Chapter 96
I glared at Henriques , but he did n’t seem willing to pay any attention to me . Deftly unlocking my cell phone , he punched in his number before handing it back to me . “ This is my number . _ When you are free after _go home , call me about medical expenses . _ _ _ _ Oh yeah , do n’t call me before 8:00 am , between 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm , or after 10:00 pm at night . “
I ‘ve never known a man like him to be totally arrogant , rich but mean , and has nothing going for him other than his good looks . Not wanting to talk to him any longer , I took Bianca ‘s hand and walked into the hospital building .
When I pushed open the door to Joana ‘s infirmary , I immediately saw her lying on the bed , looking very warm . Meanwhile , my mother-in-law was sitting on the couch , watching television . However , there was no sign of Victory . where did she go
Victory ?
While I was reflecting on this , my mother-in-law caught sight of us . Rising to her feet , she greeted me with a bright smile . “ You ‘re here , Linda ! ”
His attitude was so pleasant that it surprised me . Judging by her kindness , Carlos could have told her about . _ _ my pregnancy . However , I was a little intrigued . _ She ‘s always been an open – mouthed person , so he doesn’twould he be afraid that she would tell Joana everything if he told her the news ? Perplexed , I smiled at her back . _ “ Mom , you must have been bored in the hospital , right ? ”
“ No way . _ I can watch television here , so it’s not much different than being at home , ” replied my mother-in-law .
While we were talking , Joana , who was lying on the bed , opened her eyes . The moment she saw me , a surprised expression blossomed on her face . _ _ _ “ Linda , you ‘re here ! ”
With that , I walked over to the hospital bed and looked at her with concern . “ I’ve been busy these days , so I have n’t had time to come visit . How are you , Joan ? ”
“ I’m much better . It’s just that I ‘ve been bothering Mrs. Morals these days , so I feel really bad for making her fuss over me . _ _ _ _ Joana looked at my mother – in – law with all the gratitude in the world .
“ That ‘s true . We gave her work these days , mother ” . Likewise , I thanked my mother – in – law with gratitude engraved on
your face .
“ No way , so do n’t mention it . Now we are a family since we are living together . There’s no need to stand on ceremony with the family , ” my mother-in- law blurted out at once .
Oh ! Who is a family with you ? That bitch on the bed is family with you ! I inwardly criticized . The fact that she and Joana were imitating each other was really beyond my expectations . Their conversation seems to have been rehearsed .I inwardly raised my guard . _ Are they trying to corner me again ? _ _
Right after a thought like that crossed my mind , my mother – in-law continued : “ Joana , didn’t you say you had something to say to Linda ? Now that she ‘s here , why do n’t you tell her ? _ ”
“ Mrs. _ Morals ! ” A conflicted expression appeared on Joana ‘s face . _ “ Forget it . I ‘d better not say anything .”
“ Joana , I do n’t want to punish you , but Linda is your friend and we never considered you an intruder . Now that you’re in trouble , you should tell Linda right away . Why are you saving this ? _ ”
The fact that they ‘re singing the same song makes it obvious that they ‘re setting me up , I scoffed inwardly . However , if I do not say anything at this time , it will certainly arouse suspicion . “ Disturbed ? Why are you worried , Joana _?”
Joana let out a sigh , with an expression of pity .
