You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 195

They arrived at the hospital and bumped into Marie who had come over to visit Margaret. She wiped away his tears as she approached him, "Edric, what happened? She was still fine when I visited her this morning. We had even planned to go on a vacation once she had

recovered. What on earth happened to her?"

Tears trickled down her cheeks as she spoke, seeming devastated. Edric hid the disgust towards the woman in his eyes and pretended to be furious, "It's all because of Irene. She came over to question my mother today regarding something and pushed her. She's the

culprit."

"Irene pushed her? Are you sure?!" Marie exclaimed in disbelief.

"It can't be a mistake. It has to be her. She once slapped my mother in front of me. Just now I was away, and it was the perfect opportunity for her to treat my mother as harshly as she wanted." Edric clenched his fist, "If she wasn't pregnant, I would...she really is too vicious!" Seeing that he was simmering with anger, Marie heaved a sigh of relief. It really did seem that Edric was furious and exasperated, and if it was not for the fact that Irene was pregnant, Edric would have irrationally done something to her at that point. Their plan had worked! She had still been skeptical when she heard from Deborah that Edric had quarreled with Irene. Hence, she came over to observe Edric's reaction. Now that she had witnessed his wrath in person, she was finally relieved. Everything would be perfect as long as Margaret remained in a coma.

Marie left after reassuring him that everything would be all right with her eyes bloodshot. Once she disappeared from sight, Edric scowled. "Don't let anyone approach my mother alone. Not even the doctors," he instructed the caregivers he had hired specifically to protect Margaret.

They nodded, "Mr. Myers, rest assured, we will constantly be watching her."

Edric left the hospital with a heavy heart. He wanted to see Irene and explain to her about the circumstances but he felt that it was not the right time. Hence, he changed his mind and went home. Lorraine dashed out immediately when they reached home and she asked, "Mr. Myers, how's Mrs. Myers?"

"No improvement," Edric answered.

"I've packed my stuff up. I'll go over and take care of Mrs. Myers tomorrow morning."

"There's no need. I've already hired caregivers to take care of her." He knew that Loraine was expressing her loyalty towards the family but there was no way he would let her near his mother again.

"I've worked for Mrs. Myers for so many years. She is used to my care. To be honest, I'll be worried if someone else looks after her. Just let me go," Lorraine pleaded.

"I know that you care about my mother but sje is currently unconscious. The doctor has said that she needs to be taken care of by professionals. I have already hired caregivers to look after her." Edric replied, "Besides, now that my mother isn't at home, everything is in a mess. I do not have time to take care of the house. I need you to stay here and manage the household's matters."

That meant that she would be in charge of the household. Lorraine did not expect such luck to befall her. She knew exactly how precious this chance was. She was gleeful and prayed that Margaret would never wake up.

Kinsey had gone overseas for a business trip for the past few days. Upon returning home, the scent of food greeted her. She was delighted, T m so lucky that I get to smell some good food upon returning."

Irene turned around and flashed her a smile. "It's not that you're lucky, but that Uncle Thomas knew that you're coming home today. Hence, he prepared them specifically for you."

"Really? Oh, Uncle Thomas, you're so good to me!" Kinsey looked around and asked, "Where' s Eden?"
