Rosa, no longer the friendly woman who visited her company, was now dressed in black. She propped
up one leg on a chair beside the bed amid a pile of shattered objects at her feet.
The people around her feared her, forming a circle two meters away.
Rosa didn’t care and pushed her sleeves to her shoulders. She placed her hands on her hips as if
ready to confront anyone who dared to approach.
It was laughable. Aurelia’s mother had been in critical condition for nearly a month from the onset of
her illness, and this was the first time Rosa had come to visit. She didn’t expect it to be such a scene.
Thinking of her mother, Aurelia anxiously glanced at the hospital bed.
Fortunately, Sophia was guarding her; her mother still lay peacefully on the hospital bed, and the vital
signs on the machine were relatively stable.
Once Aurelia relaxed, her anger intensified. She quickly walked up to Rosa.
“What are you trying to do?” Aurelia asked.
“Oh! You finally decided to come,” Rosa yelled at the people around her. “You folks can be the judges
here. My son approached her for reconciliation in a friendly manner.
“Instead of agreeing, she not only declined but also reported him to the police. Now my son is behind
bars, and she’s sleeping peacefully at home!”
The family members in the same ward looked at Aurelia with some surprise, as if they had never
expected this from her.
Aurelia took a deep breath and reminded herself that this was a hospital ward and, even more so, an
intensive care unit. She couldn’t afford to argue here.
She softened her voice and said, “Mrs. Martinez, your son and I aren’t married anymore. We’ve
actually split up. I haven’t even pressed charges against you for pretending to be my mother–in–law.
“Furthermore, your son is in custody due to his harassment towards me and for using a counterfeit
watch to deceive people.”
The people around them gasped at Rosa’s antics and looked at her with mockery.
Seeing that no one was helping her, Rosa simply started causing a scene. She grabbed a chair and
threatened Aurelia’s mother, who was lying on the hospital bed.
“Aurelia! If you don’t go to the police station to reconcile with Seth, I’ll take you and your mother down
with me!”
Seeing this, Aurelia was trembling with anger. Why couldn’t they just let her end this relationship
gracefully? Why can’t they just let her be?
The people around them were alarmed. Even the security guards began searching for a way to defuse
the situation.
However, the room was small, and all the patients were in critical condition. Any mishap could

affect the entire hospital.
One of the security guards looked at Aurelia and whispered, “Miss, calm her down. Your mother might
not survive that blow.”
Aurelia clenched her fists, her teeth grinding audibly. She was filled with hatred, but she felt helpless at
the same time. Her mother’s surgery was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and she couldn’t afford
to let anything happen to her.
“I’ll reconcile! Is that enough? Put the chair down, and we can talk outside.”
With a loud crash, Rosa crudely smashed the chair against the bedside. She clapped her hands as if
nothing had happened.
“Thanks a lot! This method really worked.”
“What do you mean?” Aurelia sensed that something was amiss. It seemed like someone was
coaching Rosa.
Rosa slyly shifted her gaze and started fiddling with her dress, changing the subject.
“Aurelia, why even bother? My son chose you, a woman with baggage, and you should consider
yourself lucky. You’re fortunate, but you don’t seem to appreciate it. You have to be stubborn and
confrontational with us! Well, I have nothing to lose!
“If anything happens to my son, your mother won’t have an easy time either!”
Rosa’s words had stirred up the anger of the people around them. However, facing such a thug -like
person, most could only resign themselves to their misfortune and avoid confronting her.
Aurelia’s face was cold as she asked, “Are we going to talk?”
Rosa finally stopped her commotion and walked out.
Once Rosa left, Aurelia anxiously approached her mother’s bed, and the nurse called for the on -duty
doctor. Thanks to the protection Sophia provided, her mother was not harmed.
However, she had a small cut on her rough hand.
Aurelia quickly reached into her bag and handed two hundred to Sophia.
“Mrs. Martinez, please let the nurse disinfect your
puno
“Alright, I’m fine. You should go. I’ll stay here with your mother,” Sophia said as she accepted the
money.
“Thank you.”
Aurelia gratefully glanced at her and then left the ward.
