Chapter 58: Chapter 58
The mention of the third floor startled Mrs. Smith, and she immediately called for Nancy, saying, "Nancy, come with me to the third floor." Chiyoko's mental state had deteriorated significantly, and Mrs. Smith didn't dare to go alone.
To ensure Mrs. Smith's safety, Nancy called two security guards to stand by the staircase while accompanying Mrs. Smith toward Chiyoko's bedroom. Inside the bedroom, the two young maids who attended to Chiyoko greeted Mrs. Smith respectfully and retreated to the doorway.
Chiyoko lay on the large bed in the middle of the room, still in a restless sleep, a white bandage wrapped around her forehead. Her pale face remained as enchanting and beautiful as ever. Such a beautiful woman, destined to be a troublemaker! Mrs. Smith stared at her with a bitter smile.
"Madam, should we wake her up?" Nancy asked in a soft voice.
"Well, let her sleep. I'll come up again when she wakes up," Mrs. Smith replied.
After all, Chiyoko was still injured, and Mrs. Smith couldn't bear to disturb her. Just as she was about to turn and leave, Chiyoko, who was sensitive to movement, woke up at the right moment and let out a painful groan.
Hearing the noise, Mrs. Smith turned back and looked at her, calling out softly, "Chiyoko, are you awake?"
Even though her eyes remained closed, Chiyoko painfully twisted her body.
Upon hearing Mrs. Smith's voice, Chiyoko suddenly opened her eyes and stared in astonishment at Mrs. Smith, who unexpectedly appeared in front of her. Tears of grievance streamed down her face, and with a choked voice, she called out, "Aunt..."
The sound of her calling Mrs. Smith "aunt" caused a surge of emotions in Mrs. Smith's heart. She leaned over and held Chiyoko's small hand, asking with concern, "Does it hurt a lot? Be good, it will get better in a few days."
Chiyoko paid no attention to the pain from her wounds. Sniffling, she spoke urgently, "Aunt, please help me. You know about my feelings for Maxwell, don't you?"
In the past, Chiyoko always liked to act spoiled towards the kind-hearted Mrs. Smith, making her happy. Therefore, Mrs. Smith had always been fond of Chiyoko. Seeing Mrs. Smith today naturally stirred up excitement in Chiyoko's heart. Perhaps only she could save herself from this miserable situation!
"Oh, you should know Maxwell's temper the best. How could you do such a foolish thing?" Mrs. Smith was also helpless about this. She had opposed when Maxwell brought Chiyoko to the third floor in the first place and had advised against it numerous times. But Maxwell, like a mad lion, carried out this series of actions to the end!
"Aunt, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..." Chiyoko sobbed softly, "Maxwell loves me so much, why would he punish me in such a cruel way? He doesn't even give me a chance to redeem myself!"
"If he gives you a chance to redeem yourself, will you make good use of it?" Mrs. Smith asked her seriously, staring at her.
Chiyoko was startled, but then nodded desperately, eager to say, "Aunt, as long as Maxwell lets me go, I will definitely behave myself and never do anything to anger him again." Never again! She would cherish and love him properly!
"Alright, I will give you a chance to win back Maxwell's heart." Mrs. Smith suddenly said, causing both Chiyoko and Nancy to be taken aback.
Nancy exclaimed in shock, "Madam, you can't do this, the Big Young Master will blame you!"
How could Miss Chiyoko be set free and how could she return to Maxwell's side again? She had finally managed to get rid of Flora, and now Chiyoko appeared. Although she was just a servant and didn't dare to hope for the attention of the male masters of the Smith Family, the jealousy in her heart couldn't disappear just because of these ethical considerations.
Most importantly, she used to secretly abuse Chiyoko, and who knew how many crazy things she remembered. If Chiyoko were to regain her previous status, she would surely take revenge on her harshly!
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if I'm blamed, it's for Maxwell's own good." Mrs. Smith said helplessly. Although Maxwell claimed not to have feelings for Flora, she had to find a woman to fill his heart, just in case. Chiyoko was so beautiful and she was his fiancée, the most suitable choice.
Chiyoko became so excited that she sobbed loudly, tightly grasping Mrs. Smith's hand, "Thank you, Aunt, I will definitely listen to you, listen to Maxwell, I...".
She was so overwhelmed with excitement that she couldn't find words, biting her red lip tightly. She had finally waited for this moment, finally free! Finally... she could see her beloved Maxwell every day again!
Mrs. Smith withdrew her hand from Chiyoko's grip and reassured her, "First, focus on recovering from your illness, and don't do anything crazy again, understand?"
Chiyoko nodded desperately, as long as she could leave, she would fulfill any request Mrs. Smith made. It wasn't her intention to act crazy. Once it got dark and she felt lonely, she couldn't control her thoughts and actions anymore.
Seeing her nod, Mrs. Smith continued, "Well, I will arrange for a psychologist to treat you properly. You must cooperate and take care of your health so that you can stay with Maxwell. Got it?"
Chiyoko nodded once again, fearing that if Mrs. Smith became unhappy, she would take back everything she said. After giving a few instructions, Mrs. Smith turned and left, leaving behind a thrilled Chiyoko.
