The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 211 Despair

Luca and Aaron hurriedly followed their mother, only to find her collapsed on the ground. Startled, they quickly lifted her up and rushed her to the nearby hospital's emergency room. The doctors provided immediate treatment for Salma and examined her condition. They explained that her anger had caused her blood pressure to rise, leading to her fainting. Fortunately, she was brought in on time, and there were no major complications after receiving treatment. However, the doctor also advised her to be more cautious in the future and to avoid losing control of her emotions. Only then did the two brothers breathe a sigh of relief. After Salma was taken to the hospital room to rest, Luca and Aaron stayed by her bedside. Then, Luca's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID before answering the call. "Dad." "Are you with your mother? I've been trying to reach her, but no one answered," Steven said. After watching the video his wife sent him, Steven was furious. If he had been there, he would have confronted his son. Luca was taken aback at first. "Mom's phone might have fallen where she fainted," he explained. Then he turned to Aaron, who was next to him. "Hurry and look for Mom's phone." They were in a rush to take her to the hospital earlier, so they hadn't paid attention to the area where she had collapsed. Aaron stood up. "Okay!" Steven sounded worried on the other end of the line. "What do you mean? Did Salma faint? What happened to her?" he asked. Luca didn't hide anything—he told him about what happened in the hospital room after their mom fainted. When he heard that his wife was fine, Steven breathed a sigh of relief. He was especially angry at his fourth son and Jodie.One was a scoundrel, and the other was pretending to be someone they're not. Neither of them were good people. "You take good care of your mom and come back when she recovers. Get Andrew to come over and take care of your mom, and stop getting involved with Jodie." Luca nodded. "Yes, I'll ask Andrew to come over soon." It was clear that his dad was really angry this time. Andrew was in trouble, but he deserved it. As for Jodie, his feelings towards her were more complicated now. After ending the call, he contacted Andrew and asked him to come over quickly. In the hospital room, Andrew, who had just applied medicine to his face wound, was surprised when he heard that his mom had fainted. "Jo, Mom fainted. I'm going to see her." Jodie was shocked. Is she really that fragile? However, she pretended to be concerned. "Oh no, why did Mom faint? Is she okay?""The doctors treated her quickly, so she's fine now. But she hasn't woken up yet," he said as he stood up. She pretended to be anxious as she stood up as well. "Then, I'll come with you to see Mom." Because one of her feet was in a cast, she couldn't stand steadily and fell towards him. Andrew immediately supported her. "It's okay. You're seriously injured, and it's difficult for you to move around. I'll go alone." He was also afraid that his mother would wake up and get angry if she saw him and Jodie together. Jodie pursed her lips. "Alright, I guess I would just be a burden if I tried to come in this state." She nudged Andrew with a worried expression. "You go quickly. You can message me later." Andrew helped her sit down. "Okay. Rest well. I'll come see you later." Jodie nodded. "Okay."After Andrew left, the worry and anxiety in Jodie's eyes disappeared. Her expression was replaced by one of schadenfreude. She treated us so badly in the past. It serves her right to faint! Why couldn't it be something more serious? What a shame. Meanwhile, Salma remained unconscious in her room after Andrew arrived. Luca and the others looked at his miserable appearance and gave him sympathetic looks. "You've paid a high price for Jo," Luca said. When they returned home, their father would likely give him a severe punishment. Andrew glanced at him. "Stop talking nonsense." The three of them playfully teased each other for a while. After some time, Salma regained consciousness. The three brothers immediately surrounded her. "Mom, are you feeling better?"Salma finally woke up after fainting for a while. "Much better." When she saw her fourth son was also there, her face darkened. Initially, she wanted him to leave as she didn't want to see him, but she was also afraid that he would go look for Jodie like he did before. So, she held back her words. However, she didn't plan to let Andrew off easily either. "You and your brother still have work tomorrow, so you should go back to the hotel first," she said to Aaron and Luca. "Andrew can stay here with me." If Andrew could stay with Jodie, then naturally, he should be able to stay with her as well. Luca and the others understood that their mother wanted to punish Andrew, so they played along. "Alright, Mom, let us know if you need anything." As they were about to leave, Andrew felt a bit uneasy. All three of them were her sons. Why could the other two go back to the hotel to rest? Yet, Andrew didn't dare to object. When Luca and the others reached the door, Salma called for them again. "I want you guys to tell Simone about me fainting and being hospitalized tomorrow. If she wants to see me, you can bring her along." Although her husband told her not to actively seek out Simone anymore, Salma just really wanted to see her biological daughter after falling ill. It was just like when she wasn't feeling well before, and having her daughter by her side gave her a sense of security. When her daughter was still at home, she would eat the healthy food that Simone cooked specially for her. Simone would cook several times a week, and her blood pressure never rose again after eating Simone's food. However, recently, her blood pressure had started to rise and become unstable. The more I think about it, the more it seems like having a daughter is better than having a son. She couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope and anticipation. Will my daughter want to come to the hospital to visit me after hearing that I've fainted? Salma wondered.This would prove that Simone still cared about her as a mother. "Would you like me to explain why you fainted?" Aaron turned to Salma and asked. He had a good idea of what his mother was thinking. Maybe this is an opportunity to reconnect with Simone. Considering how much Simone cares about Mom, she'll probably come to the hospital to visit, right? It's just that Mom's reason for fainting is a bit embarrassing to talk about. Of course, it wasn't embarrassing for his mother to faint, but rather, it was embarrassing to share what his younger brother had done. Salma had a similar thought. "Just say that my blood pressure suddenly rose and caused me to faint. Don't mention the embarrassing things your younger brother did." Andrew felt unfairly accused. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he being humiliated? He and Jodie were innocent, despite what others believed.This sense of being wrongly accused by his own mother caused a lot of discomfort within him. However, he didn't dare say anything, afraid that it would cause his mother to faint again. "Don't worry, Mom, I understand," Aaron said with a nod. After the two left, Andrew was left alone in the hospital to keep watch. Salma thought of those antagonistic mothers-in-law in TV dramas, and she decided to tease her son a little. She made him fetch water, then complained that it was either too hot or too cold. Occasionally, she would get upset and throw a cup of water at him. She also made him sit on a hard, wooden stool while telling him to watch over her. Salma couldn't rest comfortably, so she woke up frequently and would order Andrew to do things every time she woke up. She made him fetch her water, wash her feet, massage her head, add a blanket if she felt cold, remove the blanket if she felt hot, and so on. It wasn't until dawn that Salma finally fell into a deep sleep. Meanwhile, it was the final day of the live broadcast of the variety show, and the production team organized an activity. Lunch was provided by the production team. After this episode of the variety show, everyone waved goodbye to the live camera. The production team also gave everyone a day and a half off. This allowed everyone to explore and have fun in the surrounding area before they all returned home together the day after that. Simone was discussing with others where to go sightseeing when Aaron and Luca approached her.
