The two fell into silence once again.

Aveline had arranged a private room for Annie at the tso she could recover in peace. Now, there was a middle-aged couple standing outside the door of the room.
The woman was banging on the door forcefully, shouting loudly.
The nurses and security guards nearby were trying to calm her down, but she wouldn't listen.
"Annie, you worthless girl, get out here right now! Didn't you say you were going to tutor someone? Why are you at the hospital? Did you do something shameful and get beaten up by someone's wife, so you ended up here? You little tramp, open this door, and I'll beat you to death today for being so shameless!" The woman's words were harsh and vulgar, without a thought that she was talking about her own daughter. "What do you think you're doing?" Aveline walked over and pulled the woman away, her face as cold as ice as she looked at her.
"Who are you? I'm disciplining my daughter. What's it to you? You'd better get lost!" The woman's attitude was arrogant, assuming Aveline was just another busybody. She had already scared off a few with her shouting before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAveline replied in a cold voice, "I arranged for Annie to stay here. Her arm is broken, and she needs proper hospital care to recover. This is a public place. If you keep making a scene, I'll call the police." Hearing this, the woman's eyes darted around, and she asked, "Why are you being so good to her? And how did her arm get broken? Was it you who hit her?" Aveline nodded. "Yes, it was me. But she's almost recovered now." The woman immediately raised her voice. "Almost recovered? It's a fracture! As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone! Younot only have to cover her hospital and medical expenses but also cher emotional distress and the wages she's lost from being unable to work during this time. In total, you must compensate ten thousand dollars! You hit my daughter, so you have to pay up!" She stretched her hand out toward Aveline, displaying a shameless and rogue demeanor. Aveline finally saw it clearly-this pair of parents had been draining Annie dry all along.
Demanding ten thousand dollars just like that, without even asking how serious Annie's injury was or how well she was recovering.
Aveline's gaze grew even colder. "I hit Annie, and she has the right to decide how to handle the compensation. We've already agreed that I would only cover her hospital expenses during her stay." "What right does she have? I'm the one who gave birth to her, so I decide how the compensation is handled! Ten thousand dollars, not a penny tess, or I'll sue you!" The middle-aged woman's attitude was overbearing.
With ten thousand dollars, she could pay for her son's university tuition!
Aveline responded coldly, "Even if it's about compensation, there's no way I'm giving it to you. This is between her and me."
Hearing this, the woman immediately began rolling up her sleeves, and the or middle-aged man beside her did the same, both looking fierce and intimidating. "So, you refuse to listen, huh? What
do you mean it's between you and her? I'm the one who gave birth to her, so her business is mine! Either you givethe money now, ofl'll sue you for causing intentional harm!"
