Chapter 1071: Elsa snapped back, not backing down. "Enough with this nonsense! My sons are adults. They'll make their own choices about me, and it's none of your business! You talk aboutbeing controlling, but you're just as bad!" While the shouting match carried on, Ethan, Bess, and Ronald quietly rolled Belen back to her hospital room, pretending not to hear it.
Not long after, Elsa cin, still reeling from the harsh words and the slap she'd endured. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe turned to Ethan, voice trembling. "Your father's thrownout. He won't even letback in the house. I don't have anywhere else to go. Can I stay with you for a while?" Ethan looked at her for a long moment, his face unreadable. Bess quietly pulled out a pack of tissues and offered one to Elsa.
Elsa dabbed at her eyes with the tissue, but her tears wouldn't stop. In her mind, nobody had it worse than she did. Everyone blamed her, and even her own sons wouldn't stand up for her. She felt so aggrieved.
Ethan answered in a detached voice, "I've got plenty of places you can stay. Pick whichever one you like." The meaning behind his words was that he didn't want to live with her.
Elsa's crying stopped in an instant. “Where are you staying?" Ethan didn't want Elsa to live with him and affect his relationship with Brenna.
"I've got plenty of places to live. You don't need to know," he replied.
Sensing his reluctance, Elsa pushed harder. "I'm living with you. I'm not getting any younger, you know. My blood pressure's through the roof, and I need to take my medicine every day. What if something happens when I'm all alone? You'd letjust die in sempty house?" Ethan massaged his temples, resigned. "I'll hire a full-tmaid to take care of you." "That's not the same. A maid isn't family," Elsa fired back. She suddenly realized something. "I'm not about to just let Emmett chaseout of my own house. I have just as much right to that place as he does. I want my half of everything he has. He can't just get rid ofeasily!" Ethan realized she would never back down without a fight.
Still, he had no interest in getting dragged into his parents' mess. They could argue and fight as much as they wanted.
Authorized release from galnovo Elsa peeled off the bandages from her leg and head, leaving behind nothing more than sBand-Aids.
"I am still worried about Kenny. I need to go and check on him,” Elsa said, already heading for the door.
Ethan quickly blocked her path. "Don't. Dad, Uncle Cason, and Uncle Flint are all with Kenny now. If you show up, they'll just scold you."
Elsa bristled. "Why should I be the one to get scolded? So Kenny's injury is my fault? He wouldn't be in this таинзне mess if he hadn't tried to protect that woman. It's all that woman's fault!"
Ethan's patience ran out. "I've had enough of you. Why are you so m unreasonable?" He planted himself firmly in front of the door, making it clear he wouldn't let her leave.
Bess flicked the used bandages into the trash can before tugging Elsa in back. "Aunt Elsa, Grandma needs looking after, too. It's noon, and she hasn't eaten anything. Let's go grab her sfood."
