Regardless, Angeline wore an expression of ignorant courage and spoke, "He doesn't have a say in this."
Jay responded with an 'if you may' gesture. "Tell me how it goes."
Angeline was stunned at how easily he was letting her off.
Had she known he would be all bark and no bite, she would not have spent the last few days constantly looking over her shoulder.
Exiting Jay's hospital room, Angeline was shocked to realize that Sera’s was right next to his.
"What a coincidence." Angeline sighed.
What she did not know was that it was Jay's intention, just so he would have the chance to see her.
In Sera’s hospital room sat Jack's first wife next to her bed, caringly feeding Sera chicken soup.
Mockery danced over Angeline's expression as she leaned against the doorframe. "Thank you for taking s o much care of my sister, Madam.”
Both the madam's and Sera's gazes turned to the door. Seeing Angeline, their expressions instantly turned to shock.
Angeline continued, "Although, I’m curious why you’re
not taking the time to worry for Josephine, your daughter. Don’t you care to know about how she's living and all when you clearly have the time to feed m y sister soup?"
Sera looked at the madam suspiciously. The kinder the other was to her, the weirder she had begun to feel.
The madam was more impatient than anyone on the day of her labor, though Sera filed that away as the madam having a heart of gold and caring deeply for everyone in general.
However, suspicion began to grow when Sera knew of the madam's lack of care for Josephine's life.
A look of embarrassment flashed through the madam's face before she reverted to being gentle and calm. "Thank you for worrying about Josephine, Miss Severe. However, from what I know, the reason Josephine is locked out of Tourmaline Estate by her father is due to careless friends."
Angeline chuckled lightly. "I’m sure you'd know better than I, Madam, if it is truly due to careless friends or if there’s a deeper reason behind.”
