Chapter 215
“Where the heck are you planning to take your brother? He’s my only son, and I’m counting on him to wake up and take care ofme in my old age. He’s not going anywhere!”
Jolin sat on the hospital bed, clinging to Thaddeus like her life depended on it.Apollo, Jolin’s brother, stood in front of Lizetta.
“Lizetta, you’ve got it all wrong. Thaddeus is your mom’s pride and joy, her lifeline. And here you are. scheming to sneak him outof the country. What if something goes wrong on the plane, or he can’t make it abroad? Wouldn’t your mom be devastated if shecouldn't even see him one last time?”
Erica, Apollo's wife, was nodding along, sweet-talking Lizetta with all the patience of a saint.
“Liz, | know you're a good kid, full of heart and loyalty. You’ve taken on the tough job of caring for your brother and even want totake him abroad for treatment. That’s not easy, but you've got to think about your mom too. If he’s awake, he’d surely hate toleave your mom behind.”
Yolanda stood by Lizetta’s side, but when she saw them crowding around the hospital bed, she couldn't help but scoff.
“How often have you even visited Thaddeus? You, his mom, showing up once or twice a month? And you, his uncles andaunties, have you even come by once this year? Now that Liz is trying to get him better treatment abroad, you all pop up out ofthe woodwork. What’s your game?”
Yolanda was so furious, she wished she could split their chests open with an axe to see if theirhearts were black.How could they be so calculating with their own son, their own nephew?
“You can’t talk like that, young lady. We're just ordinary folks, life’s tough. We hustle from dawn till dusk to make ends meet.Sure, we care about our nephew, but we’re not like you, Lizetta. You live it up as the Dashiell family’s lady of leisure with all thetime in the world to make hospital visits. It's not that we don’t care, we're just powerless.”
Erica put on a pitiful face as she spoke.
Her words were not just nonsense but also a sly suggestion that Lizetta was just putting on a show at the hospital to build herpersona.
Yolanda was fuming, ready to roll up her sleeves and say, “You won't leave, huh? Alright, I'll throw each of you out myself!”“Oh my, someone call security! There’s a ruckus in the ward!”
Erica dramatically sat on the floor, clinging to the leg of Thaddeus‘ hospital bed, throwing a fit.
Lizetta grabbed Yolanda, her face cold as ice, and glared at the three of them.
“Spit it out. What do you want?”
Jolin and the others were obviously here to negotiate terms. Lizetta was all ears.
Jolin let go of Thaddeus and looked at Lizetta.

Lizetta had no patience for the theatrics, cutting her off, “Cut to the chase.”
