Chapter 217


    As I mulled over the matter, I arrived at my home. After parking my car in the garage, I grabbed my


    purse and entered the elevator. Opening the door, I heardughtering from the room. Jolene was


    sitting on the couch next to my mother-inw and sister-inw,ughing as they talked.


    Hearing the sound of the door opening. Eliza turned and rudely asked, “Finally back now?”


    This kind of rude questioning used to happen in the past, but I was really upset about it that day. I


    admitted that seeing Jolene sitting here and having fun with my mother-inw and sister-inw touched


    a nerve.


    Though I ignored her, Eliza didn’t feel the least bit embarrassed. Instead, she got up and stopped


    me. “Lilian, what were you doing at the hospital today?”


    I looked at her in surprise. How did Eliza know about my trip to the hospital?


    Before I could speak, my mother-inw immediately intervened: “What? Lilian didn’t go to work? How


    did she end up in the hospital?”


    “I saw her with my own eyes, so how could I be wrong? She was with a man at the time, and they


    quickly got out of the car and rushed to the hospital.”


    “With a man?” My mother-inw squealed, the expression in her eyes changing as she looked at


    me. “Are you sure you saw her?”


    “Of course I’m sure. The man was even holding her hand. I saw it clearly.” Confident that I had some

    dirt on me, Eliza aggressively questioned me, “Lilian, who was that man?”


    Her voice was very loud, so even Carson could hear her from the kitchen. So he came out and


    admonished, “Eliza, why are you talking so loudly?”


    “Carson, I saw Lilian and a man holding hands at the hospital today. I just want to hear her


    exnation.”


    “You must be mistaken. Why would Lily hold another man’s hand?” Even though Carson said that, his


    eyes still turned to me. Eliza had obviously informed him of this before I returned, so he was clearly


    waiting for my exnation.


    I looked at Eliza with disgust. “Eliza, are you interrogating me?”


    “How is this an interrogation? Lilian, you are a married woman. Can’t I even ask why you were holding


    hands with another man?” Eliza fired back.


    “Of course, you can ask, but whether I want to answer is up to me. What can you do if I refuse to say


    anything?”


    This was the first time I had spoken to Eliza in such a disgusted tone, leaving her so shocked that she


    jumped off the couch. “Carson, look at her! What kind of attitude is that?”


    “Yes, what kind of attitude is that? Eliza can’t even ask her a question?” my mother-inw chimed in.
