"Hmph! See for yourself what's in the photo, Serenity. You can't blame me for wanting to confirm Chessie's parentage. I’m sure that if you were in my position, you would have done the same,” Madam Shaw said as she looked coldly at Serenity.
Serenity locked on Madam Shaw’s icy stare with her own. Then, without saying anything, she picked up the glass of warm water beside her.
A delighted expression crossed Madam Shaw’s face.
'Even if she’s a Wright, she still has to apologize to me when she realizes she was on the wrong side.'
"Well, you don't have to do that," Madam Shaw said plainly. "Well, that's the way it is anyway. If you Wrights have some sense of shame, then I think..."
Before Madam Shaw could finish her sentence, Serenity poured the glass of warm water over her head. 1
Madam Shaw's smile froze as she was drenched all over. The move was so sudden that she could not react in time. It was only when she felt her wet hair plastered against her skin that she came back to her senses and shouted, "What the hell did you do that for, Serenity?"
"What did I do that for?" Serenity placed the empty cup on the desk beside her. She then covered Madam
Shaw with the blanket and began hitting her. "You f* eking conceited old woman! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are an elder? What’s wrong with this photo, huh? Can’t Susie have another man as a friend? Tell me, which part of the photo gives you the feeling that Susie has been having an illegitimate affair with the man?" 1
In the photo, Susan was just standing beside Wayne. There was no physical intimacy between them, yet Madam Shaw was convinced that Susan was having a n affair with the man.
"This is the first time I’ve come across a mother-in-law who always suspects her daughter-in-law is cheating on her own son. I wonder if it is because you were cheating on your husband when you were young. Is that why? Have you been judging others based on your own dirt? 1
"How dare you have an attitude in front of me?
"You lost your granddaughter, so how dare you act as i f you had nothing to do with it?”
Whenever Serenity said something, she would punch Madam Shaw once. For a long while, the ward was filled with shrieks and the sound of Serenity hitting Madam Shaw.
"Serenity, don’t you dare..." Madam Shaw screamed.
"Shut the f*ck up!" Serenity interrupted her and gave Madam Shaw another punch. The way she behaved made her look just like a hoodlum, 1
Everyone in the ward was stunned. All the doctors and nurses could only watch in awe as Serenity hit Madam Shaw again and again. It took them quite a long while to come back to their senses and go forward to pull Serenity away.
However, who was Serenity? She artfully pushed everyone away and dashed toward Madam Shaw, attempting to shower her with punches once more, i
Then, Susan's voice, which was bereft of any emotion, rang out. "Serenity."
"Susie." Serenity rolled up her sleeves. "How would you like this old woman to die? Do you want to steam her or braise her?" 1
Serenity pulled the blanket away to reveal Madam Shaw, who was in a sorry plight, underneath. 1
Madam Shaw had never been subjected to such humiliation before. She threw her head up and snarled angrily, "How dare you treat me like this, Serenity! You..."
Slap!
Serenity slapped Madam Shaw on the face. "I what?" 1
This was the first time Madam Shaw had come across an unreasonable person like Serenity. She was a little dazed and surprised, but at the same time, she felt that she was being treated unfairly.
She had thought they were going to fight verbally. She had not expected things to get physical at all.
'Why are all the Wrights so weird?'
Susan had to admit that she felt delighted upon seeing Madam Shaw's current state.
She still did not know Chesney's whereabouts and she had already done Madam Shaw a huge favor by not going forward and roughing her up as Serenity did.
