Chapter 571

โ€œWhat of it?โ€ Reynaldoโ€™s voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for everyone in the ward to hear. โ€œItโ€™s normal for couples to be affectionate with each other, are you afraid of others seeing?โ€

I pursed my lips.

Okay.

This man was shameless; no one could compare to him.

However, it was nothing for Kimberly to see this, the key was that Mikaela was still behind me, staring at me with eyes like needles.

Reynaldo casually glanced at Kimberly and Mikaela, then asked me, โ€œDid you inform them to come?โ€

I shook my head in a hurry, โ€œNo.โ€

โ€œHuh, she got you into the emergency room, of course she didnโ€™t have the guts to notify us!โ€ Mikaela sneered coldly, looking at me with even more disdain in her eyes.

I took a deep breath and comforted myself silently.

It doesnโ€™t matter whether my mother-in-law likes me or not, as long as my own man stands by me.

Reynaldo finally released the hand that was pinching my waist.

I quickly got off him.

As soon as my feet touched the ground, he grabbed my hand and held it tightly.

He said to Mikaela, โ€œI went to the emergency room because of my stomach problem, it had nothing to do with her.โ€

โ€œShe didnโ€™t inform us about anything, and I had no idea you were also admitted to the hospital until the doctor mentioned it casually while doing a physical examination for me!โ€

โ€œYeah, Reynaldo, she knew we were all in this hospital, and she didnโ€™t say anything,โ€ As soon as Mikaela finished speaking, Kimberly added.

Reynaldo glanced at her instantly, his face slightly darkening.

Kimberlyโ€™s expression froze for a moment, then tears welled up in her eyes, her voice choked with emotion as she said, โ€œReynaldo, we were just worried about youโ€ฆโ€

Reynaldo leaned back and his gaze fell on Mikaela.

He smiled at Mikaela and said, โ€œMom, you misunderstood Esmeralda. She didnโ€™t inform you because she was afraid you would worry.โ€

โ€œHuh, I think she was afraid of me blaming her!โ€ Mikaela said aggressively.

Reynaldo suddenly laughed, โ€œYou know your mother-in-law is fierce. Look, you scared her so much that she dares not even speak.โ€

I happened to be hanging my head and looking down, which really confirmed his words.

Mikaela glanced at me and snorted coldly, โ€œWhat daughter-in-law? I never considered her as a daughter-in-law. As soon as you get better, hurry up and divorce her. Last time she almost killed you, and this time she landed you in the emergency room. What else did she do besides hurt you? Kimberly was differentโ€ฆโ€

Mikaela said, pulling Kimberly towards her and addressing Reynaldo, โ€œKimberly is knowledgeable, understanding, caring, and good at taking care of people. If you are with Kimberly, you will definitely be happy. On the contrary, this Ms. Duffy, she never regarded you as her husband, she looked down on you from the bottom of her heart. She is now all smiles to you, just because you are wealthy. I bet if you were to go back to your previous low point, she wouldnโ€™t even give you a glance.โ€

Although I strongly disagreed with Mikaelaโ€™s words, I really wanted to retort. But Vonnie had told me before that the problems between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are best left to men to handle. This way, the mother-in-lawโ€™s resentment will be transferred to her son and not make things too difficult for the daughter-in-law.

With these thoughts in mind, I pursed my lips and forced myself to remain silent.

Reynaldo glanced at me, with a slight curl of his lips.
