Chapter 307 Feeling Exasperated at Christopher’s Failure

Before Angela had a chance to respond to Fanny, Joseph approached from behind and uttered to Fanny, “Fanny, please don’t speak out of turn. Dad asked her to come and check on Mom.”

Upon hearing that, Fanny pursed her lips, looking visibly unhappy. However, she remained silent.

As for Evie, she looked at Angela curiously and felt slightly worried.

“Go in and take a look. Angela, if possible, update me on Mom’s current situation.” Joseph sighed and added.

Angela walked into the ward. She didn’t spare a glance at Fanny and Evie and headed straight to the bedside.

“Based on her current state, she should be able more frequently and observe her reactions.”

to hear people talking now. Engage with her

As soon as these words escaped her lips, Fanny widened her eyes and glanced at Evie.

Evie discreetly took a step back and chose not to speak.

Meanwhile, Joseph carefully noted Angela’s advice. “Is there really nothing you can do?” he asked.

“I’m not a miracle worker,” Angela replied while looking at Joseph. Then, she asked in bemusement, “Or do you think I am?”

Joseph didn’t want to continue the conversation, but Fanny immediately interjected, “What are you implying? Are you trying to make things difficult for Joseph? If you’re not willing to genuinely help Mom, so be it. Why must you mock Joseph like this?”

“Be quiet.” Angela glanced at her casually before walking out.

This time, Joseph didn’t chase after her. Instead, he gazed at Scarlet lying on the sickbed, leaned in, and asked, “Mom, can you hear me? Can you react in any way? Like moving your

fingers?”

He figured since George wanted nothing more than Scarlet’s acknowledgment or denial as a victim, she could testify for George if she could move her fingers, even in her unconscious

state.

To his disappointment, Scarlet showed no reaction.

“Joseph, it’s no use. I’ve been talking to Mom for days. She hasn’t responded at all.”

Glancing at Fanny, Joseph expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, Fanny. Don’t forget to pay attention to any reactions Mom might have when you talk to her from now on. You must inform me if she reacts.”

Even though Fanny was confused, she still nodded obediently.

After Joseph left, Evie asked Fanny, “Miss Fanny, who was that woman just now? Why was Joseph so polite to her? Can she really tell if something was off simply through the brief check–up?”

Evie was concerned that Angela might reveal the incident whereby she had let Scarlet’s blood flow into the needle after she finished giving her the IV drip due to her leafing on her job. For that reason, she

subtly inquired Fanny about Angela’s identity.

Fanny, who naturally had a negative opinion of Angela, elaborated with disgust, “She’s not nice. Joseph was only being polite to her in the hopes that she could wake Mom up, but she’s all talk and has no real effort to help Mom.”

Unbeknownst to the two, Scarlet’s fingers twitched as Fanny spoke.

“I see. Miss Fanny, why don’t you go home and rest? I’ll stay here and monitor the situation,” Evie suggested with a smile.

If truth be told, Fanny didn’t want to stay any longer either. After all, the doctors had already mentioned that Scarlet had a ninety percent chance of not waking up. Therefore, she now had lost hope for Scarlet’s recovery and focused more on pleasing Christopher and her brothers.

Once Fanny left, Evie sat on the hospital bed, took out a bag of nuts, and started enjoying them while watching funny videos.

Taking care of a patient in a vegetative state sure is easy, especially when their family doesn’t visit frequently.

Meanwhile, in the Sanders Residence, Christopher knelt before Michael. Although his face. was expressionless, Christopher’s clenched jaw revealed his defiance.

“You dare to show me that look?! Do you realize you nearly jeopardized our collaboration with the Martinez Family?” Michael pointed at Christopher and scolded, “Why must you offend Sophia and even dare to make her angry?”

“It was her fault. I merely asked her to apologize,” Christopher retorted.

“Why do you keep bringing the apology up?!” Michael slammed the table and continued, “Did Fanny put a spell on you? Are you aware of the gap between Sophia’s social status and Fanny’s? How could Sophia possibly apologize to Fanny?”

In Michael’s eyes, the two were completely incomparable.

However, Christopher stubbornly replied, “I was just discussing the solution with her. How the hell was I supposed to know she would get angry?”

Because Sophia returned to the Martinez Residence and blubbered her complaints to her parents, Michael decided to teach Christopher a lesson.

Both families were already in the midst of discussing the engagement arrangements. But now, with Sophia’s complaints, the whole situation came to a standstill..

Because of this, Michael was beyond annoyed. He simply couldn’t understand why Christopher was still secretly contacting Fanny.

“Didn’t I tell you not to contact Fanny anymore? Why are you still helping her regarding her mom’s condition?” Michael clearly remembered that Christopher had promised him before that he would no longer contact Fanny once they helped her with that matter.

Christopher stood his ground and said, “I made a promise to Fanny before. I can’t go back on my word.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Shall I applaud you for being such a promise keeper then? Now, you’ve made me break our promises to the Martinez Family! Tell me, how do you plan to resolve this? Are you going to apologize to the Martinez Family in person? Or do you expect me to go with you and make a fool out of myself?”

Michael had always felt exasperated at Christopher’s failure to meet his expectations. The son I had with the woman I love never measured up to Jonathan, the son I had from my arranged marriage.

The realization of this fact made him feel as though he was choking on food, causing him great discomfort and restlessness.

“I will apologize, but you must not make things difficult for Fanny.”

“How dare you still negotiate with me! You’re simply-”

Michael raised his hand, wanting to discipline his troublesome son. But before he could proceed, a soft voice interrupted.

Teresa stood by the door and said, “Stop hitting our son, Michael…”

Clearly, she had been listening for a while but had stayed out of sight. She looked timid and cautions as she glanced at Michael

Taking a deep breath. Michael told Christopher to leave.

Christopher glances in Teresa’s direction before walking away.

Teresa walked up to Michael, gently patted him on the chest, and comforted, “Don’t be mad at Christopher. It’s not his fault. It’s mainly Sophia who went too far with her actions. Didn’t Christopher mention that Sophia secretly took his phone to block his friend?”

Michael managed to calm down slightly by Teresa’s soothing gestures. However, he didn’t argue when he heard her words. Instead, he merely said flatly. “It’s not just any friends. She blocked Fanny

“It’s not about who she blocked. It’s about her not respecting our son at all,” Teresa said as she leaned against Michael. “Our son has yet to marry her, but she’s already gone this far. I fear our son will have a rough future ahead if he has to apologize for this,” she lamented softly.
