The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

When the call connected, Elaine smacked her lips playfully as she chirped, "Oh, my dear son-in-law, why are you calling me at this time?"

Charlie said with a smile, "Mom, how is your recovery?"

Elaine smiled and said, “It's good, very good! I'm having shark's fin, abalone, cordyceps, and sea cucumber every day, and I have better nutrition than soccer players! The doctors here are also very skillful, so my leg is recovering quite well."

Charlie said, "That's good. Claire graduated from her class today, and we plan to check out and go to New York in the morning tomorrow. We will return to Aurous Hill together after we pick you up."

"Return to Aurous Hill?" Elaine's tone instantly sounded depressed, and she said, "My dear son-in-law, it'll be boring once I return to Aurous Hill. My leg in this state will be inconvenient, and I'll have to trouble you and Claire in our daily lives. I think it'd be better for you and Claire to go back first. I'll stay here for a few more days to recuperate and return to Aurous Hill once I recover!"

Charlie felt helpless for a moment.

He was willing to let Elaine stay in the United States. After all, as the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. However, Claire still did not know about her mother's hospitalization. If this matter kept dragging on, Claire would definitely get suspicious, and things would certainly get out of hand then.

Therefore, the best solution would be for Elaine to return with her. If Claire saw Elaine limping again tomorrow, Elaine could say that she accidentally fell when hanging out with her friends and not that she was beaten up and got her leg broken when she was still the Ferocious Ghost of Bedford Hills Correctional Facility.

So, he said with some difficulty, "Mom, staying in the hospital every day is not as comfortable as coming home. Besides, you're unfamiliar with New York, so it's definitely not that much fun for you to be alone. After you come home, I can ask The Heaven Springs to deliver those delicacies to you every day if you still want to eat those. It certainly will not be worse than the food you ate at the hospital."

Elaine, who was feasting on the hospital bed, thought about it for a while and thought to herself, 'Although I get to eat and drink well and have people serving me every day when I stay here, I can only be in the ward or the green lawn downstairs every day, which is meaningless. When I return, I can quickly sell the same necklace that Charlie gave me and get some cash. I'll also have Hannah flattering me every day. Wouldn't that be a good life then?'

She smiled as she thought of this and said, "My dear son-in-law, since you already said so, I'll go back with you then!"

Charlie smiled and told her, "Mom, if Claire sees a problem with your leg tomorrow, you can tell her that you accidentally fell when you were.

hanging out with your friends.ne

and

your old injury didn't heal well before, so you have a relapse. Don't say anything about getting hurt in prison, lest Claire feels upset."

"Okay, okay." Elaine agreed and said with a smile, "Even if you didn't say anything, wouldn't tell Claire the

truth. If others know that I let people break my leg when I was the Ferocious Ghost of Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, wouldn't my

reputation be ruined then?"

Charlie felt frustrated when he heard the words 'Ferocious Ghost of Bedford Hills Correctional Facility,' but he could only smile and reply, "You're right, Mom."

Elaine smiled and said, "Okay, tell me the time for tomorrow then. I'll tell the doctor and the nurses later so that they can send me to the airport then."

"Sure." Charlie said, "Claire and I will

drive there after checking out of the room in the morning, but we still have to return the car. It will probably be noon when we're done, so you can go to the airport at noon after lunch."

Elaine hurriedly asked, "What time is the flight?"

Charlie smiled and said, "We are not taking a civilian airliner. We're taking my client's private jet."

"Wow!" Elaine was surprised and said, "Another private jet? I really enjoyed taking private jets on this trip to the United States this time!"

After saying that, Elaine hurriedly said, "My dear son-in-law, I'll meet you at the

airport tomorrow after having lunch at the hospital!"

"Okay.” Charlie instructed, "You can go to the VIP building directly tomorrow. Claire and I will be waiting for you there."noveldrama
