All Chapters of My Mother-In-Law Had A Mob Stop My Ambulance: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Miranda led the long, snake-like procession as they started their power walk.The crowd was packed shoulder to shoulder. They took over the entire street while blaring their music. The ambulance did not dare to force its way through. It had no choice but to pull over to the side with its siren wailing while it waited. The doctor already started emergency treatment on Bradley, but it barely helped his condition.His vital signs dropped fast.Fifteen minutes later, the power-walk mob finally cleared out and gave way.The ambulance sped off at full throttle as it raced to the hospital. Bradley barely hung on by a thread.My phone was crushed under their feet. I had no choice but to use a landline at the hospital to call Caleb.The phone rang twice before he picked up.The moment he heard my voice, his tone turned impatient.“Shirley, my mom already told me about your father. Not to be harsh, but you know our situation. How can you waste money like this?”I froze. “Caleb, how is

The next moment, I froze upon looking at the notice in the chat window.Caleb had blocked Peter and me.Not just that, he had also kicked both of us out of the ‘Happy Family’ group chat.When the nurse wheeled Bradley out of the operating theater, she came over and said, “Ms. Shirley, your father’s condition is critical. For continued treatment, he should be transferred to the ICU.”The nurse paused for a moment before adding, “If you’re not continuing treatment, we can move him to a regular ward instead.”I looked at my father-in-law lying on his sickbed with a thick, long tube inserted into his mouth. Every breath he took required tremendous effort. He looked painfully frail.“Treat him.”I heard my voice come out hoarse. “Take him to a regular ward first. I’ll go home to get the money. When I come back, transfer him to the ICU immediately.”I left my father to stay with Bradley at the hospital. By the time I arrived home, dawn had broken.Miranda sat on the couch with her a

Several staff at the memorial hall frowned upon being greeted by such a sight.After all, most people who came to mourn the deceased did not usually dress this ostentatiously and high profile.Peter was worried that things might spiral out of control, so he quickly went over to greet Miranda. “Miranda, it’s good that you’re here.”When they saw Peter show up before them, Miranda and Caleb froze. The next moment, they burst out laughing.Miranda pointed at Peter’s black formal suit and laughed so hard she nearly doubled over.“Everyone, look! This country bumpkin’s so desperate for money that he’s pretending to be dead to scam our condolence money!”Then, Caleb looked at me in my black clothes. He sneered and said, “Shirley, it looks like you still haven’t learned your lesson. You decide to go along with your dad’s nonsense. You’ve really disappointed me.”While saying this, he pointed at my father. “This is all your fault. Look what you’ve turned her into!”I clenched my fists.

Over the next few days, Miranda and Caleb continued to play the victim on their livestream.The news of a daughter-in-law refusing to help her critically ill father-in-law remained viral.Peter was worried that I would take it hard, so he suggested we go on a trip to clear my mind.I comforted him. “Dad, once I finish what I need to do, I’ll take you abroad. We’ll get away from all this for a while.”When everything was ready, I entered Miranda’s livestream. At the peak of viewer traffic, I requested to join live.The connection went through.My face appeared on the stream.Mirand’s eyes turned red. “Shirley, Bradley and Caleb treated you well. How could you do this to him? How could you be this cruel?“You just stood by and watched him die! Is that how your father raised you?”Her tearful accusations immediately provoked the audience.The comments flooded in. They were vicious and relentless.[So this is the woman who refused to help! Call the police and arrest her!][Don’

I did not expect to see Caleb again. I frowned. “There’s no need to apologize. This is my home, and you’re not welcome here. Please leave.”“Shirley…” Caleb rushed over. As he got closer, I caught a sour, stale smell from him. It looked like he had not bathed in days.I stepped aside and opened the door. I let Peter in the house first.Caleb said, “Shirley, can you lend me some money?”I almost laughed. “No. I don’t have any.”“Listen to me!” He panicked. “They disqualified me from my civil service interview, so I can’t get the job anymore. I don’t have a source of income…”“Then, find another job. What does your situation have to do with me?”I picked up my phone and pressed the emergency call button.Caleb’s eyes reddened. “Shirley, let’s not talk about the past. I was wrong. But right now, I really need you…”“You need my money, you mean?” I snorted.Without my support and Bradley’s pension, it was clear that his life was not as comfortable as before.“It’s not just abo
