After Samuel and Asher ate their meal, there were still suspicions over whether Simon and the others would retaliate against Asher after Samuel left. Therefore, the only solution was to bring Asher back to the hospital. A VIP ward was arranged for Florinda and a nurse was asked to take care of Asher.
Florinda was very grateful to Samuel for what he had done for her. An area in the VIP ward was provided for Asher to rest. That way, she could continue recuperating with peace of mind.
After doing all that, Samuel returned home.
Although he had already expected Lydia not to give u p, Samuel was still quite surprised when Lydia told him to leave upon reaching the house.
Yvonne guarded Samuel and ignored the fuss Lydia kicked up. Yvonne then asked Samuel, "What exactly happened, Samuel?"
Samuel recounted that day's events in precise detail.
Yvonne was so incensed and thoroughly fuming after hearing that. She never expected Lydia to be that unreasonable. Rather than taking responsibility for running over someone, she even scolded them for faking the accident and asked Samuel to bear the brunt of it.
"Mom, how can you blame Samuel for this? When did
you become so unreasonable?" Yvonne asked Lydia angrily.
Lydia sat down on the ground and began to cry. This was her trump card. When reason and logic failed to work, all she could do was throw a hissy fit.
"Godfrey, why is my life so bitter? You're worthless, and now that my daughter's showing promise, she would rather help someone than her own family.
What did I do in my last life?" Lydia burst into tears and performed a wonderful show of misery. 2
Samuel did not argue much in the past for fear that it would make life harder for Yvonne, but on that day, Samuel would not give in or concede at all.
"Mom, do you know what her family's going through? She has a son with Down’s syndrome. Do you know how she felt after getting injured? When she was unable to take care of her son and he was being stoned by the neighbors?" Samuel asked coldly.
"What does it have to do with me? She's only trying to fake the accident and extort money because she has such a retarded son. Do you honestly think you're a good person?" Lydia said.
