Smith had just come home from work, he also took time to go to the hospital and saw his mother's condition and Clara must have been there.
Smith walked with food for Clara, because he was sure that Clara did not have time to buy food.
Check!
The room opened, Smith frowned seeing only Mrs. Katy alone in the room. He didn't even notice Clara was in the room.
"Huh, you alone here? Clara Where?" Smith asked in surprise, he put the food on the table. And approached Mrs. Katy, who was wearing a languid expression on her face.
"Earlier Clara came here for a while, but I don't know why she was only here for a short time and went straight home without saying goodbye," said Mrs. Katy in a sluggish tone, making Smith's eyes widen in disbelief. How could Clara be like that to her mother?
"She left Mom alone here? She didn't say she would come back here again?" Smith asked, he clenched his fists tightly.
Mrs. Katy shook her head. "No, she just said when she was going home, her face also looked angry, maybe she didn't like to look after me here," said Mrs. Katy, making Smith's anger rise again.
"Okay, I'm going to go home and take a shower first. It's okay if I stay alone for a while, Mom?" Smith asked, Mrs. Katy nodded her head quickly.
"Yeah, it's okay, Smith, but don't stay too long. I'm afraid to be alone here," said Mrs. Katy, making Smith feel uncomfortable seeing her.
Smith nodded. "Yes Ma'am, Smith will come here. Dad will also come home," answered Smith.
Smith left the room and walked to the parking lot to go home. He really couldn't believe Clara, if she was like that to his mother.
While Mrs. Katy, who saw Smith's departure, immediately smiled crookedly. She was sure that Smith was already angry with Clara
"Feel it! Smith will defend me now, there's no reason for him to defend his wife, huh?" Mrs. Katy muttered, closing her eyes to sleep while waiting for Smith's arrival.
***
Bang!
The door opened with a bang, startling Clara. She immediately closed the magazine she was reading and was even more surprised to see Smith's angry expression.
"Clara, you didn't keep what you said yesterday?" Smith asked loudly, his breath sounding sharp making Clara frown.
"What do you say? Why are you so angry?" Clara asked cluelessly, with Smith at the moment.
"You left mother in the hospital alone, while mother was still sick there and afraid of being left alone! Don't you have the slightest understanding of my mother!" Smith snapped loudly, making Clara's eyes widen.
"Smith, I already came to the hospital. It was your mother who told me to go home, I didn't leave her," Clara replied defending herself, she didn't accept it when she was slandered like this.
"Excuse me! I came home from work late at night, coupled with college taking the time to come to the hospital to visit your temporary mother, instead of leaving my mother there alone?"
"I know you hate my mother because of her attitude toward you, right?" Smith asked, Clara could only shake her head. "But it's not like this method, you also have to know the situation if my mother is still sick."
"Smith, I'm right, I didn't leave Mom, she told me to go home because she said I would make her even crazier there," Clara replied, but Smith, who was already emotional, couldn't believe Clara's words.
"Mum can't be lying, she looks scared in the hospital alone. If you really can't and don't want to take care of Mom in the hospital, at least don't give me hope to come here as if you wanted to take care of my mother!" Smith snapped, he immediately left in front of Clara up the stairs quickly.
Clara was scared now, her tears had come out. Can't believe Smith would be this mad at her.
"What has your mother said about me?" Clara muttered languidly, she couldn't believe that Mrs. Katy pitted them against each other like this.
She couldn't even believe Smith now trusted his mother more. Even though Smith knew how Mrs. Katy was towards Clara, Smith still defended her.
Clara again saw Smith who had changed clothes, walking down the stairs quickly. Even the look on his face was still flat and angry as a bag.
"Where are you going, Smith? It's already late at night," Clara said looking at Smith, who in high school didn't even look at her.
"I will look after my mother at the hospital, if not me, who else will take care of my mother at the hospital? I couldn't possibly leave her there alone," Smith answered slightly sarcastically to Clara, not waiting for Clara's answer he immediately left the house.
Clara was crying in the living room, not expecting that Mrs. Katy would have such a heart for her. To slander and make Smith furious at her.
**
Smith came back to the house acutely, his emotions had eased a bit. He tried to act normal so that his father and mother would not know.
"Why did you just come, Smith?" asked Mrs. Katy, it turned out that Mr. Dion was not yet in the room.
"I'm sorry Mom, there was a bit of trouble at home," Smith answered, making Mrs. Katy look straight at her.
"Did you scold Clara, Smith? Ah, I feel guilty because I told you the truth," replied Mrs. Katy, changing her face as if she felt guilty.
"No, I'm not scolding Clara. I'm just reminding her, so next time it won't be like that again," Smith replied, glancing at the food on the table. "Mom, have you eaten? Can I feed you?"
Mrs. Katy nodded, Smith also fed Mrs. Katy to eat. Mrs. Katy felt happy, she was sure that Clara would be furious with Smith.
"I still don't think that Clara will leave you alone here, forgive her, OK?" Smith said between feeding Mrs. Katy.
"Yes, you don't mind that. Maybe because she doesn't know I am mean to her, she wants revenge on me when I am still sick like this," said Mrs. Katy, but Smith shook his head.
"Impossible," Smith answered, making Mrs. Katy chuckle in disgust.
Mrs. Katy returned to eating food that was fed by Smith. Meanwhile, Smith was a little worried about Clara, did he go too far to snap at her earlier? But that was also because Clara was wrong, willing to leave her mother alone in the hospital who was in such a sick condition.
