Chloe retorted, "What's the point in being sorry? You only have your wife in your heart anyway. When I'm dissatisfied with her, you treat me as your foe and bear grudges against me. Giving birth to you was my

mistake."

Jay kept his silence and allowed Chloe to condemn him.

Judy complained to him, "Brother Jay, Aunt Chloe had a hard time when you weren't around. The Severes reprimanded her and the Areses had been nothing but harsh to her. Even Chief Yorks criticized Aunt Chloe about everything she did. Even if Aunt Chloe was wrong, she was only in the wrong because she loves you too much. That's just maternal instinct. Who'd want their son to marry a sickly wife?" Jay cast a sharp glare toward Judy.

Judy trembled with fright and quickly shut her mouth.

Chloe looked around for a while and did not see Angeline around. She then asked curiously, "Where's Angeline?"

Only now did Judy realize that Angeline had not returned.

Chloe and Judy were now viciously speculating. Could

it be? Was Angeline too sick to walk? Had Angeline kicked the bucket?

Judy was unable to restrain her joy. "Is Sis Angeline's illness unrecoverable?"

Jay felt as if someone had plucked out his nerves, causing him severe pain. He glared at Judy and gritted his teeth, saying, "She's doing just fine."

Chloe appeared somewhat unhappy. "If she's fine, then why didn't you bring her back to visit me?"

Jay replied, "It's unnecessary."

Chloe was feeling a little angry. "She's my daughter-in-law and I'm her mother-in-law. Shouldn't she at least come to see me when I'm sick?"

Jay said, "Mom, I came to see you because you gave birth to me. I'm obligated to visit you because I'm your son. But Angeline is my wife. If you had treated her well, she would've come to see you as a courtesy. Since you've been horrible to her, she has no obligations to be kind toward you. You must understand that she doesn't owe you anything."

Chloe was fuming. "What did you say? You're taking sides with the evildoer here! If you continue protecting her this way, you'll only encourage her to think less of me. Perhaps you think that the way she landed her hand on me was not a wrong act as well?"

Jay's eyes appeared darker and more profound now. Chloe abruptly came to her senses when she saw Jay's expression turning cold.

What was she doing? Was she still trying to win a fight against Angeline? This would only drive Jay away from her.

She could not afford to make such a mistake again.

She changed her tactics almost instantly. Chloe sighed before slowly saying, "Alright then. Mom knows that you like her, so I won't make things too difficult for her anymore. It's just that Mom is old now, Jay. Sometimes Mom feels lonely, and it's inevitable. I merely hope my child can come and visit me more often."

Jay eased up his cold, frozen expression and replied," I will."

Chloe suddenly thought of something else. Since Angeline had not returned with Jay, then Jay would be the one going back to her.

Chloe asked, "How long are you going to stay here this time?"

Jay replied truthfully, "I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow."

Chloe's eyes were filled with wounded consternation." The day after tomorrow?"

Then, she smiled bitterly. "Mom was just secretly rejoicing earlier that you still have some love for your mother since you came back to see me. I didn't expect you only to give me a single day of your life. Are you

truly that worried about her?"

Jay explained, "Angelina's condition hasn't completely stabilized. Sometimes she gets confused..."

Chloe endured the indignance in her heart and said, "I get it. You must be tired, go and get some rest."

At that, Jay left the ward.

Chloe clenched her hands into fists, and a cold light flashed through her eyes. She hissed viciously in her heart, 'Why haven't you dropped dead, Angelina Severe?'

After Jay left, Judy threw herself into Chloe's arms and said to her with tearful eyes, "Aunt Chloe, Angelina's fine and well. Brother Jay will never leave her in this lifetime. What do I do now?"

Chloe replied, "Don't worry about it. Didn't you see? Jay still came back when I got sick. That clearly shows that he still thinks of his mother, regardless of the situation."

Judy said, "But he's going back the day after tomorrow."

Chloe looked at Judy and said, "Then you should find a way to make him stay."

Judy asked, "How?"

Chloe said, "I have a method."

When Jay came out of the ward, Jenson had brought the Ghost members over and they were waiting for him outside.

When he saw Jenson, Jay smiled lightly and stretched his arms out wide.
