Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 789

Madeline had also heard the call. She quickly stood up and said, "Felix, I should go, so my cousin doesn't get the wrong idea."

But after just a few steps, she hissed in pain.

Felix rushed over to support her, frowning. "Is your foot still not better?"

Madeline's eyes welled with tears. "There were paparazzi squatting outside the hotel last night. I was afraid they'd write something scandalous, so I didn't go to the hospital. I just iced it myself in my room. It felt fine, but I think coming to see you aggravated the sprain, so it hurts a bit now."

"Then just stay here. I'll take you to the hospital later," Felix said immediately.

"But my cousin…"

"Don't worry about her," Felix interrupted, pressing her back down onto the bed. "Your injury is more important."

Madeline obediently sat back down on the bed.

At that moment, Claire and Noreen arrived outside the room, and Claire began pounding on the door.

Felix's brow furrowed again. He truly disliked this boisterous side of Claire. This was a hotel, a public place. It was terrible if she disturbed the other guests.

He hurried to open the door.

Claire was raising her hand to knock a second time when the door swung open.

Felix confronted her with a cold expression. "You're going to disturb the other guests."

Claire laughed, a bitter, angry sound. "Am I disturbing others, or am I disturbing you?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Move." Claire shoved him aside and stormed into the room.

The first thing she saw was Madeline sitting on the bed.

It was a suite. There were sofas, chairs, even the floor to sit on.

But Madeline was sitting on the bed.

The implication was blindingly obvious.
