Finally, Aurora was brought back to the room that belonged to the mother and daughter. Then, Madeline chased Hugo out.
“Aurora, I think you’ve matured too much recently.”
“That’s because you don’t know how to grow up, Mommy. That’s why I must grow up quickly to protect you.”
Madeline didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. How on earth did she manage to raise her daughter to become like this? Besides Aurora’s cute and obedient face, there was also her height to remind her that she was still a child.
Otherwise, she would be worried that there was an adult living in her daughter’s body.
“Don’t worry, Mommy. At least I’m smarter than you. Seeing how shy you are, I’ll help you from now on. By that time, you can enter Daddy’s room as you please and won’t be chased out.”
Madeline couldn’t take it anymore and pinched her ear. “When did you see me acting shy? When did you become smarter than me? Also, when did you see me being chased out? If you don’t know how to talk, then shut up.”
“See, every time you can’t out-talk me, you get angry. Since you’re so angry, just hit me if you want to!”
But now, with Aurora’s pitiful look that matched Augustus’, it seemed like the father-daughter pair were really the same. They had Madeline in their grasp.
In order to show that she was really not angry, Madeline could only let go of Aurora’s ear. Then, she held her daughter in her arms and explained all kinds of principles to her. In the end, Aurora fell asleep without even hearing five sentences.
Madeline shook her head helplessly. Ironically, she had found a good way to get Aurora to fall asleep quickly.
‘The next morning, when Madeline brought Aurora to the dining table, Augustus and his son were already waiting for them.
Hugo’s originally lifeless face blossomed when he saw Madeline. He jumped off the chair and ran forward to hug her. “Mommy, I miss you so much!”
Augustus was puzzled. Why was Hugo so close to this woman? He had been at odds with Courtney since he was young, so he couldn’t understand why he treated Madeline differently.
Augustus coughed twice and glanced at his watch. “You have to be at the dining table before eight in the morning. We’ve already waited for twenty minutes today.”
Madeline gave him a resentful look, then walked over with the two little ones. He hadn’t told them about this beforehand, so who could he blame?
After the two children sat down, Madeline started to prepare to serve this man again, and she forced herself to put on a smile.
“L recall that you’re going back to the hospital for a follow-up today. Let me accompany you.”
Augustus paused for a moment before he shook his head. “Gerald will accompany me. You should go to work.”
“Tm just very concerned about your situation, so I want to go with you. I also want to know more about the subsequent care for your wounds.”
If she were to find out more, she might move out. Hence, Augustus wouldn’t give her the chance.
“I’m not used to being accompanied by outsiders!” He could only use such cold words to reject her good intentions.
Madeline’s enthusiasm was extinguished by his cold attitude, and she could not be bothered with him anymore.
After sending the two children away, Madeline returned to work.
However, she had no idea that after she left, Augustus, who was supposed to be seriously injured, could actually use his hand to call Gerald.

“Come and pick me up in half an hour!”
Gerald personally sent him to the hospital for a checkup.
Augustus was a martial arts practitioner, so he had suffered from all sorts of injuries from a young age. Although he had been injured when he had saved Madeline, it wasn’t so serious that it would take him months to recover.
After the report was out, Gerald was all smiles. “Congratulations, President Astor. Your hands are recovering very quickly. You can already do some daily tasks.”
However, there was no smile on Augustus’s face. Instead, he said sternly, “You’re wrong. My condition has worsened.”
Gearld was confused. He took out the report and placed it in front of Augustus. “That’s not right, President Astor. Just now, the doctor also said that as long as you continue your massage exercises, you will recover completely in a week.”
Augustus stared at him with a look of disappointment before he said slowly, “Don’t you know how to read people’s minds and in-between the lines? Or do you want me to go back and personally chase the mother and daughter pair out?”
Gerald’s mouth formed an ‘O’ shape. It turned out that President Astor was worried about Madeline and Aurora.
Although he didn’t know why President Astor suddenly favored these two people who appeared out of nowhere.
In any case, this was a good thing. At least he didn’t have that cold expression on his face anymore.
“Lunderstand, President Astor. Your condition has worsened. From now on, you need to be taken care of more carefully. I deeply sympathize with you.”
“That’s the way to go!”
As he spoke, Augustus wrapped another layer around his bandages to make it look more serious.
In the past, Augustus had never taken anyone seriously. Now, he had to use his own injuries to gain sympathy. Gerald was flabbergasted.
‘When Madeline returned at night, she saw Augustus sitting on the couch with a sullen expression.
She glanced at the two children, who were doing their homework, and walked over to Augustus.
“What’s wrong? Are the results not good?”
Augustus sighed. “The doctor said that my condition has worsened. I will go for a checkup again next week. I can’t do anything now.”
Thinking that it was all because of her, Madeline couldn’t help but frown. She had always been the most responsible person, so naturally she felt guilty.
“Don’t worry, I said I’ll take care of you until you recover.”
“What if I never recover?”
Madeline thought for a while and said awkwardly, “At the most, I’ll just continue to take care of you. Anyways, I can freeload at your house, and Aurora can go to school for free at the same time. It doesn’t seem like a bad thing.”
Augustus was secretly delighted, but he feigned calmness and nodded. “That’s settled then. I want to drink coffee, so you can grind the beans for me now.”
Although she was extremely unwilling, she could only do as he said since he was in a bad mood.

She continued to feed him during dinner. This feeling drove Madeline crazy, but she suppressed it.
Augustus had always liked obedient women, so this could be considered a form of training. Once this woman had gotten used to everything and could no longer leave him, she would be at his beck and call.
Madeline was supposed to deliver the clothes in two days. When she saw the exquisite clothes, she was delighted and immediately asked someone to send them to Mrs. Astor’s luxurious villa.
Madeline, who originally thought that she would be able to have a good rest after completing her work, suddenly received very bad news. It was that Mrs. Astor had flown into a rage after receiving the clothes she had sent over.
‘There were even rumors that she had cut the clothes into pieces on the spot because the design of the outfits were suspected to have been plagiarized.
