Chapter 129 - Mike Deals With Julia

"Don't worry. I'll go with you."

Scarlett looked at him gratefully and did not refuse.

Julia's wound was not too deep and she just needed a simple stitch. Her life wouldn't be in danger.

During this process, Scarlett had been staying outside and Mike had been silently keeping her company.

He seemed to feel her weakness and kept holding her hands.

"Mr. Lauren wants to see you alone," a nurse said to Scarlett.

Scarlett looked at Mike apologetically. Mike waved his hand and indicated that he would wait for her outside the ward.

Mike's kindness made it difficult for Scarlett to play dumbfounded. Scarlett couldn't help but seriously think why Mike was so nice to her.

Mike was a cold-hearted man who would be indifferent to the people whom he didn't take seriously. It was obvious that he was very nice to Scarlett.

In the ward, Julia, who was out of danger, looked sickly.

Julia saw Scarlett come in. A trace of calculating light flashed in Julia's eyes and was quickly restrained by her.

"Mom, why are you so muddle-headed?" Scarlett looked at the bandage on her mother's hand and felt very tired.

She could not remember how many times her mother had committed suicide this year!

"Mom, why are you so muddle-headed?"

Every once in a while, such a play would repeat, and Scarlett felt very tired.

Scarlett felt that her nerve was hanging in the air.

Whenever the nursing home reported that something had happened to her mother, her nerve could relax.

Then she would wonder when the situation would repeat.

Scarlett had changed a nurse for her mother. It was a top-class nurse introduced by Myke.

However, no matter how good a nurse was, it was impossible to take care of Julia at any time.

This time, when the nurse went to the restroom, Julia took the opportunity to break the glass and cut her wrist with pieces.

"If I didn't do this, would you come and see me?"

Scarlett's mother, Julia, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and spoke in a pitiful tone.

Scarlett was physically and mentally exhausted.

"I come here twice a week. Last time, it was you who said I was a demon and did not want to see me."

It was difficult to communicate with a patient. Julia forgot what she said and did.

"You're lying. You just don't want to visit me. You think I'm your burden!"

Julia shouted at Scarlett. All the things around Julia had been removed, so Julia grabbed the pillow and smashed it on Scarlett.

The play repeated.

Julia, who did not even dare to face her own life and was cowardly to everyone except for Scarlett, was using everything she could think of to torture Scarlett.

Scarlett stood straight and endured it silently. Julia hit Scarlett twice, and the drip was misplaced. Julia cried in pain.

"Scarlett, why did you do this to me?"

Scarlett did not say a word and pressed the bell. Soon, a nurse came over to fix Julia's drip.

"I am sorry to trouble you." Julia was very polite to people other than Scarlett.

Scarlett looked out of the window. The window of the nursing home was equipped with a guardrail. From her point of view, it looked like she was locked in a cell while it was the lush green garden outside the ward.

Scarlett was so depressed that she could not breathe.

An unreasonable mother and an illness that could never be cured. Every time Scarlett came over, she would be suppressed for a long time.

When the nurse left, only the mother and daughter were left in the ward. Scarlett saw the undisguised coldness in Julia's eyes.

Scarlett's heart ached. When did her mother no longer look at her with gentle care, but with this kind of hatred?

"Mom, since you are almost recovered, I should go back."

"Scarlett, don't leave me alone. I miss you very much."

Scarlett was almost moved to tears by Julia's words. Scarlett stopped and turned to walk to the bed. Julia patted the bed and motioned Scarlett to sit down.

"Scarlett, are you with Mike again?"

"How do you know?" Scarlett asked.

"Since you two are together, can you help your father and bring what he wants?"

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Scarlett widened her eyes.

Scarlett wondered why Julia knew that Allen had asked her to take Mike's program.

Did it mean that Allen sneaked in during her absence?

The Laurens was too hateful!

"It doesn't matter how I know it. Scarlett, you must help me this time!"

Julia grabbed Scarlett's wrist tightly as if she was grabbing onto a life-saving straw.

Julia's arm was so thin, yet it had tremendous power.

Scarlett was in pain.

"Mom, did Allen ask you to say that?"

"Your dad said that he would take me home as long as you could help him get the things."

The mention of going home excited Julia. Her eyes actually flashed with dreamy color.

Scarlett clenched her fists. "Stealing business secrets is illegal. Once it is exposed, I will be put into jail. Do you not care about it?"

Did it mean that Scarlett was not as important as the bastard Allen in Julia's mind?

"You only need to stay in prison for two or three years. And Allen said that he would spend money to bail you out. Scarlett, for me, you must do it!"

Scarlett felt that her heart was placed in an icehouse when Julia casually said that Scarlett would only stay in the jail for two or three years.

Scarlett had been making money for Julia since she could make money.

Scarlett sacrificed her marriage just to make Julia live better.

For Julia's sake, Scarlett had put down her dignity time and time again.

But now Julia asked Scarlett to do something illegal with such an indifferent attitude!

Scarlett's silence made Julia think that Scarlett was about to agree to help, so Julia continued.

"As long as you do it, I can go home. I only want you to do it this time. It's just a small thing. It won't do much harm to you. Allen said that I can go home if you get it."

Home. What a beautiful word!

"It's impossible for you to go out in this state," Scarlett said in a calm voice.

Scarlett was very depressed now. She kept telling herself that this person in front of her was a patient and that everything she said and did was a morbid reaction.

Scarlett tried to convince herself that Julia didn't truly mean it.

"Scarlett! You devil! Is it not enough that you have harmed me for so many years? I only ask you to do this one thing. Can you not do such a small thing? You are not my daughter. You are not!"

Julia stood up like a madman, ignoring the infusion tube in her hand. She grabbed the mobile infusion rack hanging from the ceiling and wanted to smash Scarlett.

Scarlett did not even have time to dodge when she heard a loud noise behind her. Suddenly, someone pulled her away from behind.

With a loud sound, the metal infusion rack was firmly grabbed, and Scarlett was still in shock.

Mike rushed in from outside, pushed away Scarlett, and stopped Julia.

If it were not for him, Scarlett would have been in trouble.

A few nurses rushed in quickly and tied up Julia, who had gone crazy, with a band that was used to tie up a crazy patient.

"Are you alright?" Mike asked. Scarlett looked frightened.

"Scarlett, you are a child from hell! You don't even make such a small request. You are the devil!" Julia was tied up and the veins on his body were all up.

Looking at Scarlett's shivering shoulders, Mike walked over, picked up the band which would prevent the patient from biting his or her tongue on the nurse's tray, and stuffed Julia's mouth.

The world was quiet.
