Chapter 363 - Meeting The In-laws [3]

"Excuse me! Are you seriously expecting me to mingle with that family of peasants? Over my dead body! Can't you see that they are low and the whole family is uneducated? I can't believe my son married such a person." She crossed her arms and growled.

Hearing all those horrible words that Naomi had said about the Gusman family, and Ruffy was ready to defend them. 

Naomi had no idea that the couple was behind them and butler Ruffy, who had an evil look on his face because of what he heard. "She's still the same as before. I had thought that she would at least change a little after so many years. Boy, I was wrong..." Mumbles Ruffy, who stepped back a little.

When Fely was about to speak, Jessie quickly stopped her and jerked her to the car's other side. "Let it go; nothing will happen if you lower your level to that person. I can't believe she is Tanaga's mother and chairwoman Hanada's daughter. She has a horrible temper." Jessie whispered to his wife's ear as he helped her to enter the vehicle.

"I can't believe I'm somewhat related to her. She has no ounce of compassion in her entire body." Fely muttered as she got into the car. This was an exception, but if it was a different scenario, she would never allow her family to be insulted and was ready to fight to her death.

"Hmph, she's lucky that she's our youngest mother-in-law, if not... I swear, I will eat her alive. She thinks she's high and mighty just because they have money. Ha!" Fely snarled as she got into the car. 

When Arnold and Arnel heard their mother's word, they couldn't help themselves and speak. 

"Mom, your heart... Be careful, and you don't want to be the next one to be in the hospital, don't you?" Said Arnold, while doing his best to console his mother's hurt feelings.

"Yea, don't let her get to you, mom. You're much better than her who faked her death and has guts to show up now when her mother's in death bed." Followed by Arnel, who was intently looking at Tanaka from inside the car.

Naomi's mouth continued whining, and no matter how hard Tanaka tried to stop her, there was nothing he could do. It's a good thing that Ruffy had decided to intervene. He knew that if he let them continue, who knows when it will end, and need to get to the hospital already. He wanted to leave so that they could follow the ambulance to the hospital.

"Excuse me, sir Jones, madam Hanada ... If you don't want to ride with us, do you want me to call you Uber or Taxi before we leave," and muttered something that Naomi and Tanaka didn't hear. "If you do not want to ride with us, you could always walk." As he waited for an answer.

"No, no, you don't have to, we are going with you if you don't mind, of course," Tanaka said as he held his mother's arm and pulled her into the car. 

But once Naomi saw what the car looked like from the inside, she was furious. "There's no way I'm going in there! Get me another car!" Naomi shouted, causing Tanaka to turn red from embarrassment.

Ruffy spoke. "Sir, ma'am...I guess you'd better wait first, wait a minute, and I'll get you a limousine." Ruffy quickly got a limousine for the two, which didn't take long, and that's when they all left for the hospital.

Meanwhile, as soon as the ambulance arrived at Orlando Memorial Hospital, multiple tests were done onTanaga. Ashley has no choice but to go to the waiting room where Harumi was.

She decided to take the opportunity to find out more from Harumi about her mother-in-law. Harumi didn't hesitate and told Ashley everything she knew.

Ashley was busy talking to Harumi and listening seriously. She wanted to be ready for whatever might come next. The short period that they encountered each other at the tarmac of the airport... It left a bad taste in her mouth. She must have a healthy heart and power to deal with this woman about to arrive any minute.

Speaking of the devil, the door to the waiting room opened, and here it comes. The queen of evil arrives with her head high and nose stuck up in the air.

Ashley and Harumi looked at each other when the door opened, and one of the group entered. Naomi went first while Tanaka followed. When the two saw this, they temporarily stopped talking.

Ashley quickly got up and went straight to greet her parents, ignoring her mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

"Mom, Dad ...Older brother. Thank God, you all have arrived. Tanaga was brought to be put for examination. Grandma Hanada is still stable; God forbid." Ashley said to her parents and siblings.

"Is that so. In that case, It would be better if we go back to the resort first so we could get a little rest. This old body of mine could only handle so much a day. 

"Also, your mother is tired and needs to get her beauty rest before she turns into a monster and starts biting someone's head off. Just call us when there is news. Okay!" Said Jessie while caressing Ashley's hair like a little child.

"Yes, I'm tired, and my head hurts too. So, we'll go ahead of you." Fely said before she approached Ashley and gave her a tight embrace. 

"Never let your mother-in-law insult your intelligence. You're a Gusman, and we have nothing to be ashamed of. Remember that! " Fely instructed while shooting a dagger at Naomi.

Since there were so many of them, Ashley happily agreed to let them leave and go back to the resort first and wait for the news. Fely, Arnold, and Arnel did not hesitate because they also did not want to be around Naomi. 

Tiny was quick to volunteer to take the Gusman family to the resort. Before promising to return as soon as possible. He also didn't want to be around the snotty Naomi.

As soon as the Gusman family and Tiny left, the atmosphere of the room became eerie quiet. It was almost as if they were in a funeral parlor, for everyone's face was somber.

Naomi sat on the far end of the sofa and did not even notice Harumi and Ashley standing up and paying their respects. At the same time, Tanaka watched them before introducing himself to Harumi. 

"I am pretty sure you already know who I am. I am Tanaka, Tanaga's twin. How are you, Ms. Harumi." Tanaka greeted her politely and earnestly. 

Harumi bowed and paid her respects back to Tanaka. "Hello, Mr. Jones. Thank you very much, as for your grandmother, I am sure your grandmother will be happy to see you. You can sit down while you wait." Harumi invited him to sit down while waiting. 

Tanaka replied, "Please, no need for the formalities, call me Tanaka," and instead of sitting down, he decided to chat with Ashley.

Ashley was surprised by Tanaka's actions. She didn't answer and was speechless. Until today, she had no idea Tanaga's twin was even alive. Ashley looked at butler Ruffy as her eyes pleaded for advice. Instead of answering, he just nodded slightly as an answer. 

"Sure, that's all I have right now. Nothing but time until I hear from the doctor. Where do you want us to talk?" Ashley asked as she got up and prepared to leave.

Naomi was going to say something, but Tanaga gave her a look that could kill. She shut her mouth and acted that she doesn't care.

"Should we go for a quick tour of the hospital and we can chat along the way." Tanaka offered as he began strolling towards the threshold of the door.

When Tanaka and Ashley came out to talk away from Naomi, Butler Ruffy decided to go down to the cafeteria to buy a drink. Therefore, the only ones left in the room were Harumi and Naomi.

As soon as Tanaka, Ashley, and Ruffy left, Naomi spoke haughtily to Harumi." Get up and take me to the ICU. I want to see my good mother, dear, that's about to go under." She then got up without waiting for Harumi's reply and walked out the door.

"^...^" Harumi as she got up and followed the witch.

Meanwhile, in the ICU where grandma Hanada was taken, and her condition was being monitored, there was a sudden commotion because the machines attached to it started making a sudden noise.
