Chapter 2200
In the hall, Zayn looked at Kate's back as she ran upstairs with a dark face. He knew that Kate must have taken this opportunity to say something to Maxwell.
Nia put her hand on his and secretly motioned for him to calm down. After all, she was in the Bishop Family.
On the side, Mrs. Bishop said to Zayn, "You heard it now. The doctor said that Maxwell was just an ordinary cold and had some heat and cough. Now I have asked Alfred to buy medicine. According to our previous agreement, Maxwell will stay in the Bishop Family for the time being. From now on, I will take care of him in person."
"You said to take care of him?" Zayn looked at Mrs. Bishop coldly. "Why should I believe that you can take good care of Maxwell? He is sick now, no matter if it's an ordinary cold or a serious one. He has been weak since he was a child and can't take care of him well. Will you be responsible for what happened later?"
"Mr. Zayn." Mrs. Bishop was patient. "I'll say it again. I'm also a mother. If you don't trust Kate, I'll take care of Maxwell in person. If Maxwell's cold is still not cured these two days, or it's getting worse, you can take her back."
"If it gets worse, you will bear the consequences, won't you?" Zayn was always reluctant.
Mrs. Bishop gritted her teeth. "That's right. If Maxwell's condition worsens, I'll be responsible. I'll be responsible for the consequences!"
"How can you bear it? How can you be responsible?" Zayn sneered. "My son is mine. If anything happens to him, only I and the Ali Enterprises will suffer. In the end, your Bishop Family..."
"Mr. Zayn!" Mrs. Bishop stood up. Her eyes were red, not knowing whether she was sad or angry. "I am Maxwell's grandmother. He is my grandson. What do you mean by saying that you are the only ones who are in pain when something happens to him?"
Zayn snorted and turned his face away.
"I just want to tell you that since Maxwell has caught a cold in the Bishop Family, we will take the responsibility to take care of her and let her recover." There were still tears in Mrs. Bishop's eyes. "I know that your Ali Family doesn't care about our Bishop Family now. You brought Maxwell here occasionally just to tell him some of the ways of the world. He still has grandparents. But no matter what your Ali Family thinks, Finn and I like Maxwell from the bottom of our hearts. We love him and love him."
Nia held Zayn's hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Zayn, let's talk to Mu. Jin later and see what he wants, okay?"
It wasn't that she didn't want to take Maxwell back.
To be honest, when she heard that Maxwell was ill, she didn't have time to think of anything else and got out of the car.
If she and Zayn could be together, Maxwell would play a big role. She could be accepted by the Ali Enterprises, and Maxwell had helped a lot. Now she left the sick Maxwell in the Bishop Family, but in fact, she was very worried. No matter what, it was better for her to take care of the people she cared about!
But...
"Just now, I think we should think about what Maxwell meant." Nia said to Zayn.
After hearing that Kate lied to him and seeing that Kate didn't take care of him, Maxwell made him sick. However, in the face of Zayn's accusation, Maxwell was still talking for Kate and Bishop Family. This showed that this time, Maxwell might really stay in Bishop Family by her own will.
Zayn looked at Nia for a while. Seeing her nod, he sighed and took out his mobile phone. "I'll talk to my family about Maxwell..."
"Yes."
Nia nodded with a smile.
It was not a good thing to keep the news of Maxwell's illness from the Ali Enterprises. If Old Madam knew about it, she would probably not only never contact Bishop Family in the future, but she and Zayn would also be scolded when they went back.
Therefore, if they really wanted to keep Maxwell in the Bishop Family, they had to inform Old Madam in advance.
At this time, on the second floor.
Maxwell was lying on the bed that had just been cleaned up by Mrs. Bishop. This was originally a room. The bed was very big and Maxwell's tiny body was lying in the middle. Her hair was black and her face was slightly red. She looked especially adorable.
"Young Master, don't worry. Alfred has already gone to buy some medicine," said Sister as she poured another cup of hot water for Maxwell. She helped Maxwell up and said, "Come on, drink some more water. If you catch a cold, you have to drink more water to get rid of your sweat. You'll only be able to recover faster."
Maxwell coughed gently and sat up with the help of Sister. She held the cup with both hands and drank half of it.
She couldn't drink anymore, so she handed it back to Sister.
"Where's my dad compared to Nia..."
"They're downstairs. As soon as the doctor left, they probably remembered to talk to Madam about whether or not she wants you to stay." Sister was a warm-hearted person. She saw that Maxwell was not like the naughty child of an ordinary family. She was a little sensible, so she told him about the current situation of the Bishop Family.
As Maxwell spoke, she sighed softly. This made Sister even more surprised. She thought to herself that at such a young age, she was actually sighing.
"Young Master, you don't have to worry. No matter whether you stay or return to the Ali Enterprises, the adults have made a deal. You can lie down and rest first," said Sister. For such a young child to start thinking about adult matters, it was likely that this was the helplessness of a rich person.
"Do you think I should go back with my father or stay here?" Maxwell asked.
"Young Master, are you asking me?" Sister was a little surprised. "How can I say that?"
"Just say it."
Maxwell felt that facing his father and the Bishop Family, who had promised to stay for the next few days, he was in a dilemma.
Perhaps he couldn't take a servant's opinion as a reference, but he just wanted to hear the opinions of others.
"That's for Young Master's sake." Sister said, "If you want to stay, stay. If you want to go back, go back. Young Master, you're a child. You have the right to choose, and no one will blame you."
Maxwell was stunned for a moment.
Is that so...
He was a child, so he could choose by himself
"But Young Master Mu, you really don't have to worry. Even if you catch a cold, it's not very important. The doctor said that it's just an ordinary cold. How can a child never get sick?" Sister said, "Last night, she was careless and didn't have the experience of taking care of a child. But Madam said that if Young Master stayed, Madam would take care of you in person."
With this, he patted his chest and introduced himself. "Oh, and me. I used to be a nanny before I came to the Bishop Family. The child of the previous boss likes me. I have three children staying in my hometown. It's easy for me to take care of them!"
Hearing Sister's words, Maxwell blinked her eyes. It turned out that the Bishop Family also had a good servant!
He had thought that the mother of the Ali Enterprises was the best servant!
"Mu, Mu, Mu, Mu!" Kate rushed in from outside.
Seeing Kate, Sister stood up and gave up the position in front of the bed. "First Miss."
But Kate sat directly on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch Maxwell's forehead. "Maxwell, why are you sitting up? You're still hot Lie down. If you don't hurry up, Zayn will really take you away from Bishop Family!"
Looking at Kate's anxious look, Maxwell was moved for a moment. No matter whether her mother took good care of him or not, whether she had the ability to take care of him, or if what she said in the restaurant before was a lie to him.
However, was her concern for him true?
Maxwell was about to say something when Kate turned around and scolded Sister. "I asked you to keep an eye on Maxwell. Don't you know that she has a cold? Don't you know that she's sick? Why did you ask her to sit up? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself? Do you want to see Maxwell's father take her away?"
"First Miss, no, I didn't..."
"You have it! I think all of you want to go against me!" Kate raised her hand and wanted to slap Sister in the face.
"Stop!"
Maxwell suddenly shouted to stop her.
Kate heard her son's voice behind her and was stunned. She raised her hand and stopped in the air.
Sister was so scared that she lowered her head and stood in a corner with her shoulders trembling.
Hearing her son's voice, Kate naturally stopped. She slowly turned around and looked at Maxwell, who was looking at her seriously. She forced a smile and said, "Maxwell, what's wrong? I want to hit her because she doesn't know how to appreciate favors. She only asked her to look at you for a while, and she made a mistake. Also... why are you talking to me so loudly? You can't be like Zayn. I will be sad."
Ever since she was released from prison and met Maxwell, she had always been a gentle and gentle child. Her eyes were gentle, her voice was gentle, and her temperament was gentle.
Maxwell had never spoken to her so loudly.
"Don't hit her," Maxwell said. "She poured me some water just now, so I sat up. Also, I'm not uncomfortable enough to sit down..."
After hearing what he said, Kate understood. Maxwell was really gentle. She was so considerate to even a servant.
"I see." Kate sat down on the bed again, hiding the coldness in her eyes. She turned to Sister and said, "Sister, you can go out now. I want to talk to Maxwell."
"Yes, First Miss." Of course, Sister had to quit.
After Sister came out, she sighed. In her opinion, this First Miss was unpredictable.
He had asked her to teach her how to make a sweater before, but now he didn't ask about it and almost gave her a slap in the face.
If she really wanted to win her son's heart, she should be more easygoing. No matter how she thought about it, she would only ruin her image in Young Master's eyes.
"Sigh, this rich guy isn't good at coaxing children." Sister sighed helplessly, but then she thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem like that. Old Master and Madam are fine. Just now, Nia looked pretty good..."
In the room, Kate hurriedly pulled the quilt for Maxwell. "The quilt, lie down quickly. You can't continue to catch a cold. You must get better quickly..."
Maxwell didn't say anything. She lay down and covered herself with the blanket.
Unexpectedly, Kate sat next to him, touched her eyes, and began to sob.
Maxwell turned to look at her. "What's wrong with you?"
