Sulia Silver looked around the room at the others present before her eyes finally landed on her son in bed. “Such a big thing happened and yet you did not think to tell me and your father?”
“Even if I didn’t call you, someone would have informed you.” The corners of Gabriel’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
Sulia didn’t care about his tone. “I heard about what happened this time. You were too impulsive. No matter what, you shouldn’t have risked your own life-” “If you’re here to teach me a lesson, you might as well not come,” said Gabriel, interrupting her in a tone devoid of respect.
Sulia’s expression changed slightly. There were outsiders present, yet he didn’t seem to care.
Serenity decided to step in as she said, “Mom, don’t misunderstand. I’m very happy that you came to see him. You know his temper very well. It’s just that he can be a bit cold sometimes.”
Unfortunately, Sulia didn’t ease up. Mrs. Winstead had called the main residence to inform the Master and Madam of the Young Master and Young Madam’s hospitalization. Right after, Sulia called Caleb to get a better explanation of what happened.
Even though Caleb didn’t reveal too many details either, Sulia could tell that Gabriel was injured because of Serenity.
“Madam Jones, it’s already happened. Please don’t blame the children,” said Helena amiably.
But Sulia was slightly disgusted by how friendly Helena sounded when the latter addressed her. It was evident in Sulia’s frown. Still, as someone from a scholarly family, she knew better than to directly confront the situation. “Madam Rivers, you should understand how a mother feels when faced with such a situation.”
Based on Sulia’s tone, Helena knew Sulia was offended. She felt a little awkward for a moment before saying, “You’re right, Madam Jones.”
Sulia didn’t respond.
Gabriel’s eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly.
Selena checked the time and quickly said, “Serene, President Jones, I have a meeting at three so I’ll be taking my leave with Mom.”
“I’ll send you guys off.” Serenity smiled.
When Helena passed by Sulia, she wanted to wish the other goodbye. But the sight of the latter’s cold expression told her that it was better to remain silent. In the end, Helena didn’t say anything and walked straight out of the ward.
Serenity walked her family to the hospital entrance. Helena Turner asked, “Did you return to the Jones family’s main residence with him?”
“Two days ago.” Serenity nodded.
“Do his parents approve of you marrying into the Jones family?” asked Helena as she recalled Sulia Silver’s attitude.
Serenity pursed her lips and remained silent.
Selena also kept quiet. Helena sighed softly and said, “In the end, it’s us who have to watch out step around the Jones family. Why were you so muddle-headed to have registered your marriage with him without getting the approval of his family first?”
Sulia’s had been rather indifferent towards Helena, remaining uprightly formal with the latter so far. Serenity lowered her head and apologized. “Mom, I’m sorry for making you suffer.”
“This little grievance is nothing. As long as you can live happily, you really shouldn’t have…” Helena immediately realized that there was no point in speaking any further so she just let her words trail off. “You should visit the Jones family’s main residence more often and try to get closer to them.”
“Yes, Mom.” Serenity nodded.
After Helena and Selena left, Serenity returned to the ward with a heavy heart. Sulia Silver and Mrs. Preston were still there. She called out to Sulia again. “Mom.” But Sulia did not respond. Serenity paid no mind to it and poured a glass of water for Sulia before sitting by the bed..
