Chapter 8

"Really, now that you say it, I understand. The old lady is trying to set you up. Don't worry, before she passes, she'll definitely resolve this for you. Otherwise, if I leave you alone, I won't be at peace in the afterlife."

Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law suddenly became sorrowful as she spoke. I hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, you're in such good health. Don't say things like that."

That night, I had a heart-to-heart talk with my mother-in-law. We talked for a long time. She shared many past stories with me and also mentioned a lot about Lucas Lowder.

At night, Lucas unexpectedly knocked on my bedroom door, which made me feel quite awkward.

"Sister-in-law, are you asleep?"

I quickly put on my pajamas to open the door for him. Strangely, I felt a bit nervous.

"Is there something you need?"

"I know your phone got broken. I bought you the latest Apple model as a gift."

"Huh? That's too expensive. You should keep it for yourself."
