Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1667



Although Freddy was being scolded, he didn't feel the least bit resented but warmed instead.

"Alright, alright. I know what I did was wrong. I'll definitely tell you in the future."

With that, he ruffled Mashauva's hair. "Don't be mad at me anymore."

She immediately softened up. "Freddy, I don't mean to be fierce, but since we're friends, we should look out for each other. Now that your mom's hospitalized, we should come."

She looked exceptionally sincere, her gaze as pure as the driven snow, not a slither of impurity within.

Freddy knew she really treated him as a friend.

He was both happy and sad.

Happy that she cared about him and saw his matters as her own.

But sad that she only saw him as a friend and all that will ever be for him.

Then, he happened to notice the necklace she was wearing; he had never seen it on her before.

"Seven Stars with Moon?" he blurted as he stared at the necklace.

Stumped, it took her a second to understand what he was talking about, and with that, she blushed.

"Yeah, I got it as a birthday present yesterday."

She didn't say who it was from, but Freddy could guess from her expression without asking.

How could Bruno not understand what Freddy was feeling?

However, there were certain things he just had to face.

He asked faintly, "Where is your mother?"

"C'mon, I'll take you guys there."

With that, he led the way while Bruno and Mashauva followed behind.

"My mother had the operation yesterday, and she's doing quite well today. But the doctor advised her to rest as much as she can, and she is still weary, so I don't think she'll be able to speak with you for long."

"That's okay," Mashauva said thoughtfully. "She should rest. It's fine even if she doesn't speak. We're just here to see how she's doing." When Freddy led them into the ward, a nurse was giving his mother a shot, so they waited by the side.

It didn't take long for the nurse to be done and leave.

Only then did they step forward.

"Mom, Bruno and Mashauva are here to visit you."

Because of the surgery, Madeline looked much more haggard. However, when she heard Bruno and Mashauva had come to visit her, she tried her best to appear more lively.

"Bruno and Mashauva? Freddy, help me up."

"No, no, it's fine." Mashauva hurriedly went up to her and said gently, "You've just gone through an operation. Please don't stress yourself."

Her voice was soft, and so were her hands, unlike Freddy's, which were bony and uncomfortable to the touch.

Madeline looked at Mashauva with a loving smile.

"Oh, girls are the best. If it weren't for my weak body, I would've given Freddy a sister."

Hearing that, Freddy couldn't help twitching his lips. "Mom, why does it sound like you're complaining I'm not doing a good job taking care of you?" "No matter how you're not as lovely as her. What? Are you trying to compete with her?"

With that, he twitched his lips, not saying any more.

Mashauva could tell Madeline preferred girls, so she said sweetly, "Madam Madeline, I can come and visit you every day. I'm on school break anyway."

"Oh, how could I ask that of you?" Madeline said, shaking her head.

"Don't worry about it. It's no trouble at all."

After some thought, Madeline nodded and said, "Alright then. Get Freddy to pick you up."

Sensing what his mother was trying to do, Freddy interrupted, "Nah, Bruno will naturally do it."

"Sorry for troubling you, Bruno."

Indifferent, Bruno replied, "Not at all. Do take care."

After chatting for a while, Madeline gradually grew fatigued, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep after Freddy tucked her in.

Then he escorted Bruno and Mashauva to the exit.

"Now that you've visited, you can head back. Don't come over if you don't have to."

"But Freddy, I've already promised your mom I'd come every day."

"She's too tired to know what she's saying. No need to come every day. It's already nice that you guys came today."

Bruno suddenly spoke up, "I'll bring Mashauva over every day."

Seeing that Freddy was looking at him with surprise, he explained, "It'll be good if she can keep your mom company while she recovers."

It seemed that Freddy didn't have any more reason to refuse, but he could tell that Bruno had also sensed what his mother was planning.

Everyone knew, except for Mashauva, still the foolish girl she was.

"Fine. Why don't you guys head back for now."

On their way to the car, Mashauva looked up at Bruno.

"Bruno."

"What's up?"

"Why is Freddy the only one taking care of his mother if she is ill?"

Stumped, he suddenly didn't know how to explain Freddy's family situation to her. It was rather complicated; his father... He had a mistress and even started a family with her. However, Freddy's mother wasn't willing to get a divorce.

And as such, Freddy's father was absent all year round. Even if he wanted to come back occasionally, his mistress would not let him.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

By contrast, Freddy's father was more inclined to listen to her.

If he were to tell Mashauva all that...

With that thought in mind, he said faintly, "Maybe everyone's busy with work, or maybe like us, visiting and leaving straight after. After all, you saw how tired Madam Madeline was. It won't do her good if she keeps being disturbed."

"Yeah, you're right." Mashauva nodded. Then, a thought struck her. "But if Freddy's the only one there all the time, he'll wear out eventually, won the? I noticed his eyes were bloodshot."

He could tell the girl's heart ached for Freddy. Although it was normal for her to feel so, he still felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart. Thinking that it was despicable for him to be feeling so, he said, "Then I'll come and help him look after his mother."

"Really? You're the best, Bruno!"

With that, he ruffled her hair and said, "C'mon, let's go back. Get a good rest once you're home. Well come over tomorrow."

"Okay."

In the ward.

Freddy was about to pour a glass of water after sending Mashauva and Bruno away when his mother suddenly spoke.

"You stupid child, I created an opportunity for you, yet you chose to push her away."

Startled by the sudden voice, he turned to look at his mother and said, "Mom, weren't you asleep?"
