Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 761

The ward was dead silent. One could only hear the buzzing of the air conditioner. Monica stared at Fiona aggressively, giving her goose bumps all over her body.

She didn't like how smothering the atmosphere was, but she couldn't do anything about it. No matter how much she hated Monica, she couldn't lose her temper because she was ill. She had to at least wait until Ethon came back.

"Ahem!" Monica coughed to stifle the atmosphere, but the hostility in her remained constant.

Fiona kept quiet. She wondered if she was being a coward. She did not want to speak for fear of starting a fight with Monica.

'If I don't speak, I won't make any mistakes, ' thought Fiona.

But Monica cast a scornful look at her and spoke in a rather arrogant tone. "Get me some water!"

Fiona looked back at her indifferently, thinking, 'I have never seen such an arrogant woman! Why does she think she can give me orders?'

But no matter how frustrated she was, she managed to hold back her anger. She took a deep breath and walked toward Monica.

She was in the VIP ward. There was a tea set on the nightstand. As calm as still water, Fiona poured a glass of water for Monica. With a forced smile on her face, she held the cup in both her hands and handed it to her.

"There you go, Aunt Monica." Her tone was neither rude nor too affectionate, making it hard for Monica to figure out her emotions.

Monica felt disgusted at the very sight of Fiona's face. She thought that it was time for Ethon to come back.

She glared at her while she sipped from her cup. At last, she spoke up. "What will make you leave Ethon? Do you even love him? If you really do, you should think about his future. You two are from completely different worlds. Do you understand me?"

Fiona was dazed.

Of course, she understood what she was implying! When they were still in high school, Ethon and she were utterly different people. But love was capable of overcoming differences. Two completely contrasting personalities could end up together, then why couldn't they?

Noticing how Fiona lowered her head and remained silent, Monica gained even more confidence to put her down. "You're so young. Why do you have to tie Ethon down? I know him very well. You think he loves you, but it's only a matter of time before he gets bored of you. If you don't want to shame him, it's better you just leave him right away."

Fiona lifted her eyes to look at her briefly, then pursed her lips. She didn't say anything to counter her, but that wasn't because she was timid. It was only out of respect that she didn't answer her since she was Ethon's mother.

She knew Ethon was from a prestigious family. Malcolm and Monica had paved a bright path for him, but he had picked his own path and started working with Fiona. No wonder Monica hated her. She could take all her insults unless she started attacking her parents.
