Chapter 34
However, one can never run away from problems. I’m not her fairy godmother! Does she think my
mother-in-law won’t tease her just because I’m not home?
As I inwardly scoffed, the door opened, admitting my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Upon seeing
Joana in the ward, a flash of contempt passed over the first’s face, while the second rolled her eyes at
her. Joana got up immediately. “Are you here, Mrs. Morals? Pamela?”
Since I was there, my mother-in-law couldn’t go far, so she mumbled in acknowledgment. Without even
looking her in the eye, she promptly walked over to my hospital bed and looked at me in a friendly
way. “Linda, I cooked this porridge for you, so try some.”
“Thanks mom, but I’m not hungry, I just ate.”
“Do you want to eat some fruit then? You peel them for you. My mother-in-law was actually so
enthusiastic that it made me feel like she was deliberately excluding Joan.
It’s a brilliant idea to stall out and deal with Joan at this point, but I don’t want to get involved. Joana is
a despicable person, but she wasn’t far behind either. Ultimately they are a nest of vipers who will still
join hands against me at the critical moment, so why should I agree with her? If she wants to fight,
she’ll have to do it herself. I’m not interested in participating in that little game.
While I was lost in thought, Isabel came over. When she saw the few bitches, she gave a mocking
smile. “Oh, what a crowd! How excited!” Contempt etched across her face, she then smirked at Joana,
whose expression had turned bewildered by her arrival. “You are now a few months old, right?”
“A little over four months,” Joana replied.
“What a poor child not to have a father at birth! How disgraceful indeed!”
Isabel didn’t mince words, so both my mother-in-law and Joana’s expression turned belligerent. Now I
was totally pissed off so I wanted to get rid of these little bitches. “Mother, Joana has been here for
some time. It is not good for her to stay in the hospital when she is pregnant. Carlos left to take care of
some things, and I worry about her coming back alone. Now that you are all here, it would be perfect
for you all to go home with her.”
“Linda, I’m not coming back. I will stay to keep you company.”
“I’ll be fine with Isabel here. You’re pregnant, so you should go home.”
“That’s right. You can’t help your delicate condition, so why would you want to stay here? It will be bad
if you accidentally slip and hurt the baby. As soon as Isabel said that, Joana’s expression changed. It
wasn’t good for her to have a person who would give her an eye for an eye in the ward, and she still
had to face my mother-in-law alone in the end, so she agreed to go home with my mother-in-law and
sister-in-law after thinking it over.
When they were gone, Isabel winked at me. “How do you think Carlos’ mother will deal with Joana?”
“I think she’ll probably wear you out a little. After all, she is pregnant with Carlos’ child.
“But if she just does that, isn’t that bitch getting off too easy?” Isabel walked over indignantly. The
window of the ward I was occupying faced the parking lot, so she stood there and looked out. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
the window out for a while before commenting, “The three bitches are now in the parking lot, and it
doesn’t look like they’re getting along very well.”
