Chapter 268 - 182: Welcoming and Farewell, the Changing of Spring and Winter (Second Update)

"Laura, be honest. Is the reason your sister’s boyfriend insists on breaking up with her because of you?"

As soon as the man spoke, Laura’s once icy demeanor suddenly softened.

She raised an eyebrow, the corners of her lips lifting slightly into a smile that seemed both playful and mocking.

She asked, "Do you really have to talk about this in front of Grandpa’s hospital room?"

"..."

The man’s expression changed slightly, looking a bit embarrassed.

"You know this is your grandpa’s hospital room, right? How many times have you been here since he was admitted? Now you show up, just to put on a show, isn’t it?"

Next to them, Sophia’s mother refused to let it go, angrily saying, "Don’t use your grandpa as a shield. Let’s keep it to the point. If you hadn’t sabotaged your sister’s relationships multiple times, feeling guilty like a thief, you wouldn’t even visit during the New Year. Do we need to ambush you here?"

Laura understood, and so did Nora Scott.

The Collins Family called Laura back not because of Sir Collins but to use him as an excuse to bring Laura back, only to criticize her.

Without getting angry or upset, Laura smiled chillingly, "So you’re saying if this isn’t resolved, I’m not allowed to enter?"

Sophia’s mother glared at her, "Give an explanation, and you can see your grandfather."

"Fine, I spoiled it. What now?" Laura raised an eyebrow, "In the future, if Sophia finds someone, I’ll lure them away. If you have the ability, come and snatch them, otherwise, brace for a lonely old age."

"You—"

Sophia’s mother and daughter trembled with anger, while her father couldn’t hold back. He took a step forward, face as dark as water, raising his hand to slap Laura.

In a flash, a coin sliced through the air, accurately hitting Mr. Collins on the wrist.

"Hiss~"

In the brief pause, Mr. Collins felt a sharp pain stabbing his wrist, making him gasp in pain.

Laura stepped back half a step, turning sideways to see Nora Scott approaching with a smile.

Behind Nora Scott was a female doctor.

"What’s with the noise? All grown-ups and no manners at all." The female doctor coldly scolded Mr. Collins and the others, "If you disturb the patients again, I’ll call security."

"Dad!"

Sophia pleaded, tearing up as she tugged on her father’s arm, softly whining.

Mr. Collins patted her hand, offering a few comforting words, then took a heavy look at Laura and Nora Scott before suppressing the pain in his wrist to apologize to the female doctor, promising it wouldn’t happen again.

The female doctor said a few more words, nodded toward Nora Scott, then turned and left.

However, once she left, the true colors of Mr. Collins and the others were revealed once again.

"Laura, if you want to see your grandpa, forget it!" Sophia’s mother stepped out, exhaling angrily, pointing a finger at Laura, "If you don’t give an explanation, I’ll make sure you never have a peaceful day again!"

Laura’s expression turned fierce, as she was about to step forward.

She had just taken half a step when Nora Scott caught hold of her.

Slightly bowing her head, Nora Scott whispered in her ear, "Your grandpa is still here. Let’s not cause a scene."

Laura has a fiery temper. If it wasn’t for Nora Scott just now, she would have already fought with Sophia’s entire family.

The other relatives, entertained by the spectacle, clustered in the doorway, not intending to intervene in their chaos. Laura could take on all three easily.

Usually, Nora Scott wouldn’t interfere, but this was not the right time.

"Are we just going to stand here?" Laura furrowed her brow.

"Wait," Nora Scott said nonchalantly.

Laura looked at her, "What miracle have you arranged?"

With a slight squint, Nora Scott replied, "It wasn’t me."

Laura was stunned.

Seeing the two whispering together, ignoring her threats, Sophia’s mother felt even more frustrated, stepping forward to provoke, "Are you two shameless hussies supporting each other? You—"

Her hand just pointed toward Nora Scott when Nora Scott’s eyes narrowed, revealing a cold glint beneath.

In an instant, a chill climbed up her spine, spread throughout her body, and Sophia’s mother opened her mouth in panic, leaving the remaining curses unsaid.

Just one look conveyed the message "not to be trifled with," like a knife cutting to the bone, pulling the skin and flesh together in pain.

Sophia’s mother shuddered violently.

At this moment—

Within half a minute, the phones of the Collins Family members inside and outside the hospital room started ringing. Everyone was startled, quickly taking out their phones to answer calls in secluded spots.

"Bruno, didn’t I ask for leave? What’s so urgent..."

"Come to school? ... No, no, no reluctance. We’ll definitely educate him well. Right away, we’ll be there."
