Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 810

But he was too solid to feel it; her own hand started to ache.

Finally, red-eyed with anger, Old Mrs. Quigley said, "If you choose not to divorce her, then you should treat her properly instead of fooling around with some other trashy woman!"

"You're being completely unreasonable!"

"You hurt her deeply, yet you refuse to let her go."

"If you don't love her, why not just set her free?"

Madeline didn't dare make a sound.

After Old Mrs. Quigley left, Felix stood outside smoking for over half an hour before returning to the hospital room, reeking of cigarettes.

Madeline acted as if nothing had happened, asking with an innocent expression if he wanted breakfast. She offered to have Genesis buy some.

"No, thanks. I have something to do later, so I won't be able to see you off at the airport," Felix said, his voice hoarse, his expression unreadable.

Madeline's throat tightened. "Felix, aren't you coming back with me?"

"You can go back by yourself," Felix repeated.

Madeline bit her lip, not daring to insist, and just nodded silently.

Felix looked at her, his gaze fixed on her eyes.

After a few seconds, he spoke softly, "Madeline, take care of your eyes."

After sending Felix away the night before, Claire had slept soundly.

In her dream, she saw her mother, whom she hadn't seen in so long.

She looked just as she did when she was young, elegant and beautiful.

When she smiled, she had lovely dimples on her cheeks, a trait Claire hadn't inherited.

In the dream, Claire was a child again, lying in the princess room her father had built for her, listening to her mother tell her a bedtime story.

The wonderful dream kept Claire asleep until noon, and she still didn't want to wake up.

If her grandmother hadn't called, she would have slept a little longer.

"Grandma," Claire answered sweetly.

Old Mrs. Quigley's heart melted. "My dear granddaughter, open the door. Grandma brought you your favorite pastries."
