Elaine cried and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. The MLM organization took revenge on me. They grabbedand bludgeonedup... I lost shair, and I broke my legs..." 1 "What?!" Claire cried out in shock. "Did you make a police report?" Elaine continued sobbing. "I already did. The police officer has already apprehended them. Please just cto visitas soon as possible." Claire quickly asked, "Which hospital? I will head over there right now." Elaine choked, "I'm at the Aurous Hill Orthopedics Hospital, cquickly..." Claire tried to keep her composure. "Alright. Hang in there and wait for me, mom. I'll be right there." Claire hung up and immediately sped off to the hospital. As she was driving, she called Charlie.
Charlie, meanwhile, had just reached hand was casually watching tv in the living room.
Jacob, his father-in-law, had just returned as well. He was preparing to brew a pot of tea so he and Charlie could both enjoy a drink.
Charlie received Claire's call, and deep down, he already knew what was happening. Nonetheless, he feigned ignorance. "My dear wife, are you off work?" 2 Claire impatiently replied, "Husband, where are you now?" Charlie replied casually, "I'm at home." Claire continued quizzing, "What about father?" "Father is home, too; he just got back." Claire bit her lip and asked anxiously. "Can you and father please drive to the Orthopedics hospital now? Mother has been admitted to the hospital! I'm heading there now. Let's meet at the hospital." 3 Charlie pretended to be shocked. "What?! Mother's admitted again? What happened?" Claire began sobbing. "Mother has been targeted by the MLM organization. Those people took revenge on her and broke her legs. I don't really know the details s 0 I'll have to go over and see her first." Charlie replied in a jiffy, "No problem, then I will head over with Father." "Alright, we meet at the hospital then." Jacob, who was brewing his tea, heard the news and asked in surprise. "Charlie, what's the matter?" 1 Charlie replied in a sober tone. "Mother got targeted by an MLM organization and they broke her legs. She's in the hospital now. Let's go over and see her."
Jacob put down everything he was doing and looked at Charlie, om extremely shocked. "Elaine's leg is broken again?! For real?!" Charlie replied awkwardly, "Father, why do I sense a tinge of happiness from you?" s
Jacob replied gravely, "Charlie, it's reasonable to say that I really shouldn't be gloating, but when m think about Elaine's legs in plaster and crutches, I have that inexplicable urge to burst out in laughter... Isn't it a bit evil to think that way? Hahaha..." 5
Charlie shook his head helplessly. "So you do know that you're evit. when you meet mother later, please don't burst out in laughter." Jacob nodded. "Don't you worry, I'm capable of holding it back." 3 X
