The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then appeared slightly guilty.

Something serious happened, and she didn't even tell us. We're worried about her!" Worried? Aveline could hardly see any concern in her demeanor! Aveline replied, "With the way you all were acting just now like you were ready to tear her apart the moment you saw her, how could I possibly let you in? She still needs to rest. You should leave." "You!" The woman bristled. "How dare you try to send us away? I'm Annie's mother, we're her family! No matter what you say, you're just an outsider. Even if the police come, you have no right to stopfrom seeing my daughter. Move aside, move aside!" With that, she tried to push Aveline out of the way.

Annie winced in pain, her face paling slightly. Fear flickered in her eyes-a fear born from her own family-but she still mustered the courage to say, "Don't try to extort Aveline. It waswho bumped into her. My broken arm has nothing to do with her!" "Nothing to do with her?" the woman retorted sharply.
"She admitted it herself-she knocked into you! You've only got one arm left, and now that's broken too. How are you supposed to earn money and help with the bills? What about your brother's school fees? How are we supposed to survive? You're nothing but an ungrateful, useless burden!" The middle-aged woman, ignoring everything else, continued to hurl insults and reached out again to grab Annie by the neck.
Aveline quickly stepped in, blocking her path.
