Chapter 201
Madam Langford was rushed into the emergency room as soon as possible. Samuel and his family also appeared in the hallway right at that moment. “What’s going on? Didn’t you say Madam Langford’s condition has stabilized? How did this happen?”
Mrs. Langford shouted at the doctors, enraged. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
The doctors explained helplessly, “Mrs. Langford… According to Madam Langford’s recent condition, her health has indeed stabilized. However, we also have to take account of Madam Langford’s age. It’s common to have a recurrence at night…”
Mrs. Langford, who was still unconvinced, caught Tina sitting on the chair from the corner of her eyes.
“You! It’s all because of you and your dirty tricks again that Old Mrs. Langford is sick again! Isn’t that right?!”
Without waiting, she gave Tina a slap on the face right after finishing her sentence. Tina’s face was swollen, a bright red palm mark staining her cheek immediately after the slap struck her.
She felt weakness taking over her body and tried to explain softly, “It’s not me. I have no idea why this happened, either…”
“If anything happened to Madam Langford, you’ll have to pay the price! Even if it means your death!” Mrs. Langford snarled.
Tina was not in the mood to argue, as she was preoccupied with Madam Langford’s critical condition.
But if killing her was what was needed to save Madam Langford, Tina was willing to do it. “Get out of my sight! You don’t deserve to be here!” Mrs. Langford said scornfully. Tina bit her lip. She didn’t want to leave so easily, but she knew she shouldn’t be going against Mrs. Langford for the time being. The sight of Tina walking away helplessly frustrated Samuel, for some reason. However, now wasn’t the time to dwell on that. Nothing was more important than Grandma Langford’s health.
“Samuel, don’t tell me that you still care for her? She’s having multiple affairs at the same time! That’s the reason your grandmother’s condition got worse. Don’t ever forgive her!”
Mrs. Langford’s words reminded Samuel about Tina’s awful misdeeds. His remaining bit of empathy vanished as he promptly said, “Of course.” “That’s good!” Mrs. Langford was delighted. Immediately after that, Samuel asked, “How’s Cindy?”
“She’s been staying in the mansion all day long, but she’s been suffering from nightmares and sleep deprivation. You should fulfill your responsibilities as a husband and take good care of her, Samuel.”
When Mrs. Langford spoke of Cindy, her tone softened significantly as she lectured Samuel. Samuel was quickly reminded of the baby that Cindy was carrying. He had seen the report. The baby was almost 3 months old. The doctor also exhorted that Cindy had a weak body, and that she should be taken care of well. At the thought of Cindy having to bear his child with that weak body of hers, guilt stabbed Samuel.

“I’ll take note of that.” Mrs. Lanford nodded her head with satisfaction. “That’s more like it.” On the other side, Tina went to the lounge after being chased away. Despite feeling tired both mentally and physically, she didn’t dare to close her eyes still as she didn’t want to miss any news regarding Madam Langford… Ring! Ring! All of a sudden, her phone was ringing. That gave Tina a shock, but she later realized that it was from an unknown number. Who would call her at this hour?
Feeling confused, she picked up the call. “Miss Lynd, it’s me. Victor Miller.” “Victor?” Tina was even more confused. “Why did you call me?”
