Afterward, he went back to the previous cab to assist ine, who was struggling with a broken leg, as she exited the vehicle.


    ine bore the pain in her leg as she finally got out of the car. Once again, she gritted her teeth against the agony as she climbed into the other cab with Charlie.


    Noticing that their cab had already begun to move, she rolled down the window and shouted angrily at the driver who was smoking by the roadside, “Bastard! You’re definitely going to have an ident and die out here today!”


    Hearing her outburst, the driver retorted, “You ugly hag! You’re the one who will end up dead in front of me!”


    Fuming with rage, ine felt the urge to stick her head out of the window and unleash more curses at the driver. However, as the cab sped away, her anger dissipated in frustration.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie, who had been silent throughout the ordeal, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. His mother-inw seemed to have endured a significant amount of hardship in the detention center; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so filled with fury at that moment.


    He also felt sympathy for his father-inw, Jacob. If ine found out that Jacob had been busy dating Matilda for thest two days, wouldn’t she be furious enough to explode?


    ***


    Eventually, the cab reached the emergency department of Sacred Heart Hospital in Aurous Hill.


    ire was already waiting for them.


    Upon seeing ine, ire immediately noticed not only the broken leg but also her mother’s disheveled appearance, which included a bruised nose, a swollen face, and missing front teeth. ire’s eyes filled with tears as she rushed forward, crying, “Mom, how did you get such serious injuries?”


    Seeing her daughter brought a wave of sadness over ine. All the grievances she had endured over the past two days came flooding back. She embraced ire tightly, crying out, “My dear daughter, do you have any idea how miserable my life has been? I almost died these past two days! You were so close to never seeing me again!”


    Overwhelmed by emotion, ine copsed into tears.


    ire, witnessing her mother’s suffering, felt a deep sense of difort. She supported ine as she cried, asking, “Mom, what happened to you during these two days? Please tell me!”


    ine wiped her tears, wanting to share everything with ire. However, as the words hovered on her lips, she swallowed them back, realizing that speaking freely could lead to dire consequences for herself.


    So, she chose to fabricate a story. “Sigh. Let’s not talk about it. I was tricked by an MLM scheme. After they lured me in, they beat me and forced me to invest more money in their products. But I had no money to give! They continued to assault me and even refused to feed me. They were the ones who knocked out my two front teeth.”


    ire quickly responded, “Mom, did you call the police? We need to have them arrested!”


    ine sobbed as she exined, “The police did discover the MLM group, but I was arrested, too. They locked me in a detention center where I had to deal with your grandmother and Wendy. Those two teamed up with other inmates to bully me!”


    ire gasped in shock, “Grandma and Wendy? How did you end up in the same cell as them?”


    ine cried until she was nearly breathless, saying, “I really don’t know how I ended up so unlucky to cross paths with those two. They deprived me of sleep, refused to let me eat, and even poured cold water on me. You have no idea what kind of hell I’ve been living in these past two days…”<fn82fa> Updates are released by findnovel</fn82fa>


    ire couldn’t hold back her tears upon hearing this.


    After venting for a while, ine felt a slight lift in her spirits. Suddenly, she remembered Jacob and turned to ire, asking, “Tell me the truth. Who is your father gathering with right now?”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
