Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 73

Why not avoid it?

Pursing her lips, Angela didn't reply. If she said 'yes', Auntie Adeline would give her a even harder time. If she said 'no', Adeline would make her brother take full responsibility.

There was no win-win answer, so she kept silent.

"Jessica is a kind-hearted girl. She was almost killed by you but didn't sue you and just let you stay in prison for two years. How could you keep trying to hurt her again and again!"

Adeline walked over to Angela’s bed, and poked her forehead hard with her well-manicured finger, "Do you have any conscience?"

Angela's forehead got red by her poke, but she didn't fight back.

Danis furrowed his brow and took a step forward subconsciously, but soon he retreated and chose to ignore the scene.

"Is this your dignity, Auntie Adeline?"

At that very moment, James, who had finished his phone call, pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing James, Adeline was a bit surprised. Then her gaze moved from James to Denise, with a hidden rage in her voice, "Denise, do you came over with James after dinner?"

"James, what are you doing here at this time."

Denise pretended to be astonished as well.

And James stayed calm, "I came over after finishing my work."

He glanced at Angela's red forehead,"Are you an idiot?

Why not avoid it."

"I am not stupid."

It just can’t be avoided.

No matter how severe Jessica had hurt her, at least she claimed that it was an accident, but her brother was blatantly splashing hot tea on her. She was ‘in the wrong’.

James grunted sarcastically and looked elsewhere.

"Let them say. Just drink your soup. It is getting cold."

Denise served another bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Angela.

Angela said thank you, and then sipped the soup.

The black bone chicken soup was very fresh and fragrant, but she had no taste for it.

She would have preferred that it was her parents, not auntie Denise, who had come to visit and take care of her, protecting her from the Smiths.

"Are you on Angela’s side, just like your mom?"

Adeline's voice got a little sharp in a high pitch, "Did you forget that one of Jessica’s leg was hurt by her because of you? "

James sat down on the bed beside Angela, and avoided her questioning in a teasing tone, "Even a teenage girl won’t say such childish words."

"Does Mr. James know how to respect the elders?"

Danis's amber eyes were tinged with a dark hue.

James pursed his lips, "Does auntie Adeline know how to love the juniors?"

The ward was spacious, but the skirmish between them made Angela out of breath. It was so depressing in the room.

"Well, we get patients here. What are you guys doing?"

Denise sighed and glanced at Danis and Adeline, whose hands were empty, "I guess Adeline and Danis were not supposed to visit Angela, were you?"

Without waiting for them to answer, she continued.

"I don't think so, you would at least bring a gift if it is a visit."

"We just came over to get justice for Jessica."

Danis said before his mother.

"Greyson hurt Jessica for no reason. My mother and I want to know if it was his own idea or he was egged on by someone."

When he said 'someone', he glanced at Angela.

"Did Greyson really hurt Jessica for no reason?

As far as I am concerned, Angela’s injury is more severe than Jessica’s."

Denise exclaimed, "Angela's scalded leg hurts me just by a look."
