Nicole was uncertain with what she thought about. When Selina saw Nicole's contemplative expression, she believed that Nicole acquiesced in her words.
"Is that so? I warn you that you'd better to ask your wild men to return my son's work as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will die in front of your house. I won't let you go even if I was being a ghost!"
Then she was pulled out by Austin.
The police had no way to solve such kind of quarrels in family dispute. Nicole sat in her chair for a while. The policeman who was responsible for mediation walked over and handed her a cup of hot tea.
"I'm really sorry. We can't meddle in this matter,"
Nicole forced a smile and nodded, "I do understand. Thank you."
"But if they do anything to threaten your family's personal safety or wear any weapons, you must call us at once, and we will try our best to protect you."
"Yes, I understand."
The policeman was living in Nicole's block as well. From the conversation he had just heard, he could roughly figure out what was going on. In his opinion, that old lady was pestering his son and daughter-in-law who had divorced and was still unwilling to let her go.
However, as an outsider, it was hard for an official to judge other people's family affairs. In the end, he sighed helplessly and went back to his work.
Nicole finished the cup of hot water slowly. She thanked the police and left slowly.
The screams before Selina left kept resounding in her ears, which made her annoyed and have nowhere to vent her anger.
Life should settle down peacefully after her mother left the hospital. But why did she still have to suffer from such thing.
Fretful!
Nicole passed by a restaurant and bought three bowls of noodle and a few dishes. She brought them home.
It was too late to cook now, so she decided to buy some noodles for her mother and brother.
She had intended to do so. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she saw many people in the house.
Neighbors were gathering in the living room and talking, making it difficult for her to hear what they were talking about.
Nicole was frightened. She thought something bad might have happened. She didn't have time to change her shoes and pushed through the crowd and went in.
Then she saw Judy sitting on the sofa in the middle of the crowd, with a runny nose crying to a few women.
These women sighed and kept persuading Judy to let it go.
As Nicole heard the conversation, she got upset.
"Don't take it to heart. It's just a piece of shit for you. Forget it. Nicole is such a good girl. She doesn't have to worry about getting married. What's wrong with being divorced? She can still live well after getting divorced."
"Yes, there is a young man in my company who got divorced this year. I will bring you the photo tomorrow. You can have a look at it."
"Hey, here comes Nicole. Come here and take a seat. You should have told us what had happened to your family in advance. If we had known that your mother-in-law was so heartless, we would have beaten her out!"
Nicole smiled awkwardly. She lowered her head and listened to the conversation of the aunts for a long time. Then she opened her mouth, "Auntie Wang, Auntie Liu, my mother has just received an operation. The doctor said that she needs more rest. This..."
"Okay, okay. Let her get some rest. We have forgotten the most important thing because we are in a worry. We will come back another day. Have something to eat and have a good rest."
The neighbors, who were still bustling around, left.
