sick, she obediently followed Hugo back after school.
Madeline realized that her crazy daughter seemed to have returned to normal after spending time with Hugo.
Augustus wanted his son to follow her because he wanted to change his personality. However, she gradually realized that Aurora was also changing.
After moving into the Astor residence, many people said that Madeline was his mistress, and even gave birth to a daughter for him.
Because these two children looked close to fifty percent similar, and were so close to each other, it was no wonder why others would misunderstand their relationship.
However, as Augustus had casts on both his arms, he needed someone to feed him when he was at home.

“Come, open your mouth and eat slowly!”
Madeline naturally took on this responsibility. Of course, this was the result of Augustus calling himself her ‘savior’.
Anyway, this was how she fed her daughter back then. She just treated it as raising an older son.
‘The two children on the opposite side watched with great interest, especially Hugo. He had successfully brought his mother back.
Hugo’s childish voice sounded. “Mommy, you have to sleep with Daddy later. He can’t take off his clothes by himself, can’t shower by himself, and can’t cover himself with a blanket. You have to help him, alright?”
