Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Hidden Motives
Bella Young is best at pretending to be frail. The nurse felt she wasn’t bad; maybe it was just because the old person was getting on in years and had a bit of a peculiar temper. But none of this concerned her; every family has its own struggles.
After the nurse left, only Bella Young and Old Madam Young were left in the ward.
Old Madam Young didn’t want to see this slut Bella Young. She simply closed her eyes and waited for Hugo Young to come over and give Bella Young a ruthless lesson.
Bella Young wasn’t doing well. She was having all sorts of intense internal battles. Hugo was about to arrive, and this damned old woman, playing dead with her eyes closed, would definitely tell Hugo not to let her off the hook.
Hugo was a filial one. If he found out about this, the consequences for her... just thinking about it was terrifying.
No.
She couldn’t just sit here and wait for death.
Bella Young’s gaze suddenly paused on the corner of the wooden cabinet next to Old Madam Young’s bed. It was a sharp triangle. If Old Madam Young’s head were to suddenly hit it...
Bella Young’s lips curled into a malicious smile. She walked to Old Madam Young’s bedside and raised her hand to hit Old Madam Young. It wasn’t heavy, nor was it light.
Old Madam Young suddenly opened her eyes and glared at her fiercely: "Bella Young, you vicious slut, what are you trying to do? Trying to hit me in the hospital again?"
Bella Young faked a smile: "How could I, Mom! I just wanted to ask if you needed some water, or perhaps to go to the bathroom."
Old Madam Young instinctively felt that Bella Young wasn’t being this kindhearted, especially with Bella Young’s smile, which seemed malicious no matter how she looked at it. This slut must be thinking of some malicious plan to deal with her.
She was old, but she wasn’t senile. Bella Young was afraid that Hugo would come to settle accounts with her.
"Get out of here!" Old Madam Young chased her away.
"Mom, I’m kindly concerned about you. How can you be like this?" Bella Young’s eyes reddened, as if she had been wronged. She continued, "If you don’t drink water, you’ll die of thirst. Or if you don’t go to the bathroom, you’ll burst from holding it in. It wouldn’t matter if you died, but Hugo wouldn’t have a mom, and Franklin wouldn’t have a grandma. They would blame me."
Bella Young was doing it on purpose; she deliberately provoked Old Madam Young.
The older you get, the more afraid of death you become.
Old Madam Young was just like that. She was old, and the last thing she wanted to hear was someone saying she was old, saying she was about to die.
Old Madam Young was so mad she crawled up from the hospital bed, raised her hand, ready to smack the slut Bella Young across the face: "Are you cursing me to die? You vicious wretch, I’m going to break your mouth."
Old Madam Young was so furious she lost her reason. She hadn’t expected Bella Young to deliberately provoke her to the point of laying hands on her in the hospital.
When Old Madam Young’s slap landed on Bella Young’s face, Bella Young didn’t resist; she stood there and let her hit. But after she had finished, Bella Young shot her a malicious cold smile and suddenly reached out, forcefully pushing Old Madam Young.
Bam!
Old Madam Young’s head struck the sharp corner of the cabinet, and blood immediately gushed from her head. Her eyes were filled with shock and resentment, but she knew it was too late to see through Bella Young’s deceit. The intense dizziness made her lose consciousness.
Seeing Old Madam Young close her eyes, Bella Young wore a smug smile on her face. Fighting with her? This old woman was just courting her own doom.
Bella Young ran out of the ward, her face already transformed into one of panic, and she shouted loudly: "Someone, please! My mom fell down, she’s bleeding a lot, please come save her."
The nurse, hearing Bella Young’s cries, arrived and saw the old woman fallen on the ground, her head covered in blood. Without time to ask what happened, she and the other nurses quickly put the old woman back on the emergency stretcher.
The old woman was once again rushed into the emergency room for treatment.
Bella Young stood outside the emergency room doors, watching the red light above the emergency room. She smirked slightly, hoping that the red light would stay on as long as possible, that it would be best if Old Madam Young became a vegetable—then it would be perfect.
Bella Young’s mind was filled with malicious thoughts.
Suddenly, a figure hurriedly approached her side. Before she could see who it was, the person had grabbed her hair fiercely, swinging their palm towards her face in a brutal series of slaps.
Bella Young was stunned by the beating. With continuous slaps, she felt no pain on her face, but her heart was engulfed in intense fear. When the slapping noise ceased...
Bella Young saw Hugo Young’s sinister face.
Nearby, there were nurses and doctors trying to break it up.
They were all trying to persuade Hugo Young.
Bella Young’s scalp was pulled tight, tears streamed down her face from the pain, her face stinging with a burning sensation as she cried, "It hurts, Hugo, let go."
Hugo Young didn’t listen to the nurses’ and doctors’ advice; he was furious all the way here due to the anonymous video that was sent to him, trembling with rage. How could this bitch be so vicious? Even his elderly mother didn’t escape her viciousness.
Hugo Young thought with hatred, and she had the nerve to cry out in pain? This was a hospital; if they had been at home, he would have taken a stick to break her hand for sure.
"You vicious woman, it’s not excessive even if I beat you to death," Hugo Young said, his eyes red with fury.
Bella Young was shocked, why would Hugo say something like that? Could it be he found out about her hitting Old Madam Young?
Bella Young was terrified; if that were the case, she was finished.
The security guard came over, finally pulling Hugo Young away.
Hugo Young was shaking with rage, giving Bella Young a look that promised further reckoning when they got home.
The rescue took about an hour.
The doctor came out of the emergency room and told Hugo Young, "The old woman is not currently in danger of losing her life, but the impact on her brain was severe, and given her age, we can’t say for certain when she might wake up."
Hugo Young, hearing this, asked urgently, "Doctor, my mother... she won’t become a vegetable like they show on TV, will she?"
Hugo Young feared this most, so he didn’t dare to ask directly whether she would become a vegetable, adding "like on TV" to alleviate the psychological pressure.
The doctor replied truthfully: "This... is hard to say. We’re doctors, not gods; we can’t guarantee anything. Everything will depend on the old woman’s own fate."
The doctor saw Hugo Young, a grown man, with reddened eyes and tears filling his eyes. He comforted him, "Sir, it’s not yet time to be sad. Don’t be too gloomy; the old woman’s situation is still considered good. If it were more severe, we would directly inform the family."
The doctor then looked at Bella Young and suddenly asked, "The nurse told me your mother was awake when she was brought into the ward and was well. How did she end up like this in such a short time? What exactly happened in the ward?"
Upon hearing this, Hugo Young was shocked and glared viciously at Bella Young standing next to him.
Bella Young was also scared to death internally; what was this damned doctor asking this for now?
