Chapter 10
Cufflink After withdrawing some cash from the bank, Rayna took a taxi and arrived at the hospital twenty minutes later. She entered a ward to see her mother lying in bed with a leg cast. There was also a young woman in her early twenties seated nearby, screaming away while playing a game on her phone. “What happened, Mom?” Rayna asked, walking over and placing some fruits on the table while gazing at the older woman with a frown. “Weren’t you perfectly fine? How did you end up with a broken leg?” “I fell down while doing some cleaning,” Linda stammered, seemingly afraid of her daughter. “It’s no big deal.” “That is not what happened,” Roxanne butted in icily. “She was cleaning windows as her part-time job and fell so hard that she couldn’t get up.” Rayna’s brows furrowed. “Mom, why can’t you just keep watch at the library? Why did you end up cleaning part-time?” Linda lowered her head, not daring to speak.
“She just couldn’t stand being bored, not to mention she’s totally brainless,” Roxanne murmured while putting her phone down. “She fell at someone else’s house but chose to call me instead of getting them to pay for the damages. What an idiot.” “Shut your mouth, Roxanne!” Rayna threw her purse onto the bed in a fit. “This is your mother lying in bed, and you’re calling her an idiot? Would she have had you if she were brainless?” “Am I wrong?” the younger woman retorted, although still not daring to start a fight with her sister. “Anyway, I’ll be going now that you’re here. Oh, my school fees are due, by the way.” Rayna laughed in exasperation. “It’s no wonder you told me to bring more cash. You have fees to pay, huh?”
