Mysterious Little Wife

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Alina's babblings caused Lacey to knock her on the head rather unmercifully.

"Stop talking nonsense then!" Lacey gave her a cold glare before pushing the ward door open.

Maria was still sound asleep. Meanwhile, there were fruits scattered on the table.

"Why did you bring so much fruit again? We haven't even finished the last one you brought!" Lacey went to bag the fruit after putting her purchases away.

Alina took a stool and sat down. She then said casually, "My family owns a fruit shop. Just take them. It's free anyway."

"These are your parents' hard-earned money. You can't just give them away like that. I'll transfer you the money later." Lacey insisted on paying Alina for the fruit.

Alina stood up and asked disgruntledly, "Lacey, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?"

In a trice, Lacey stepped forward and covered Alina's mouth. "Keep your voice down. Can't you see my mother is sleeping?"

Alina pouted glumly.

Lacey hurried to reassure her, saying, "You know that's not what I meant. It's just that it's not easy to earn money these days. Not to mention, you've been helping me out all these years."

"Pause! Do you have any idea what you're talking about?" Lacey's sensational words was stopped by Alina, who rolled her eyes.
