Chapter 30


    “ The housekeeper is off duty , so she went home .”


    “ Did you go home ? Why did she go home ? _ My sister-in-


    h a time ?  _


    “ Why not ? _ Isabel scoffed . _ “ Are you saying that Linda has to ask your permission before giving th


    e housekeeper time off ? ”


    His tone was stern , leaving Pam momentarily stunned . She then instinctively looked away to the be


    d , only to see me lying there , motionless . As she was no match for Isabel , she had no choice but to e


    xin herself , saying _: “ That ‘s not what I meant . _ It’s just that mom and dad have n’t even had bre


    akfast at this time ”


    It seemed her parents would n’t have food if there was n’t a maid in the


    house. Isabel was n’t me , so she naturally wouldn’t let this matter go . “ Pam , you ‘re not a


    child anymore , are you ? Don’t tell me you ca n’t even prepare thebreakfast for your parents ? _ _ ”


    “Er … ” Pam stammered , not knowing how to


    respond . When she poked her head into my room and saw me still unresponsive , she finally realized s

    “ Oh , are you worried about Linda ? Does anyone in


    this family really treat you decently ? Isabel looked at her coldly . “ Linda owes a debt to her family or s


    omething that she is bullied and mistreated by her family , so much so that sheAre

    that time . Probably suspecting it was all pretense on my part , she dashed into the room.with an extre


    mely worried expression . Isabel didn’t stop her either , allowing her to approach my bedside . When Pa


    m looked at me , she asked , “ Beautiful , how are you feeling ? ” “ My head hurts … I feel nauseous


    _ _… and I’m weak from the fever , ” I replied weakly .


    Upon hearing my words , Pam immediately ced her hand on my forehead , and the heat radiating


    from me visibly stunned her for a moment . _ Obviously , it never crossed her mind that I might be reall


    y sick . She then looked atElizabeth immediately . “ Miss Lima , did


    you tell my brother that Linda is sick ?”


    “ Is your brother not busy with work ? _ How could he still have the


    energy to worry about his wife ? Isabel scoffed . “ When he married her , he swore he would love Linda


    , but what happened now ? _ nobody really cares _when she is sick ! ”


    Coughing lightly , I


    mumbled weakly , “ Isabel ! Don’t say that . Carlos is just busy , but he ‘s really good to me .  ”


    “ Stop making excuses for him . Men are all idiots , and I ‘ve seen enough toe to that conclusion . ”


    As she spoke , Isabel picked up her cell phone and called again . “ Why are n’t they here yet ? _ ”


    As she spoke,


    the doorbell rang . Pam didn’t dare confront Isabel anymore , so she ran and opened the door . As


    soon as the door opened , several people rushed in . All these people worked with Isabel ‘s family , and


    Isabel then _ _he advised to help me to get up and send me to the hospital .


    As themotion was really too loud to be ignored , my father-


    in-w could not continue hiding in his room . So he opened the door and walked


    out with mock surprise on his face . “ What ‘s going on here ? Is Linda sick ?”
