Lady Wilson felt as if the world was spinning around her after Jennifer slapped her.
Never did she expect that Jennifer did not make a move against her, despite all those insulting slanders being thrown at her earlier. 6
Yet when she showed the white feather, she rubbed Jennifer the wrong way.
Although Jennifer was a crude person, she was indeed a filial daughter.
When she heard about her mother attempted suicide b y drinking pesticide, after being forced by her sister-in -law, she quickly rushed home from her in-laws.
At that time, her mother was already terminally ill and was beyond cure. 2
At the hospital, Jennifer's mother told her in her weak voice that she wanted to go home because it was uncomfortable to stay there.
Jennifer knew that her mother knew she was dying, s 0 she wanted to help her family save some money by discontinuing the unnecessary treatments in the hospital.
She wanted to take her mother back to her in-laws’ place to show filial respect for her in the remaining days and let her rest in peace.
However, her in-laws strongly objected, especially her mother-in-law who condemned her on the phone, saying that if she ever dared to bring her mother back to their place, then she would never be able to enter the house. 2
Her brother, who was afraid of his wife, was reluctant as well to let her mother go back because he was afraid that it would bring bad luck if she passed away i n his house.
At her wits' end, she could only take her mother back t 0 their old house which had long since been abandoned.
In the dilapidated house, Jennifer did her best to wipe her mother with warm water, put on clean clothes, and made her a bowl of noodles with eggs. 2
