After the two men left, Freya quickly helped Madeline to sit on the sofa, carefully inspecting her body to make sure the baby was unharmed, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

"What's going on, Patrick has going crazy?" Madeline cried, her voice choked with tears. "He's definitely insane. Freya, you need to have him checked to see if he's mentally ill."

A kiss forced upon her without warning.

This damn man, when did he learn this move of an overbearing CEO?

Luckily, her hand was placed on her belly, otherwise the six-foot tall man would have pressed her and might have caused harm to the baby.

"Can we talk seriously, what happened in the end?" Freya rubbed her temples, already feeling overwhelmed by the sniper situation and now by the conflict between Madeline and Patrick, she felt a headache coming on.

"He barged in directly, saying he wanted to take me home. I just said a few words to him, who knew he would go crazy and get violent..."

Madeline rubbed her lips forcefully, looking in the direction of the second-floor study, with a hint of resentment in her eyes. She had always been the apple of her parents' eyes since childhood. Even when she fell on hard times and resorted to singing in nightclubs, no ying had dared treat her like this, only to now fall into the hands of a debauched rich young man. She didn't know if her brain had malfuntioned or if she had lost her mind, as she ended up pregnant before marriage. Now, her future mother-in-law disliked her, disapproved of her entry into the family, and even wanted to harm her twin sons. What sins had she committed to end up with such a mother-in-law? Return home? Where was her home? She and Patrick were not in a legitimate relationship. Calling him a friend with benefits might not be an understatement. He was a man and wouldn't lose out, so what was his motivation? "Ya-ya..." Freya reached out and patted Madeline's shoulder, speaking gently, "I'll say something you won't like to hear, but in this situation, Patrick is truly in a difficult position. On ying hand is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and on the other hand is the woman he loves. Which side do you think he should stand on?"

At first, Freya was firmly in support of Madeline, after all, she was her sister. But after meeting Madam Patrick in the hospital, Freya suddenly could understand Patrick. After all, dealing with such a mother who was always on the verge of life and death, it was likely that no ying could handle it. Freya suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that she wouldn't have to face such an awkward mother-in-law relationship in the future. Otherwise, with her temperament, it would be more than just packing up and leaving home, it was likely that Bradley would never find her for the rest of his life. "Are you speaking up for him?" Madeline's mood was very bad now, her eyes red with disappointment as she looked at Freya. Freya sighed softly, "I am not speaking up for anyone, I am just looking at this matter from a neutral perspective. I have met Patrick's mother, she is indeed a formidable woman. If you were to contend with her at your current level, it would surely be a lose-lose situation, and in the end, Patrick would be the ying most hurt." "Madeline, I can't interfere in your family relationships, but you must know that Royal View Courtyard is your ancestral home. No matter how much you suffer in the future or reach the point of no return with Patrick, the doors of Royal View Courtyard are always open to you." Upon hearing this, the tears in Madeline's eyes became even heavier, and she threw herself into Freya's arms, crying loudly.

Freya didn't know how to comfort her, so she gently patted her back to soothe her emotions.

The crying wouldn't stop, as if trying to cry away all the tears accumulated over the years, soon soaking a large area of Freya's chest.

"Freya, I don't know what to do. That woman is too malicious. If I continue to interact with her, she will definitely plot against me and the child."

"In less than a month, the child will be born. Who knows what will happen then. If that woman doesn't leave my life, I will never go back to Patrick."

"A man who can't even protect his own wife and child is not worthy of being a father and a husband!"

Freya understood her worries, Mrs. Patrick's methods were indeed ruthless.

Failing to harm Madeline, she actually used emotional manipulation to win Patrick's sympathy.

If this woman doesn't leave, she is indeed a cancer.

Hopefully, Bradley and Patrick's conversation will yield some results, urging Patrick to take practical actions to protect his wife and child.

Upstairs, in the study.

Bradley and Patrick sat face to face. Patrick has been feeling extremely frustrated recently. Without waiting for Bradley to ask about the situation, he first explained the whole situation clearly. "Chen, you have to help me make a decision, how should we handle this?" As Freya said, on ying hand, it's his biological mother, on the other hand, it's the woman he loves. No matter who he defends, it will only end up hurting ying of them.

Bradley leaned back on the sofa, his gaze deep as he stared at Patrick, and after a long silence, he finally spoke, "Why did you let your mother come here?" Mrs. Patrick is a woman Bradley had contact with seven or eight years ago, a typical toxic and sharp woman. She married Patrick back then because her family was backing him financially in his business endeavors. It was because of this that Patrick married Patrick's mother, Lina. However, Lina was a spoiled and wealthy girl who controlled Patrick after marriage, leading to frequent fights.

Bradley remembers very clearly that every time he went to the Patrick family to find Patrick, the Patrick family was basically not peaceful. Later, Patrick kept a mistress outside, and Lina even drove that woman to suicide, using extremely ruthless methods. Patrick couldn't stand Lina, so the two of them started a cold war that lasted for several decades. Although they still maintained their relationship, their feelings had long since broken down behind the scenes, becoming like strangers. Patrick is a filial son, who has been dependent on his mother for these years. In addition, Lina is not in good health, so Everyone has been dying according to this mother. However, Bradley never expected that Patrick would actually bring Lina back to his residence. "She said she wanted to come to take care of her grandson and help Madeline during her postpartum recovery. I can't stop her from coming, can I?" Patrick also regretted it, he shouldn't have let his mother come over due to a momentary lapse of judgement, creating this difficult situation that is hard to resolve. It is easy to invite a god, but hard to send ying away! "I can't help you with this matter. However, Patrick, Madeline is Freya's sister. It's inevitable that she will have negative emotions living here now. I don't want your woman to make my woman unhappy and affect her mood throughout the entire pregnancy."

Bradley's tying was very cold, it was obvious that he was protecting his woman. As for the trivial matters at Patrick's house, he would handle them himself.

"If she doesn't come back with me, I have no choice!" Patrick ran his hand through his hair in frustration, feeling like he was on the verge of a breakdown.

Bradley raised an eyebrow at him and said, "You have three days to clean up your mess."
