Yolanda Greenwood was determined to show the DNA test reports to Jaxon Greenwood and reveal all the truths.
Ten minutes later, she ca out of the hospital elevator, just in ti to see lissa Greenwood.
"Why are you here again?" lissa said with impatience, "Hurry back, you’re not welco here."
Unable to contain her anger and considering lissa’s actions all along, Yolanda stepped forward and slapped lissa across the face.
"You’ve known all along, haven’t you?" she asked coldly.
lissa clutched her face, looking at Yolanda in disbelief. "Are you crazy? Known what exactly?"
Yolanda unfolded the report, making sure lissa could see it clearly.
As lissa saw the large characters at the end of the report, her face turned pale instantly.
"What’s the aning of this?" she was in total panic, "You did another DNA test?"
Yolanda imdiately picked up on the flaw, "So, you tampered with the previous test report between Eliana Reed and ?"
lissa didn’t speak; her mind raced.
She couldn’t let this matter leak; otherwise, it would surely affect her wedding with Cooper Coldson.
Her voice trembling, she asked, "What do you want?"
"I’m going to show this report to the family patriarch. I want everyone to see the truth, to see the disgusting faces of you and Eliana Reed."
Yolanda said this and walked past lissa, heading straight for the patient room.
"Stop right there!" lissa imdiately blocked her, "My dad isn’t here."
"Then I’ll wait, until he cos back." Nonetheless, Yolanda was determined to expose the truth today, no matter what.
Watching Yolanda’s resolute figure, lissa suddenly spoke again, "My mom woke up."
Yolanda turned around, looking at lissa in surprise. "Really?"
"Yes." lissa nodded, "Just now, the doctors said she can’t endure any more stress, or she might not survive."
Yolanda’s grip tightened on the report in her hand.
Seeing that Yolanda was finally scared, lissa silently breathed a sigh of relief, "Honestly, it doesn’t affect . I’m marrying Cooper anyway. Compared to the Coldson Family, what significance does the Greenwood Family hold?"
She sneered with triumph, "You can now go and tell Gemma Morgan, maybe even taking her life. Do you think, after Jaxon cos back, he will acknowledge you? Will he forgive you?"
"lissa Greenwood!" Yolanda couldn’t tell if the person before her was human or a devil.
"Are you still going?" lissa gestured invitingly, "Either go ahead or get lost, Jaxon will be back soon."
"Of course," she added, "If you dare show this report to Jaxon in secret, I assure you Gemma Morgan will also find out soon."
"You!" Yolanda was fuming with rage, but she had no choice; she dared not gamble with Gemma Morgan’s life.
As she watched lissa about to leave, she said quickly, "I can keep the truth to myself, but you can’t harm the Eldest Aunt anymore, or I will have no more concerns."
"Don’t worry, she’s awake," lissa said without looking back, "There’s nothing I can do anymore."
As lissa reached the door of the patient room, she turned to see Yolanda dejectedly walking away.
"What an idiot!" she muttered to herself and then entered the patient room.
Gemma Morgan had indeed regained consciousness. When she saw lissa enter, she imdiately turned her head away.
lissa Greenwood didn’t care much, taking a few steps forward and sitting on the bed, "It seems like Mom wants to break up this family."
Gemma Morgan turned around and glared angrily at her.
"Mom, you know how Dad’s temperant is; in his eyes, I’m no different from soone picked up from the streets." lissa casually picked up a banana and started to peel it, "If you said sothing to him that you shouldn’t have, I think our family will fall apart, and you can consider that you don’t have a daughter like ."
Gemma’s face slowly turned pale, "lissa, how could you beco like this?"
"It’s all because you forced !" lissa shouted, "I am your daughter, but what have you ever done for ? You only have eyes for Yolanda, Dad only has eyes for you, and all I want now is to marry Cooper. Don’t worry, once I marry Cooper, I won’t bother you again, nor will I disturb Yolanda."
Gemma covered her chest in pain, "lissa, are you being fair to your father with these words?"
"When you had a high fever as a child, in the middle of the night around two or three o’clock, we dared not give you dicine, and your dad just kept watch over you, scared to close his eyes all night."
"You love sweets, and your dad, critical of the store-bought ones, learned to make them himself, just to cook them for you."
"When you and Cooper had that incident, your dad even gave up his company to seek justice for you at the Coldson Family... How can you say he doesn’t love you with all these things he’s done?"
"What’s all that worth?" lissa sneered coldly, "Doesn’t every parent do this? It’s what you’re supposed to do."
Gemma slowly closed her eyes, knowing that whatever she said was useless now.
Her tears silently fell as she gave a bitter smile, "All these years, thank you for being the obedient daughter."
At that mont, she understood that it wasn’t her lissa who had changed, but rather, she had never really understood her daughter.
There was noise from outside; clearly, Jaxon Greenwood had returned.
lissa handed over the peeled banana, looking coldly at Gemma.
When Jaxon entered, he saw that Gemma had awakened, "Wife, you’re awake?"
"En," Gemma responded, taking the banana from lissa’s hand and said with concealed heartache, "lissa, go see what your dad has brought back that’s delicious."
"Ah, a few days ago, lissa ntioned wanting to drink the porridge from Dewy Fern Hall, so I made the trip."
Jaxon joyfully said to lissa, "Go eat, I’ll talk with your mom."
"Okay, thanks, Dad." lissa took the porridge and glanced back at Gemma, "Mom, you two talk; I’ll go eat."
Gemma’s tears couldn’t stop again, knowing the trip to and from Dewy Fern Hall to the hospital took an hour and a half.
She tenderly touched Jaxon’s face, noticing he had lost weight, "Have you eaten?"
"I grabbed a bite in the car." Seeing Gemma crying, Jaxon beca imnsely pained, "Why are you crying? Are you not happy to see ?"
"Happy, I’m just too happy," Gemma said with a smile.
Jaxon stood up, gently wiping away Gemma’s tears, "I’m sorry, wife, I was indeed out for a bit too long this ti, I promise it won’t happen again."
In fact, when he left, Gemma wasn’t having any serious issues, and he thought she would surely be waiting for him at ho when he returned.
The worst part was when he called ho; Gemma always lied to him, saying she had been discharged long ago.
It was only the day before he returned that Jaxon learned Gemma was still in the hospital; he was struck with imnse guilt.
"Old Greenwood," Gemma gently held Jaxon’s hand, "Don’t work so hard in the future. Our daughter is getting married; we don’t need that much money. We also can’t spend much; can’t you spend more ti with ?"
"Of course, definitely." Jaxon laughed sillily, "This business deal will prepare a sizable dowry for our lissa."
Gemma felt an even deeper bitterness but dared not show it, repeatedly praising her husband’s abilities.
