After setting down her phone, Mrs. Perez continued to criticize Lydia, egged on by Tiffany. The conversation flowed easily between them, filling the hospital room with laughter and smug remarks.That was, until Quincy opened the door, his face red with anger as he glared at everyone inside. “What are you doing? Why do you keep going after Lydia like this?”He was furious at the way they were gossiping about her, slandering her character without a second thought.”Quincy, your mom is sick. You can’t just come in here and start shouting,” Tiffany said in a falsely sweet voice, stepping over to him and taking his hand. “If you don’t like the topic, we can stop talking about it.” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ƒindηʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.”Cut the act, Tiffany. Your performance is terrible.” Quincy shot back, unphased. He had overheard enough standing outside the door to realize just how well Tiffany and his mother worked together. He had even been thinking earlier about treating his mom with more care, but what he had just heard felt like a slap in the face. He had been such a fool. “Quincy, why are you so worked up? If you keep acting like this, you might as well not come back. I don’t want to see you. Don’t even come to my funeral!” Mrs. Perez knew Quincy would feel guilty enough to back down.After all, the doctor had warned him how serious her condition was. There was no way he would start a fight over his ex-wife.Quincy, however, didn’t respond the way she expected. “Mom, it costs over two thousand dollars a day to keep your here.

She couldn’t let that happen.Mrs. Perez shot a pleading glance at her husband, and Mr. Perez quickly stepped in, “Quincy, it’s just some herbal tea. Why are you so hung up on it? I tossed it. If you want more, I’ll ask a friend to bring a new batch.” “Such a great tea, and you two couldn’t bear to drink it yourselves, yet you were so eager to give it to my wife,” Quincy said, his eyes flashing with a hint of sarcasm. “Now you’re saying you just threw it away?”
