Madeline tightly held onto her phone, feeling angry after Patrick went to pour water for Ariana and she hung up the call.

Ariana...

Being called so intimately, and willing to go serve her, it seems that the childhood relationship between the two is not shallow.

From beginning to end, Freya quietly listened to her on the phone, and couldn't help but speak up when she saw her looking like she was about to smash the phone.

"Madeline, calm down, don't fall for this woman's scheme to sow discord!"

Having experienced the tricks of Juliet and Lu Lu, Freya saw through it all.

Women all have a flaw, if they can't get something, they will go to great lengths to obtain it, even creating misunderstandings to sabotage relationships.

Back then, Bradley and Juliet also had a relationship of gratitude, with Juliet using all sorts of ploys to get close to Bradley, just to force herself out.

At first, she was angry just like Madeline, but now looking back, it was ultimately because she didn't trust Bradley enough that she would question him.

Madeline's current appearance is just like she used to be. Freya, as an outsider, can see clearly that this is undoubtedly Ariana's scheme, pretending to lure Patrick to her place, finding an opportunity to get Patrick's phone and call Madeline, the purpose is to sabotage their relationship. This woman is very scheming, but Freya has seen these tricks too many times and doesn't care at all. "I know she's trying to sow discord, but I'm just angry. Why did he go to that bitch's house?" If Patrick weren't willing to take the bait, Ariana wouldn't have had a chance. Madeline blames all the problems on Patrick. If he doesn't come back and explain himself properly, she will continue to ignore him for a month. Freya sighs lightly and says softly, "Madeline, while Patrick is indeed at fault, you also have issues. Don't forget, it takes two to tango." In matters of the heart, both parties are willing participants. The Honeymoon phase of a relationship always transitions slowly into a period of adjustment. The adjustment period is a hurdle. Once you get over it, you will be happy. But if you can't overcome it, in the end, you will only end up parting unhappily.

Madeline and Patrick's relationship has reached this stage, testing whether their feelings are strong enough. If Ariana easily destroys their relationship, it proves that their bond is too weak to withstand any challenges. "Freya, Patrick is not as dedicated as Bradley, you know about his past..." "Madeline." Before she could finish, Freya interrupted her, "If you keep dwelling on the past, you will never be able to fully trust Patrick, creating cracks in your relationship and making it easier for other women to step in." "If you truly want to spend your life with Patrick, then give him your Everyone, including your trust, instead of questioning him." With that said, if Madeline still can't understand, there's nothing more she can do. Before, Patrick was a playboy, but after being with Madeline, he gradually changed. Freya could clearly see his transformation during this time, especially when Madeline was pregnant. He devoted himself to her care, even disregarding the tasks assigned by Bradley.

She believes that Patrick truly loves Madeline, otherwise she would not have stood up to her own mother for her time and time again. Madeline fell deep in thought. She understood what Freya was saying, but due to her numerous past experiences, she was sensitive and prying to insecurity. She knew the kind of person Patrick was, and she recognized her own lack of trust in him, which was why she was provoked by Ariana. "Thank you, I know what to do now," Madeline said. She let out a sigh of relief, feeling much better than she was just now. At that moment, the sound of a car engine could be heard outside. Freya blinked at her, "He's here, go find him." "How did you know it was him?" "A feeling."

Madeline walked to the balcony incredulously, and when she looked down, she indeed saw Patrick getting out of the car in a hurry, causing her heart to skip a beat.

"The engine noise of the car was somewhat urgent, indicating that the person arriving was in a hurry. Considering Patrick's current situation, it seems that it must be him."

Freya saw Madeline turn around and look at her with an incredulous expression in her eyes, and she smiled lightly.

Although she was a doctor, she had also studied psychology and had some insights into human beings.

Based on her own past experiences, she could roughly guess what was happening.

"Have a good talk. Prolonged cold war can affect feelings and give those scheming women a chance. If you want to continue a good life with Patrick, give him a chance to explain."

"I understand, Freya. Thank you for your advice." Madeline took a deep breath, picked up her bag, and went downstairs.

Freya's lips curved into a faint smile.

Madeline was her sister, and she believed that their relationship with Patrick could overcome any obstacles.

At least as long as people are still by each other's side, there is hope.

How about Carlo's love?

Can we still hope for it?

...

Raven Pavilion.

From far away, I could hear the faint sound of a cough.

Ella, holding onto her chest, kept coughing. Eventually, unable to bear it, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed out blood.

"Pavilion Master..."

The nearby subordinates were shocked and quickly brought her a cup of warm water.

Ella took a sip, but couldn't suppress the discomfort in her chest, and blood spurted out with the water.

"I will go call the doctor."

The subordinate was in a hurry to leave.

"No need," Ella stopped her.

Having a medical background, she was well aware of her own physical condition. Deep depression, coupled with missing Xavier, had gradually developed into a serious illness.

This was a mental illness that could not be cured no matter how much medication was taken.

"But Guild Master, this is the third time you have vomited blood in the past half month," the subordinate Juliet looked worried.

Since inheriting the Spirit Pavilion from Ella, Juliet had always stayed by her side and was very clear about Ella's situation.

However, she was ultimately just a subordinate and had no right to intervene in her master's private affairs.

Therefore, she could only watch with concern, feeling anxious.

"It's nothing. Any news from the underground maze?" Ella's voice was slightly hoarse as she wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes hollow.

Juliet respectfully reported, "Wave after wave of people were sent down, but still no sign of Gordon. So we suspect that Gordon may have escaped the underground maze."

"Impossible!"

Ella sat up from the bed and said coldly, "There is no way out of the underground maze, Gordon cannot escape."

She had been studying the structure of the underground maze these days and found no exit.

So she believed that Gordon must still be in the maze, just hiding in a corner unknown to others.

After all, Gordon had lived in the maze for so many years, and he was familiar with its structure. It was not difficult for him to evade their search.

Of course, there is also a possibility that there may still be undiscovered secrets hidden in the underground maze.
