Chapter 101
“It’s no trouble, Mr. Palmer. Please…”
Joe was not a petty person. Although he was trying to be polite when he offered Leo at ride to the hospital, since Leo agreed, Joe would not reject him.
Joe opened the backseat door for Leo and invited him in.
Joe glanced at Leo’s palm from the corner of his eye and vaguely saw blood seeping out of the wound. Joe realized that his wound was really deep
For a moment, he didn’t know if he should gloat or pity Leo..
He did not look anymore. After Leo sat down, Joe closed the car door and walked around to the driver’s seat to drive.
Madison closed her eyes as soon as she got into the car as if she had fallen asleep.
Leo and Joe did not speak either, so there was silence in the car on the way to the hospital.
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the hospital.
As soon as the car stopped, Madison opened her eyes and got out of the car as if she had not slept at all along the way.
When Joe parked the car and got out of the driver’s seat, Madison had already taken out her phone to look at Blanche’s messages.
“Miss Malone says that Antoine’s wound had already been bandaged. He is no longer in the consultation room. I think he’s at the payment counter. Shall we go over and pick him up?”
“Yep,” Joe replied..
“Let me go up first, and then we will meet up. Later we will arrange how we are going home. Miss Malone helped us send Antoine over. We can’t let her go back alone.”
As Madison spoke, she took out her phone and sent a message. Throughout the entire process, she did not look at Leo. It was as if he did not exist at all.
Leo was completely ignored.
He stood at the side and looked at them. He seemed especially pitiful.
It was Joe who realized it later. Just as he was about to follow Madison to pick up Antoine, Joe turned around and looked at him.
Chapter 101
“Mr. Palmer, we’re already at the hospital. Why don’t you go and seek medical treatment yourself?”
Although Leo was alone, with his status, he would not have any problems getting the best treatment at the hospital.
As for going home, Leo could just call Cullen or get his assistant to pick him up. There was no need to worry for him.
After exchanging pleasantries, Leo kept quiet.
Leo did not move either. He stood there like a rock and stared at Madison.
Madison still didn’t even look at him.
A man’s heart could be as hard as iron. Once a woman became heartless, she would not lose out to a man.
Joe could not bear to see her like this. “Jessica…
He gave Madison a look.
Although the Palmer and Daves families would definitely not be in-laws in the future, there was no need to be rude to one another.
It was better to have one more friend than one more enemy. It was not that Joe was afraid of the Palmer family. If their business connections could be more relaxed, collaboration would be smoother in the future. Joe would not need to worry about others causing trouble.
Moreover, judging from Leo’s expression tonight, Joe felt that this b astard still had some conscience.
It was probably because Leo had been deceived by the Hale family and forced to agree to the marriage arranged by his elders. It was really easy for a young man to become rebellious. That was why Leo treated Madison like that.
Joe did not intend to forgive his ex-brother-in-law, but as a man, he could understand.
Unfortunately, Madison still didn’t want to talk to Leo.
Her expression was calm as the wind blew past the hair on her forehead. The dim yellow street lamps by the road beside the hospital reflected on Madison’s face, showing her fatigue more clearly.
It was not that she hated Leo. After all, Leo had spoken up for her tonight. It was also his statement that led to Sally’s detention.

However, it was precisely because of Sally that Madison did not know how to face Leo.
She had mixed feelings. She felt that things shouldn’t have developed like this. After their divorce, they shouldn’t be involved anymore, and he shouldn’t have stepped forward to protect her.
As she could not figure it out, she chose to be in denial.
Therefore, she did not want to talk to Leo for the entire night. Even when Joe spoke to her, she also ignored him and only focused on Antoine.
Therefore, even though Joe had spoken, she still did not intend to have anything to do
with Leo.
Madison was too tired.
Just as Madison was about to ignore Joe’s eye signals, she saw Leo’s bl oody palm from the corner of her eye.
As Leo didn’t deal with it in time, the deep cut seemed to be infected. At this moment, it had already stained the handkerchief red, and a few drops of blood flowed down his fingertips.
Madison looked at Leo’s face and realized that it was very pale.
Although the street lamps were not very bright, everyone could see Leo’s pale, thin l*ps.
No matter how small the wound was, if it were left to bleed, any person would not be able to withstand it for long.
Madison could not help but frown. She finally opened her mouth to speak. “Go and seek medical treatment quickly. If the wound is left open like this, there might be infection.”
After a pause, Madison added, “I have to pick up Antoine. I’m afraid I can’t accompany you to the doctor. Thank you for helping me tonight. I’ll treat you to a meal another day. Is that okay?”
She spoke in a gentle voice and tidied the hair on her forehead. She did not deliberately. hide her fatigue.
Her appearance made people feel that it would be impolite to disturb her again.
Leo pursed his thin l*ps slightly. His dark eyes reflected many emotions, and he seemed to have a lot to say to Madison.
However, he could only say a few words, “I’ll deal with it. You have to go and bring your brother home. As for tonight’s matter, if it were anyone else, I would also help out.”

Moreover, she was the one who almost got injured.
Madison nodded. “Just remember to get it treated. I’ll get going first.”
Without saying much, she turned around and read the message sent by Blanche. She went into the hospital to look for them.
Joe followed.
Hence, Leo was left by the roadside. His shadow appeared elongated by the street lamps.
He looked at the back views of the two people who had already left. Madison walked. straight ahead. Joe lowered his head from time to time, not knowing what to say to her.
Leo didn’t retract his gaze until the two of them completely disappeared in front of
him.
He looked down at his blood-stained palm.
After a long time, a sneer escaped from his throat, filled with mockery.
When he looked up again, all the emotions in his eyes had already disappeared. He lowered his hand and walked into the hospital.
“Jessica, don’t you think you were a little too cold to your soon-to-be ex-husband just now? Although we’ve always disliked him, he did well tonight.” On the way to look for Antoine, Joe couldn’t help but comment.
Madison’s tone was still calm, but it was much better than before. “You already said that he’s my soon-to-be ex-husband. If I care for him now, I might not get a divorce.”
“That’s true. You shouldn’t be good to that ba stard.” Joe nodded in agreement.
These were two separate matters. Tonight, Leo had done something good, but it didn’t mean that what he had done in the past was Fi
“I see Antoine and Blanche. Let’s go.”
Madison did not want to talk about Leo anymore. She interrupted Joe and quickly walked toward the hospital’s cashier counter.
Because Madison had sent a message in advance, Blanche and Antoine were waiting there. They were afraid that Madison would not be able to find them.
They all smiled when they found one another.
Madison was still worried about Antoine’s wound. She looked at him. “Antoine, are you
Chapter 101
alright?”
“I’m fine. It’s just a small injury. Actually, you don’t have to come to the hospital.”
As they were out in public. Antoine wore a mask, revealing only a pair of smiling eyes.
He was wearing a spare jacket that he had in the car, covering the bloodstains on his shirt. It was hard to tell how he was.
Madison did not look happy. She was still frightened when she thought of the scene at night.
“What do you mean we don’t have to come to the hospital? It is better to have a thorough checkup. Antoine, you could have just pulled me away at that time. Why did you have to block it for me? Fortunately, nothing happened. If something serious happened, I wouldn’t dare to go home.”
Her eyes reddened as she complained.
