Mrs. Williams had said it, so no matter how reluctant Rhys felt, he could only leave first.
Soon, there were only Mrs. Williams and Jenna left in the hospital room.
"Mrs. Williams, is there anything you need me to do?"
Jenna's expression was very calm as if she had forgotten their confrontation earlier this afternoon.
She sat quietly by Mrs. Williams' bedside, and when they didn't speak, they looked like the harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Pour me some water."
Mrs. Williams wasn't polite at all when she ordered Jenna to pour her some water. But as soon as the cup reached Mrs. William's hand, she pushed it away.
"Do you want to scald me with such hot water?" Mrs. Williams frowned and spoke harshly.
The reason why she called Jenna over today was deliberately to torment her because of what happened this afternoon when Jenna angered her badly enough that led to her being admitted into the hospital for treatment.
Since this incident was caused by Jenna herself, then she must bear the consequences of it.
Jenna quickly held onto the cup again before pouring another one for Mrs. Williams but even before touching it again, Mrs. Williams started nitpicking again.
"There isn't even any heat in this water! Do you want to freeze me?"
She kept tormenting Jenna until even pouring a glass of water took more than ten attempts before finally satisfying herself with drinking from it contentedly.
However, Jenna didn't seem bothered at all by how much trouble Mrs. Williams put her through.
After tormenting Jenna for a while, Mrs. Williams found that things were getting boring.
She thought that maybe if she could provoke an argument between them, she would call Rhys and complain about everything which would ultimately lead him asking Jenna to leave their family.
Unfortunately, Jenna was not fighting back or showing any signs of resistance whatsoever which made things dull for her now.
She wanted to use this opportunity to create conflict between them but Jenna didn't fight back or argue with her no matter what she asked Jenna to do.
"You have improved, but unfortunately, I won't let you stay in the Williams family any longer. You've seen how much respect Rhys has for me. As long as I'm not willing, you won't stay."
Mrs. Williams wanted to use this opportunity to persuade Jenna to leave the Williams family as soon as possible.
But Jenna remained indifferent upon hearing this.
After Mrs. Williams had exhausted herself speaking, Jenna calmly poured a glass of water.
"Mrs. Williams, have some water."
Her expression was so calm, as if Mrs. Williams' words just now hadn't affected her at all.
Mrs. Williams couldn't hold back anymore, "Jenna, what do you mean? I want you to leave the Williams family, and you're not leaving. You know very well that once your belly bulges, it won't be a secret anymore!"
By the time that happens, even if Jenna doesn't want to leave, she'll have to leave. It might even damage the reputation of the Williams family.
Upon hearing Mrs. Williams' words, Jenna deeply sighed.
"Just like what you said, Mrs. Williams, once my belly bulges, my pregnancy won't be a secret anymore. So why are you still bothering me? I want to leave the Williams family more than you do."
