Secret Crush

Although an unkind attitude should no be used towards elders, Leila couldn’t be kind to Sophia for Leila had been holding resentment in her heart long enough, and if Sophia kept talking, Leila couldn’t promise that she would not lose her temper.

"It's just... Just now, when your mother was watching the news, she saw that you slept with a man in a room. Then she accidentally fell down the stairs and now she's in the hospital."

"What do you say ?" Leila suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Sophia in disbelief. There seemed to a string broken in her head, which was humming now.

"Yeah. Go to the hospital quickly. Maybe, you can see her..." Sophia was saying and then she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, looking at Melissa apologetically.

Leila tried to pull back her thoughts. She shot Sophia a furious glare before heading downstairs.

They arrived at the hospital together. At the hospital gate, there were a lot of reporters. They were able to squeeze into the hospital with the security guard's assistance.

Leila hurried to the door of the operating room. Seeing that the light was still on, she uneasily paced back and forth the corridor.

"Leila, is it true? Did you sleep with that man?" Sophia asked tentatively.

"Sister, is Auntie okay?"

Suddenly, Daisy Song, a beautiful woman, rushed in. Something came to Leila at once. Melissa looked at Sophia and Daisy angrily as she spoke, "My mother never watches the news. Why would she be reading the news on her phone? It was you, wasn't it? I knew it!"

"Sister, how could you say something like that to my mother? She's also worried about Auntie," Daisy said in a gentle voice. Leila, however, wasn't buying any of it. She could see the evil gleam in Daisy's eyes.

Before Leila could say anything, Sophia suddenly drew nearer toward Melissa and whispered to her ear, "Actually, it was I who pushed your mother downstairs."

"You!" Leila was so furious that she slapped Sophia square in the face and this made Sophia be on the ground. Then Sophia let out a wail.

'What a jerk!' Leila was about to go in for another slap when someone grabbed her wrist to stop her and there was a loud slap hit her in the face.

"You're embarrassing me! You slept with a man at a hotel and you just hit your elder! How dare you!"

Johnson Song, Leila's father was visibly furious. He had raised his hand, ready to slap Leila on the face again when Daisy Song stopped him. "Father, she didn't mean to do it. She was just worried about Auntie."

Seeing his younger daughter being so considerate, Johnson Song calmed down a bit but he was still obviously angry with Leila.
