Chapter 122


    The next morning, Carlos didn’t show up. He called me and said he was taking Bianca to school and


    asked his mom to bring me breakfast.


    He even instructed me not to get angry with my mother-inw, saying that although her words were


    harsh, she meant well and wasn’t a bad person.


    Not long after I hung up the phone, the door opened and my mother-inw appeared in the doorway


    carrying a bottle.


    thermal.


    The look she gave me when she saw me was still one of displeasure, and she looked very reluctant,


    making it clear that she was still mad at me. It must have been Victoria who cooked breakfast, and


    Carlos probably had his mother deliver the food to me to ease the tension between us.


    Although my mother-inw was arrogant with me, she was always very submissive to Carlos.


    I smile at her. “Mom, you are here.”


    Perhaps seeing my smiling face made her feel better, as her expression became more rxed as


    well. “Your waist


    it’s better?”


    “It is much better now.”


    “It was just a twist in the waist. You just needed to rest at home. Why would you stay in such an


    expensive ward?” she murmured.


    It looked like Carlos hadn’t told her about my ‘pregnancy, but I wasn’t in the mood to argue with her. “I


    don’t want to stay here either, but Carlos insisted.”


    “This is Carlos showing his concern for you. You must show concern for him as well. He’s been busy


    these days and has been going back and forth between the hospital and the house. As his mother, this


    is really distressing for me.”


    What she implied was that I didn’t feel sorry for Carlos, but I really didn’t care. “Mom, I will be


    discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning. If I really want to, I can also be discharged tonight.”

    When she heard me say that, her expression lightened a lot. “Linda, I didn’t mean what I said that


    day. Please don’t take this personally.”


    “My attitude was also bad. I hope you don’t me me.” I also went with the flow.


    Seeing that I was once again that well-behaved and docile daughter-inw, my mother-inw was very


    pleased. “Linda, I hear that Carlos’pany is in trouble. Do you know what is happening?”


    “No, I don’t know. He didn’t tell me.”


    “Oh, my silly boy. Always hiding everything inside your heart and carrying it alone for fear of being a


    burden to you. You are his wife. Haven’t you noticed that he looks constantly tired?” she told me,


    obviously lecturing me.


    “I asked him about it, but he said it was nothing.


    “Anything? I heard hispany lost a 100 million contract. Apparently, thepany lost the contract to


    someone named Ribeiro.”


    “Henriques Ribeiro?” I asked curiously.


    “Yes, that’s right! Henriques Ribeiro. He and Carlos didn’t have any feuds between them, so why did he


    steal Carlos’ business? I heard from Joana that Ribeiro is extraordinarily rich. It’s not like one less thing


    will kill you, my mother-inwined. It seemed that Henriques Ribeiro should hand everything to


    his son on a tter.


    “Yes, that Ribeiro is really hateful.”


    “Linda, do you know him?”


    “I am not.”


    *How can you not know someone that even Joana knows?” My mother-inw didn’t believe me. “I


    heard Joana say that this hospital is managed by his family. If I find him, I’ll definitely ask him why she


    terminated her contract with


    my son.”
