After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491 Being Complained About

After a few days, I had totally forgotten about Alicia. Michael didn’t remind me of her too. On that particular day, I left for the hospital after finishing my breakfast. Even though I had a falling out with my parents, I couldn’t abandon them, as they were still my parents at the end of the day. Therefore, I decided to drop by and see if they needed anything.

When I arrived in the ward, I saw my mom wiping my dad’s face with a towel. Despite not having any major achievements in life, I couldn’t deny that both of them enjoyed a loving relationship. That was one of the few things that my family could actually be proud of.

After a momentary silence, I greeted, “Dad, I’m here to visit you.”

When they turned around after hearing my voice, their faces looked indifferent. It was as if they weren’t happy to see me at all.

Despite their lack of enthusiasm, I had gotten used to it and didn’t take it personally. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

When they didn’t respond to my greeting, I walked into the ward and put the fruits beside the bed. I then remarked, “I bought some fruits. It will help with your recovery.”

“What are you doing here? Didn’t you say that you don’t care about us anymore two days ago?”

Finally, my mom said something. Her tone was extremely unpleasant as if she was still angry over what happened.

“Mom, since when did I say that? I was talking about Steven. I didn’t say that I stopped caring about you both,” I patiently explained with a sigh. After all, I was well aware of how much they hated me still.

“You don’t even care about your brother anymore, so why do you still care about us? Compared to us, your brother needs your help a lot more.”

Instead of quelling her anger, my words triggered a sarcastic response from her.

I knew that they still blamed me for what happened to Steven.

Since they insisted on bringing up the matter up again, I chose to remain silent instead.

Sitting by the bed, I took out an apple and began peeling it for my dad.

My silence infuriated my mother further. She walked up to me and snatched the apple away from my hand and scowled, “Look at you. As long as I talk about Steven, you will just keep silent. Isn’t it obvious that you don’t want to help your brother? If you continue to maintain that attitude, you can stop coming here. I’m telling you upfront that we don’t need a daughter like you!”

In truth, although I had expected to be treated badly during the visit, I still chose to go. Unfortunately, their attitude toward me was worse than I thought.

I took a deep breath in response. Although I had not wanted to talk about the matter, I couldn’t suppress my rage anymore. Springing to my feet, I retorted with a frosty tone, “Mom, can you stop bringing that matter up? I already told you that I tried my best. Why must you keep forcing me?”

I had come to visit with good intentions but didn’t expect them to treat me so badly.

“You didn’t even bother to help Steven at all. How dare you claim to have tried your best?”

“Mom, I’m here today to see Dad and not here to quarrel with you. If you don’t welcome me, I’ll leave right away!”

I had never flared my temper at my mom before. After she recovered from her shock, her expression darkened further.
