The cab driver hurriedly drove toward the Silverwing Hospital.
Charlie who was sitting in the co-driver seat said to Elaine, "Mom, I have already called Claire. She is already rushing to the Silverwing Hospital now. We will get the doctor to check out your leg as soon as possible."
Elaine snorted bitterly before she turned her head around to look out of the window angrily. After that, she said enigmatically, "It is really unlucky for me to have a useless son-in-law like you who is always causing me all sorts of trouble!" 9
Charlie deliberately asked, "Mom, what do you mean b y your words? When did I cause you any trouble again?" 5
Elaine glared at him through the rearview mirror before she said coldly, "Don't ask me anything! Think for yourself! I will not say anything even if you ask m e!" 7
Elaine has already been warned by the police officers many times and she did not dare to lose her temper at Charlie directly. Therefore, she could only get angry at Charlie using this kind of obscure method.
Charlie naturally knew what his ridiculous mother-in-law was thinking about. Therefore, he deliberately
replied, "I am sorry mom but I really cannot think of what kind of trouble I could have possibly caused you." s
Elaine was so angry that she felt that her chest was about to explode. The words that she wanted to use to curse and scold Charlie reached her lips several times but she could only endure it as she kept it inside her heart. 6
In order not to think about her hatred and resentment for Charlie, Elaine decided to change the topic to talk about Jacob instead. At this time, she suddenly asked, “Who did your father-in-law go out to meet today?
When did he go out?"
Charlie replied, "He went out in the morning but I do not know who he is meeting up with because I did not ask him all the details." 5
Charlie knew very well that if his mother-in-law found out that his father-in-law had gone to the class reunion gathering with his first love and their old classmates, she would definitely be very angry and she might even want to smash and destroy this cab directly.
Therefore, he simply pretended to be stupid so that she could just ask the old man this question directly when the time comes. He did not want to wade in the muddy water between them. 8
Elaine was very angry and she started cursing, "Didn't they just had a class reunion not too long ago? Why are they having another gathering again so soon? It seems as though he is really enjoying life while I was locked up in the detention center for the past two days!" 9
After she was done speaking, Elaine immediately took out her cell phone to call Jacob.
