Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1000

The two officers' expressions instantly became incredibly awkward.

Madeline had cried until her eyes were swollen. When Felix walked in, she called out to him pitifully, sobbing so hard she could barely speak.

Felix offered a few words of comfort before turning to the two officers who had followed him in to grasp the situation.

Finally, he stated, "We would like to settle this matter privately."

The female officer looked at him with undisguised contempt.

The male officer, maintaining a professional demeanor, replied, "It's best if disputes like this can be resolved privately. After all, it's not a major issue."

"We'll handle it from here. Thank you for your time."

After seeing the police out, Felix turned his deep, predatory gaze toward Madeline, asking in a cold tone, "So, you injured your hand yourself?"

Madeline's eyes were red, and she didn't dare meet his gaze. "I... I just lost my mind out of anger. She insulted me first."

Felix stared at her, his deep voice betraying no emotion. "I see. I will handle this. Focus on recovering."

He paused, then added, "Stop crying. It's bad for your eyes."

...

By the time Felix returned to Old Mrs. Quigley's room, she was already awake and chatting with Claire.

Claire had a real talent for keeping the elderly happy, and the old woman's laughter frequently filled the room.

The housekeeper, standing near the door, saw Felix and pulled him aside, lowering her voice. "The old madam is in such a good mood right now. Please don't go in. Let her spend a little more time with the young madam."

Felix stopped in his tracks, ultimately respecting the housekeeper's wishes, and took a seat on a nearby bench.

Inside the room, the old woman was complaining about how stifling the hospital was and wanting to go home.

Claire coaxed her, "Once your test results come back tomorrow, you can go home."

"Besides, if you go home, you'll just be all by yourself. It'll be so boring without me there to chat with you."
