Donald rushed while holding several gift boxes in his hand.
Who is sick? Angela mused when she spotted him.
Upon hearing someone call out his name, he stopped and looked around, before spotting Angela in a white coat.
Angela hurried over and glanced at the gift boxes in his hands. They were all premium. nutritional supplements and fruits, meticulously chosen for their quality.
“Who’s sick?” she asked.
Donald hadn’t expected to run into Angela at the hospital and smiled wryly. “It’s Queenie’s mother–in–law. She’s hospitalized here, so I came to check on her during lunch break.”
Queenie’s mother–in–law?
Angela’s eyes flashed, then she sweetly smiled. “Let me go with you.”
Donald didn’t mind. As they walked, he curiously asked, “What are you doing here? And why are you wearing a doctor’s white coat?”
“I accompanied my mentor to go to the charity clinic to lend a hand.” Angela grabbed some of the fruits and then recollected, “Uncle Donald, you mentioned last time that you weren’t feeling well. Did you get a check–up?”
“ith expenses piling up, Donald was hesitant to spend money on that. He shook his head.
“As one gets older, there are always some minor ailments. Resting helps. I don’t need to go to the hospital for a checkup.”
Angela pretended to be annoyed and said, “Look at you, still an intellectual but with such low. awareness. You need to address minor issues early, or they could escalate into major ones that are harder to treat. My teacher is a doctor here, and I, as his student, get discounts. It won’t cost much. I’ll reimburse you later and accompany you for a check–up.”
“You’re just a youngster. How can I accept your money?” Donald furrowed his brow and said. disapprovingly.
Angela chuckled softly. “You mentioned I’ve matured last time, and now I’m a prosperous lady. I have the means, I won’t spend it. Should I reserve it for other people? I’m looking out for you, so you don’t need to help me save.”

Chapter 104 Annoying Norma
Donald paused and sighed inwardly. In the blink of an eye, she has grown up and got married.
Seeing her well–dressed, well–fed, and with smooth and light skin which were indications she was healthy, he felt reassured about her marrying into the Lawson family.
“All right then, I won’t try to save money for you,” he conceded.
With Donald’s definitive response, Angela felt somewhat relieved.
In her previous life, she showed very little care to Donald’s family. By the time she realized he had cancer, it was too late, and he was in the terminal stage without any hope of
treatment.
Hence, she was unaware of the exact timing of his illness.
As Angela trailed Donald upstairs, she lowered her gaze and contemplated how to persuade him to undergo a biannual check–up.
In this lifetime, she was determined not to let him perish prematurely.
In no time, they reached the fourth floor of the hospital as per the directions, with room number 405.
Angela had been to the hospital several times and was familiar with the hospital, so she found the ward easily.
The ward was a quadruple room, and upon pushing the door ajar, she spotted the busy Queenie inside.
Her hair was hastily tied back, with a few strands disheveled, and her complexion appeared pallid, likely due to excessive exhaustion.
In the farthest hospital bed lay an elderly individual, appearing to be in her fifties or sixties, sporting gray hair and prominent cheekbones. Her sharp and unfriendly gaze hinted that she was not easy to get along with.
“Didn’t you notice my cup was empty? Are you trying to scald me to death with this boiling water? I knew it, the moment I fell ill, you’ve been secretly wishing for me to kick the bucket sooner rather than later, so you can be done with me.”
Queenie sighed softly and mustered a smile as she attempted to reason, “Mom, I didn’t do that. Both Horace and I sincerely hope for you to get better soon.”
“Hmph, whatever. ‘Get better soon, so you won’t have to deal with taking care of me anymore, right?” Norma shot a cold glance at her and became increasingly annoyed. “I really
