The ward was quiet, with only the sound of the whirring ceiling fan.
The wind blew the hair on Maddox's forehead. He looked up and his voice suddenly faded.
"I think... it's nothing."
Perhaps he had seen wrongly.
It was just a quick glimpse, and then she disappeared. Maybe he was mistaken.
Abigail saw the coldness in his eyes and thought of what he had just said. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Is this why you had a car accident?"
Maddox didn't say anything. It was obvious that he was admitting to it.
At that time, he only just looked over, and he saw the outline of her profile, which was very similar to the one in his memory, but it quickly disappeared from his sight.
However, he had been in a daze for a long time, as if his thoughts and mind had been pulled from his memory. When he came back to his senses, the car had already hit him.
Fortunately, he was good at driving, so he managed to avoid the incoming car.
However, his car also hit the guardrail and he was a little hurt.
It was not a serious injury. He would need to stay in the hospital for a couple of days and if nothing went wrong, he would be discharged soon.
Abigail heaved a long sigh. "It seems like you still remember her after so many years, but she hasn't been around for so many years. Are you sure you saw her? I guess... it was just an illusion, right?"
An illusion?
Maddox laughed self-mockingly in his heart.
"Maybe."
Seeing Maddox in such a low mood, Abigail didn't know what to say to comfort him. Although he had never been in a good mood in the past five years, he really looked like he was still trapped in love.
As his elder, she didn't want to always see him so depressed.
Thinking of this, she said, "Well, you can't go on like this all the time. After you leave the hospital this time, I will find you some girlfriends, and then you can go on a blind date."
Maddox frowned unhappily when he heard that. "Aunt, what did you say?"
"What? Do you really intend to stay single for the rest of your life? Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you want to remain single, but what about me? How old am I now? I am afraid that when I go to find your mother, she will blame me for not taking good care of you. After all, you were personally entrusted to me by your mother!"
Maddox grew even more displeased when he heard about the matter again. His expression was dark and he did not reply.
Abigail realized that she had said too much, so she lowered her voice.
"Anyway, just have a meet up no matter what. You no longer look like Maddox who used to sit in a wheelchair. Don't always be paranoid, do you understand?"
Many women used to like Maddox's face, but when they saw that he was crippled, they would despise him. However, they wanted the Yardley family's background as well. That was also the reason why they wanted to date him.
But most of the time, one could tell from their gazes and actions.
They loathed him for being a cripple.
Moreover, there was once a rumor that he had s*xual dysfunctions, and the girls would despise him even more.
However, things were different now. Maddox could walk and was no longer in a wheelchair anymore.
He was handsome with a good family background, and a good figure. Besides, he had a strong business acumen.
Who didn't like such a Maddox Yardley?
So many notable young ladies had come to him for so many years, but Maddox didn't even look at them. Abigail knew what he was up to. However, she didn't say anything.
"I'll tell you this. I don't care what you think in your heart, or if you regret it or not. I'll tell you that even if you do, it's useless. You were the one who proposed a divorce, right? You're the one who prevented her from joining the Yardley family. Even if you really see her, you have no right to do anything. Do you understand?"
