The female housekeeper my husband hired was a beautiful airhead.
When my mother-in-law suddenly suffered a heart attack, she begged the housekeeper to call an ambulance.
Instead, the woman smiled and asked what brand of foundation my mother-in-law used, because her complexion looked so fair and naturally flawless.
In the end, my mother-in-law died because treatment was delayed.
Before I could even confront her, she was already crying pitifully.
“I’m sorry, sis. I thought your mom was joking with me.”
“No one in my family has ever died young. I really didn’t know she was having a heart attack.”
My husband shielded her behind him.
“Qianyu isn’t a doctor. How would she know anything about medicine?”
“Your mom was always so full of life. Who could have known she had heart disease? Instead of picking on Qianyu, why don’t you go look at your mom in the morgue one last time?”
My son cried as he ran toward the morgue. “Grandma!”
My husband’s face flushed, and he looked bewildered.
I was so furious I laughed. “That’s right. It was your mom who died.”
