Jacob also came back, and he was about to make a pot of tea and have a drink with Charlie.
Charlie received a call from Claire, already knowing what was going on, but still pretending not to know, he asked, “My wife, are you off work?”
Claire hurriedly said, “Husband, where are you?”
Charlie casually said: “I’m at home.”
Claire asked again: “Where is Dad?”
Charlie said, “Dad is also at home and just came back.”
Claire hurriedly said, “Then you and dad should drive to the orthopedic hospital! Mom, she is in the hospital! I’m driving there too, see you at the hospital!”
Charlie pretended to be surprised and asked, “What? Did mom go to the hospital again? What’s the matter?”
Claire said with a bit of sobbing, “Mom, she was retaliated by the people from the MLM organization. Those people broke her leg, but don’t know the specifics, so I have to go there!”
Charlie said hurriedly: “That’s OK! Then dad and I will go out and rush over!”
“Okay, see you in the hospital!”
Jacob was preparing to make tea. Hearing this, he asked in surprise, “Charlie, what’s the matter?”
Charlie said: “The people of the MLM organization retaliated against mom, and the leg is broken. She is at the hospital, let us go there!”
Jacob asked in surprise: “Elaine’s leg is broken again?! What you said is true?!”
Charlie said awkwardly, “Dad, how do I think about what you mean? You seem quite happy…”
Jacob said seriously: “Charlie, it is reasonable to say that I really shouldn’t be gloating, but when I think about Elaine’s legs in plaster and crutches, I just want to laugh inexplicably…… Isn’t it a bit unkind to say that, but hahaha…”
Charlie shook his head helplessly: “You also know that you are not kind. When you see mom later, don’t laugh.”
Noah nodded: “Don’t worry, I can hold it back.”
After that, he hurriedly put down the tea set and urged: “My son-in-law, let’s go quickly, I can’t wait to see how terrible she is now!”
