I sneered and talked back. “Nancy has taken care of me for over a decade. She’s my family. Hitting her is hitting me!”
Rebecca was stunned for a few seconds before bursting into tears and calling for help.
Unexpectedly, before Sebastian arrived, my father-in-law and brother-in-law rushed into the emergency room.
As soon as my father-in-law saw Rebecca crying on the ground, he pointed at me and cursed, “This is outrageous! How dare you hit your mother-in-law?! My wife has a miserable life! She’s been a slave to you, taking care of you after the confinement period and raising our grandchildren and she’s become so sick from exhaustion! Now that she’s used up, you’re hitting her? Is there any justice in the world?”
Rebecca also cried out, “Honey, she’s trying to drive me to death…”
The area was surrounded by the patients’ family members, who were watching the scene.
“She looks pretty, but how could she be so vicious?”
“That’s right, if a mother-in-law is crying like that, she must have been wronged so badly!”
“A daughter-in-law like that will get her comeuppance sooner or later!”
