The Amazing son in law Chapter 938
Elaine questioned icily, “Are you absolutely certain?”
Jacob quickly replied, “Yes, I’m certain. Why would I lie to you? Don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate to discuss this right now? Shouldn’t our main focus be on getting you treatment for your injuries? Is your leg broken?”
So absorbed was Elaine in uncovering Jacob’s secrets that she had momentarily forgotten she was there to address her own injuries. It was only when Jacob mentioned her leg that the sharp pain in her right leg reminded her of her situation.
Frantically, Elaine turned to Claire and urged, “My dear daughter, take your mother to see the doctor right away! I can’t bear the thought of ending up with a disability!”

After visiting the emergency room and consulting with the doctor, Elaine underwent an X-ray of her leg as requested. Claire, visibly anxious, asked, “Doctor, how is my mother doing?”
Elaine, equally apprehensive about the outcome, interjected, “Yes, doctor. What did you find? Am I going to be a cripple?”
The doctor explained, “The X-ray shows that you have a comminuted fracture in your calf. While your condition is somewhat serious, with proper care, you won’t end up as a cripple. I recommend getting a plaster cast, and you’ll need to stay in the hospital for about two weeks for observation. This is essential for ensuring your complete recovery.”
Relief washed over Elaine at the thought of not becoming a cripple, but anxiety surged when she learned she would have to be hospitalized. “Wait, why do I need to stay in the hospital? Can’t I just go home after getting the cast?” Read complete version only at find(ɴ)ovel.net
It felt terribly unfair to Elaine that she hadn’t even had the chance to enjoy living in the villa at Thompson First yet.
After enduring two days of unbearable pain, all Elaine could dream of was returning to the grand villa. She longed to sink into her soft, spacious bed and revel in the luxury of life at Thompson First.
The doctor shook his head and said, “The first two weeks after you get the plaster cast are crucial for your recovery. If you choose to go home now and something goes wrong, we might not be able to address it in time, leading to incomplete healing.”
This news left Elaine feeling quite despondent.
Meanwhile, Jacob felt a surge of happiness!
He recognized that Elaine’s unexpected return was a situation he could not change. However, if she stayed in the hospital, he could enjoy a few more days of respite.
With this in mind, he said to Elaine, “Wife, it’s best to heed the doctor’s advice and remain in the hospital. This way, you can avoid any lingering issues in the future.”
Elaine narrowed her eyes at Jacob and questioned, “What? You don’t want me to go home, do you?”
Jacob quickly waved his hands, “That’s not what I meant.”
Elaine let out a cold snort. Suddenly, she remembered something and turned to Charlie, saying, “Don’t you know the brilliant doctor, Anthony Simmons? Get him to come treat my leg right away!”
Charlie frowned at his mother-in-law’s tone, realizing that a clever woman like Elaine was now seeking Anthony’s help for her leg?
He couldn’t help but feel a twinge of amusement and replied coolly, “Dr. Simmons is currently in Eastcliff treating a patient.”
Elaine responded, “Then I can just wait for him to come back, right?”
Charlie replied, “He might not return for over ten days.”
The doctor interjected, “Regardless of the situation, you still need to get the plaster cast today.”
Elaine quickly responded, “Alright! I’ll get the plaster cast, and then I’ll go home to rest after that!”
Seeing Elaine’s stubbornness, Jacob realized there was no chance she would agree to stay in the hospital. He contemplated the reality that while he could temporarily hide Matilda’s return, he would eventually have to confront Elaine with the truth. If he asked for a divorce after she learned Matilda was back, he was certain Elaine would never consent.
In light of this, he thought it would be best to return home and seize the opportunity to ask her for a divorce tonight. If she agreed quickly, that would be ideal!
