My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel Chapter 176

Rose Garden.

After receiving Maya's message, Madison quickly got out of the car. Disregarding anyone in her way, she hurriedly went towards the private room given by Cullen to look for Leo.

The usual ten-minute walk was forcefully completed in three minutes. Without caring about manners or etiquette, she pushed the door open and entered the private room.

The two people in the private room looked over and saw Madison gasping for hair as she supported herself against the door.

"Leo..."

She ran so fast that now she couldn't speak clearly. It took a while before she could even utter his name.

The man's dark eyes glanced indifferently in her direction. Seeing her, he continued sipping coffee in front of the table, showing almost no reaction.

Although he didn't say a word, his expression screamed at her to leave the room.

On the other hand, Cullen came over to help her up. "What's wrong, Jessica? Why the rush?"

Gasping for breath, Madison was weak and her legs felt sore. When Cullen's hand reached over, she grabbed it tightly to ease her painful breathing.

It had been too long since she had run so fast. It was as if she had experienced another race in school. She could not adapt for a moment. Even taking a breath was painful for her lungs.

"If you can't say it, then get lost."

No one knew when Leo turned to look at them. When his gaze landed on their joined hands, his expression turned dark.

Cullen was very dissatisfied with Leo's attitude. "Leo, can't you see how tired Jessica is? It's fine if you don't pour a glass of water for her to rest, but why are you speaking in such a tone?"

What kind of tone?

What tone should he use?

Wasn't it what she said herself – they divorced and no longer had any relationship with each other? What was she doing back here now?

Leo glanced at them with dark eyes. Even Cullen felt like an eyesore to him. "If you don't want to stay, you can get lost with her."

Cullen was about to flare up, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Madison.

She grabbed his sleeve, gave him a look, and stopped his actions.

Fortunately, Cullen was also obedient. He did not say anything when he was told not to. He simply raised his arm to give Madison support. He even maintained a good distance from her.

Madison only relied on his support for a short while. When her legs were no longer that sore, she withdrew her hand from Cullen's arm and looked up at Leo.

"I won't be staying long. Maya called and said that Amber collapsed when she went to the hospital for a physical examination today. She couldn't get through to you, so she called me. That's why I came to look for you. If you don't have anything more urgent right now, you should hurry to the hospital. For dinner, I'll bring some snacks from the back kitchen for you. If you mind the food at the hospital, then Cullen can also help you prepare something else."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Leo did not have much reaction. She was a little anxious. "Leo, Maya did not specify the situation on the phone. I only heard that she was very anxious. Hurry up and go over to the hospital."

The Palmer family didn't have many people left now. There was Leo as the only son, Amber came from the Masterwood family. Even if she still had relatives, she also wouldn't be able to rush over now. Leo was the only person that Madison could go to now.

However, the man remained calm and composed. He slowly got up from the dining table and leisurely walked over.

"Look who's in a hurry? Those who don't know better might think that she's your mother."

He walked up to Madison in just a few steps. Leo stopped in his tracks and his deep gaze was filled with mockery. "Didn't you say that we have nothing to do with each other? Why are you here now? Are you pretending to be a kind person?"

"Leo, what's wrong with you?" Cullen could not take it anymore and could not help but speak.

Madison pursed her lips and closed her eyes tiredly.

Madison lowered her head and looked at the time. She was feeling a little conflicted. "Why don't you go with Cullen? I won't go."

Logically speaking, she should go and visit. No matter what, Amber was still her elder. Even though she had already divorced Leo, the bond of many years was not something that could be completely severed easily. Moreover, Maya had called her just now. It would be inappropriate to not pay a visit.

But Joe would be here soon...

She did not dare to look into Leo's eyes. "Hurry up and go over quickly. I'll visit Amber tomorrow morning. It's not very auspicious to visit at this time..."

She was using etiquette as an excuse. It was more common to visit friends and relatives during a patient's recovery in the morning.

Leo sneered. "But Madison, didn't you say we should until we return from the hospital before discussing my logic?"

Madison was momentarily speechless.

Before she could say anything, she was dragged away once again. However, this time, she wasn't dragged by the wrist, but by the back of her collar.

She suspected that if she was any lighter, she would have been picked up by Leo like an object.

Fortunately, after leaving Rose Garden, he was no longer as rough as before. He only pushed her forward in consideration of her shorter legs, Leo still walked at an unhurried pace.

Madison did not feel that it was slow as she was being pushed. Cullen, who was following behind him, could not stand it anymore. "Leo, can't you be more normal? How long are you going to drag this on? Amber might already be discharged by the time we get to the hospital."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

Leo was not in a hurry. After opening the car's back door, he first pushed Madison inside and threw the car keys to Cullen. His intentions were obvious.

Madison, who was forced to get into the car, whispered, "It's indeed better if she's discharged, but the current situation doesn't make any sense. It's better to be slightly faster..."

Leo glanced at her coldly and sneered. "I'm not a doctor. Can I save her life if I rush over?"
