Sarah ran back to the ward in a hurry. While walking through the hallway, Sarah seemed to hear Mrs. Thomas and Emma's voices around the corner, as if they were talking about her and Charles. At first, Sarah wasn't sure about it, but after taking a peek, she saw that they were indeed there. So she stopped to listen to their conversation.
Mrs. Thomas said, "I didn't support you and Charles before, just because I was afraid of your family background. Alas, it was my fault. But now Charles has done the opposite of what I said and has married a girl from the outside. That girl has a poorer family background than you. As the saying goes, as for the son's wife, an adopted girl is much better than an outside girl. I am on your side, Emma. Seize Charles back. I would rather you marry Charles than that girl."
Hearing these words, Sarah's heart was chilled, deeply.
