Chapter 5 — You use Filial piety to tie me down, I use divorce to end it
【Older sister! Chu Minh Le really came to my house! She was like a crazy person standing downstairs screaming loudly, cursing extremely hard to hear!】 【My parents listened to me, did not open the door, directly reported to the police. The police came to take her away!】 【The neighbors all ran out to see, they would lose face!】 Right after that were a few photos. In the photo, Chu Minh Le was held back by two policemen, her hair was messy, her face was fierce, and her mouth kept cursing. Surrounded by a group of neighbors watching the excitement, pointing and chatting. I looked at that photo, without any emotions. This is something she brought on herself. Not long after, General Manager Vuong also called.
“Tieu Hua, my sister-in-law came to the company this morning.”
“I'm bothering you too much.”
“It's not that annoying.”
He sounded like he was trying not to laugh.
"She stood in the lobby crying and making a scene, saying I left my mother-in-law bedridden and had no conscience. Then she was invited out by security."
“Our company's security guards are all military veterans, very professional.”
“Yes, I know.”
“Just rest assured and study, don't let these things affect you.”
Hanging up the phone, I let out a long breath. Two riotous scenes. In the end, it all ended in the disastrous defeat of Chu Minh Le. I guess right now she is probably crying and telling her brother about her suffering. As for Chu Minh Khai... What new tricks will he come up with to deal with me? I'm really looking forward to it. But the following week was unusually quiet. Chu Minh Khai no longer uses any method to contact me. It was like he had completely disappeared from my world. This unusual quietness makes me silently uneasy. He is not the type of person to give up easily. Surely he was secretly calculating something. By the end of the second week, I received a call from Ms. Truong - the patient's caregiver. I saved her number, so it wasn't blocked by the system. As soon as the phone was connected, a voice sounded both panicked and suppressed on the other end of the line.
“Miss Hua, please go home quickly!”
“Your mother-in-law… something happened!”
My heart suddenly sank.
“Miss Truong, please speak slowly, what happened?”
“This afternoon, she fell out of bed!”
Ms. Truong's voice began to choke.
"I just went to the kitchen to heat up a glass of milk. In less than a few minutes, I turned around and saw her lying on the ground, her head smashed and bleeding!"
“Where is Chu Minh Khai?”
I immediately asked.
“He… he's not at home!”
Ms. Truong's voice was full of self-pity and fear.
"He didn't come home last night! When I called him, at first he didn't answer, then he just hung up! I had no choice but to call you!"
My mind immediately worked quickly. Chu Minh Khai lost contact. The mother-in-law fell and was seriously injured. This is absolutely not a coincidence.
“Have you called 120 yet?”
"Called and called, the ambulance is on the way. But... but the hospital asked the family to sign the papers! I'm just a caregiver, I can't sign!"
This is the key issue.
"Miss Hua, please go home quickly! She is still in a coma right now, the doctor said her condition is not very good, if there is a delay in treatment..."
“Miss Truong, don't panic.”
I forced myself to calm down.
“Which hospital are you in now?”
Ms. Truong read the name of the hospital.
"Listen to me. First, explain the situation to the doctor and say your family will come right. I immediately booked a plane ticket and returned as quickly as possible."
“Okay, okay!”
Hanging up the phone, I immediately opened the ticket booking app. The nearest flight has exactly one hour left until takeoff. I just booked the ticket and used the fastest speed to pack my things. Backup charger. Along with the pre-printed divorce agreement. I put it in my bag to carry with me. My intuition told me... Chu Minh Khai's loss of contact was a trap he had long set up. He knows his mother cannot be without a caregiver. Knowing that Ms. Truong could not handle it alone. So he intentionally disappeared, creating a situation where his mother-in-law had no one to look after her. He is sure that…
