Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 387

Outside the hospital room.

Mrs. Cooper watched the scene unfold and finally felt a measure of relief.

“Mr. Chambers arrived just in time,” her assistant whispered. “You can rest easy now.”

Mrs. Cooper shook her head. If Daniel and Nora’s relationship were still harmonious, she would be delighted. But now that things had fallen apart between them, Daniel’s presence here might not mean much to Nora.

She gestured for her assistant to open the door, then walked in.

Mary rushed to her, dropping to her knees and sobbing miserably. “Mother, you have to stand up for me!”

Mrs. Cooper’s expression was stone cold. “Get up. What do you think you’re doing?”

Shirley quickly hurried over to help Mary to her feet.

Then Mrs. Cooper turned to Martin and said, “Martin, take Hans back to his room.”

“All right,” Martin replied, leading Hans away.

Mrs. Cooper glanced at Daniel. “Dan, thank you for stepping in. When you have time, I’d like you to come over for dinner.”

Daniel understood this was her polite way of asking him to leave. He looked back at Nora, reluctant to go, but finally stepped out.

Mrs. Cooper sat down on the couch, her face still cold. “Have you caused enough trouble yet?”

Mary bit her lip, then dropped to her knees again.

Tears streaked her cheeks. “Mother, David didn’t deserve to die like that.”

“You come here in mourning clothes—are you trying to force my hand?” Mrs. Cooper saw right through her daughter-in-law’s intentions.

Mary quickly shook her head. “I wouldn’t dare.”

Mrs. Cooper then asked about Hans’s parents, but no matter how she pressed, Mary insisted she knew nothing, claiming David could never have done such a thing.

Mrs. Cooper’s face grew darker with each denial.

At last, she said, “You’ve been married to David for ten years. I’ll give you a sum of money, but I want you to leave the Cooper family.”

Besides, though David’s fate seemed grim, there was still no proof of his death.

In truth, she was also afraid that Hans would take control of the Cooper family and retaliate against her...

Mrs. Cooper decided not to push her any further and agreed.

Shirley quickly led Mary out of the room.

Only then did Mrs. Cooper turn to Nora. “Mary’s a little hot-tempered—she didn’t frighten you, did she?”

Her voice was gentle, as if worried she might alarm Nora.

Nora shook her head. She actually admired Mrs. Cooper’s commanding presence, the way her words were always final.

But she could see the sorrow etched on the old woman’s face.

“Grandma, you don’t have to hide your pain from me. I know you’re hurting.”

Whatever David had done, in the end, he was still her son.
