After settling Nana, the elderly couple hurriedly made their way to the Eoplaperon Temple to pray for blessings.
Although praying was merely for psychological comfort, people in desperate situations often placed their hopes in deities.
At this moment, Nana’s heart was restless, not wanting to lose her daughter before even seeing her face.
Praying for her child, she felt a tangle of emotions and silently prayed for her child.
After a while, the doctor completed his rounds, and Nana, considering that she couldn’t get out of bed, prepared to call Jane.
She struggled to sit up and finally managed to reach the phone on the cabinet.
Just as Nana found Jane’s number in her contacts and was about to press the call button, she heard someone kick the door open.
“Nana! How selfish and despicable you are! You actually instigated my son to donate bone marrow! Do you want to make him disabled?”
Mrs. Waters stormed in, standing at the door, questioning Nana while closing the door to the hospital room.
The reason she came to the hospital today was to force Nana to persuade Carl to give up donating bone marrow.
As soon as Nana heard Mrs. Waters causing trouble again, she slowly lifted her chin, only to see an angry face.
In the past, Nana was gentle and weak, but now, with her daughter’s life hanging by a thread, she naturally became strong.
This was also a turning point in her life transformation.
“When did I ever instigate your son?”
Nana felt that Mrs. Waters was completely unreasonable and smiled mockingly as she retorted, “You should ask Carl when he volunteered, whether it was his own choice or if I forced him to save his child.”
In fact, Mrs. Waters knew the truth. Carl had always been supportive of Nana and regarded their newborn daughter as a precious gem.
So the likelihood of him volunteering to donate bone marrow was higher, with Nana and her family at most providing support.
But she couldn’t admit it, so she continued to hurl insults and provoke.
“You uncultured person! Every time you see me, you argue with me!”
Mrs. Waters glared at Nana fiercely, her expression disdainful. “My son has become estranged from everyone because of you. Your daughter’s illness is your retribution!”
Seeing Mrs. Waters blaming her, Nana couldn’t hold back any longer. She wanted to reason, but quickly calmed down.
“I don’t need to argue with you. If you have any objections, go and throw a tantrum at your son, Carl.”
Nana responded coldly, no longer wanting to have any conversation with Mrs. Waters.
Seeing Nana turn her face and ignore her, Mrs. Waters believed that Nana’s behavior was a demonstration against her.
In Mrs. Waters’ eyes, her relationship with Carl was strained, all because of Nana!
Therefore, the more she thought about it, the more infuriated she became and sneered, “Fine, fine, I won’t argue with you. In any case, I won’t let Carl donate bone marrow!”
She said as she walked out of the doorway, preparing to find the doctor and continue causing a scene.
Just then, a nurse pushed the door open and smiled at Nana before speaking, “Ms. Lawson, the chief asked me to tell you that after tomorrow when the child’s father donates bone marrow, he will personally perform the surgery on the child next week.”
Nana was overjoyed at the news, and all the unhappiness in her heart disappeared.
“Thank you so much. Please also convey my thanks to the chief.”
Nana responded gratefully to the nurse, eagerly anticipating the success of her daughter’s surgery.
However, Mrs. Waters, upon hearing the nurse’s words, became even more displeased.
“Wait! Don’t leave yet!”
Mrs. Waters stopped the nurse, her demeanor arrogant as she announced, “I am Carl’s mother, and I do not agree to him donating bone marrow!”
Seeing the nurse’s puzzled expression, Mrs. Waters didn’t give her a chance to speak.
“I’m telling you, if your hospital extracts my son’s bone marrow, I will sue you!”
The surgery arrangements were all set, but Carl’s mother suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The nurse looked embarrassed and patiently explained, “I’m sorry, ma’am, Mr. Waters has already signed the agreement. It was his voluntary decision, and relatives have no right to interfere.”
“And how come I have no rights? I’m his mother!”
Mrs. Waters glared with anger in her eyes and aggressively interrogated, “Are you in cahoots with Nana? Has she given you some benefits?”
The young nurse was left speechless by the accusations and furrowed her brow to clarify, “Madam, you have misunderstood. I haven’t received any benefits from anyone…”
“Do you think I would believe that?”
Mrs. Waters sneered coldly, no longer bothering with the nurse as she pushed past her to find the director.
Meanwhile, Nana, considering her child’s safety, couldn’t let Mrs. Waters interfere with the surgery.
At this moment, the only way to get rid of Mrs. Waters was to call Carl.
Thinking this, she hurriedly picked up her phone, preparing to call Carl.
“What are you doing? Who do you want to call?”
Mrs. Waters hadn’t left the hospital room yet when she saw Nana making a phone call.
Nana paused her actions, giving Mrs. Waters a cold glance, and informed her, “Weren’t you against donating bone marrow for my daughter? I’m calling Carl so you can stop him in person.”
Hearing Nana’s words, Mrs. Waters raised an eyebrow, sensing Nana’s ill intentions.
“I understand!”
Mrs. Waters’s words carried a sharp and sarcastic tone, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You called Carl to help you, didn’t you?”
Nana naturally wouldn’t admit to it and replied indifferently, “You’re thinking too much. I just want some peace and hope Carl can get you to leave.”
With that, she pressed Carl’s number, hoping he would answer soon.
But Mrs. Waters, unable to control her emotions after being repeatedly confronted by Nana, gritted her teeth in anger.
“You wretch! Hang up the phone!”
Mrs. Waters shouted angrily and rushed towards the hospital bed.
At that moment, Carl still hadn’t answered the call, and Nana, sitting on the bed with limited mobility, watched as Mrs. Waters tried to snatch the phone away.
The nurse at the door was dumbfounded and hurriedly tried to stop Mrs. Waters from causing a scene in the hospital room.
But who could stop Mrs. Waters with her temper?
“Give me back the phone…”
Nana was infuriated, her eyes turning red, but with her current physical condition, she was no match for Mrs. Waters.
“You’ve gone too far! Why did you break my phone?”
Seeing cracks appearing on the screen, Nana clenched her fist and grabbed a pillow, ready to strike Mrs. Waters.
Mrs. Waters, on the other hand, became even more arrogant and was about to step on Nana a couple of times when suddenly a figure flashed by in her peripheral vision.
“You old hag, do you think no one dares to teach you a lesson?”
As these low and deep words rang out, Mrs. Waters felt a sharp pain in her left arm as a large and powerful hand tightly gripped her.
She was stunned for a moment, looking up to see a sturdy man staring at her angrily.
In an instant, Mrs. Waters felt that this unfamiliar man seemed somewhat familiar.
“Who are you? I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere…”
Mrs. Waters was filled with confusion, but as she pondered, she heard Nana’s voice drifting over.
