"I'm telling you the truth—nobody was electrocuted. My son is inside. She's just making a scene so the whole neighborhood can laugh at us!"
I had no choice but to make one last desperate attempt.
"If Dick wasn't electrocuted, then why hasn't he said a single word?"
"There are only three people in this house. I'm fine. If Dick wasn't the one who got shocked, then it was Lily—his own daughter. How could he possibly stay silent through that?"
The words landed, and Kate visibly froze for a moment.
But her mind worked fast.
She was certain it couldn't be Dick who'd been electrocuted.
So she fired back immediately.
"Dick not speaking is perfectly normal. He's my son and your husband—he's caught in the middle. Of course he'd choose to stay quiet."
"This villa was just renovated. How could there possibly be a faulty wire? And if my son really was electrocuted, do you honestly think I wouldn't save him?"
"She just doesn't want to live here. She looks down on us because we're from the countryside. She wants to go back to the city, so she's making her daughter fake being sick. This is a false alarm! She's wasting medical resources! I'm actually helping her avoid getting in trouble!"
