Karen was just done with her prenatal check-up by the time I arrived at the hospital. She was stroking her slightly protruded belly lovingly, a prenatal check-up form in her hand.
I chuckled coldly before swiftly walking over. I then stood in front of her, quietly staring at her.
Karen was shocked when she looked up and saw me. Her expression faltered slightly before she looked down, unable to meet my gaze. “What are you doing here, Lucy?”
I forced a smile and said, “Weren’t you supposed to buy me bread, Karen? Why are you in the hospital now? William even scolded me because of you earlier.”
Karen fell silent for a bit. Upon having her lies exposed, she flew into rage out of embarrassment. “Where I go is none of your business! As my daughter-in-law, you shouldn’t be sticking your nose into my business!”
I couldn’t be bothered to start a fight with her. Instead, I stared at her coldly.
Karen grew more uncomfortable under my intense stare. Given her bad temper, it was no surprise when she raised her arm to hit me. I narrowed my eyes and quickly grabbed her arm before she could lay a hand on me.
