Chapter 713:
Yelena entered the room, and Maggie, expecting her son, asked, “You’re back so soon, aren’t you p>
“It’s me, Maggie p>
Realizing her mistake, Maggie expressed her surprise. “Yelena! What brings you here? I thought that was my son p>
“I was actually here earlier,” Yelena explained, “but I had to leave because my mother had an accident. She fainted on the street, so I rushed to be with her p>
Maggie’s concern was immediate. “Oh dear, that sounds serious, and yet you’re here to see me? Please, go take care of your mother. Don’t worry about me; it’s just a twisted ankle p>
“No, it’s okay now. My mom’s had some tests and everything’s fine. Let me take a look at your ankle p>
With that, Yelena gently lifted the blanket, revealing Maggie’s bandaged foot.
Then, a voice suddenly sounded. “What are you doing p>
Monica glared at Yelena, her voice tinged with anger.
Just moments earlier, Austin had finally come to visit Monica in her hospital room, bearing heartfelt gratitude for her heroic actions.
A terrifying incident had unfolded earlier that day—the van driver had suffered a sudden heart attack, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. The uncontrolled vehicle swerved dangerously toward both Monica and Maggie.
In a split second, Monica had pushed Maggie out of harm’s way, narrowly averting tragedy.
However, in the process, Monica herself couldn’t evade the van’s path, resulting in a broken leg from the collision.
As Austin finished expressing his thanks, his phone rang unexpectedly. Concerned about an issue at his company, he excused himself to take the call, leaving Monica alone with her injury.

Sensing an opportunity, Monica strategically leveraged her predicament, hoping to cultivate a closer relationship with Austin. She didn’t want to miss the chance to deepen their connection.
She waited and waited, but Austin didn’t return. Growing anxious, Monica asked a nurse to escort her to Maggie’s room, planning to create a scene that would draw Austin’s attention.
However, as she entered the ward, Monica was taken aback to see Yelena waiting there.
Monica’s fury ignited the instant her eyes locked onto Yelena. As Yelena reached to peel the bandage from Maggie’s foot, Monica couldn’t contain herself. “Stop p>
Her outburst didn’t faze Yelena, but Maggie was visibly shaken, clutching her chest as if her heart might leap out. “Monica, what are you doing here p>
Moments ago, Monica’s expression had been icy, but upon seeing Maggie, it softened into a warm smile so sudden and complete that onlookers nearly thought she had transformed into someone else entirely.
“I couldn’t stop worrying about you, so I decided to come and visit,” Monica said softly.
Maggie let out a weary sigh, wincing as she adjusted her position. “I’m fine. I just twisted my ankle.” She hesitated, her eyes meeting Monica’s in the wheelchair. “Your situation is much more serious than mine. I wanted to see you, but the doctor wouldn’t allow it p>
“It’s not as bad as it looks. I’ll be fine; don’t worry p>
Monica turned her attention back to Yelena, her demeanor shifting seamlessly. “I’m sorry, Yelena. I didn’t mean to blame you. When I saw you about to remove the bandage, I was genuinely worried you might act recklessly and hurt her. That’s why I was so agitated. If I offended you, I apologize p>
