Chapter 180
While I was deep in my own thoughts, my mother-in-law looked anxious. “Eliza, what happened? Are you well?”
My mother-in-law’s concern was very well expressed. She was obviously worried about Eliza’s son.
“It hurts so much! What’s the matter with you? You are crazy? Why did you push the door so hard?” Eliza yelled at Victoria rudely.
Victoria hadn’t expected that to happen when she opened the door. Immediately, she apologized: “I’m sorry; I didn’t know this would happen.”
“What can an apology change? Do you want to let me hit you back and then apologize to you?” Eliza was an irrational person.
“If it would relieve you of your anger, you can go ahead and hit me if you like.” Victoria responded calmly.
“So, you don’t think it’s wrong? Shouldn’t I scold him? Well well. Stay here and let me push the door now.” Thinking Victoria was mocking her, Eliza reached out and grabbed Victoria by the hand.
“Eliza!” My father-in-law frowned and stopped her.
“What? Didn’t she say I could hit her?”
Looking at Eliza, my father-in-law was irritated by her words. “It was just a bump and she apologized. What more do you
want?”
“What’s the use of an apology? I’m still hurting. What if she accidentally hurts my…” Eliza must have wanted to say, ‘What if she accidentally hurts my son? I won’t let you get away if that happens!”
However, she didn’t say them out loud. I saw my mother-in-law stop and Eliza shut up. immediately.
On the other hand, my mother-in-law looked at Victoria with distaste. “Why did you come? Did I not ask you to watch Jolene at home?”
“Miss Hamilton said she was fine and wanted me to come and take care of Lily first.”
“Lily has Carson here, but there’s no one home. If something happened to Jolene, it would be terrible. I need to go home
now.”
My mother-in-law’s words were becoming more and more explicit.
“Get out if you want; there is no one holding you!” This time, Carson was the one who shooed them away.
Without saying a word, my father-in-law took the lead and walked away. Mrs. Boyer and Eliza followed suit. Seeing that Eliza had gladly left and stopped looking for trouble, Victoria breathed a sigh of relief and came over to me worriedly. “Lily, I heard what happened to you. cheer up; everything will be fine if you take good care of your body.”
Nodding to her comforting words, I said nothing.
Now that Victoria was here, there was nothing I could do to stop Jolene from coming into my room to change pills. Fortunately, it would be useless even if Jolene had switched them. As long as the blood test report came out, I’d have enough time to replace the medicine when she got back.
As I thought, Sally entered with a solemn expression. Before she could say anything, I asked, “Dr. Sally, did my blood test come out?”
