Chapter 788

The next day, when Tiffany received a call informing her that Kate was awake, she hurried to the hospital. Amelia and Oscar, too, rushed to join her.

The moment Amelia entered the ward, she was given a fright by the sound of a lunch box smashing onto the ground.

Subsequently, Kate's high-pitched voice rang out. "Tiffany, I know that you don't like me, but it's wrong for you to harm me. I just woke up, and you're serving me seafood chowder? What sort of agenda are you hiding? Are you hoping that I die an early death?"

Baffled by the accusations, Tiffany shifted her gaze toward Derrick, who came over to defuse the situation. "Mom, Tiffany didn't do it on purpose. She figured that adding seafood to the chowder would make it more nutritious, but she wasn't aware that you were allergic to seafood. Therefore, please forgive her for the innocent mistake."

Kate sniggered in anger.

"Finnick, look at this son of yours. Now that he has a wife, he has forgotten about his mother. Not only was I served seafood chowder when I awoke, but the ingredients were also all mashed up. If my senses hadn't been sharp enough to catch it, I would be lying in the operating room at this very moment. And when I reprimand her, he would jump into her defense. Forget it; I no longer want to eat. I'll stop complaining too, as my son and I have never been on the same page," Kate lamented.

With her head hung low, Tiffany apologized, "Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were allergic to seafood. I'll go back and make something else."

Waving her hand, Kate put on the haughty expression she wore all the time.

She replied, "Forget it, as I don't dare to taste your cooking anymore. Besides, your resentment toward me is obvious enough. Whenever I lecture you, Derrick would accuse me of picking on you. Therefore, I have to treat you as the apple of my eye before he thinks that I'm a good mother."

Amidst Derrick's furrowed brows, Amelia walked up with Oscar in tow to defuse the situation.

"Mrs. Hisson, Oscar and I rushed over to see you the moment we heard that you're awake," Amelia remarked cordially.

Retracting the distant aura she was exuding, Kate broke into a flat smile. "Amelia, I appreciate the thought. Please have a seat with Oscar."

After Amelia and Oscar settled down on the couch, Amelia said, "Tiffany has been worried about you and feeling guilty over the last few days. Now that you're awake, no one is more delighted than she is."

Smirking, Kate responded sarcastically, “Of course, she's worried about me, as my waking up wasn't what she was hoping for."

As Amelia was rendered speechless, tension began to fill the ward.

In the end, Amelia and Oscar couldn't bare to stay for more than half an hour.

When Tiffany escorted them out, Amelia held her hand and suggested, "Tiffany, come with us."

Tiffany shook her head.

"It's fine. At the end of the day, she's my mother-in-law. Hence, it would be inappropriate for me not to be there," Tiffany replied.

Amelia gave her a thoughtful look. She could feel that the previous feistiness in Tiffany had clearly been blunted. In the past, the latter would wear her heart on her sleeve, but now, she had kept her emotions all hidden away.
