Jared subconsciously avoided her move.
At this time, Shonna pushed the ward door open and walked in with a thermos food container. When she saw this scene, she froze before smiling immediately, "Oh, it seems like I have come at the wrong time. I am disturbing you guys. Shall I wait outside?"
She took a few steps back to go out.
Shonna's words had made Makenna flush with embarrassment. Makenna hurriedly let go of Jared. "You are not disturbing us, Mrs. Farrell. Come on in."
"I am glad that I am not disturbing you guys." Shonna came in with a thermos food container. "I spoke to your mother on the phone this morning and learned that you accidentally fell from the stairs last night. I'm afraid the food in the hospital doesn't agree with you, so I made some soup and came over to see you."
She glanced at Jared and said, "No wonder Jared didn't tell me about not coming home last night. Turns out he has gone to the hospital to take care of you."
At the thought of the text messages Chloe had sent last night, Makenna was quite upset. However, Makenna hid her emotion very well and said gently, "Mrs. Farrell, please do not blame Jared. I was too scared and asked him to stay in the hospital to take care of me."
"It is okay. He should take care of you!" Shonna asked with concern, "Which part of your leg is injured? Does it still hurt?"
"My leg still hurts a little, but the doctor said it is fine."
"You should be careful in the future. Have some soup. Not only is it nutritious, but it also has nourishing and beautifying effects." Shonna served the soup to her.
Makenna took it with a smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Farrell."
"If you really want to thank me, you should work harder and give me a grandchild sooner." Shonna squinted her eyes at Makenna.
"Mrs. Farrell…" Makenna lowered her head with a blush. She was too embarrassed to look into Shonna's eyes.
Not only was Makenna good-looking, but she was also soft-spoken. Most importantly, she had a strong family background. There would be many benefits to the marriage between the Farrell and Gardner families.
When it came to such a well-mannered and wealthy daughter-in-law, Shonna could not wait for her to join the Farrell family.
"I already liked you as soon as I saw you. You are just likeable!" Shonna said. She also mentioned Amber, but with a disgusted expression. "Unlike Amber. Although she has been a part of the Farrell family for six years, she is not likeable."
"I even saw her scandalous news this morning. Alas, since her father has such a terrible character, her character will not be good. How dare she take a video to slander me!"
"If it were not for the Farrell family supporting her in these years, she might have lived a life worse than a beggar's!"
"Cole's personality is rather out of the line, but he is excellent at doing business. I don't understand his appeal to Amber. If I were Cole's mother, I would never want a daughter-in-law like Amber!"
"..."
Jared was standing on the side of the hospital bed. While listening to his mother criticizing Amber, he frowned slightly and felt uncomfortable.
Although the Reed family had collapsed, Amber had never asked him for anything after marrying him. She had been a virtuous wife in the Farrell family's residence for the past six years. He heard from the servants that Amber had always been submissive to Shonna and had never talked back to her.
Shonna was the one who went to stir up trouble at Goldstone Co. and got videoed by an employee. Regarding this matter, Jared suppressed it in the end. However, Shonna still held a grudge against Amber.
‘In the six years of marriage, what kind of life did Amber live in the Farrell family's residence under my mom's torture?'
At this point, Jared felt a stifling pain in his chest.
