Chapter 10 — After the Divorce, I Stopped Paying for My Mother-in-Law's Medicine

The VIP hospital room quickly filled with people. Hua Man lies on the bed. The corners of the eyes are red. Tears welled up. The baby slept in a small crib next to him. Trieu Que Lan stood next to the hospital bed. Just saw me walk in. She immediately rushed forward.

“Shen Duong!”

“Quickly return my nephew's gold bracelet!”

I dodged aside.

“I didn't take it.”

Hua Man choked up.

“Miss Tham…”

“I know you don't like me.”

“I don't like this kid either.”

“But that bracelet was a one-month gift from Diec Xuyen to his son.”

“What does it mean if you take it away?”

Giang Diec Xuyen stood next to me. His face was extremely unsightly. From Thanh Hoa Vien to the hospital. All the way he didn't say a word. But just walked in here. He immediately became the man on the courtroom stand.

“Shen Duong.”

“Today after tea party...”

“Only you have ever been near Man Man's bag.”

“Who else is there besides me?”

Hua Man replied:

“Aunt Trieu.”

“Two nannies.”

“And the tea service staff.”

“But they definitely won't take it.”

Right at that moment. Tieu Vu, whom I called to testify, had just entered the door. After hearing this sentence, I immediately exploded.

“Based on what they don't take?”

“And Ms. Duong will definitely take it?”

“Your mouth is always soft.”

“But every sentence and every word is as sharp as a knife!”

Zhao Guilan glared.

“Is this where you have the right to speak up?”

Tieu Vu crossed his arms.

“You can still talk.”

“Why can't I?”

“Are you the one paying the hospital bills?”

“Or is it the hospital room's air purifier?”

Two nurses standing next to him tried not to laugh. In the end, I just had to bow my head. Shoulders tremble every time. Hua Man cried even more pitifully.

“Diec Xuyen...”

“I don't want to make a big deal out of it.”

“If Ms. Tham returns the bracelet.”

“You can't call the police.”

I looked at her.

“Call the police.”

Hua Man's crying immediately stopped. It was like someone had just choked my throat. Jiang Yichuan frowned.

“Do I have to make a fuss?”

I looked straight at him.

“The one who steals is the thief.”

“If you confirm that I am a thief.”

“Then call the police.”

Trieu Que Lan immediately put her hands on her hips.

“Report, report!”

“Am I still afraid of you?”

But Giang Diec Xuyen turned to look at Hua Man. Obviously hesitant. Hua Man tightened the corner of the blanket. Small voice:

“Let's stop…”

“The baby is still young.”

“I don't want the police to come to the hospital room.”

I laughed.

“Didn't you say that the month's gold bracelet was lost?”

Hua Man bit her lip.

“I just want to give you a chance.”

"I don't need it."

I directly took out my phone. Dial the police number right in front of everyone. Twenty minutes later. The police arrived. Hua Man's face became whiter and whiter. Even the hand holding the blanket began to tremble. The police officer finished recording basic information. Then he raised his head and asked:

“When was the gold bracelet last seen?”

In that moment. The whole hospital room suddenly fell silent. And Hua Man's eyes... showed a trace of panic that was difficult to detect. Hua Man wiped her tears. Choked voice:

“After the tea party ended, I put the bracelet in my bag.”

“When I got back to the hospital, I found out I was gone.”

The policeman took notes. Then ask again:

“During that time, who is holding the bag? carry?”

Hua Man turned to look at the nanny. The nanny immediately waved her hand.

“I only held it for Ms. Hua for about ten minutes.”

“After that, it was handed over to Aunt Trieu.”

Trieu Que Lan immediately jumped up.

“What do you mean?”

“You doubt me?”

The nanny was so scared that she cowered.

“I... I didn't say that.”

The police quickly requested to extract the hospital hallway camera. At the same time, contact Thanh Hoa Vien to get a camera of the tea party. While waiting for data to be sent. The whole hospital room was silent. Except for the sound of the heart rate monitor. There are no other sounds. Ten minutes later. The video is opened. In screen. When the tea party ended. Hua Man gave the bag to Trieu Que Lan. Trieu Que Lan turned his back. Searched for a long time. Finally took out a red velvet box. Quickly stuff it into your own bag. The moment that image appeared. Trieu Que Lan was completely dumbfounded. A few seconds later. She suddenly beat her thighs and cried.

“I didn't steal!”

“I just saved it for Man Man!”

"I was afraid I'd lose it so I kept it for you!"

Hua Man turned his head to look at her. First time. The gentleness on her face could no longer be maintained.

“So why didn't you tell me?”

Trieu Que Lan frantically grabbed her hand.

“I really just want to help keep it!”

“I plan to go home and give it back to Diec Xuyen for safekeeping!”

Giang Diec Xuyen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

“Where is the bracelet?”

Trieu Que Lan stammered:

“Stay... stay home.”

The police officer coldly said:

“Then please cooperate to retrieve the evidence.”

Tieu Vu stood beside him with his arms crossed. Laugh out loud.

“Really good.”

“It turns out the thief was right in my house.”

Trieu Que Lan glared at the girl. But this time I don't dare scold you anymore. Hua Man turned to me. Tears still remained in the corners of my eyes.

“Miss Tham…”

“I was too nervous just now.”

I looked at her.

“Apologizing is useless.”

The smile on Hua Man's face immediately stiffened. Giang Dieu Xuyen took a step forward.

“The bracelet has been found.”

“This ends here.”

I shook my head. Then look towards the police officer.

“I request a record.”

“They publicly accused me of stealing.”

“The video of them insulting me in the hospital hallway will also be used by me as evidence of defamation.”

Hua Man's face immediately changed.

“Miss Tham…”

“The baby is still here.”

“Do we have to go to this extent?”

I looked at the baby sleeping in the small crib. The voice was extremely calm.

“The child is not responsible for what you do.”

"I can't bear the consequences for you."

Giang Diec Xuyen finally couldn't bear it anymore.

“Shen Duong.”

“You're getting more and more unreasonable.”

I ask in return:

“If the camera captures the person taking the bracelet is really me…”

“Are you going to let it end like this?”

He was silent. No reply. But that silence... Is the clearest answer. Right at that moment. Outside the hospital room door, a familiar voice rang out.

“No way.”

“It will leave you in prison for the rest of your life.”

“Then let the whole city know that you are a thief.”

Everyone turned their heads simultaneously. To Minh Nghi stood at the door with his cane. The assistant supported him next to him. Hua Man immediately sat up straight.
