My Mother-In-Law Had A Mob Stop My Ambulance
The ambulance’s siren blared as it sped toward the hospital.
But an obnoxious power-walking mob blocked its path at the entrance of our residential area. As a result, the ambulance could not leave the area.
I got out of the car to negotiate with that group of power-walkers. I immediately recognized that the woman who led the mob was none other than my mother-in-law, Miranda White.
“Miranda, the illness of someone important to me has flared up. He’s in critical condition!
“Please get these people to move and let the ambulance pass! Quick!”
I was frantic with worry.
But Miranda shot me a sideways glance and jumped to conclusions. “He should’ve died a long time ago!
“He’s your father. What gives him the nerve to interfere in Caleb’s marital home?! If he’s sick, he deserves it!”
Right after she finished her sentence, she waved her arms and called more people over.
The number of people joining the power-walking mob continued to increase. They packed the road so tightly that it was completely blocked.
When it became clear the ambulance could not possibly leave the area, Miranda shot me a smug glance. She picked up her phone and said in a coy voice, “Honey, what are you doing at home? Come down and join me for a power walk! Getting some exercise is what matters most for your health.”
Inside the ambulance, the phone screen next to the patient lit up for a moment, then went dark again.
It was not my father who had collapsed.
