Spoiled By My Once Vegetative Husband

Chapter 15

Yvette looked at Joshua’s enticing red lips gleaming with grape juice, and she felt guilty. She grinned sheepishly and said, “Yes, he does look a lot better now. It must be because you’re taking good care of him.”

“It’s not just me who looks after Joshua. You’re very attentive as well”

However, Yvette only felt ashamed when hearing Lauren’s comment because she had just bullied her son a moment ago.

Thinking about the bank card that Lauren had given her, Yvette felt that she should treat her husband better.

“Mom, have a seat.”

Immediately, Yvette climbed out of bed and handed half a plate of frozen grapes to Lauren while saying sensibly. “Please

have some.

“Girls should avoid eating such cold food. Sleep early. I’ll have the chauffeur send you to school tomorrow. If anything. happens at school, you can tell me. Except for Joshua, the Luxford family will not mistreat you.”

Lauren’s gaze fell upon the man on the bed with his eyes closed as she wondered when her son would regain consciousness.

Her last sentence was a promise and also a warning to Yvette. It was a message to the latter that she would live a comfortable life in the Luxford residence just as she had in the Towell residence. At the same time, Lauren was also warning Yvette not to do anything to bring disgrace upon the Luxford family, notably not cu ck olding her son.

Yvette obediently nodded in accordance like a good girl. However, as soon as Lauren whipped around and walked away, she glared at Joshua lying on the bed,

“Look at your mother chastising me again. I’ve only been married to you for a few days, and she has already nagged me several times. Is it my fault that Hendrick is attracted to me? Could I be blamed for my good looks? Himph! Are you siding with your mother instead of helping me? I’m not going to let you sleep on the bed anymore.”

Enraged, she kicked Joshua violently, but she kicked too hard, and his head slammed into the bedside table with a bang.

Trembling involuntarily, she instantly reached out to touch his head and noticed a big bump on the right side.

She had hurt him.

“Don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt. There’s no need to be scared. Fortunately, Joshua’s hair is hiding the bump. She won’t be able to see it.”

Subsequently, she carefully arranged Joshua’s hair to ensure the bump was out of sight and that no one could see it. After doing all that, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Lauren won’t be so meticulous. She won’t notice there’s a big bump on Joshua’s head. Besides, it’ll be gone in a few days. No one will find out about it,” she comforted herself me ntally.

At that moment, Yvette considered herself extremely fortunate that her husband was in a coma. If he were a child, he would probably cry for the rest of the night, but the person beside her did not even make a single sound.

.

Feeling guilty, she tried her best all night to look after Joshua. Apart from covering him with a blanket, she wiped his sweat and even cleaned his face and body in the morning because she was afraid that Lauren would find out about her son’s “tragic condition.”

Lauren watched the scene with satisfaction and stuffed another card in Yvette’s hand before the latter left.

“Mom, you just gave me one two days ago.”

“Why does she give me money so often? Every time I hit Joshua, I would get money. Now, I feel tempted to hurt my husband. Could it be? Another 150 thousand dollars on this card? Perhaps I’ll be able to save up enough money to buy back the Towell residence without relying on the Luxfords’ help,” she pondered.

Yvette wanted to return the card, but Lauren stopped her and piped up with a smile, “Buy some delicious food while you’re

at school. Also, the weather is getting colder. You’re still young. You should buy more beautiful clothes.”

“Is she telling me to dress up to attract all sorts of admirers and then cheat on her son!” Yvette grumbled inwardly.

Of course, she merely thought about it and did not dare to say it in front of Lauren.

After all, she still had to count on her mother-in-law for financial assistance in the future.
