Chapter 120
While helping Grandma to calm down, Hallie looked like she about to break down in tears.
"Are you nning to kill Grandma? An outsider is an outsider after all. Grandma loves you so much
and she treats you so well! Please call the doctor quickly..."
The atmosphere of the scene became tensed as she was shouting.
At this time, everyone in the Clements family was standing by the door, blocking it. All of them
red at Alicia with death stares.
Alicia was pushed, thus she tried to stabilize herself as she shook her head. She wanted to exin,
but out of the blue, her gaze met a pair of icy-cold blue eyes. Her heart skipped a beat as a trace of
inexplicable surprise shed across her face.
Frederick? When did hee back from the business trip?
Penny spoke and she chided Alicia once again.
"How can you let Mrs. Clements eat that kind of food? Even if you are trying to show filial piety, you
can''t just do whatever you want. You might ruin her health! This is a life-and-death matter. She just
had an operation on her stomach!"
"This is ridiculous! The whole ward smells like meat! How much meat did you feed her and how
greasy was the meat?"
"Oh, why isn''t Miranda here? How can you make the decision on your own?"
"How many days have you been feeding it to Grandma? We were all preparing to get her
discharged from the hospital! Look at what you have done!"
"You are so inhumane! How can you do this to Grandma?"
"Grandma is not feeling well. Someone, please call a doctor!"
Hallie and Penny were both reproaching Alicia in unison. Although Mr. Clements and the rest of the
Clements family were silent the whole time, their expressions were obviously displeased as well.
They seemed extremely crossed at Alicia!
In an instant, it seemed that Alicia had be the target of criticism. For a long time, she was
unable to defend herself.
For the first time in forever, Frederick didn’t say anything to defend her. Alicia could feel that he was
upset and was ming her for whatever was happening. For a moment, she was being isted and
she felt helpless.
At this time, Mrs. Clements was still coughing nonstop. She waved her hand but she couldn''t say
anything.
As all of them were heading into the ward one after another, Alicia was forced out of the ward. She
wanted to exin to Frederick when he walked past her, but he just gave her a cold shoulder.
She felt wronged, yet she was extremely helpless.
At this time, the doctor was being called over to the ward. When Miranda heard the noisesing
from the ward, she ran back in a hurry.
"Mrs. Clements, what''s wrong?"
As soon as Miranda spoke, Hallie stood up in an instant and spoke coldly.
"Miranda, where the hell have you been? How could you leave your job without serving Grandma
during her mealtime? This b*tch has been serving meat to Grandma every day and she''s about to
kill Grandma by doing so. Did you know that?"
"Miss-"
Just as she was about to say something, Mrs. Clements stopped coughing and roared angrily in an
instant, "Are you cursing me? What kind of attitude was that? How dare you talk to your sister-inw
like that?"

"Mom, Halley is just concerned about you. Why do you always protect an outsider? You should
know who is really the one treating you well. You have to think about it carefully! Don''t judge the
book by its cover!"
As Penny spoke, it was obvious that she was carrying criticisms in her words. She even nced
around and squinted at Alicia!
Mrs. Clements was extremely unhappy and she hit the bed forcefully.
"What are you guys doing? Who do you think you are? It was me who demanded meat for my
meals. What does it have to do with Ally? All of you get out of the way. Alicia,e here!"
She gestured for Alicia toe over. When Alicia got close to the bed, she pulled her to sit on the
bed. Mrs. Clements was holding her hand all the time while she pointed her index finger at each
and everyone in the ward as she voiced with anger.
"Do you think that I don''t know who are the ones who really care about me and who do not? I have
stayed here for so long but none of you, not even my biological children, have taken care of me
every single day. None of you have cleaned my excretes on my behalf or turned me over to clean
my body. Have you ever asked me whether I feel pain or bored? Have any of you talked to me in
the middle of the night?"
Mrs. Clements was extremely furious that her tone was harsh.
"Ally was the one who did all of that for me! Don''t tell me that you are busy. Ally has to work too, yet
she has been doing all her work here! I know that all of you are rich, but so am I. Hiring help for me
does not make any difference. Just because she sends food, doesn''t mean she''s truly concerned
about your health, does it?"
"Ever since I was admitted into the hospital, Alicia was the only one who has been taking care of
me. She even signed the papers for me to have an operation. If I have ced my trust in you, I
would have been dead already! I was the one who wanted to eat meat. Therefore, if anything
happens, I am the one to me. No one is allowed to reprimand Ally!"
Hallie didn''t expect Mrs. Clements to be so protective of Alicia. Hence, Hallie gritted her teeth and
retorted, "Grandma, you must have been brainwashed by her! She is here to hurt you!"
"You, shut up! You are my granddaughter and yet you have never even peeled an apple for me.
Whenever you are here, you would go on your phone in less than two minutes! Do you think I''m
blind? You didn''t even do anything but you still want to pick on her. If anyone of you is going to
me Ally, you have to clean my excretes for a month first. Then, only you can have the right to say
anything. Otherwise, just shut your mouth!"
"Grandma, don''t be angry. It will hurt you..."
Feeling consoled that Mrs. Clements was defending her, Alicia kept patting Mrs. Clements'' back.
However, she still couldn''t help but interrupt.
At this time, Miranda couldn''t bear to see what was happening. Hence, she chipped in with her
remarks.
"Sir, Madam, you have misunderstood this! Mrs. Clements didn''t eat meat. She only consumed
different kinds of mushrooms. Miss nchard noticed that Mrs. Clements was in a bad mood and
didn''t want to eat anything but meat. Therefore, she was afraid that it would affect her recovery. She
was also afraid that Mrs. Clements would be suspicious of it. Thus, she purposely told me to leave
the room in order to deceive her. She used mushrooms and disguised them as meat. She even
used meat broth to replicate the vor of the meat. In fact, her n was to let Mrs. Clements have
more vegetables. That was why she came up with this idea."
"If you don''t believe it, you can have a closer look at the food. It''s all made with mushrooms. We
have already asked for the doctor''s permission. He told us that Mrs. Clements can have some light
broth. Miss nchard made many attempts and I have tested them numerous times. We only
brought it over for Mrs. Clements after making sure it was perfect!"
After Miranda finished speaking, everyone''s face turned red as they were embarrassed by their
actions. Mrs. Clements was deeply touched as she held Alicia''s hand.
"I didn''t even know that it wasn''t meat! I am so sorry, Ally, for troubling you like this!"
At this moment, Frederick''s gaze had changed dramatically when he looked at Alicia.
At this time, the attending physician also flipped through the medical report and spoke.
"Yes, in terms of diet, Miss nchard did ask me about it specifically! I think it''s just a
misunderstanding! The patient''s medical report hase out and she has recovered in all aspects.
Everything looks good! She can go through the discharge formalities now! In the future, she still has
to pay attention to her diet. It still needs to be light and bnced. Of course, she can finally have
some meat!"
