Chapter 1256: Chapter 1228 The Scene is Somewhat Chaotic (300+ Monthly Tickets) Chapter 1256: Chapter 1228 The Scene is Somewhat Chaotic (300+ Monthly Tickets) Sister-in-law directly ordered Kiara to stay in the Emergency Room bed and not get up, and once the door closed, the assailant still had no idea what trouble they had caused. The noble lady asked Billa.
“Who exactly is she?”
“I don't know.” Billa now felt extremely guilty; she had never met Kiara before, yet she had gotten her hospitalized. Could she truly be such a disaster that anyone who came into contact with her was doomed?
“Hurry up and call Yoel Marine, and tell him to send some money over right away. These people just want to extort some money, right? Small-town hicks who have never seen the City Market, trying to intimidate who?” The noble lady thought nothing of it and imperiously commanded Billa.
Billa remained unmoved, a smirk of mockery on her lips.
“Do you not know your own son? He holds money dearer than life; you want him to send money?”
The noble lady thought about it, and then said, “Then you call our third youngest, and get him to bring the money over.”
“You call yourself.” Billa said coolly, and the noble lady hit a soft nail.
In truth, Billa had already instructed her assistant to withdraw money. Her moving company had just started and there wasn't much in the account, but since an incident had occurred, she absolutely wouldn't shy away from it. She would not stand idly by, regardless of whether Kiara was hurt or not, even if she had to sell houses and land to compensate. She just couldn't stand her future mother-in-law's arrogant attitude, so she deliberately said nothing, just to see the noble lady desperately making calls for help, Billa watched with a detached face.
She really couldn't fit into this kind of family; no matter how hard she tried, her mother-in-law would never approve of her, and no one cared about her except for the man she loved.
Meanwhile, in the Emergency Room, Sister-in-law was chatting about household matters with Kiara.
They weren't occupying the hospital's sickbed, to avoid people coming later and having no place to lie down; the two of them were hanging out in an unobtrusive corner of the Emergency Room. Sister-in-law handed Kiara a handful of pine nuts, and as they ate, the sisters-in-law chatted, with Kiara recounting what had happened.
Sister-in-law, a Dog-Blood Drama Lover, became furious, all the more convinced that Kiara had done nothing wrong. Talking on this kind of person, who looks down on others with disdain, required exactly this approach. If they didn't set her straight, wouldn't it seem as if Old Yu Moore's family was powerless?
After a while, when the sisters-in-law were almost done eating, Sister-in-law figured it was about time and had someone wheel Kiara out, where Arlong came over to ask.
“How is my sister doing?”
“She's having a pregnancy scare. This is a serious matter; she needs to stay in the hospital for observation,” the doctor who brought Kiara out said as instructed by Sister-in-law.
“She has a pregnancy scare just from being slapped? How can she be so delicate?” The noble lady was a bit unhappy when she heard about the need for observation.
“How can you, an old lady who assaulted someone, speak like that? A pregnant woman's body is precious. You, being reckless enough to strike again and again, if there's a problem let me tell you, you won't be able to walk away from it!”
Sister-in-law's eyebrows shot up when she heard this. Not to mention that Kiara was her sister-in-law; even if she weren't, a pregnant patient being hit definitely needed to be observed, though of course staying in the hospital would be an exaggeration.
“What kind of attitude is that, doctor? What's your name? I'm going to complain to the Dean about you! And let me tell you, I know your Dean personally.”
Billa, who heard this, came over, worried that the situation would escalate further and affect Kiara's family. She reached out to pull the noble lady back.
“What are you doing? Your person has been admitted to the hospital already; do you still want to cause a scene?”
“Let go of me! How dare you lay a hand on me?!” The noble lady, ashamed and enraged, reached out to slap Billa again.
Sister-in-law pushed the noble lady away, who then bumped into the wall, “What are you doing? This is a Hospital! Keep it down! If you want to find our Dean, you can go upstairs. This is my work card. I won't change my name or my place of sitting. If you wish to complain, then go ahead!”
She wasn't afraid at all. Sister-in-law had been working in this hospital for many years now. Not to mention that her family background was intimidating, with her medical skills and clinical experience alone, she had risen to be a chief physician. Was she afraid of a troublemaker like this filing a complaint? Pah!
Kiara lay on the stretcher, watching the commotion unfold. My goodness, the elder sister-in-law's fighting spirit is really fierce! Truly, “indulging in one's willful ways for half a life, one returns still a youth.” Don't be fooled by the kids being all grown up, she still has the heart of a young girl.
The noble lady couldn't get the better of the sister-in-law and, after glancing at the work badge on her clothes and memorizing the sister-in-law's name, continued with her relentless verbal assault.
“You just wait! I'm going to find the Dean right now!”
Arlong heard the old lady trying to slip away and was about to go after her when an authoritative female voice came from down the corridor.
“Who sent my daughter-in-law to the hospital?! Come on, show yourself to me!”
Upon hearing this, Kiara thought, Huh? How did Mother-in-law end up here?
There she saw a middle-aged woman standing in the hallway, dressed casually but unable to hide the aura of nobility about her–it was Kiara's mother-in-law, Mother Yuno.
Right behind Mother Yuno stood the Maitreya Buddhlike elder brother. Kiara, puzzled, looked at her sister-in-law, as if to ask, Did you call our mom?
The sister-in-law was also confused; no, she hadn't. She was planning to side with Kiara and take care of the troublesome old lady but had not thought to notify Mother Yuno. It would be fine to handle these matters and then just share it as a laugh afterward. It wasn't necessary to trouble the elder with such trivial things.
Kiara wondered, wasn't Mother Yuno in Linville taking care of Isaac? How come she suddenly showed up?
It turned out that Arlong had called the elder brother when Kiara had first pretended to be sick, and the elder brother had just happened to be driving, with none other than Mother Yuno in the car.
Mother Yuno had wanted to go home to check on her spouse today and asked her son to pick her up. Hearing that Kiara had been sent to the hospital by someone had made her so angry that she had her elder son bring her over immediately.
Mother Yuno approached and first asked Kiara, “Kiara, how do you feel?”
“Umm…” Kiara was about to say she wasn't sick at all, but seeing the noble lady, she thought she might as well go through with the act. So, she pointed to her sister-in-law and said in a roundabout way,
“She says I need to be observed.”
Seeing Kiara passing the buck to her, the sister-in-law quickly tugged Mother Yuno away and whispered the details to her fussily.
“Don't dawdle about. How much Money is it going to take? Is this not all about Money? Our family has plenty of Money!” The noble lady was unrepentant to the end.
After hearing her elder daughter-in-law, Mother Yuno was just about to scold the two for teaming up as a jest, which she considered inappropriate, but upon hearing the other's remark, she felt that what her daughters-in-law did was not wrong at all.
Turning to her elder son, she demanded, “Give me the bag!”
The elder brother silently handed over his wallet. Mother Yuno opened it, pulled out a wad of Money, and slapped it across the face of the noble lady. This took Kiara by such surprise that she forgot she was supposed to be the patient and sat up immediately. Wow, this was quite a sight!
“You think you're so great because you have Money? You think a bit of stinking Money means you can forget who you are?” After smacking her with one bundle of Money, Mother Yuno pulled out another and smacked her again, reddening the noble lady's face.
“Bullying our family's daughter-in-law and thinking you can solve everything with Money, as if you're the only one with Money? Apologize to our family!”
As the noble lady tried to retaliate, Arlong hurried over to hold her back. What a satisfying scene to behold.
Billa, seeing his future mother-in-law being hit, knew he couldn't just stand by despite knowing this old lady truly deserved it. So he decided to step forward and say a few words to smooth things over, causing some chaos on the scene.
