Love My Friends with Benefits

Chapter 40: Misfortune Befalling the Family

I was shocked and hurriedly tried to look for somewhere to hide.

Unfortunately, the nurse had just taken away the bedsheets. I couldn't even hide under the bed as I'd done previously.

Grandma was anxious as well, looking like she wanted nothing more than to jump out of bed.

Bell seemed to try to push the door open. Aunt Nancy pretended to sound angry and called out, "Who's there?!"

"It's me."

The door's handle jiggled a few times. When Bell found that he couldn't open the door, he asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"

Aunt Nancy signalled to me to hide in the wardrobe. "I'm helping Mum change! Hold your horses! Why don't you come in and do it for her if you're so impatient?!"

Due to her anxiety, she sounded almost hysterical.

Bell fell silent, seemingly stunned. After a while, he said angrily, "Do all the changing you need to! There's no need to take that tone with me!"

Taking this opportunity, I quickly hid in the cupboard and pulled the doors shut.

There was a thin slit between each door.

Through the slit, I saw Bell walk in and say, "Later, Titan Group's Young Master is coming to see Mum. Nancy, help her get ready."

I was so flustered that all I could hear was the sound of my heart pounding. I didn't even really notice what Bell had said.

Aunt Nancy sneered and said unceremoniously, "What does that have to do with me?"

...

Bell's expression turned ugly.

Aunt Nancy continued, "You might be willing to be Titan Group's stooge, but I'm not! I'm an upright woman who would never sell a daughter off to latch onto someone!"

Bell flew into a rage. "Nancy Jones, you!"

"That's enough!"

Grandma couldn't take it anymore and slammed a hand on the table.
