The First Heir

Chapter 89

Well, you’re a tough guy now, huh? You even dare to yell at me now? Philip Clarke, don’t you even think about entering my house ever again! There will be no door open for you!”

Martha had her hand on her waist as she shouted, pointing at Philip’s departing figure.

“What are you doing? This is a hospital, shouting is not allowed!” A nurse walked over with a cold expression on her face and reprimanded them.

Startled and angry, Martha tugged unreasonably onto Charles as she sobbed, “Charlie, you saw what happened. Philip is so unreasonable now. He even dares to shout at me now. From now on, in this family, he and I will not coexist.”

Martha was simply furious. Since when did a loser dare come up to her and talk to her in that manner?

“Alright, alright. Why don’t you stop saying so much as well. Do we have to add to this problem?” Charles said helplessly.

After decades, it was natural that he understood Martha’s temperament.

Philip was way too rude!

No matter the circumstances, she was still his mother-in-law. How could he yell at her directly in her face?

However, Charles also felt slightly surprised. It seemed that his son-in-law had become slightly different.

“Don’t you think that Charles is a little different today?” Charles asked.

“What’s the difference, he’s still a loser!” Martha replied indignantly.

Lynn and her parents watched in on the fun with a sneer on their faces.

Their opinion toward Philip, their niece’s husband, was that he was just a joke. It was pretty fun to curse about him once in a while.

Lynn felt very happy today. Seeing her wimpy cousin-in-law get all sorts of recriminations made her feel relaxed.

She did not stop live-streaming about Philip in the group chat. The entire matter was a big deal now.

There were even a few people who compiled the videos of Philip getting scolded into a mashup and posted them onto the Internet. That made Philip viral.

As such, Philip got the title of being the worst son-in-law in Riverdale.

Juan walked over after he paid for the hospital bills.

He had been watching from the corner with a pitiful gaze.

He felt a great deal of pleasure watching Philip get scolded.

That loser would never get any respect from the two elders.

“Uncle, Aunty, I’ve already paid the fees. I’ll take care of Wynn these few days. It’s already very late, why don’t you go home first? I’ll be here to take care of things.” Juan behaved graciously with a smile on his face. It made people feel closer to him.

Martha hurriedly took Juan’s hand in hers. Smiling from ear to ear, she said, “Juan, how could we trouble you like this? How much was it? I’ll bring you the money tomorrow.”

The child was thoughtful, and he was easy on the eyes as well.

Her daughter was still pretty attractive, seeing how she managed to attract so many boys to circle her.

She honestly had no idea why her daughter insisted on getting married to that little brat Philip. To add on, they even got pregnant before getting married, disgracing the Johnston family and causing her to look bad in her maiden home.

It could not be helped. Martha’s maiden family was a large family with strong traditional values.

When her daughter got pregnant out of wedlock, she was met with all kinds of spite and scorn from her family members back home.

This caused Martha to feel so embarrassed that she could not even raise her head in front of her family members.

For the past few years, Martha had not dared to return to her maiden family home, mainly because she was afraid of being shamed.

Not this time, however. She had to go back to celebrate her father’s 70th birthday.

It was because of this that Martha had been very grumpy recently. Seeing Philip’s dispirited face just made matters worse.

Juan waved his hand hurriedly as he said politely, “Aunty, please let me do something for Wynn.”

Martha did not continue insisting. Holding Juan’s hand in hers, she found herself liking him more and more.

For the next two or three days, Juan would come to visit Wynn every day.

Naturally, Philip would come as well.

However, when Juan came, he would be greeted warmly by Martha.

When Philip came, Martha would have a foul expression on her face. She looked as if she had a deep resentment toward him.

Besides, Martha would always find an opportunity to say something nasty about Philip. The things she said were always horrible. She would criticize him from head to toe.

Yet, Philip never said anything.

It was because he knew that Martha was angry with him. As such, he let her vent.

On that same day, Philip had just arrived at the hospital with a lunch box in hand when he received a call from Henry Turner.

“Hello, Mr. Clarke. We’ve studied Mila’s condition and have come up with a surgical plan. Shall I come over to discuss it with you?” Henry sounded very respectful over the phone.

If outsiders knew that Professor Henry Turner, the medical titan of China’s cardiology department, actually treated a man like him with such respect, a huge uproar would definitely be caused.

“Alright, I’m at Riverdale Public Hospital,” Philip replied.

After hanging up the phone, Philip walked into Wynn’s ward with the lunch box.

In the ward, Juan was sitting by Wynn’s bedside, talking to her.

“Wynn, there’s progress with Mila’s condition. I got my dad to contact the best doctor in China, Professor Henry Turner. He said he happens to be in Riverdale these few days and should be free to stop by today.”

Juan was very excited. This was something that he had asked for from his father for a long time.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
