Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 958

"You can leave now. Don't talk nonsense here." The conversation between the three employees was cut short by a curt voice.

They immediately recognized Janet's voice and scrambled to greet her with a bow.

Janet walked forward, stopping right in front of them. "If you want to complain, feel free to do so at somewhere no one can hear you. You didn't even bother to lower your voice. Have you not considered the possibility that Lydia might hear you?"

The door to the ward was still open. Chances were Lydia heard every word loud and clear.

None of the employees had realized it until that moment. One of the three spoke up, looking contrite. "Forgive us, Mrs. Larson. Our behavior was unacceptable. We let our emotions get the better of us and spoke without thought. Should we go in and apologize?"

"It's fine. Just go back. I'll go in and talk to her." Janet had a feeling that things would only get worse if these people went back in. Lydia wouldn't show them mercy.

Visibly relieved, the three thanked Janet and hurriedly left.

Outside the door, Janet took a moment to compose herself. She tried her best to wear a friendly smile as she walked inside the ward.

All her mental preparation seemed to have been in vain. She was still seized with shock the moment she saw Lydia.

The woman looked much more haggard than Janet remembered from yesterday. Her messy hair was sticking to her scalp, and her face was red and swollen, with telltale streaks of tears drying on her cheeks. She must have cried her eyes out.
