"Don't you know how to respect your elders? How could you eat by yourselves?" Shona sat up on the sofa and reached out to point at Laura and Chris.Laura didn't move. She kept her head lowered and looked at the dishes on the table. Chris, on the other hand, raised his head and gave Shona an indifferent look.Every time when Shona looked at Chris in the eyes, fear would rise in her heart.She subconsciously took back the hand she was using to point at Chris and Laura. She then turned to look away.She swallowed and then pulled a chair to sit by the table."Why are there only two sets of cutlery? Where are mine?"No one answered her question.Shona was at a loss for words.If it had been in the past, if Laura treated her like this, Shona would have exploded in anger. However, with Chris around, Shona didn't dare do anything over the top. She looked around and was about to reach for the set of cutlery prepared for Linda.Laura pursed her lips, put down the cutlery in her hands, a
Laura was shocked as well. She wasn't shocked because Linda wanted Shona to get out. She was more worried about Linda's health.The doctor had said that Linda shouldn't have excessive mood swings. Otherwise, she might have cerebral hemorrhage again.However, Shona seemed to not know what she should do and was frozen on the spot.Chris walked over and stood between Linda and Shona, blocking Linda's line of sight. "Mrs. Walker, I'm going to have to ask you to leave."Chris's gaze was very domineering and forced Shona to leave the room.When Shona had left the room, Laura comforted Linda. This allowed Linda to slowly calm down.However, Linda's reaction this time proved that Laura's guess was right. Linda's cerebral hemorrhage was caused by the members of the Walker family."Laura..." Linda reached out her hand to hold Laura's."I'm here, Grandma," Laura quickly said."It's gone. It's all gone. The money and the things are all gone..." Linda was lying on the bed and looking at th
The second critical blow for Linda was that it was the day that she was paid her pension as well. She was prepared to withdraw her pension, but when she went to the bank, she was told that her pension had been withdrew by someone else.When Linda went home to ask Nicholas and Shona about her pension, the two of them had no intention of giving the money back to her, especially Shona. She even requested Linda to give them her pension every month.Linda refused, but Shona said that it didn't matter. Every month when Linda's pension was paid, Shona would go in advance to withdraw the money, because she knew someone at the bank.The two critical mental blows made Linda infuriated and caused a cerebral hemorrhage. She then passed out.When Laura heard the story, her chest heaved up and down. She gritted her teeth in anger."How could they take what I've given you?"Laura's heart ached for Linda, but she was also touched. She knew Linda was doing all of this because of her.She knew ho
However, Laura didn't receive a reply.Chris called at around four o'clock in the afternoon. On the other end of the line, Chris said that the money that Linda had lost had been retrieved with the help of the police.He also said that taking one's pension without one's consent is against the law. Chris also asked if Laura wanted to hold Nicholas and Shona responsible.Laura thought about it and felt that she would need Linda's opinion on this matter. After all, Nicholas and Shona were her son and daughter-in-law. Laura felt that Linda wouldn't be so harsh.As expected, when Laura told Linda about this, Linda fell silent. After a while, she said, "Forget it, Laura."Linda was mad and didn't like what Nicholas and Shona had done, but she didn't want to send her son and daughter-in-law to court.This was something Laura had expected. She wasn't surprised at all. She nodded at Linda and gave Chris a reply."I understand." Chris had expected such an answer as well. "I'll get the poli
Shona was someone who cared a lot about her own interests, especially when it came to money.Even if she had fallen out with Laura the previous moment, the next moment, if she felt there was something for her to gain, she could still smile and pretend nothing had happened.After living with Shona for over 20 years, Laura was used to Shona's instant change of attitude.At the same time, she knew Shona all too well. She immediately knew what Shona was thinking."You can meet them if you want, but you have to tell Luke to give back the things he took," said Laura.This sentence alone was able to shut Shona up."Well, you can't really take back the things you've given away, can you?"Even if they wanted the supplements back, would the Holland family give the supplements back to them?Shona was worried that if Jessica was angered again, something might happen to her grandson.She didn't dare to let anything happen to her grandson."Laura, we're all family here. Anything that belon
"How come you're here?"Linda had already fallen asleep at this hour.Looking at the bed cover in Chris's hand, Laura cocked her brows.'He even brought the bed covers from home,' she thought.Chris didn't know what was wrong with him either. He just wanted to see Laura and be with her."However, there are no extra beds here." Laura looked around the ward. There was only one rollaway bed in the ward and a sofa.The sofa was very small, even smaller than the rollaway bed. It didn't seem comfortable to sleep in either."It's alright. You can sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the sofa." Chris walked towards the sofa and placed the bed cover in his hand on the sofa.The bed covers that Chris had brought were the ones he normally used at home.He looked at the bed cover on the rollaway bed provided by the hospital. He then removed the bed cover and gave one of the bed covers he had brought to Laura. "Use this one."Chris felt uncomfortable using the bed cover provided by the hosp
"Okay." Chris didn't have any problems with that.He and Laura had been married for some time. It was reasonable for their family members to meet.He was planning on telling Madam Jacobs about the fact that Linda was in hospital. He wanted Madam Jacobs to come to the hospital to visit Linda.When Laura heard Chris's plans, she quickly waved her hand and said, "There's no need. I've read Grandma's Twitter. I think she's going on holiday with Harry, right? Let's not disturb her. They're going to meet in a few days anyway, right? They can meet then."Laura didn't want to trouble others. She didn't want to disturb Madam Jacobs' travel plans because of her matters.She could take care of Linda by herself.Laura told Chris a couple more times not to disturb Madam Jacobs. When Chris heard Laura say those words, he nodded in agreement.The two of them talked about some other things. Laura was using Chris's bed cover, which was filled with a scent that was unique to Chris. It somehow mad
On the morning of the next day.Shona slept until almost 10 o'clock in the morning before getting out of bed. She rubbed her waist as she got out of the rollaway bed. "This stupid bed isn't comfortable at all. My waist hurts."Linda rolled her eyes and had no intention of talking to Shona.Shona looked around and saw the plate and cutlery on the bedside table. She then asked, "Mom, have you had breakfast?""Yes."The hospital's food didn't taste so good. If Laura was at the hospital, she would prepare something else for Linda. However, Shona couldn't get up in the morning, so Linda didn't wake her up. The food was brought to the ward by a hospital staff.Shona rubbed her belly and went to the toilet to wash up. After doing so, she walked out of the ward holding her bag. "Mom, I'm hungry. I'll be heading out to get something to eat. Do you want any apples? I want some apples, I'll bring some back for you."Linda was rendered speechless.As soon as Shona walked out of the ward an
