A few rich ladies followed behind Samantha into the ward.
One of them had a fox fur coat on with a necklace and many rings.
Darryl was amused.
'Haha, she's wearing fox fur right after the MidAutumn Festival. She does look loaded with it but isn't it hot and stuffy?'
Samantha trotted over and asked in a worried tone," Lilybud, how are you feeling?”
She spent the whole night playing mahjong and she was only told about her daughter this morning.
The ladies who came with her were clearly her mahjong buddies.
Lily shook her head and answered weakly, "Mom, I'm fine. Don’t worry.”
Samantha heaved a sigh of relief before turning to Darryl, her anger visible in her eyes, "You piece of trash! Lilybud has always been a good person and yet this happened when she was together with you! You were right beside her but you allowed this to happen? Are you a man? Tell me, is she hurt because of you?!”
Darryl smiled bitterly and replied, "Mother, I apologize, it is my fault. I did not take good care of her.”
What happened was because of his negligence no matter how he looked at it. 2
Samantha became even more furious and yelled while pointing to Darryl's nose, "Do not call me mother! You don't deserve Lily! You're a jinx that always brings bad luck to everyone around you. I don't care what happened and you don't need to explain, I want you to get a divorce right after Lily gets discharged." 1
Lily could no longer stay out of it. She got nervous and voiced, "Mom, stop it. It isn't his fault..."
She eyed Darryl as she talked so that he would leave the room to avoid her mother.
Darryl got the hint and said, "I'll go and get some fruits.”
He left the room as quickly as possible.
Lily asked angrily right after Darryl left, "Mom, were you playing mahjong again? What did you promise m e?”
Lily recognized the ladies behind her mother as her mahjong buddies.
She remembered the lady in the fox fur the most, her name was Sophie Thompson. Her husband was loaded and owned a seafood business.
Samantha sighed, "My dear, I didn’t play mahjong as I promised. I was just having some tea and a chitchat session with these ladies.”
