Chapter 760 Monica's Request

The pain failed to recede. Monica rubbed her chest hard. Audrey's face looked serious, and the mask she wore did little to detract attention from her eyes and eyebrows' beauty. She said in a kind voice, "Don't do that, madam. It will only make things worse. You'll be fine in a little while. The medicine we injected you with will take effect in about ten minutes."

Monica's head was covered with sweat. She took a deep breath to steady herself as she placed her hands by the bed and looked at Audrey with trembling eyes.

A nurse was cleaning the equipment nearby. Audrey smiled at Monica. "Don't worry, madam. The heart disease is not that severe, but please, try not to get too worked up in future. You should keep things light."

Still feeling a little weak, Monica stammered, "When we step out, can you…can you describe my condition to my son as though it's more serious?"

The doctor frowned. "Why? Do you want your son to worry about you?"

"To some extent, yes. My son has always been obedient. But ever since he started dating this girlfriend of his a few months back, he's begun to disobey me. He's been annoying me repeatedly of late." Monica stared at Audrey's eyes. She didn't know why, but she had a gut feeling that this doctor would help her.

"Aunt Monica, how are you feeling now? Are you comfortable?"

"I'm fine. I'm fine. I won't die yet. Someone may be disappointed if I do." With her voice full of resentment, Monica glared at Fiona through hate-filled eyes.

Fiona clenched her fists and thought, 'I am such a fool! Why did I come inside? Why am I asking for trouble? I'm giving Monica the chance to mock me, aren't I?'

"Aunt Monica, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" Shyla asked after looking at her wristwatch. She realized that it was time for dinner.

With a satisfied smile plastered on her face, Monica took Shyla's hand fondly. "Yes, I'm a little hungry. I'd like to eat some porridge."

"Then I'll go buy you some," Shyla volunteered. Her victorious smile was as bright as the warm summer sunshine.

"Okay," Monica answered. It just so happened that she had something to say to Fiona.

Once Shyla left, Fiona felt like an outsider. She mocked herself, 'Why am I still here? Ethon hasn't come back yet, but it'll look awkward if I leave now. As his girlfriend, it is my responsibility to take care of his mother.'
