"Dad, are you alright? What did Charles do to you?"
Laura rushed to George’s bedside, supporting him, then shot me a cold glare.
"Charles, what exactly are you trying to do? My dad’s health is already weak, and you’re still trying to upset him?"
"Do you think that just because my sister isn’t home, no one can keep you in line?"
I leaned back in my chair, scrolling on my phone, my expression unmoved.
"I’m not upsetting him. I’m simply stating the truth."
"The truth?" Laura grew even angrier. "My sister clearly joined a confidential project to serve the country!"
"And you, instead of supporting her, aren’t even properly caring for my dad. What are you thinking?"
She spoke while patting George’s back, murmuring softly.
"Dad, don’t be upset. My brother-in-law must be exhausted from caring for you lately, and he’s talking nonsense because he’s confused. When he snaps out of it, he’ll apologize!"
George, panting hard, pointed at my nose and cursed.
"Exactly! Charles, you’d better apologize right now! Otherwise, when Anna returns, I’ll have her skin you alive!"
Watching this father and daughter echo each other made my stomach churn.
