"Stop playing dumb. Let me be clear to you. Whatever your struggle was, you will always be the trash that was abandoned by the Gu family." Yvonne screamed at Aron.
Wendy who was now beside Yvonne looked at Aron, stunned. She hadn't seen him for years, but she still recognized him.
"Aron, it has been a long time! Why didn't come home when you returned from abroad? What happened years ago was a mistake. Are you still mad at me for that?" Wendy pretended to be innocent. "After you left home, I criticized your father for being so cruel to you, after all, you were just a kid. I also felt guilty for this was because of me. I felt much better when I heard that your grandparents had taken you abroad, " she sighed.
"Your dad will be very happy when he finds out that you're back. You have grown up into a handsome young man, " she continued.
"Aron, how about you come home with us today? I will cook for you and you can see your father. Do you have time?" Wendy asked, taking Aron by the hand.
"No, thanks. I am busy today, " Aron responded as he shook off her hand, and gave Wendy a cold look.
Aron had no intention of wasting time with them. As he turned around to leave, Yvonne gabbed his arm. "Oh don't you just leave yet. Tell me, why did you set me up?" she shouted at Aron.
"Have you gone mad?" Aron was getting impatient. He had no brotherly affection towards Yvonne. He actually detested her.
'There are so many people in the hospital. Now Simon doesn't know that Yvonne had a miscarriage. If he finds out, he will be furious. Moreover, Aron is back and he will let Aron lead the family. If this happens, all my efforts will be in vain, ' Wendy pondered.
Wendy knew that Simon felt guilty about what happened to Aron and he always wanted to bring Aron back home. Wendy couldn't allow this to happen.
"Are you out of your mind?" Wendy turned to Yvonne, pulling her sleeves. "Aron is your brother, and we are a family. How could he frame you?"
"Mom..." Yvonne said, her face pale with anger. 'Now, Wendy starts to speak in his favor. What should I do?' Yvonne thought.
"Well, that's enough, " Wendy stopped Yvonne. "Aron, inform me in advance if you plan to visit us. I will cook your favorite food." Wendy said to Aron.
Aron went straight to his grandmother's ward without uttering a word. When he got there, he saw Mike pacing anxiously by the door. "Grandpa, why are you here outside?" he asked, walking up to Mike.
"Here you are, " Mike said, taking Aron's hand. "What took you so long?" Mike asked.
