Chapter 108 There's Something Wrong with the Porridge
"Is she emotionally stable?" Abella asked softly.
"Quite stable, she just really misses you. Several times she tried to borrow a nurse's phone to call you, but the nurses said you often come to the hospital to see her, so as long as her waking time gets longer, you'll be able to meet."
Mrs. Wilson had taken away the old lady's phone because she was afraid that the old lady would suddenly wake up and contact Abella. Her confused mind might give away the inheritance...
Abella thought, “So she is not allowed to have a phone with her.”
"Tomorrow, I will go see her," Abella said softly.
"Good, I have a tricky case here, come over tomorrow and help me take a look."
"Okay."
After ending the call, Abella saw a bunch of WhatsApp messages from Mrs. Wilson.
"You shameless little slut! So fond of sleeping with men? Have you swallowed up and forgotten all the manners the Wilson family taught you over the years?"
"Isla kindly tried to set you straight, but you didn't listen, and even instigated your friends to attack her? Look at what she has become after being beaten?"
"I want you to come over right now and sincerely apologize to Isla!"
Perhaps because Abella didn't reply immediately, Mrs. Wilson sent several more WhatsApp messages, all of them insulting her.
"The Wilson family really wasted years raising you, even a dog can guard the house, but you? You're not even as good as a dog!"
"If I were you, I would immediately come and kowtow a hundred times to Isla, try to get her forgiveness."
"I told you to come over immediately, do you hear me?"
Abella replied with "retard" and then blocked Mrs. Wilson on WhatsApp, getting ready to take a shower and sleep.
Just then, Lauren's voice came from outside the door.
"Miss Abella, are you asleep? Madam wants you to come down and have some bird's nest."
Abella wasn't hungry, but since it was her mother's wish, she didn't refuse and went downstairs after putting away her medicine for the night.
Lola served a bowl of bird's nest to Mrs. Medici and sweetly called out, "Mom, this is your red date bird's nest."
Then she served another bowl and handed it to Mr. Medici, "Dad, this is yours."
"You don't have to do these things," Mr. Medici chuckled, feeling that the older she got, the more sensible she became.
Mrs. Medici also smiled, "Lola, you don't have to fuss over these small matters."
She had been held in the palms of the Medici family for eighteen years, even if it was a performance for eighteen years, there was still affection, let alone the genuine liking and love they had for her all these years.
Even though she wasn't their biological daughter, seeing her being respectful and obedient like before, and even taking care of small things like serving bird's nest personally, Mrs. Medici felt a great sense of satisfaction in her heart.
When Abella came downstairs, Mrs. Medici showed a smile, "Abella, you're here? Sit next to Mom."
"Sister, this is your bird's nest," Lola personally served a bowl to Abella before serving herself.
"Lola is thoughtful, being so good to her sister!" Mrs. Medici lovingly looked at Abella, "Eat while it's hot."
Abella took a spoonful and just as it reached her mouth Abella caught a familiar scent, fire hemp seeds? This Chinese medicine is often used in combination with other drugs to treat constipation. However, Abella also smelled another medicine, croton cream. She smirked at the corner of her lips, was she trying to give her diarrhea? Abella lifted her gaze and noticed Lola and Maria secretly observing her. Caught by her gaze, they quickly averted their eyes...
Abella set down the spoon, and her smile deepened.
"You're such a sensible little sister, I'm sure you've been guided by Maria's careful teachings. This bowl of bird's nest was personally served by my little sister and should be given to Maria first."
Upon hearing this, Maria immediately sensed something was off. "Miss Abella, you're being too polite. I am just a servant. How can I eat such an expensive thing?"
"Of course, you can." Abella placed the bird's nest in front of her with a smile on her cherry lips. "We address you as our 'mother,' so naturally we don't regard you as a servant. Moreover, it's just a bowl of bird's nest, don't you agree, Father and Mother?"
Mrs. Medici chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Maria has worked hard all this time, so it's just a bowl of bird's nest. Sit down and eat with us."
"Yes, Abella's kindness... you should eat it!" Mr. Medici added with a smile.
Maria dared not eat this bowl of bird's nest in front of her. She swallowed her saliva and smiled awkwardly, "Sir and Madam, you don't know, I've been having some digestive problems recently... Let's first give this bowl of bird's nest to Miss Abella. Thank you for your kindness, Miss Abella..."
"Bird's nest contains a large amount of protein, rich amino acids, and trace elements, which can help enhance the repair ability of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Given your digestive issues, she should eat more of it," Abella said. Without waiting for Maria's refusal, she smiled and added, "There are many good ingredients in it, Maria should definitely taste it herself."
Maria felt that this girl in front of her was like a devil. She had only smelled it earlier, how did she know what was inside?
"Maria thinks I touched the spoon just now and it's dirty, so she doesn't want to eat?" Abella replaced her with a new spoon and, seeing Maria still motionless, lowered her eyes with disappointment. "Maybe it's because I returned to this home late and my words carry no weight."
"Maria!" Mr. Medici couldn't bear to see his beloved daughter doubting herself and hurriedly said, "Abella has the intention of giving it to you, so just eat it! It's just a bowl of bird's nest."
"Don't think too much, Abella. How could your words carry no weight?" Mrs. Medici said with concern.
"Maybe it's because I returned to this home too late, and everyone tends to listen to my little sister... Even if I want to do something nice, no one appreciates it..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici suddenly realized something. Yes, these servants have spent more time with Lola and naturally lean towards her!
Abella must surely feel the disparity in their hearts!
Thinking like this, Mrs. Medici made up her mind. No, they needed to replace a few new staff members. They couldn't let dear Abella feel inadequate anymore...
"Sister, why don't you persuade Maria to eat? If Maria really has no appetite, can you eat on her behalf? Maria doesn't listen to me, but as my sister, you should listen to your older sister, right?" Upon hearing this, Lola's face turned pale, fearing that the conspiracy would be exposed. "Miss Abella is kind, I will eat it," Maria said, knowing that she had no choice and tremblingly picked up the spoon.
Abella smiled beautifully and said, "That's right, is it delicious, Maria?" Maria couldn't express her sorrow and forced a smile, saying, "It's delicious."
"Well, you should eat more later," Abella advised.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Abella, but one bowl is enough for me. I can't eat anymore," Maria replied.
"There are many ingredients in it, and you work hard normally, so you should replenish your nutrition," Abella continued to show concern.
"Thank you for caring, Miss Abella," Maria felt mixed emotions and quickly made an excuse to leave after finishing the bird's nest.
