The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 492 Helpless

"What do you want me to do? I'm not your mom! I have no idea what bet you're talking about!" Avery, naturally, would never admit to it. After all, Pork was her nephew, and she certainly wouldn't side with a country boy like Daniel.

"Mom, you're lying!"

"What lie?" Avery countered.

"You know very well the lie you're telling. By doing this, you're not only opposing me, but you're opposing Grandpa too! You’re acting just like Uncle, wishing Grandpa's death!"

"Country boy, don’t you dare spout any more nonsense!"

"I'm serious. If we want to save Grandpa, Uncle has to play the turtle today. If he's unwilling, then I'm helpless. You’ll have to find someone else, Mom!"

Daniel meant to abandon the treatment. He was intent on seizing this rare opportunity to assert himself over Avery.

Avery was a clever woman; she saw through Daniel's little ploy instantly.

"Country boy, are you threatening me?"

"How dare I! Where would I get the courage to threaten you, Mom? Besides, you wouldn’t stand for it—your hanger wouldn’t agree! All I want is to save Grandpa. If you insist on opposing me, preventing Uncle from cooperating, then I truly am out of options. We'll just have to watch Grandpa pass away, full of resentment.

Oh, and I should remind you, Mom. Though Grandpa hasn't woken up yet and looks just like a dead man, his spirit is still in his body. That means he's aware of every single thing you do and every

word you say."

Furious, Avery picked up the hanger and struck Daniel hard.

"Whack!"

With a loud sound, his backside stung fiercely.

"Ow! Ow ow!" Daniel winced, clutching his backside.
