Chapter 50
Samuel spotted the car right away and recognized the owner, who was none other than John Carter himself.
Yesterday, Tina was flirting with him. Now, she had already wormed her way into his car. If he didn’t verify her actions with her own eyes, Samuel would’ve thought that Tina was just an innocent woman. Now, however…
“Let her be. She’s just a tool I’m using to please my grandmother. You should stay away from her, Cindy. Nothing good comes from associating with that scheming woman,” Samuel spat in disgust.
“Okay, Samuel. I’ll listen to everything you say,” Cindy replied coyly. When Tina was chatting merrily with Madam Langford, Samuel and Cindy entered the ward. Tina wasn’t a dense person. Noticing the loving couple, she made an attempt to leave the room almost immediately.
“Grandma, I’ll cut some fruits for you. What about you two?”
Cindy took advantage of the situation and ordered Tina around like an entitled mistress.” Tina, wash the apples and cut them into cubes. Then, peel the grapes and remove the seeds. After that, prepare a cup of Americano for Samuel. He can only drink coffee made from freshly ground coffee beans.”
Tina was confused by the lengthy order. Dumbfounded, she stopped in her tracks and asked,” Do I really have to prepare all that?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Cindy was stunned. She was quick to act coy and apologized almost immediately. “I’m sorry, I thought you said you wanted to help. If you don’t want to do all that, you can help in your way.
“No, I didn’t mean it like that,” Tina said, waving her hand awkwardly.
Madam Langford couldn’t stand it anymore. She interjected heatedly, “Tina, you don’t have to do all that. It’s not like you’re a helper. This is a hospital, not a hotel!”
“I’m so sorry, Grandma Langford. I don’t mean to offend anyone.” Cindy looked at Samuel anxiously. “Samuel, what did I do wrong?”
Samuel hated the way his grandmother treated Cindy and tried to explain, “Grandma, Cindy wasn’t the one who started it. You can’t blame her for this.”
“Then are you suggesting that Tina is the one at fault?” Noticing how protective Samuel was over Cindy, Madam Langford grew flustered and angry. “You insolent boy! How dare you defend an outsider? My future granddaughter-in-law is Tina, not that woman!”
“Grandma, I told you before. Cindy’s not an outsider, she’s my sister. I can’t just sit here and do nothing when you’re making things difficult for her.”
“You…” Madam Langford was so angry, she couldn’t catch her breath. Worried, Tina went up to Madam Langford and patted her back slowly. “Grandma, are you okay?”
“I’m alright, but if they keep angering me, it won’t be long before I pass on!” Madam Langford snapped.
Cindy’s eyes turned red as she whispered in fear, “Samuel, have I really done something so wrong? Why does Grandma Langford hate me so much? Maybe I should just leave…”
Samuel glared at Tina. ‘She must’ve been badmouthing Cindy behind our backs. That’s why Grandma hates Cindy so much!’
“Say, Cindy. Didn’t you brew some chicken soup for grandma?” Samuel asked.
Cindy remembered the thermos she brought with her and said carefully, “Grandma, do you want to drink some chicken soup? I brewed it the entire night for you!”
Still stubborn, Madam Langford snarled angrily, “No!”
“Grandma, please,” Tina persuaded in a soft tone. “Chicken soup is good for your health. What’s more, Miss Young made it especially for you!”
Madam Langford was speechless to see Tina speaking up for Cindy. “Tina, you can’t give in that easily!” Helpless, she relented and compromised, “Fine, I’ll drink some.”
Cindy opened the thermos almost instantly.
In fact, she didn’t brew the chicken soup herself. She made a chef from a five-star restaurant prepare the soup instead, in hopes that Madam Langford would view her as a diligent woman who is better suited with Samuel than Tina.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.
