Chapter 1257


    Hence, everyone - from the director of the hospital to the nurses and patients - came to ‘pay their


    respects’ to Zeke.


    The row of people kneeling to him stretched from the hospital’s entrance to the waiting room.


    Ignoring them, Zeke pulled Lacey’s hand and headed to the top floor.


    In a general ward, Hannah and Daniel had just regained consciousness and needed some rest.

    However, an old female patient beside them kept chattering away.


    There were three young men, who were her sons-inw, apanying her.


    When visiting the olddy, they even brought a lot of expensive gifts along with them.


    Their gifts included expensive herbs, exotic fruits, and lush flowers.


    The olddy asked Hannah proudly, “Hey, why are the both of you alone here? Didn’t your family


    members apany you here?”


    Although Hannah deSired to ignore her, she replied out of courtesy, “As my daughter is very busy, we


    don’t want to disturb her over this minor illness.”


    “Yeah.” The olddy felt the same way too. “My daughters are high-ranking officials in theirpanies.


    They are so busy that they don’t even have time to apany me. Luckily, my three sons-inw are


    very filial. As they cannot bear to see me ill, they stay by my side all day long to take care of me. I’m


    much luckier than both of you.”


    Hannah frowned.


    She could tell that the olddy was trying to brag.


    However, she could not be bothered to deal with her.


    To her, her own son-inw, Zeke, was a hundred times better than her three sons-inw.


    Yet, the olddy did not stop talking and continued chattering away.


    “As parents, we must be careful when we choose a husband for our daughters. If we chose an


    unsuitable husband, not only would we ruin our daughter’s life, but the guy would also leech onto us


    like a parasite until our deaths. What do you think?”


    “Mhm,” grunted Hannah in response, getting a bit annoyed.


    Your sons-inw are nothingpared to mine.


    How audacious of you to brag to me and try to best me?


    It’s a pity that Zeke isn’t here. Everything I say will be useless.


    Hence, she had no choice but to stay silent.


    The olddy continued bragging, “You, the oldest one, pour a ss of water for me. I’m thirsty.”


    “My leg feels a bit sore. You, rub it for me.”


    “Oh dear, my head hurts. You over there, massage my head.”


    “Okay.”


    The three sons-inw started busying themselves, catering to the olddy’s needs.


    During the whole time, her cheerfulughter sounded across the room.


    As sheughed, she even snuck nces at Hannah’s expression.


    The angrier Hannah was, the more aplished she felt.


    At that moment, the door of the hospital ward opened.


    When Hannah and Daniel saw Lacey and Zeke entering, they were so excited that they almost got off


    the bed.


    Zeke quickly passed Missy to them while reassuring them.


    “Dad, Mom, don’t move. You should rest well.”


    Missy also stretched out her chubby hands to stroke their faces.


    “Grandpa, Grandma, you must get well soon. I still need you to pick me up from school!”


    “Okay! Okay!” Hannah and Danielughed. “When we recover, we’ll definitely pick you up from school


    every day.”


    Theirughter sounded extremely piercing to the olddy’s ears, causing her expression to turn uglier.


    Who do they think they are to show me up like that?


    Hence, she mocked, “Oh, did your daughter and son-inwe to visit you empty-handed? Look at


    my sons-inw. They brought so many gifts that they are filling up the entire room.”


    Lacey and Zeke frowned as they nced at her.


    Is the olddy bragging?


    What a joke!
