Chapter 21 — Mother-in-law Tests Daughter-in-law's Heart

“The patient is agitated.” “Quickly go back to bed.” Tran Nghien rushed forward to help Ninh Uyen. Her fingers were cold, her breathing was shaky and rapid. Outside, Ton Que Phan was still screaming: "Everyone, look!" "As soon as I arrived, he pretended to be upset." "He just doesn't want to let me live in peace!" As soon as these words came out, the nurse's face completely darkened: "Call security."15 When the security came running, Ton Que Phan still clung to the nurse's counter and refused to leave. She cried and screamed very loudly: "You all came together to oppress an old woman." "My son was blinded by his daughter-in-law, even his biological mother did not recognize him." "I came to apologize, but he pretended to have difficulty breathing and trembling." "He wanted to take my life, so yes!" From the surrounding hospital rooms, a few people poked their heads out to take a peek. There were also a few phone cameras secretly raised up. Tran Nghien tightly closed the hospital room door, blocking all outside sounds. Ninh Uyen leaned against the headboard, her chest heaving chaotically. The nurse measured her blood pressure and gently comforted her: "Don't listen to what's outside." "Slowly breathe." "Now you're not allowed to agitate your emotions like that anymore." Ninh Uyen closed her eyes, her hand crumpling the corner of the blanket. It wasn't that she wanted to be scared. But that high-pitched voice was like a sharp iron hook, slipping through the crack of the door, hook after blow, hooking back the horrifying memories on the dining table. A plate of chubby dumplings. Ton Que Phan's staring eyes. And the sound of her slapping the table and laughing. *What allergy, just pretending!* Tran Nghien held her hand. "I'm here." The corners of Ninh Uyen's eyes were wet. She wanted to tell him to stop saying these three words. Because you've heard it too many times. Every time he said he was here, Ton Que Phan still leisurely entered the house, still boldly walked into the kitchen, could still chop chives and stuff them into her bowl. But seeing the panic in Tran Nghien's eyes, in the end she said nothing. Outside the hospital room, the security guard began inviting Ton Que Phan to the elevator. Ton Que Phan was determined not to go and sat down on the ground. "I'm not going." "If you don't let me see Ninh Uyen today, I'll die right here." The cousin was about to raise his phone to continue filming, but was stopped by the head nurse. "The inpatient treatment area strictly prohibits filming and taking photos of patients and medical staff." "If you keep filming, we'll call the police." The cousin turned pale. "I delete, I delete. right away.” The head nurse took his phone, checked to make sure the video had been deleted, and then asked him to empty the phone trash. Seeing this, Ton Que Phan became even more frantic: "What right do you have to erase it?" "That's evidence!" When Tran Nghien walked out of the hospital room, there was no expression left on his face. "Proof?" "What do you want to prove?" "Prove that you knew she had just had a severe allergic reaction, but still came to the hospital room to make a fuss?" "Prove that you wanted to film her sick scene to send to relatives?" Ton Que Phan gritted his teeth. Tears welled up in his eyes. "I just want everyone to see how you two treat me." Tran Nghien nodded. "Okay." "Then I'll also let everyone see how I treat her." After speaking, he directly took out a printed copy of the preliminary test results. The paper is neither thin nor thick. But when Ton Que Phan saw the line explaining the ingredients on it, the blood on his face immediately disappeared. Tran Nghien handed the paper to the head nurse. "Would you please forward it to the hospital security department to keep the records for me?" "This is the test result of the food that caused the patient's hospitalization yesterday."
