Meeting You Was Fate

The pain failed to recede. Monica rubbed her chest hard. Audrey's face looked serious, and the mask she wore did little to detract attention from her eyes and eyebrows' beauty. She said in a kind voice, "Don't do that, madam. It will only make things worse. You'll be fine in a little while. The medicine we injected you with will take effect in about ten minutes."

Monica's head was covered with sweat. She took a deep breath to steady herself as she placed her hands by the bed and looked at Audrey with trembling eyes.

A nurse was cleaning the equipment nearby. Audrey smiled at Monica. "Don't worry, madam. The heart disease is not that severe, but please, try not to get too worked up in future. You should keep things light."

Still feeling a little weak, Monica stammered, "When we step out, can you…can you describe my condition to my son as though it's more serious?"

The doctor frowned. "Why? Do you want your son to worry about you?"

"To some extent, yes. My son has always been obedient. But ever since he started dating this girlfriend of his a few months back, he's begun to disobey me. He's been annoying me repeatedly of late." Monica stared at Audrey's eyes. She didn't know why, but she had a gut feeling that this doctor would help her.

"So you want your son to break up with his girlfriend, and that's why you want me to lie?" Audrey smirked as realization dawned on her.

'Surely, all mothers-in-law are vicious, ' she thought. Staring at the patient, she suddenly remembered her grandmother. Back then, she had also tried to get her parents to divorce.

"Yes, doctor. Please, do me this favor. That seductress has completely brainwashed my son. He doesn't listen to me anymore. If it goes on like this, I might die." Frowning, Monica was disgusted at the thought of Fiona's innocent face.
