Chapter 153 There Was Nothing Left
A moment later, outside the ward.

Xander and Caden walked outwards, with the father and son standing side by side, exuding an intimidating aura.

Xander stood with his hands behind his back and calmly said, “Were you with Madelynn last night?”
“Um.”
Caden agreed with a sound.
Xander nodded, “You’re not young anymore, it’s time for you to settle down and start a family. If Madelynn can handle the matters at the mine, you shouldn’t worry too much about the Bradford family.”
“Um.”
“Alright, stop escorting me. Go and accompany Madelynn, don’t get distracted anymore.”
Xander didn’t say much, but in those few words, he knew Caden understood the underlying meaning.
As the elevator door closed, Keith walked out from the adjacent door.
“Mr. Caden, the butler did indeed go to check the surveillance footage on the road section from yesterday.”
“Oscar.”
Caden stood by the window and lit a cigarette, his half–closed eyes blurred in the smoke that spread angrily from his fingertips.
Emitting a deep and dangerous aura all over his body, with his ink–black eyes deep and burning; Keith, who had been following him for many years, felt a chill run down his spine.
It seemed as if something terrifying was spreading all around.
Keith swallowed hard and after much consideration, he decided to take out what was behind him.
Scarf.
“Mr. Caden, this is what Ms. Lindsey threw at me, saying if I give it to her again… she’ll burn it.”
Caden took the scarf without any emotion and said, “Let’s go.”
“That Ms. Bradford…”
Keith pointed to Madelynn’s hospital room, but immediately shut his mouth and pressed the elevator button when he saw Caden’s cold gaze.
Went downstairs and got in the car.
Keith immediately put away the cheap scarf on the car seat.
“Give it to me.” Caden took Beatrice’s scarf and, instead, handed his expensive scarf to Keith. “Put it away.”
Keith hesitated for a moment, but still folded the cashmere scarf neatly and put it into the box.

Caden lowered his gaze, hiding all eye expressions.

Fingertips gently rubbed the scarf, feeling the texture of the synthetic fabric, which was slightly stiff, but seemed to still retain something on it.

Beatrice held Monica’s hand all the way, and Monica cried the whole time.
In the end, she did not dare to go to crowded places.
It could only stop in the sparsely populated small garden.
“Don’t cry, someone who doesn’t know might think I did something terribly wrong.”
“I’m sorry, Beatrice, I was just so useless,” Monica choked out, full of self–blame.
“It’s not your fault. It’s my fault for dragging you down. If it weren’t for me being a burden, perhaps you wouldn’t have been so troubled in the Baldwin family.”
Beatrice pulled a smile at Monica.
Monica saw how reluctantly she was smiling and immediately hugged Beatrice, crying in pain.
“Nonsense! You were never my burden! Don’t think like that!”
“I knew, I knew.”
Beatrice heard it, her eyes welled up with tears, she felt like crying herself.
She was about to burst into tears, when Monica suddenly screamed.
“Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about the important matter.”
Beatrice sniffed and distanced herself from Monica,
“What’s the matter?”
Monica took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, calming herself down and said, “Didn’t you ask me to keep
me to keep an eye on Sara? I just heard that she is going to have a party at a bar the day after tomorrow, and Madelynn will definitely go too.”
She said as she took out a card from her bag, with a red background and black letters.
Lover, next to it is a silhouette of a woman made up of lines.
Familiar for no apparent reason.
Monica pointed at the card and said, “I inquired, and this bar was opened by Sara’s crush.”
Beatrice paused and looked again at the silhouette of the woman on the card, which bore a striking resemblance to Madelynn.
Still in a state of being naked.
It seems that there was no mistake.
Monica worriedly asked, “Beatrice, what are you going to do?”
Beatrice put away the cards and said lightly, “It’s nothing, just wanted to figure out some things. Don’t worry.”
Unable to get her to explain, Monica gave up after a couple of admonitions. ‘ After Monica got on the car, Beatrice just received a phone call from the local express delivery. “Miss, are you at home? There is an item of yours that needs to be signed for.”

“I arrived home in about half an hour.”
Beatrice knew for sure that her phone had been fixed.
Mers
She used to be afraid of long nights and many dreams, so she paid the phone repair shop owner extra money in the middle and had her phone repaired as a priority.
The deliveryman replied, “Okay, I will come to deliver the package in half an hour.”
As soon as she hung up the phone, Beatrice immediately hailed a taxi and went back.
Just as she happened to meet the deliveryman downstairs, Beatrice quickly went upstairs and opened the package after signing for it.
When the phone turned on, she inexplicably became nervous.
She had to figure everything out.
But when she opened the album, she stood frozen in place.
His
gaze immediately became unfocused, as if he had lost his focus, and everything in front of him became blurry.
The mobile phone fell to the ground with a loud bang.
She also sat down helplessly, and after a few seconds of stiffness, she reluctantly picked up her phone and searched for what she wanted over and over again.
However, the mobile phone had already wiped out everything.
There was nothing left!
Beatrice’s mind went blank, and it took her a while to grasp a thread of thought before quickly dialing the phone number of the repair shop owner.
Without waiting for the other person to speak, she loudly demanded, “Where are the things in my phone?”
The boss paused for a moment and said blankly, “Miss, this is how you gave it to me before.
“It was impossible.”
“Miss, I really didn’t lie. We have unpacking and repair videos, and I can send them all to you.”
Soon, the boss sent a video.
The entire process, from receiving the package to conducting machine testing, was monitored. The test also revealed that Beatrice’s delivered phone had nothing inside, like a brick.
She stared at the monitor and within few seconds, she knew everything.
a
He grabbed the repaired phone and smashed it out.
“Ah!”
It was Caden.
The last time she came out of the mobile phone store, she was followed, and it was him she encountered.
He only needed to catch people and ask them a few questions to know what they wanted. Beatrice, however, chose to secretly send the package at night because she was worried about being followed again.

But it happened to give Caden an opportunity.

Beatrice helplessly pounded the floor, unable to accept her repeated failures.
Caden, since you were able to tolerate Madelynn even in such situations, why can’t you forgive me?
Why?
Why!
Beatrice felt so upset that she became speechless and could only curl up on the ground. Until, the doorbell rang.
She didn’t want to pay attention at first, but the other party seemed relentless, repeating it over and over again.
She could only prop up her body, took a few deep breaths, and glanced at the peephole.
We were neighbors.
“Ms. Lindsey? Ms. Lindsey! Are you okay?”
Beatrice opened the door and said, “It’s nothing.”
The neighbor was taken aback when she saw her face: “You call this nothing? Luckily, I got off work early today. There’s a new dessert shop near our company, and I brought you something. When you’re feeling down, just have something sweet.”
Beatrice looked at the small cake she had brought up and her nose started to feel sour.
The neighbor was taken aback, “Did I, did my old problem come back again? I have to inquire today, don’t I? You should eat something first.”
“Thank
you. Audrey.”
She remembered that her neighbor was called Audrey, and her username in the homeowners group was Warm–hearted Audrey.
Audrey laughed and said, “Let’s go. Let’s eat together.”
She took Beatrice to her house.
I specially

tea set
for Beatrice
with
full ceremonial feeling.

Catrice didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until she had eaten half a piece of cake.
Today, for a change, she didn’t gossip. She consoled, “Don’t overthink it. As long as you’re alive, there’s always a way. If you’re feeling down, just like me, find some melon to eat.”
Beatrice felt really upset, but after hearing Audrey’s words, she inexplicably felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
After chatting for a while, Beatrice’s mood gradually calmed down.
Audrey was right, as long as a person is not dead, there is still a way, especially considering that she has already died once.
At that moment, her mind was filled with the card Monica had given her…
