No wonder Mrs. Waters and Nana couldn’t get along at all. It seemed that their backgrounds were incompatible.
In Mrs. Waters’ eyes, people like Jerry and Tracy, who were engaged in business, although not poorly off, were far from matching her son.
And Grace, regardless of her wealth, came from a family in the entertainment industry. Even if she didn’t have a fortune, she was at least in the same circle as Carl and could provide assistance to his career.
The car stopped in front of the residential building, and Mrs. Waters got out and went straight to knock on the door.
“Bang bang bang!”
Nana had just put the baby to sleep and hadn’t even let go of her from her arms when she heard someone knocking on the door.
“What kind of person is making such a fuss…”
Tracy, who was washing crabs in the kitchen, complained irritably.
Jerry, who was assisting her, also looked up at the door.
However, Nana thought that Carl might have something else to say since he had just left, so she decided to open the door herself to avoid affecting her parents’ mood.
“Mom, Dad, you can carry on. I’ll go and check!”
Nana said and approached the door with the baby in her arms.
She opened the door with one hand, intending to remind Carl that the daughter had just fallen asleep.
However, before Nana could say anything, Mrs. Waters saw her and immediately fell into a hysterical state.
“You wretched woman! It’s because of you that I can’t have a grandchild! Today, I’ll kill you!”
Mrs. Waters, full of anger, started cursing and was about to push Nana to the ground, but her hand slipped, and she ended up pushing the baby in her arms instead.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound coming from the marble floor, Janelle, who was less than two months old, was dropped and started crying loudly.
Tracy quickly ran over, agilely picking up her granddaughter in the first instance.
Faced with this scene, Nana was dumbfounded. She watched as her daughter’s face turned purple and tears streamed down her forehead, which quickly swelled into a large bump.
“You have gone too far!”
Jerry saw Mrs. Waters charging forward, throwing a tantrum and even laying hands on the child. He immediately raised his fist and rushed towards the door.
But before he could reach Mrs. Waters, Nana stopped him with one hand.
“Dad, you go and check on the baby. I’ll deal with this old hag myself!”
Nana knew too well what kind of person Mrs. Waters was. She didn’t want to give her the opportunity to claim that their family of three was bullying her alone.
Therefore, Nana decided to face Mrs. Waters, who came to pick a fight, alone. And this time, she wouldn’t let her off easily.
“You dare to drop my daughter?”
Nana asked angrily, her voice filled with indignation.
Mrs. Waters, however, remained indifferent and acted as if she had nothing to do with it.
“Don’t push everything onto me. It was clearly your fault for not holding the child properly. Who are you blaming?”
Realizing that Mrs. Waters showed no care for her crying granddaughter, Nana was utterly disappointed in this woman.
“Today, I’ll push everything onto you, and I won’t let you get away with it!”
Provoked by Mrs. Waters’ nonchalant attitude, Nana’s anger grew stronger.
The next moment, without giving Mrs. Waters a chance to speak, Nana suddenly kicked her, sending her stumbling into the corridor, and then closed the door.
“Clap clap clap!”
Seeing Mrs. Waters stumbling and falling, Nana pounced on her, straddling her and immediately began slapping her.
In a mix of sadness and anger, Nana exerted all her strength, leaving Mrs. Waters completely unconscious.
But Nana didn’t stop there. Hearing Mrs. Waters’ whimpering, an inexplicable rage surged from the depths of her heart.
“Clap clap clap!”
Another series of hard slaps landed on Mrs. Waters’ face.
This time, Mrs. Waters’ nose started to bleed, and she realized that Nana might have gone insane. She began screaming and struggling to escape.
“You crazy woman, let go of me! You’re going to kill me…”
Mrs. Waters used all her strength to turn over, crawling forward while shouting, “Someone come quickly! This wretched woman has gone mad! Someone stop her!”
Nana remained silent. She quickly caught up with Mrs. Waters, who was crawling on the ground, grabbed her hair, and continued punching and kicking her.
“Help me, she’s killing me…”
Mrs. Waters clutched her head and screamed in misery, her eyes filled with fear and indignation.
In her entire life, she had never been physically attacked by anyone, and now she wished she could tear Nana into pieces.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Waters was already fifty years old, and in terms of physical strength and agility, she was no match for a young person.
Despite her unwillingness, at this moment, she could only endure Nana’s harsh punishment.
After a couple of minutes, during which Mrs. Waters wailed for help to no avail, Nana’s frenzied actions suddenly stopped.
“Get lost and never come near my daughter again. Otherwise, next time, I’ll finish you off!”
Nana’s face darkened, determined to subdue Mrs. Waters this time.
After saying those words, Nana turned around and pressed the doorbell.
Jerry opened the door and saw the bruised and swollen Mrs. Waters lying on the ground. He couldn’t help but feel distressed for Nana.
“Nana, you went too far. How could you beat her up like this?”
Detecting Jerry’s concern, Nana responded expressionlessly, “Don’t worry, she won’t die. I just want her to know that she can bully me, but she can’t touch my daughter!”
Nana was the type of person who remained calm until provoked, but once she took action, she would make a remarkable display.
During the early stages of her pregnancy, she stayed at the Waters Residence and endured countless days and nights with Mrs. Waters.
Even when Grace appeared later on, she didn’t make a big fuss with Mrs. Waters.
But when Janelle was pushed to the ground by her own grandmother, hitting her forehead and causing a large bump, Nana couldn’t bear it any longer.
Nana even prepared herself, ready to accept the consequences. Even if she accidentally killed Mrs. Waters today, she would have accepted it.
Of course, considering her daughter’s future, she exercised restraint in her actions. She avoided targeting vital areas.
Although Mrs. Waters was beaten all over and bruised, she didn’t suffer any serious injuries apart from the pain.
Looking at her daughter’s cold face, Jerry knew that Mrs. Waters had provoked her and could only sigh at the consequences of her own actions.
“Mrs. Waters, you brought this upon yourself. As a father, I can reason with you. Take this money and see a doctor!”
Jerry spoke and had his wife throw two thousand dollars at Mrs. Waters.
Mrs. Waters wasn’t lacking money, but seeing the two stacks of banknotes thrown at her, her swollen cheeks were filled with resentment.
She glared at Nana and Jerry with bitter eyes, gritting her teeth, “Just wait for me! Today is only the beginning!”
Leaving behind these harsh words, Mrs. Waters limped down the stairs.
Just as Mrs. Waters disappeared around the corner of the stairs, tears welled up in Nana’s eyes. She turned and ran back home to check on her daughter’s condition.
“Half of her forehead is swollen. Let’s take the baby to see a doctor.”
Nana’s heart ached as if she were cutting her own flesh. She took the baby from her mother’s arms and comforted her while apologizing, “I’m sorry, Janelle, Mommy didn’t protect you well…”
Seeing Nana’s anxious expression, Tracy reassured her, “Don’t worry, look at how alert and spirited the baby is. She should be fine. When you were little, your father also accidentally dropped you.”
Since her mother had experience in childcare, Nana chose to trust her.
However, she couldn’t shake off her worries, afraid that her child would be frightened again.
