The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 959

Fenna stepped forward, her voice gentle. "Leo, Candice, this is on you. Your mother is getting older and as her son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law, shouldn't you be there for her? It's because you moved out and left her alone that this terrible incident happened."

Elio's face clouded over, and he was ready to retort when Candice squeezed his hand, silently urging him to stay calm. She didn't want Elio confronting Fenna at the hospital.

Candice had her emotions in check, but Jasper didn't. Anyone who dared to cross Candice would face his fury. He stormed up to Josie and gave her a severe reprimand. "Josie, what's gotten into you?"

Josie was taken aback as Fenna watched, bewildered by his outburst.

Jasper continued his tirade with his hands on his hips. "Even though Candice is engaged to Uncle Elio, she's just his partner. You, on the other hand, are Grandma's chosen future daughter-in-law. She only sees you in that role.

"As her daughter-in-law, shouldn't you be there to care for her instead of letting her fall and get hurt? Are you doing your job? Don't you have any sense of responsibility?"

Josie was utterly speechless. She wanted to argue but was unable to muster a response.

Fenna hurried over and positioned herself protectively before Josie. She grumbled, "What kind of twisted reasoning is this? Your grandmother fell, and you blame Josie for that? Are you out of your mind?"

Jasper sneered, "Out of my mind? You blame Uncle Elio and Candice for not being home to take care of Grandma, which led to her fall.

"Have you ever thought about who's been practically acting as the Hoffises' daughter-in-law without any official title?

"Does she truly believe she's so special? She's always hovering over Grandma. How could they just sit comfortably at home?"

Fenna's face contorted with anger. Josie tugged her arm and whispered, "Aunt Fenna, don't stoop to his level."
