"Mother," Aurora said patiently, "why are you here?"
"Well, your father's ill. Am I not allowed to come for a visit?"
Maisy rolled her eyes at Aurora. This damn girl was so affected when greeting her while holding Ariana's arm!
"Stop greeting," Maisy sat down on the chair and crossed her legs. "I'm here today for something important."
"You..." Ariana thought Maisy just came for Bailey, so she said politely, "It might still take days for Beiley to wake up. Now every visit just allows one relative to come in, so how about visiting him when he woke up?"
"Bailey? It doesn't matter when he will wake up."
Maisy argued in low voice this time, and then she proposed, "since it's still unknown when he will wake up, let's discuss how to deal with his legacy first."
Aurora and Ariana looked at each other with unpleasant faces. Quiet unexpectedly Maisy came for the legacy.
"Mother... we can discuss it when father wakes up. I'll stay here and look after him."
Aurora did her best to persuade Maisy to leave to avoid conflicts in the hospital.
"Did you hear what I just said?!" Maisy looked at her incredulously. "Am I wrong? Your father is going to die and we have to settle it as soon as possible, do we? Don't forget who you are, Aurora. Are you planning to give all his legacy to her?!"
Looking at the finger pointed at her, Ariana was in a sudden daze.
What did Maisy say? He was going to die? The legacy?
"Mother!" Aurora shouted out immediately, focusing on Ariana's emotional changes. "I've told you, father will make his own decision. We are all waiting for him to wake up. He will get out of the danger!"
"What a girl!"
Maisy turned her finger at Aurora angrily, "I'm Sion's mother but now you are helping her! No wonder you pushed me last time. You never changed your mind! You are not qualified to be my daughter-in-law!"
"Are you coming for this only?"
Ariana stared at her. She couldn't believe it.
"Sure," seeing Ariana was seemingly a pushover, Maisy took out a document from her bag and gave it to her at once. "This is the will I prepared in which his wealth is fairly distributed to us. What you do next is to affix your seal and impress your thumb on it."
"Take it to Bailey's room and imprint his finger impression on it as well if you are fine with that, okay?"
Her words were followed by the dead silence in the corridor where the sound of breath was clearly heard.
All at once, Ariana furiously slapped Maisy before Aurora had a chance to react.
"It is still unknown whether Bailey could wake up or not... how... how can you say that at a such time?!"
Bailey's ex-wife cared nothing except for his money!!
"How dare you slap me?!"
