The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The next day, Charlie and Claire packed their luggage, checked out of the hotel, and left Providence, where they had been living for more than a month.

The two drove directly to the airport in New York. Just as they were checking the car out at the airport, Charlie received a call from Elaine.noveldrama

Elaine asked him over the phone, "My dear son-in-law, I'm already at the airport. Where are you?"

Charlie asked her, "Mom, are you in the VIP building?"

"Yes." Elaine said, "The director of the hospital, Director Camior, sent me here personally."

"Okay." Charlie responded and said, "Wait for us in the lobby of the VIP building. We'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Charlie also completed the procedures for returning the car and then turned around as he said to Claire, who was waiting, "Let's go to the VIP building directly. Mom has already arrived."

Claire did not know that her mother had broken her leg again this time and could not help but tease, "My mother is really amazing. She said that she missed us and came to look for us, but in the end, she wanted to leave after just a few days. She was even tricked when she was leaving and ended up getting locked up in prison. After finally getting out of prison, she did not even come to look for us but ended up having fun in New York by herself instead."

Charlie said with a smile, "Don't you understand Mom's character? She was still reluctant to go home when I called her yesterday."

Claire shook her head helplessly and sighed as she said, "There's really nothing I can do about her."

Since the car rental company was some distance away from the VIP building, the staff of the car rental company drove the two of them to the entrance of the VIP building in a small shuttle vehicle.

As soon as they entered the VIP building, they heard Elaine shouting, "Claire! Charlie!"

Claire looked around but did not see Elaine.

At this time, a high-tech electric wheelchair whizzed toward her. Claire glanced down and realized that the person driving the electric wheelchair was actually her own mother, Elaine!

Elaine controlled the electric

wheelchair with one hand, then stopped firmly in front of the two them before she said to Claire,

"Where were you looking? eine

couldn't even see your mother when you have such big eyes?"

Claire said helplessly, "Mom, I didn't look down..."

When Claire saw Elaine's ruddy and rosy complexion and how she had put on a little weight compared the last time she had seen her, Claire's first reaction was that her mother must have been having a

good time recently.

However, she quickly came to her senses and hurriedly asked, "Mom, why are

you in a wheelchair again?"

Elaine sighed and said helplessly,

"Don't mention it. I was really

unlucky a few days ago! I slipped whent was walking and broke my leg. My right leg didn't heal well the last time, so it broke again."

Claire was immediately distressed and said, "Mom, why weren't you more careful?! Your leg has been broken too many times. Can it still recover well in the future if you continue like this?"

"Yes, yes." Elaine said with a smile, "The doctor said that my leg will definitely recover, so you can rest assured."

Claire said seriously, "Mom, you might not feel it now, but I'm afraid there will be sequelae when you get older. You have to be more careful in the future and not let your leg get hurt again..."

"Okay, okay." Elaine said solemnly, "I will definitely protect this leg from now on!" Claire could only nod helplessly.
