Donald rushed while holding several gift boxes in his hand.
Who is sick? Angela mused when she spotted him.
Upon hearing someone call out his name, he stopped and looked around, before spotting Angela in a white coat. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Angela hurried over and glanced at the gift boxes in his hands. They were all premium. nutritional supplements and fruits, meticulously chosen for their quality.
“Who’s sick?” she asked.
Donald hadn’t expected to run into Angela at the hospital and smiled wryly. “It’s Queenie’s mother–in– law. She’s hospitalized here, so I came to check on her during lunch break.”
Queenie’s mother–in–law?
Angela’s eyes flashed, then she sweetly smiled. “Let me go with you.”
Donald didn’t mind. As they walked, he curiously asked, “What are you doing here? And why are you wearing a doctor’s white coat?”
“I accompanied my mentor to go to the charity clinic to lend a hand.” Angela grabbed some of the fruits and then recollected, “Uncle Donald, you mentioned last time that you weren’t feeling well. Did you get a check–up?”
“ith expenses piling up, Donald was hesitant to spend money on that. He shook his head.
“As one gets older, there are always some minor ailments. Resting helps. I don’t need to go to the hospital for a checkup.”
Angela pretended to be annoyed and said, “Look at you, still an intellectual but with such low. awareness. You need to address minor issues early, or they could escalate into major ones that are harder to treat. My teacher is a doctor here, and I, as his student, get discounts. It won’t cost much. I’ll reimburse you later and accompany you for a check–up.”
“You’re just a youngster. How can I accept your money?” Donald furrowed his brow and said. disapprovingly.
Angela chuckled softly. “You mentioned I’ve matured last time, and now I’m a prosperous lady. I have the means, I won’t spend it. Should I reserve it for other people? I’m looking out for you, so you don’t need to help me save.”

Donald paused and sighed inwardly. In the blink of an eye, she has grown up and got married.
Seeing her well–dressed, well–fed, and with smooth and light skin which were indications she was healthy, he felt reassured about her marrying into the Lawson family.
“All right then, I won’t try to save money for you,” he conceded.
With Donald’s definitive response, Angela felt somewhat relieved.
In her previous life, she showed very little care to Donald’s family. By the time she realized he had cancer, it was too late, and he was in the terminal stage without any hope of
treatment.
Hence, she was unaware of the exact timing of his illness.
As Angela trailed Donald upstairs, she lowered her gaze and contemplated how to persuade him to undergo a biannual check–up.
In this lifetime, she was determined not to let him perish prematurely.
In no time, they reached the fourth floor of the hospital as per the directions, with room number 405.
Angela had been to the hospital several times and was familiar with the hospital, so she found the ward easily.
The ward was a quadruple room, and upon pushing the door ajar, she spotted the busy Queenie inside.
Her hair was hastily tied back, with a few strands disheveled, and her complexion appeared pallid, likely due to excessive exhaustion.
In the farthest hospital bed lay an elderly individual, appearing to be in her fifties or sixties, sporting gray hair and prominent cheekbones. Her sharp and unfriendly gaze hinted that she was not easy to get along with.
“Didn’t you notice my cup was empty? Are you trying to scald me to death with this boiling water? I knew it, the moment I fell ill, you’ve been secretly wishing for me to kick the bucket sooner rather than later, so you can be done with me.”
Queenie sighed softly and mustered a smile as she attempted to reason, “Mom, I didn’t do that. Both Horace and I sincerely hope for you to get better soon.”
“Hmph, whatever. ‘Get better soon, so you won’t have to deal with taking care of me anymore, right?” Norma shot a cold glance at her and became increasingly annoyed. “I really

can’t understand what Horace saw in you back then. You’re completely useless, just leeching off my son, and can’t even help or care for anyone
Queenie tightly gripped the kettle as a wave of bitterness surged within her, and tears slowly streamed down her cheeks.
Norma sneered. “Cry all you want. I’m not dead yet!”
Upon watching this scene, Angela’s anger flared up immediately. Her eyes narrowed with determination as she walked in with confidence and a composed smile gracing her lips. “Mrs. Swine, you’ve completely misunderstood. Queenie went to the same school as Horace, and her grades were even better. She was highly regarded for her talent.
“She gave up a high–paying job overseas just to return and take care of your family. That was. approximately $50,000 annually, totaling over $300,000. How much does Horace carn now? Is it five or six hundred thousand?”
Suddenly someone came in. Norma was startled as she stared at Angela who appeared out of nowhere with an unpleasant expression.
Queenie called out softly, “Angela…”
It turned out to be her cousin, Angela Kins.
“500,000 or 600,000? You’ve got some nerve to boast at such a young age. You probably don’t even know how much 500,000 or 600,000 is.” Norma rolled her eyes.
She dares to talk big about hundreds of thousands of dollars. Does she think that

Her son was a manager who earned a high salary. He only made around a hundred thousand a year. Could Queenie, a woman, really surpass her son?
An empathetic Angela took the water kettle from Queenie’s hand and placed it on the communal table against the wall.
Donald stood at the door while holding the gifts. He suppressed his anger and managed to adjust his expression before stepping inside.
He glanced at his daughter before shifting his gaze toward Norma. “Mrs. Swine, Horace told me that you’re q not feeling well, so I came to see you. Here are some fruits and supplements for you to nourish your body.”
Norma casually glanced at them, then haughtily instructed Queenie, “Why are you standing there like a log? Can’t you see your dad brought something? Go and take it.”

She knew their family’s financial situation very well. They were very poor, so what good things could they afford to buy?
Queenie bit her lip. Her face was very pale and her eyes were red as she walked up to Donald and said in a hoarse voice. “Dad, just give it to me.”
Listening to his daughter’s hoarse voice, Donald couldn’t hold back anymore. His expression darkened as he grabbed Queenie’s arm and walked out of the hospital room, saying. “Follow
me.”
Norma immediately sat up and sharply yelled, “Donald, who are you showing that attitude. to?”
Angela quickly moved her body to block Norma’s line of sight.
She sneered and said coldly, “You’ll find out soon enough.”
“What do you mean?” Norma frowned.
With a light chuckle, Angela brought over a chair and sat down. She grabbed Norma’s wrist and stared coldly at her.
“What do you want?” Norma struggled to break free from Angela’s grip, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shake it off.
“You’re not actually ill, are you? Creating fake medical records to try and extort money?” Angela asked indifferently before casually releasing her hand.
Norma widened her eyes, avoiding Angela’s gaze, and retorted, “How could I not be sick? I’m here in the hospital, aren’t I? You’re just talking nonsense.”
Angela chuckled softly, her demeanor exuding both arrogance and calmness. “Well, considering there are several renowned doctors here today offering free consultations, and since you’re Queenie’s mother–in–law, it might be a good idea to take advantage of this opportunity. Would you like me to help arrange a joint consultation?
“Oh, and let me introduce myself. I’m Angela Kins, a medical student currently under the guidance of Professor Noah, a nationally acclaimed academician who’s been featured prominently in both newspapers and on television.”
