Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

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." Mrs. Lane's commanding tone reminded Lena of why she'd often likened her mother to a tyrant. At least to her, Mrs. Lane had always been domineering and overbearing.

Lena had clashed with her mother many times over the years, particularly during her rebellious teenage phase. Their fights were so intense that, at her lowest point, Lena had almost done something drastic just to make Mrs. Lane regret it. It was Aaron who had pulled her back from the brink-he had saved her life, literally.

"Alright, I get it, Ms. Ace," Lena replied with exaggerated obedience, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "I promise to give my utmost care and attention to my esteemed uncle, twenty-four-seven.'

"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."
