Without staying long, Bella accompanied him out of the ward, and they happened to meet Grace who was pushing the wheelchair...
The four of them looked at each other.
Grace tightened her grip on the wheelchair, but her pretty face looked calm.
Grace's mom didn't know what happened between Grace and Charlie, smiling and greeting her son-in-law. "Charlie, why are you here?"
"What's wrong with your legs?"
Charlie gazed at the wheelchair.
"To be honest, I fell."
The beautiful woman tutted and shook her head.
"I'm getting old and useless. I fell while walking."
Hearing that, Charlie smiled and said sweetly like before.
"You're still young and beautiful. People will think you're a popular actress and men’s dream lover. I don't think you are old at all."
At these words, Grace's mom smiled happily. "You're so sweet!"
Grace was sneering, saying meaningfully." You're getting better at telling lies. Look how calm you are! Aren't you afraid of nemesis? You're really something!"
Charlie didn't respond.
Grace's mom had no idea that the couple quarreled. Hearing what her daughter said, she reached out and pinched the back of Grace’s hand.
"Why are you talking to him like that? Only Charlie can endure your bad temper. I’m thankful that he married you."
Grace was in a bad mood. At these words, she lost her temper, letting go of the wheelchair. "Fine. Let him push you. I’m not fit to do that."
She then walked towards the ward.
