Hence, everyone - from the director of the hospital to the nurses and patients - came to ‘pay their respects’ to Zeke.

The row of people kneeling to him stretched from the hospital’s entrance to the waiting room.

Ignoring them, Zeke pulled Lacey’s hand and headed to the top floor.

In a general ward, Hannah and Daniel had just regained consciousness and needed some rest.

However, an old female patient beside them kept chattering away.

There were three young men, who were her sons-in-law, accompanying her.

When visiting the old lady, they even brought a lot of expensive gifts along with them.

Their gifts included expensive herbs, exotic fruits, and lush flowers.

The old lady asked Hannah proudly, “Hey, why are the both of you alone here? Didn’t your family members accompany you here?”

Although Hannah deSired to ignore her, she replied out of courtesy, “As my daughter is very busy, we don’t want to disturb her over this minor illness.”

“Yeah.” The old lady felt the same way too. “My daughters are high-ranking officials in their companies. They are so busy that they don’t even have time to accompany me. Luckily, my three sons-in-law are very filial. As they cannot bear to see me ill, they stay by my side all day long to take care of me. I’m much luckier than both of you.”

Hannah frowned.

She could tell that the old lady was trying to brag.

However, she could not be bothered to deal with her.

To her, her own son-in-law, Zeke, was a hundred times better than her three sons-in-law.

Yet, the old lady did not stop talking and continued chattering away.

“As parents, we must be careful when we choose a husband for our daughters. If we chose an unsuitable husband, not only would we ruin our daughter’s life, but the guy would also leech onto us like a parasite until our deaths. What do you think?”

“Mhm,” grunted Hannah in response, getting a bit annoyed.

Your sons-in-law are nothing compared to mine.

How audacious of you to brag to me and try to best me?

It’s a pity that Zeke isn’t here. Everything I say will be useless.

Hence, she had no choice but to stay silent.

The old lady continued bragging, “You, the oldest one, pour a glass of water for me. I’m thirsty.”

“My leg feels a bit sore. You, rub it for me.”

“Oh dear, my head hurts. You over there, massage my head.”

“Okay.”

The three sons-in-law started busying themselves, catering to the old lady’s needs.

During the whole time, her cheerful laughter sounded across the room.

As she laughed, she even snuck glances at Hannah’s expression.

The angrier Hannah was, the more accomplished she felt.
