Chapter 871 Amy Is Angry


    Allen sat close to Doris and held her hand while trying to calm her down by saying, "Doris, please don''t


    be upset. You saw what just happened. We are in some trouble now. But as soon as we solve all these


    problems, mom will give you all the money she has promised. Isn''t that right, mom?"


    Doris shook his hand off impatiently and turned to Peggy. "Aunt Peggy, it''s not that I want the money


    now. But those horrible people really scared me. I am going to give birth to a baby. How can I do it


    without any money? I hope you can understand."


    "Doris, please..." Allen tried to stop her. But Doris snapped back at him, "Shut up, Allen! Stay out of


    this."


    Allen stared at Doris in shock. She was stern and cold towards him. He had never seen this side of her


    before. Doris then turned back to Peggy, who was also staring at her, but with anger in her eyes.


    "You seriously want to discuss this, right now?" asked Peggy frowning. ''Those people just left and this


    woman wants to add fuel to the fire, '' she thought.


    "Yes, let''s talk about it," said Doris smiling. "How about this? You give me the bank card and I withdraw


    the money by myself, which could save you some trouble. What do you think?"


    Peggy rejected her with a sneer, "No! I said I''ll give you the money, and I will keep my word! You''re


    really making me sick, for asking for it now!"


    Peggy gave Doris a loathsome look, then stood up and said to Allen, "I''m going out. You stay here and


    be careful."


    Peggy left without saying another word to Doris. She was going to find Sheryl and make her pay for


    this.


    Peggy barged into the hospital, full of rage. But when she went to the ward, she found that Sue had


    already been discharged. Now, even more furious, she headed directly to the Zhao family house.


    After returning home with Sue. Sheryl surprised Amy with the news, that Sue was carrying a baby.


    Amy was so excited and soothed her in a caring tone, "Sue, honey. Just rx and rest. Don''t worry


    about the baby. I am going to take good care of you and make you a wonderful mommy."


    "Oh, thank you very much, Grandma Amy," she said touched by Amy''s kindness.


    Sheryl nced at them with a smile. "Sue, you must be tired. Why don''t you go upstairs for a nap? I''ll


    help grandma with the lunch."


    "Well, I can help too," Sue said smiling back. Even though she was pregnant, she felt guilty to just lie


    around and do nothing. She could always help with something small, like washing the vegetables and


    things like that.


    However, Amy stopped her instantly, "Oh, no. You go and lie down. The baby is still weak. I will get


    Sheryl to bring your lunch to you upstairs. Honey, just go get some sleep."


    Hearing her sweet words, Sue felt a wave of warmth oveing her.


    But at the same time, she had a sense of sorrow. It was the very first time, that she felt cared about by


    someone and they weren''t even her family. Her own mother and brother treated her so badly and only


    brought her grief. How ironic!


    Sue couldn''t help but feel a little envious of Sheryl. ''How nice it would be if I too had such a loving


    family?'' she thought.


    "Sheryl, Sue. Come out!" Suddenly the sound of a woman''s angry voice interrupted her thoughts. She


    paused for a moment and then realized it was her mother yelling outside the front door.


    She frowned and raised herself to get up from the sofa to open the door. But Sheryl clutched onto her


    arm to stop her. "What are you doing?"


    "I am going to see what she wants," she answered full of guilt. "Sheryl, my living here has already


    inconvenienced you. I don''t want her to cause any trouble for you."


    "No, Sue. Don''t go." Sheryl wouldn''t release her grip on her arm. "You''re pregnant and so weak now.


    What if she does something to harm you? You can''t risk the safety of your baby. Just go upstairs and


    let me handle this."


    "No, Sheryl," Sue said protesting, "I can''t let you go through this..."


    "Sue, it''s okay. Let Sheryl go. She can handle this," Amy said interrupting her. "I''ve heard about your


    mother. She wouldn''t care if she hurt you. Don''t worry, we''ll take care of this. You just go get some


    rest."


    "But..." Sue was still struggling and wanted to say something, but Sheryl stopped her, "Sue, rx. I


    know what she hase for. Trust me. I can handle this."


    They were both so insistent to not let her face her mother. Sue had no choice but to listen and with a


    feeling of dread she went upstairs. Sheryl waited until Sue disappeared out of sight and then asked the


    maid, who was patiently waiting by the door to let her in.

    As soon as Peggy heard the door unlock, she barged in with such a force that she knocked the poor


    maid to the side. Peggy rudely stormed into the house and scanned the room trying to find Sue. But,


    when she saw that Sue wasn''t there she became even angrier and yelled out, "Where is Sue? I want to


    see her!"


    "What is this lunatic doing here?" Amy asked raising her voice while giving Peggy a cold stare. Sheryl


    was even startled by Amy''s outburst. Amy was usually an easy-going and amiable type ofdy. But


    when it came to protecting the ones that she cared about, she would show her tough side and


    she wanted to protect Sue.


    "Grandma, she is Sue''s mother," said Sheryl in a quiet calm tone, which was in sharp contrast to


    Peggy''s wrath.


    Sheryl looked at Peggy and asked, "Aunt Peggy, what brings you here? Why are you so angry? What


    has happened to you?"


    "What happened to me? You know what happened to me," Peggy said using her. "If you didn''t want


    to loan me the money, why didn''t you just say, no! Why would you go to an usurer and give him the IOU


    note? What did you mean by doing that?"


    Just as Sheryl had suspected, Peggy was here for the usury thing.


    But she came sooner than Sheryl had expected.


    Sheryl smiled with calmness, "Aunt Peggy, what you''ve done to Sue is uneptable. She is my friend.


    I won''t let anyone hurt her. Now that you''re here, let''s make things clear. Firstly, you hogged Sue''s


    apartment and kicked her out. That was unforgivable. What kind of mother would do that to her own


    daughter? But, now that Sue is living here, well, I''m going to let that one pass.


    Then you were going to burden her with all the expenses from Allen''s wedding. That was crazy. Not to


    mention, she didn''t have that much money in the first ce. It''s not her responsibility to pay for his


    wedding. That will never happen."


    Sheryl smiled coolly and continued, "Then, you came to me for all this money. But I either didn''t have


    that much to give you. So I went to find some usury. I was just trying to help you. Plus, you''re the one


    that signed the IOU, which I didn''t force you to. So it''s your responsibility to pay the money back, not


    mine." She paused briefly for a moment and then continued, "Aunt Peggy, are we clear now?"


    "Rubbish!" Peggy couldn''t think of anything to say back in her defense and she didn''t want to waste her


    time arguing. So she just insisted on seeing Sue instead. "Where is Sue? Get her out here at once! I


    can''t believe what kind of evil she has befriended."


    "She doesn''t feel well. She is sleeping," said Sheryl still remainingposed. "I''m afraid she won''t be


    able to see you."


    "Are you not permitting me to see her?" Peggy snorted with anger, "She is my daughter. I can see her


    whenever I want to. You have no right to stand in the way. Just let her out."


    "She is really weak now. I''m not lying."


    "You''re lying. She is just trying to avoid me," said Peggy furiously.


    "Don''t you remember, you dearest son just hit her? Thanks to him, she almost had a miscarriage. She


    needs to rest now. Do you understand?" Amy said in a low threatening tone, while she red


    resentfully at Peggy.
