Alma suddenly looked hurt, "Is my fruit salad not appealing?"
All eyes turned to Arabella, seemingly clueless as to why she would reject Alma’s offering.
Arabella said indifferently, "My insulin, neuropeptide, and cholecystokinin levels are high right now, and
the fiber in the fruit will absorb electrolytes, trace elements, and organic acids. The bananas in the dish
contain tannins, which will bind with trace elements like iron and calcium, forming even harder
substances, overloading my pancreas."
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Nobody understood what she was talking about.
In simpler terms, she had eaten something before arriving and consuming fruit now would affect her
digestion and absorption.
That's it.
But nobody understood what she meant. Seeing her speaking confidently, everyone just nodded along.
Even Cornelia expressed concern, "Well, maybe you shouldn't eat then. Your health is important."
From Arabella's calm and indifferent eyes, Alma couldn't help but feel that Arabella was playing her, but
she couldn't prove it.
All she could do was serve the fruit salad to others.
After a while, Alma checked the time, "Why hasn't Serena returned yet? I'll go check on her."
"Alma always worrying about Serena.’ Cornelia chuckled.
"Isn't that the truth? They might squabble when they're together, but when they're apart, they can't stop
thinking about each other. That's sisterhood." Beverly laughed.
Outside the hospital room.
Serena had just finished bandaging her finger when she saw Alma coming her way.
She was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent. Seeing Alma's smug face, she marched over,
"Alma!"
Before she could finish, Alma suddenly grabbed her bandaged finger, "Serena, are you alright?
Grandma specifically asked me to look after you. Let me see how well your finger is bandaged."
"Ah." Serena pulled her hand away in anger, her brows furrowing in pain.
Before Serena could get away, Alma gave her wound a firm squeeze, worsening the pain.
A couple of nurses looked over, and Alma pretended to be concerned again, "Serena, did the nurse
upset you by not bandaging your finger properly? Come on, they're just trying to make a living. You
shouldn't be so demanding."
The nurses were touched. They thought Ms. Alma was so kind.
"Alma!" Serena gritted her teeth in anger.
"You should know that Grandma hates people who lack manners.
Even if you're right, causing a ruckus here will only embarrass the Collins family." Alma crossed her
arms and said leisurely, "Family troubles should not be publicly aired, got it?"
"You'll pay for this!" Serena was about to storm off.
But Alma stuck out her foot, causing Serena to stumble.
This time, Serena couldn't hold back anymore. She raised her hand in anger, but Alma quickly backed
off and raised her voice, "Serena, are you going to hit me just because I stood up for the nurse?"
"You're the one I'm going to hit!" Serena aimed a kick at Alma.
Alma backed away in fear, "Don't do this, people will see. This is a public place. Even if you don't care
about the Collins family's reputation, don't you value our sisterhood?"
