Chapter 8: Put This On to Calm Your Nerves

Before Leo Orlando became a vegetative patient, all the good things in the Orlando family belonged to him, and he always had to come second, picking up whatever was left over. Now, with Leo Orlando in a half-dead state, his company and even his woman were there for him to enjoy.

"Are you openly trying to put a green hat on your own nephew?" How shameless.

Wade Orlando took another step toward Lilith Douglas, who stepped back twice, "Don't come any closer, or else..."

A small woman like her, what could she possibly do to him? Unaware of any danger, Wade Orlando laughed shamelessly and did not stop his advance.

Lilith Douglas spat, "Looking for death."

Suddenly, she lifted her leg and kicked him. Caught off guard, Wade Orlando was sent flying two meters back, landing with an "Ouch."

"You wretched woman, how dare you hit me! See how I deal with you."

As Wade Orlando got up to grab Lilith Douglas, she turned and ran, only to bump into Tabitha Haywood, who had just walked in.

Tabitha Haywood stumbled, and Lilith Douglas hurriedly steadied her, "Mom, are you okay?"

"What's going on, why are you in such a panic?"

"Lilith Douglas, stop right there." Wade Orlando chased after her.

Lilith Douglas, taking advantage of the situation, hugged Tabitha Haywood pitifully, "Mom, Uncle Second..."

Seeing Tabitha Haywood at the door, Wade Orlando immediately lost his bravado, fearing what Lilith Douglas might say. He glared at her fiercely, "Sister-in-law, you're back. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

"Zhifei, even though Huanshen hasn't woken up, that doesn't mean his wife can be bullied by anyone. If I find out you've been causing trouble for Qianqian again, I won't let it go."

Naturally, Tabitha Haywood would stand up for Lilith Douglas; her daughter-in-law was under her protection.

"No, how could that be? We are family, why would I bully her? Sister-in-law, you really misunderstood."

"That's good to hear."

Although her husband had passed away and her son was in a vegetative state, Tabitha Haywood still held her status and authority, and Wade Orlando dared not act rashly.

Perhaps seeing that Lilith Douglas was frightened, Tabitha Haywood brought her back to the room and comforted her, "As long as I'm here, no one in the Orlando family can bully you. Mom will protect you well."

Tabitha Haywood gently patted Lilith Douglas's hand and slipped a jade bracelet of excellent quality from her wrist onto Lilith Douglas's, "Wear this to calm down."

"Mom, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."

Lilith Douglas tried to refuse, but Tabitha Haywood pressed her hand, smiling, "Everything I have will be yours in the future. When Huanshen wakes up, the entire Orlando family will be yours. Don't be polite with me."

Given these words, Lilith Douglas knew when to accept, taking the bracelet with a smile, "Thank you, Mom."

This mother-in-law, Tabitha Haywood, was quite generous, giving away a seven-figure bracelet without hesitation, which significantly reduced Lilith Douglas's aversion to the family.

"Mom, I'll go back to keep Huanshen company now."

"Qianqian, I know you have some medical skills. If you're not too tired, give Huanshen an acupuncture treatment," Tabitha Haywood said earnestly, placing great hope in her.

Lilith Douglas felt uneasy. Her rudimentary skills were somehow blown up by Steward Lucius into those of a medical prodigy. Tabitha Haywood's unwavering belief was perhaps due to desperation.

"I understand, Mom."

Returning to the room, Lilith Douglas took a deep breath. The man on the bed remained as silent as if he didn't exist.

She then carefully removed the jade bracelet Tabitha Haywood had just given her and put it away properly.
