The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 574 – Throwing a Tantrum and Stopping

Chapter 574: Throwing a Tantrum and Stopping

Maddy was immediately stunned by the interruption, and she subconsciously looked at Lucas. She… should be his strange mother-in-law, right?

Before she returned yesterday, she had browsed the internet to see if there was any news worth paying attention to, only to see the news about Lucas being slandered by his mother-in-law, Karen, and the subsequent plot twist.

At the time, Maddy had found it hilarious.

The esteemed commander of the Falcon Regiment in Calico actually appeared in the news in such a manner.

But she was naturally on Lucas’s side, and she reckoned that his mother was probably not easy to get along with.

As expected, after she entered the ward, Lucas didn’t even introduce her to his mother-in-law, which just went to show that their relationship was extremely strained.

Now that Karen had grabbed her wrist and bombarded her with interrogative questions, her impression of Karen became even worse.

Her tone of voice and expression were completely like those of an uncultured shrew. Moreover, her voice was extremely shrilling and unsettling. It was difficult for others to like her.

Seeing this, Cheyenne hurriedly went forward and pulled Karen’s hand away. “Mom, what are you doing? Maddy is Lucas’s close friend and an internationally renowned medical expert. She’s returned from abroad this time specially to treat Dad. Maddy has seen Dad’s medical report, and she thinks there’s a high chance he will regain consciousness! She just wants to check his condition again.”

As soon as Karen heard this, she seemed even more flustered and furious.

As early as a few days ago, she had learned from Lucas that he would be inviting a top medical expert from abroad to treat William.

But how could Karen let William wake up again?

William had already been diagnosed as brain damaged, and he would remain in a vegetative state. The probability of him regaining consciousness again was extremely low, so Karen had directly treated him as a dead person. Not only had she abused him to her heart’s content, but she had also told him about all the evil things she had done, including how she had hired someone to murder him in a vengeful tone.

If William remained unconscious for the rest of his life, everything would be fine. But if he suddenly came to, all the things that she had done would be exposed.

So the moment Karen heard Lucas say that he had invited a medical expert from abroad, she had gotten a great fright and finally took the desperate decision to attack William again. But she had been unexpectedly discovered by Cheyenne, which led to many other subsequent events.

She had just escaped from the brink of death at the Taylor residence just now and hadn’t had time to ponder about how to continue dealing with William. But the doctor Lucas invited had already arrived and was going to treat William. How could she allow it?!

No matter what, she had to find a way to stop it!

Karen glanced at Maddy in disdain and harrumphed coldly. “Cheyenne, don’t let them fool you! Look at this woman, she should only be less than thirty years old, and she’s dressed so scantily. Who knows what she really works as? Do you believe that she’s an internationally renowned doctor just because she says so? Which highly respected doctor would be so young?

“I bet she’s just some wild woman Lucas Gray found out there and colluded with to find a chance to kill your father!”

Karen seemed to believe her own lies as she spoke, and she suddenly smacked her thigh. “Yes, this must be the case! I’m afraid you’re the one who caused William to get into that accident, right, Lucas Gray?

“You deliberately tried to kill Cheyenne’s father because you think it’d be easy to bully us when once I’m widowed and Cheyenne has lost her father, right?”

She glowered at Lucas furiously. And after making this long, illogical speech, she complained to Cheyenne tearfully, “Cheyenne, you’re just too soft-hearted and kind-hearted. You were tricked by this adulterous pair! Think about it. Even the most distinguished doctor in this hospital has said that the chances of your father waking up again are extremely slim, so how can this young woman know anything about medicine and treatment? They’re just lying!

“Didn’t you also say before that there’s something fishy about your father’s car accident? Maybe Lucas and this shameless woman arranged it! Now that things have come to this, they’re pretending there’s a doctor who can heal your father so that they can sneakily try to kill him again!

“This adulterous pair must not have any good intentions. Cheyenne, don’t trust them! Don’t let them touch your father!”

After Karen said all of this hysterically, Maddy was dumbfounded!

Although she already had a terrible first impression of Karen, she was a qualified doctor who had dealt with many members of upper society. The foul words that came out of Karen’s mouth really made Maddy flabbergasted!

She never knew that a woman’s imagination could be so rich and vicious, so much so that Karen had developed dirty thoughts about her and Lucas as soon as she saw her. She even slandered them, making Maddy so shocked that she couldn’t even feel angry at all. Instead, she found it really ridiculous.

Lucas’s eyes instantly darkened.

He had gotten used to being insulted by Karen, so he could just pretend not to hear her. But he wouldn’t tolerate her insulting his friend.

He looked at Karen’s villainous expression and suddenly asked, “Are you that afraid that William will wake up after his condition gets better?”

“What did you say?!” Karen was instantly shocked because Lucas’s words hit the nail on the head, making her panic.

But she obviously couldn’t admit to it.

Looking as if she had been gravely insulted, Karen burst into tears aggrievedly. “Cheyenne, look at your husband. How can he say something like that to me? No matter what, I’m his mother-in-law. Yet he actually thinks that I’m such a vicious person. I… I’m really going to be angered to death by him!

“Cheyenne, look at what kind of a life I’m living. Your father is still lying in bed unconscious, and I’m already so old. I can only rely on you and Charlotte to support me in the future, but Lucas actually did this to me. How am I supposed to live in the future? I might as well die here or let the Taylors kill me yesterday so that I wouldn’t be such an eyesore here and face your insults!”

Karen was really good at being shameless, a skill she had perfected after decades of training and practice. She could tear up as soon as she wanted to and make herself look extremely aggrieved as if she had been bullied.

In the past, Cheyenne would have shown Karen lots of sympathy and caved in.

But after learning about Karen’s horrendous misdeeds, Cheyenne was no longer going to be the good daughter who would immediately be at a loss upon seeing Karen cry.

Cheyenne looked at Karen calmly and said coldly, “Mom, no one is bullying you. If you keep behaving so nonsensically and interfere with Dad’s treatment, you should leave the hospital right now!”
