Chapter 183 She Thought They Had No Means Against Her
It was rare for Zoe to hear Gordon praise anyone.
But now, the praise in Gordon’s tone wasn’t mere courtesy, he truly believed that Aurelia was deserving.
For a moment, Zoe’s heart grew heavy.
Beneath the covers, her hands were tightly clasped together.
Inside a hospital in Jacaster.
Insults incessantly echoed throughout the ward.
The noise was such that patients from other rooms couldn’t rest properly, leading them to lodge numerous complaints with the head nurse.
The head nurse was overwhelmed upon seeing all these complaints.
She never imagined that the lady of a prestigious family could lack class to such an extent. Moreover, this family was truly the most deceptive she had ever encountered. They appeared responsible on the surface but were, in fact, incredibly insincere.
The attitude toward the patients was completely devoid of patience. Not only did this potentially hinder the patients‘ recovery, but it also continually provoked their tempers.
It was precisely because her family’s treatment had broken her heart, that she would lash out in fits of rage.
The head nurse, having encountered countless patients and families, understood all too well what was going on in this situation.
She walked into the sickroom, her gaze falling on the shattered bowl on the floor, surrounded by scattered food. Her heart skipped a beat, the situation was far worse than she had anticipated.
It was really….
They were at a loss for words.
In the hospital room, both Spencer and Benjamin found themselves splattered with food, looking quite disheveled.
Both men looked incredibly handsome, which was to be expected given their affluent backgrounds. Now, they regretted flaunting their designer outfits.
Seeing the head nurse enter, Spencer’s face changed slightly, suppressing his anger. He said to Luna, “Mom, can you please stop causing a scene?”
“Me, causing a scene? If it weren’t for your ill–treatment toward me, your lack of consideration for my well–being, would I be upset? All I did was express my discomfort, my dislike for the food,

and you all responded with furrowed brows and anger! How could I possibly not be upset?” Luna defended herself.
She had endured the agony of amputation and was in dire need of her family’s meticulous care. But where were they?
They actually had the audacity to look down on her because of her disability!
They were impatient with her, and their care was half–hearted at best. They claimed to be keeping her company, but each one was engrossed in their phones. When she asked for a sip of water, they brushed her off, deeming her request unnecessary

Upon hearing Luna’s words, both Benjamin and Spencer’s expressions turned sour.
Spencer couldn’t hold back any longer. “Mom, can you please stop being so unreasonable? We’ve dropped everything to be here with you, isn’t that enough? Why can’t you just try to understand
us?”
He truly couldn’t understand.
The refined and courteous mother from before, how had she become like this now, hardly different from a shrew?
Luna’s eyes were burning with fury. “You! All of you, after all the hardships I’ve endured to raise
is this how you repay me?”
you.
For every word she uttered, they had ten waiting in response.
Benjamin’s brow was tightly furrowed, it was clear that his patience had been completely worn
away.
Upon hearing this, the head nurse had a pretty good understanding of the situation.
The patient harbored such strong resentment, it was clear that their family had not done their utmost to soothe them.
She began to speak. “I’ve received numerous complaints from the patients‘ families about the noise you’ve been making. Taking care of a patient is not as easy as it seems, especially when they’ve just had surgery and are emotionally unstable. They need their families to communicate patiently and provide comfort. Do you have anyone else in your family who could come and take care of the patient?”
The final question was directed at Benjamin and Spencer.
Benjanin didn’t feel like talking.
Spencer could only suggest, “There’s my older brother and younger sister. I’ll get them over.”
Perhaps if Aaron and Melanie came over, Luna might be more reasonable.
After all, mom always favored Melanie, and Melanie was the most obedient and well–behaved.

The head nurse knew there were other members in their family, but the two individuals they mentioned seemed….
“Don’t call them over! They’re no different from you! I’ve wasted so much time caring for you, putting up with your mischief when you were little, patiently raising you…and look at you now…” At that moment, Luna was truly heartbroken by her children’s actions.
If given the chance to start over, she would definitely not have had so many children!
“Mom, if you didn’t want us to come, then who did you expect? Dad’s swamped with work at the company. It’s already a miracle if he can spare any time to visit the hospital. You should be well aware of our situation at home, shouldn’t you?” Spencer’s patience with Luna was wearing thin.
Upon being questioned, Luna’s complexion shifted dramatically. Almost in an instant, a person came to mind.
When she fell ill with a cold in the past, she was the one who took care of her with the utmost patience!
She hadn’t thought much of it before, but now she realized just how much she had taken things for granted in the past!
“Get Aurelia over here, summon her! Did you guys fail to inform her about my car accident and amputation? If she knew, she wouldn’t have missed coming to see me! Find a way to get her here, seek out Phyllis, Phyllis will definitely be able to reach Aurelia. No, go to Aurelia’s workplace, bring her here!”
Yes, it was Aurelia!
“Mom, I didn’t tell you before because I didn’t want to upset you, but Aurelia knew about your car accident all along. She was there the day of the surgery. When she saw that the surgery was successful, she left. We’ve tried to reach out to her these past few days, but she’s blocked all of us. Even Mel had reached out to Phyllis, but Phyllis didn’t want anything to do with it. As for Aurelia’s workplace, we called, only to find out that she’s currently on leave. No one knows where she is right now!”
Whenever Spencer mentioned Aurelia, he was filled with
That Aurelia was absolutely ungrateful!
How much could one possibly earn from going to work?
anger.
They could offer her a year’s worth of her salary if she came and look after Luna.
Luna’s
eyes widened. “How… could this… be possible…”
The head nurse finally understood the situation. She could only patiently say, “You need to find a caregiver. If this continues, the hospital won’t be able to justify it to the other patients and their families.
Although this was a private hospital, the patients residing here were either wealthy or noble,

“Don’t worry, Ma’am, we’ll have a talk about it.” Benjamin took several deep breaths before standing up and addressing the head nurse.
The head nurse nodded, then walked out.
No sooner had the head nurse stepped out, than Benjamin, with a stern face, addressed Luna. “Mom, stop making a fuss. Let’s have a proper discussion. It’s not impossible if you want Aurelia to take care of you in the future, but we need to talk it through properly.”
Spencer glanced at Benjamin.
It seemed that Benjamin and he were on the same wavelength.
They would need to employ certain tactics when dealing with Aurelia.
Otherwise, Aurelia would have thought that the Leedon family had run out of ways to deal with her!
Luna found herself in a rare moment of calm. “All right, speak,” she said.
As evening approached.
The lingering glow of the sunset on the horizon, coupled with the endless expanse of the ocean, was so breathtaking that one couldn’t tear their gaze away.
The boat was headed toward the pier.
Aurelia leaned into Matthew’s embrace, the two of them quietly admiring the beautiful scene in silence.
“How wonderful it would be if time could freeze at this very moment,” Aurelia sighed.
