Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 912

Going back to her family’s home was out of the question. Lena would rather move her luggage back to Aaron’s place and stay with him.

Though Mrs. Lane could pressure her, she couldn’t do the same with Aaron. In the end, she had no choice but to relent, though her frustration was evident, Grinding her teeth, she snapped, “You’re both so stubborn!”

As she left the room, Mrs. Lane gave Lena a pointed glare, clearly displeased that she hadn’t sided with her or tried to convince Aaron otherwise.

“Lena,” Mrs. Lane said sternly, “from today until your little uncle fully recovers, you’re responsible for taking care of him. This includes changing his bandages, accompanying him to check–ups, and handling all of his daily needs–everything from meals to mobility.”

“Don’t give me that attitude,” Mrs. Lane scolded. “If anything happens to him again, how will your conscience handle it?”

From her words, one might think Aaron’s injury had been Lena’s fault. Knowing there was no reasoning with her mother, Lena simply nodded and remained silent.

Even so, as Mrs. Lane left, she made sure to issue one last warning. “Don’t think you can slack off. I’ll be making surprise visits to check on you.”
