Chapter 1193

An hour later, Zane's mother, Priscilla, arrived.

Zane had discreetly texted her, asking her to come and keep an eye on Winona. He had some urgent business to attend to and didn't feel comfortable leaving Winona alone with Elysia, so he had called in reinforcements.

As Priscilla entered, Elysia couldn't help but frown slightly. Meanwhile, Winona watched her with innocent curiosity, her eyes free of any hostility.

Zane made the introductions. "Winona, this is my mom, Priscilla. She's your mother-in-law."

"Mother-in-law?" Winona feigned ignorance.

Zane's voice was gentle. "Yeah, you two have always gotten along like real mother and daughter."

Priscilla hurried over, taking Winona's hand and pretending to cry, though her eyes were dry. "Oh, Winona, you scared me half to death! Ever since I heard about your accident, I haven't eaten or slept well. If something happened to you, I don't know what I'd do! Boo hoo..."

Winona thought to herself, "Ugh, how nauseating!"

Elysia thought, "I might just throw up!"

Winona played along, "Don't cry, I'm fine now. I'm back safe and sound." Priscilla nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, as long as you're back, I won't cry." The scene was a picture of motherly love and daughter-in-law devotion.
