Vera Xavier glanced at them, her voice laced with grievance. "Mom, what are you trying to do, bringing so many people to the hospital today?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Rona Langdon was, of course, here to bully her!

Rona Langdon took a deep breath and said coldly, "Vera Xavier, I gave birth to you. Don’t you dare act so insolent in front of me. Get out of my way. I want to see your father!"

Vera Xavier had already seen the divorce papers in Rona Langdon’s hand. In a low voice, she said, "You dared to hit Grandma yesterday, so how can I know you won’t hit my dad? I can’t let you in. If you’re here to divorce Dad, then you’ll have to let me see the divorce papers first. I’ll only let him sign them if they’re acceptable. After all, besides refusing to use any money for Dad’s treatment, you’re also trying to take his house. You’re trying to push him to his death!"

Of course, Rona Langdon wasn’t going to show the divorce papers to Vera Xavier. Her version of the agreement clearly stated that the house and all other assets would go to her, while Zachary Preston would leave with nothing.

Patricia Thompson wailed for a bit but found that Vera Xavier was completely ignoring her. People from other hospital rooms were craning their necks to see what was happening, but because Vera had a knife and Rona’s group looked so aggressive, no one came over to gawk, and no one came to help her up.

Realizing her wailing was getting her nowhere, she found it pointless and just stood up. Pointing at Vera Xavier’s face, she cursed, "What do you mean, pushing your dad to his death? It’s your dad who’s pushing your mom to her death! They’re getting divorced, and he knows your mom has nowhere to live, yet he won’t give her the house? That’s utterly monstrous!"

Vera Xavier remained calm and composed as she reasoned with her, "My dad has had a cerebral hemorrhage and is lying in bed, unable to move. My mom lent the 10,000 yuan from their savings to Jason Langdon to build a house instead of paying for my dad’s treatment. Now she wants to divorce my dad and take his only house. So who is the one that’s truly monstrous?"

Hearing this, the surrounding patients and their families understood everything. All these people ganging up on a young girl—no wonder she was holding a knife. If she didn’t have one, they probably would have already bullied her relentlessly!

In their hearts, they all felt a surge of sympathy for Vera Xavier.

Patricia Thompson grabbed Rona Langdon and said, "When did you lend money to Jason?"

Jason Langdon also asked Rona Langdon, "Sis, when did you lend me 10,000 yuan?"

Rona Langdon’s expression faltered. She said in a low voice, "We’ll talk about this after we get home."

Patricia Thompson immediately said, "When we get home, I’ll hold on to that 10,000 yuan for you!"

Rona Langdon’s face turned ugly. Jason Langdon added, "Sis, we’re sticking up for you like this. You have to give me half of that 10,000!"

Rona Langdon’s two older sisters and brothers-in-law also chimed in, "And what about us! You can’t play favorites!"

Rona Langdon was furious. ’Vera Xavier is truly despicable,’ she thought. ’How dare she reveal that!’

Seething with anger, she gave a few perfunctory replies to her family, then turned her head and shouted at Vera Xavier, "Your dad and I are getting divorced! It’s not like he’ll be homeless. He can go back to the countryside and live with the old man and old woman. But my family has no room for me! Anyway, no matter what you say, that house is mine!"

Vera Xavier asked her, "Mom, you and Dad were married for over twenty years. Even if there’s no love left, there should be some affection. Are you really going to be this heartless?"

Rona Langdon roared, "I should show him consideration? Who’s showing me any consideration? All these years, I bore him children, ran the household, and worked myself to the bone! I deserve that house!"
