“William, help me kick Carl’s mother out. This woman is simply unreasonable!”
Nana was out of breath due to her anger and just wanted Mrs. Waters to disappear before her eyes.
Upon hearing Nana call William’s name, Mrs. Waters finally realized that he was the man in the photo.
No wonder he looked familiar…
“You shameless couple!”
To Mrs. Waters’ surprise, William came over to help, which made her even more furious.
She forcefully shook off William’s hand and pointed at him, angrily scolding, “You shameless creature! You not only messed around with my son but also wanted to trick him into donating bone marrow!”
As the words fell, Mrs. Waters seemed to bear a deep grudge against him and screamed, pouncing on him.
“You despicable man and woman! You schemed against my son. Today, I’ll scratch you to death!”
Mrs. Waters jumped and cursed, targeting William’s face and neck, scratching and spitting at him.
Originally, William only intended to follow Nana’s orders and drive the arrogant Mrs. Waters out of the ward.
But now…
He could be extremely caring towards Nana, but he didn’t have the same patience for others.
“So you want to provoke me?”
William’s eyes turned cold, and a glint of frost shot straight at Mrs. Waters’ face.
Without another word, he lifted Mrs. Waters up like a chick, took a few steps, and dragged her into the corridor.
Finally, someone managed to drive Mrs. Waters out of the ward, and the nurses breathed a sigh of relief.
However, William didn’t stop there. He forcefully pushed Mrs. Waters, causing her to fall to the ground.
“Oh dear! He’s assaulting me! Help, help!”
Mrs. Waters lay on the ground and started playing the victim, rolling around and crying.
William paid no attention to her, turned around, and headed back towards the ward.
Mrs. Waters’ cries quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers, and everyone was discussing her. Nurses also stepped forward to persuade her.
“Madam, please stop causing trouble. If you have something to say, stand up and talk.”
Upon hearing the nurse’s words, Mrs. Waters deliberately sniffed and showed her bruised arm to her.
“Are you blind, young girl? It was clearly that scoundrel who laid hands on me. Look, my arm is bruised because of him!”
Mrs. Waters was filled with righteous indignation as she picked up her bag and sat on the ground, preparing to call the police.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the police received Mrs. Waters’ report and quickly arrived at the hospital to handle the situation.
Seeing the police officers in uniform, Mrs. Waters suddenly became spirited. She sobbed and cried, recounting her experience of being assaulted.
Although the police officers could tell that Mrs. Waters was making a scene, they had to resolve the case, so they entered the ward to verify the situation with William.
Subsequently, through the statements from both sides, the police officers finally understood the cause and effect of the incident.
“Madam, I believe the main responsibility for this incident lies with you!”
The police officers shook their heads and smiled as they patiently mediated, “First, you broke the patient’s phone and even physically attacked Mr. Lawrence. It’s reasonable for him to drive you out!”
Mrs. Waters didn’t expect the police officers to be siding with Nana and William all along. She was furious, grasping at straws, and argued with a twisted neck, “I broke the phone because Nana provoked me, and I attacked William because he was disrespectful to me. In any case, I want them to apologize to me, or this matter won’t be over today!”
Hearing Mrs. Waters’ unyielding tone, the police officers were completely helpless.
William didn’t want Mrs. Waters to continue affecting Nana, so he suggested going to the police station to resolve the conflict.
In this way, Mrs. Waters was escorted out of the hospital by the police. However, she caused a scene at the police station and was detained for the day on charges of provocation.
On the other hand, Carl had just finished a press conference and was planning to go to the hospital when he received a call from the police.
Upon hearing that his mother had been arrested, he felt a headache coming on and had no choice but to make a detour to rescue her.
Two hours later, Mrs. Waters wrote a guarantee letter herself and Carl paid the fine before she was released.
On the way home, Carl had a gloomy expression and remained silent the whole time.
As his mother continued to complain and vent her frustrations, he simply parked the car by the roadside.
“Mom, have you said enough? If you have, I’ll continue driving.”
Seeing Carl’s dark expression, Mrs. Waters also realized that she had caused a big fuss today. Reluctantly, she closed her mouth.
He then dropped his mother off at home without even entering the front gate before rushing to the hospital.
Carl, looking weary, stepped out of the elevator and happened to meet the attending doctor, who informed him that the surgery for their child would take place next week.
He was overjoyed, thinking that Nana was unaware of this news, and quickened his pace towards the ward.
However, when he pushed open the door, he unexpectedly saw William sitting by the bedside, peeling an orange for Nana.
“Carl…”
Nana, who was originally apologizing to William, noticed Carl’s arrival and her expression inexplicably became awkward.
She softly called out to Carl and greeted him with a slight smile, “You’re here. Today, my parents went to the temple to pray for our baby. I believe she will recover soon.”
With William present, Carl didn’t say much and simply nodded.
Afterwards, he removed the bouquet from the cabinet and placed the new bunch of flowers he had bought on top.
During this period, Carl had been secretly trying to improve his relationship with Nana.
Since he couldn’t express his hidden words openly, he wanted to use actions to show his love for her.
The atmosphere in the ward cooled down, and William glanced at Carl’s silent figure before turning to see Nana staring at him absentmindedly.
At that moment, William realized that there seemed to be an unusual affection in Nana’s eyes towards Carl.
But she had never looked at him like that…
William became aware of something and felt a twinge of discomfort in his heart.
“William, you should go back earlier.”
Suddenly, Nana interrupted William’s thoughts, her voice gentle as she said, “You know my parents have prejudices against you. When they come back later, I’m afraid they’ll start arguing again.”
Upon hearing this, a flicker of anger flashed in William’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared, as if it was just a passing moment.
“I understand. I’ll come to see you another day then.”
William’s tone was reluctant as he bid farewell to Nana.
Today, because Nana was present, Carl and William didn’t have a conflict. They simply ignored each other.
Listening to the fading footsteps of William, Carl spoke calmly, “I just met with the director. He said Janelle will have surgery next week.”
“Yeah, I heard about it too.”
Nana smiled lightly, hesitating as she brought up another matter, “By the way, Carl, your mother came to see me today.”
Since Carl had already learned about his mother causing a scene at the hospital, he apologized, “I’m sorry, Nana. I talked to my mom and asked her not to interfere with saving our daughter. Don’t worry, no one will influence the baby’s surgery.”
Upon hearing Carl’s assurance, Nana nodded in relief.
She was about to advise Carl not to let his relationship with his mother become too strained when they heard Jerry and Tracy’s voices coming from the corridor.
