NovelEnglishWhile Charlie and Jacob hurriedly made their way to the hospital, Claire had already arrived. When both the men arrived at the ward, Elaine was holding Claire's hand, crying pitifully. Claire was constantly wiping her tears while feeling a tug in her heartstrings.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPlus, after Elaine was taken out by Albert's men, she was directly sent to the hospital. Charlie did not manage to see her face either.
Now, seeing Elaine in person with a bluish-black nose and a swollen face, with a patch of missing hair on her forehead, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Oh my... My mother-in-law is in quite a bad shape. It was indeed an unforeseen circumstance that put her in this state. Who would have thought that Carmen would really go after her?" Seeing Charlie's arrival, Elaine, who was aggrieved, finally found someone to express her feelings of being wrong too. "My good son-in-law, I'm just feeling so miserable..." As she spoke, she broke out in tears again and had difficulty breathing.
Charlie hurriedly stepped forward and pretended to be concerned as he asked, "Mother, what happened to you?" Elaine waved her hand and wiped her tears. "Oh, don't talk about it... please just don't remindof it; talking about it is just going to makecry more bitter tears..." Jacob looked at her current condition and found it rather difficult to laugh at. He just stood there by himself without uttering a single word.
Elaine glanced at him and asked, furious. "Jacob! What are you doing here?" Jacob quickly replied, "You're askingwhat am I doing here? Of course, I'm here to visit you!" "Visit me?" Elaine growled. "You're here to laugh at me, right?! To make a joke out of me, right?!" Jacob hummed in his mind. 'You are right, but I can't admit that...' 1 He could only reply in an embarrassed tone. "What are you talking about? Even if we're separated and about to be divorced, we still lived half of our lives together. Seeing you being bullied by others like this, my heart still hurts." Elaine rolled her eyes then glared at him. "Heartache? Don't makebarf. Do you think I wouldn't know what your true thoughts are? Deep down inside, you wished that I would be crippled forever!" 5 Jacob was taken aback as he did not anticipate Elaine being able to guess his thoughts so accurately, but he did not have the guts to give any response. 2 Fortunately, Claire, who was by Elaine's side, spoke u p. "Mother, don't argue with Father anymore. He cto visit you out of concern." Elaine scoffed and replied grimly. "I do not need his concern." After saying that, she looked at Charlie and said with a bitter look. "My good son-in-law, this time, I was screwed by the sgroup of MLM people. I'm really getting terrible luck. Now, I might need to be in this plaster for a few months. Not only will I be unable to cook for you, but I won't be able to go anywhere in the near future. These next few days to cwill definitely be depressing..." 1 Charlie understood what Elaine meant.
He immediately said aloud, "Mother, don't worry. In that case, I'll cook dinner later. I'll also transfer am ve hundred thousand dollars of pocket money to you. If you're really bored, just get sonline shopping done Just do something to kill time." 4 Elaine was immediately moved when she heard this.
