Normally, Laurs would have argued back, but with the old man lying in the hospital, she just didn’t have the energy.
Though she could endure, Bert stepped in front of her protectively.
“Third sister–in–law, who are you pointing at?
He stared coldly at Wendy, his dark eyes so piercing that they sent chilla down your spine.
Because of his movement, Wendy’s finger was pointing directly at his chest.
Wendy quickly retracted her hand, awkwardly saying “It’s Laura…”
“She’s my wife. As family, I don’t think you should be calling her by her first name, right?”
Bert interrupted her, that third sister–in–law doesn’t even understand basic etiquette, or does third sister–in–law not consider herself a part of our Higgins family at all?”
Hearing this, Wendy’s entire face changed.
Because the was so focused on helping her own family, Barry often scolded her for not considering herself a Higgins family member
For her, this kind of questioning was the most hurtful.
After Wendy shut her mouth, Bert fumed to face the fourth sister–in–law.
The fourth sister–in–law suddenly shuddered.
“Fourth sister–in–law, your husband is a

if she could control the vixens around her husband, she wouldn’t have let him change women more often than clothes
When Bert looked at the eldest sister–in–law, she quickly raised her hands before he could speak, “Bert, I didn’t say anything.”
She couldn’t wait to distance herself from the situation,
Her only precious son had gone into trouble, and only Bert could handle it. She couldn’t afford to offend this formidable figure

Bert didn’t even bother to say a word to her, directly instructing the bodyguards.

Wendy stamped her foot ready to chase after her.
Her sister–in–law stopped her in time, “Barry’s wife, Dad is about to wake up

The door to the ward opened at that moment, and the doctors filed out
Before they could even exit, led by the eldest sister in law, Wendy and the others rushed inside, scrambling to be the first person Old Master Higgins saw upon waking up
On the other hand, Bert and Lauri, who had been quinding the word all along were left behind.
Dad, you’re finally awake, I was so worried about you, wash.
“Thank God, you finally heard my prayers and let Dad wake up. I was about to cry myself to death,

The sisters in law chattered non–stop, each adding their own comments.
Old Master Higgins, who had just woken up, was still feeling dizzy and overwhelmed by their noise.
Laurs, noticing his discomfort, frowned and spoke up. “Can you all spread out a bit? And please be quiet, this is a hospital room.”
“Are we bothering you by showing concern for Dad’s health?”
Her words made the sisters in law unite against her.
“But you’re making it hard for Dad to breathe and rest,” Laura said again, opening the window slightly.

Though reluctant, the sisters–in–law slowly left after hearing the old man’s words.
Wendy deliberately bumped into Laura, saying, “You’re asked to leave too.”
But before Wendy could touch Laura, Bert pulled Laura to his
Wendy wasn’t paying attention and almost tripped, making a fool of herself.
“Laura and the rascal stay, I have something to say, Old Master Higgins suddenly announced.
Jealousy flashed across the faces of the sisters in law.
Wendy and the fourth sister–in–law glared at Laura even more fiercely.
Once everyone was out, Bert closed the door behind them,
The sisters–in–law who had intended to eavesdrop were left speechless.
They almost had their noses crushed by the door.

Laura obediently est down and poured a glass of water for him,
Old Master Higgins felt much better after drinking the water.
“Laura is still the most thoughtful. All they do is argue, not even offering this old man a sip of water,” he sighed deeply

“Really not getting a divorce?”
ly, Old Master Higgins was still skeptical, his eyes shifting between their faces.
