Chapter 31 — Mother-in-law Tests Daughter-in-law's Heart
“Do you regret it?” Tran Nghien was bowing his head, peeling oranges. Hearing that, his fingers stopped. "Regret for what?" "Regret for pushing my mother to this point because of you." Tran Nghien separated orange segments and dropped them into a small bowl. "I don't regret that." "I regret because I realized it too late." Ninh Uyen looked at him, her eyes fluttering slightly. Tran Nghien raised his head, his voice hoarse: "If you had changed the door lock sooner." "Refused to let her enter the house sooner." "Taking your fear seriously sooner." "Then you wouldn't have to lie here." Ninh Uyen was silent for a long time. Finally, he softly said: "I still can't forgive you right now." The corners of Tran Nghien's eyes were red. He nodded. "I know." "I don't expect you to be able to forgive me now." "I just ask you to give me a chance to do better in the future." Ninh Uyen did not answer. But she reached out her hand to receive the orange segment he offered. Two weeks later, Ninh Uyen's condition finally stabilized. Doctor Ha looked at the test results, his face relaxed a lot. "You can be discharged from the hospital." "But you still have to continue to rest when you go home." "Don't overwork, don't let your emotions get too excited." Ninh Uyen's mother quickly asked: "Can I drive home, doctor?" Doctor Ha nodded. "Go a little slower." Tran Nghien had prepared his things in advance. On the day of discharge from the hospital, the sunlight outside was pale. Ninh Uyen sat in a wheelchair and was pushed out the hospital door by her mother. She looked up and saw Tran Nghien's car parked on the side of the road. The back seat is lined with a soft mattress, with warm water and a pillow next to it. When the car door opened, Tran Nghien said softly: "Let's go home." Ninh Uyen glanced at him. "Go to my mother's house." Tran Nghien nodded. "Yes, go to my mother's house." That small apartment was once a home, Tran Nghien did not let Ninh Uyen have to go back again. He hired someone to clean up all her clothes, papers, and medical examination records. Each item is carefully washed and disinfected. All pots and pans in the kitchen were replaced. The refrigerator was also cleaned out with nothing left. After that, the house was put up for sale. The broker asked him why he wanted to sell because he was living peacefully. Tran Nghien just replied: "I don't want to keep it anymore." The case progressed more slowly than Ninh Uyen imagined. But it was more solid than she thought. Ton Que Phan's violation of the Temporary Protection Order and forced change of testimony have been recorded in the record. The part where she intentionally fed the victim allergenic foods, leading to severe allergies and the risk of miscarriage, was also included in the official proceedings. The civil compensation portion is conciliated first. At first, Ton Que Phan still refused to sign. She sat in the mediation room, her eyes red and said: "It's healthy and normal." "The baby can be kept." "Why do you still have to pay so much?" Ninh Uyen didn't come. Tran Nghien appeared on her behalf.
