"Uncle, how can you let her in?" Jaylene had just pushed through the door when Phoebe Smith started to complain discontentedly from the side.
"Shut up!" Ethan Thompson coldly interrupted Phoebe's words.
"Is there anything more important now than making Joseph wake up?" Ethan's voice was deep and powerful, also revealing his profound worries.
"Ethan, if it wasn't for Jaylene this morning." Susanna Smith tried to defend her niece-in-law by saying a few words on her behalf, but Ethan Thompson cut her off before she could continue.
"I understand Jaylene's character; she is truly sincere towards Joseph. Besides, she is now pregnant with Joseph's child; how could she possibly harm him?"
"Could she possibly want to become a widow with a posthumous child?"
With that one sentence, Ethan silenced Susanna and Phoebe, leaving them speechless. Susanna clenched her fists tightly at her sides, veins faintly visible on the backs of her hands.
