Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 589

However, she knew that no matter what Old Fourth Cecil was planning, it was not something good.

Therefore, there was no way she would agree for him to take care of her mother.

Thinking this way, Lucy refused without hesitation. “No need. She’s fine now and doesn’t need your care.”

The man’s expression immediately darkened at her words.

“Lulu, what are you saying? She’s still my wife! We’re not divorced yet and are still a legal couple. Of course I have the right to visit her when she’s sick.”

Lucy tilted her head and looked at him coldly.

Then, she sneered.

“Come on, you don’t have to act in front of me. Mom’s heath has been poor for so many years and she’s been hospitalized more than a handful of times. When have you ever cared?

“Now, knowing that she’s going to have surgery, you come scrambling and say you want to care for her? Old Fourth Cecil, what the hell is going on in your mind? Why don’t you just say it?

“That way, we can still talk about the price tag. If it’s not too much, I might be able to satisfy you, but if you want to see my mother, I’m sorry to say that you have less than a snowball’s chance in hell.”

At these words, Old Fourth Cecil’s face immediately changed.

He shot to his feet and glared at Lucy, and growled, “Lucy, don’t be cruel! She’s my wife. Who do you think you are to prevent me from visiting her? I’ll see her if I want to!”

Lucy also stood and sneered at him.

“Your wife? Have you done your duty as a husband over the years? Were you ever there for her when she was sick? When she was suffering?

“No. All you did for her was ridicule and abuse her endlessly. All you did was gamble away the money she’s managed to save time and time again. All you’ve ever given to her was sadness and disappointment. Now, what guts do you have to come here and say that you’re her husband?”

“Pa!”

As soon as the words fell, a heavy slap was thrown at Lucy’s face.

Old Fourth Cecil was so angry that he was shaking.

He glared at Lucy with eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to poke a few new holes into her body.

“Y-You’re outrageous! Your wings must have really hardened for you to dare talk to me like this. I swear I’ll…”

He was just about to raise his hand again.

At that moment, Lucy’s phone suddenly rang.

The abrupt ringing broke the tense atmosphere between the two people. Lucy hurriedly ran to the coffee table and pulled out her phone from her bag.

On the screen, the caller ID showed that it was Joel Foster.

All her grievances and fears seemed to suddenly collapse.

Her tears rolled down uncontrollable. She looked back at Old Fourth and then picked up the phone without hesitation.

“Hello.”

The moment she picked up the call, Old Fourth reached out and opened his mouth, as if trying to stop her.

However, he was too late.

Lucy connected the phone and even deliberately put it on speaker.

On the other hand, Joel’s gentle voice sounded.

“Lulu, are you sleeping?”

Lucy tried her best to tamp down her crying, biting her fist and trying to make her voice as normal as possible.

“Not yet. What’s up?”

“Oh, nothing.” On the other side, Joel’s voice was tinged with a smile, so gentle that it almost seemed to ooze out.

“I just missed you and wanted to hear your voice. It’s getting late now. You should rest early.”

Lucy forced a smile even though she knew he could not see it, and said, “Yeah, you too.”
