The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 35

Chloe slammed the spoon she was holding onto the floor with all her might.

After that, she glared at Charlotte, furious but determined.

"My daughter is the sweetest kid in the world; boys and girls should be treated equally."

"Charlotte, if you continue to belittle women, to treat Aria this way, you can go back home. Don't hurt

my daughter's innocent heart here."

Charlotte wanted to retort.

"Really, Chloe? You dare to snap at me? Are you trying to rebel against me?"

Chloe didn't often lose her temper. She was generally a kind and gentle person, but Charlotte pissed

her off to the point of losing her sanity.

This just shows how out of line Charlotte's words and actions were.

Bullying her was one thing, but hurting her daughter?

Absolutely not!

Oliver heard the commotion and rushed over. Seeing his son and daughter crying and his wife and

mother arguing, he felt an immense headache.

Without even asking what happened, he directly blamed Chloe, "Why are you arguing with my mom?

She's my mom, your elder. How can you be so disrespectful?"

Disrespectful?

Chloe was almost spitting blood out of anger at Oliver.

Furious, she asked, "Oliver, should elders who disrespect others also be respected? She called my

daughter a worthless girl. I've put up with it, but Aria is very sick now, and she's still talking about her

like this. Is she still human?"

Charlotte retorted, "Who are you calling non-human?"

Oliver ordered, "Chloe, apologize to my mom."

Chloe firmly replied, "No way."

Oliver clenched his fist, "Chloe, are you trying to provoke me today?"

Chloe stood her ground, "Oliver, if you dare to hit me, I'll call the police and accuse you of domestic

violence."

Charlotte backed up her son, "Oliver, hit her. Women like her only listen when they're hit. Do it now; I

support you. If she dares to call the police, I'll tell them she disrespects her elders."

Aria was terrified. She didn't want her mom to be bullied, so she quickly grabbed Oliver's sleeve and

pleaded pitifully, "Daddy, don't hit mommy, please. I'll apologize to Grandma. Grandma, I'm sorry for

upsetting you again, but can you please not bully Mommy?"

Chloe pulled her daughter into her arms and shielded her.

"Aria, this isn't your fault; you can't apologize. You can't be so weak. Otherwise, you'll be bullied, do you

understand?"

Seeing his daughter crying, Oliver loosened his fist, and perhaps he was actually afraid that Chloe

would call the police.

After all, domestic violence was not permitted by law.

While Charlotte wanted to say something else, Chloe, with Aria and Austin in her arms, had already

returned to their room.

Amelia came to mediate.

Chloe said tiredly, "Amelia, I'm sorry you had to see this."

Amelia sighed, "You really have it tough. It's a woman's worst nightmare to marry into a difficult family,

and your mother-in-law is really hard to deal with."

Outside, Charlotte's yelling was still going on.

Chloe sighed helplessly, "Sometimes, I really want to divorce Oliver."

What's the point of living with such a mother-in-law and husband?

Hearing that mom wanted to divorce, Aria started crying.

"Mommy, I don't want you to divorce Daddy. I don't want to lose you. Last time I heard grandma say if

you file for divorce, they won't give you the house, the money, me, and my brother. They'll even kick

you out of the house."

Chloe quickly held her daughter tight, "Aria, Mommy will never leave you. Don’t be scared; mommy

won't divorce; I was just venting."

"Really?" Aria was still very scared.

In her eyes, Mommy was the one being bullied in this family. If she divorces, Mommy would really be

kicked out of the house.

Then, she won't be able to see Mommy anymore.

That night, Aria kept running a high fever.

The next morning, Chloe and Oliver took Aria to the hospital.

On the way, Oliver demanded Chloe apologize to Charlotte again.

For the sake of not arguing in front of their daughter, Chloe suppressed her anger but still firmly said, "I

won't apologize."

"Chloe, how can you be so unreasonable?" Oliver questioned.

"Oliver, your daughter has been feverish all night. Can’t you care about her feelings?" Chloe retorted.

Aria weakly said, "Daddy, I feel really bad. Can you please not fight with mommy?"

Seeing that his daughter was indeed very feverish, Oliver didn't mention Chloe's apology again.

At the hospital, the doctor looked at Aria's various test reports, and his expression became very grim.

Chloe was on edge.

"Doctor, is my daughter okay?" Chloe asked anxiously.

The doctor said, "The child's persistent high fever is caused by organ disease, not a common cold

fever. Surgery is needed."

Upon hearing this news, Chloe felt weak and could barely stand.

She immediately grabbed onto Oliver.

After some inquiries, the doctor said Aria's surgery would be a minor one, but her disease was very

rare, with only three cases worldwide. This was a serious test of the doctor's skills and experience.

Without the surgery, her life would be in danger. However, no doctor in the country has done such a

surgery before.

Chloe was as pale as a ghost.

"Doctor, what should I do with my daughter? Can’t she be treated without surgery?" Chloe asked

anxiously.

The doctor said, "Our hospital dares not perform surgery on your daughter because the operation

carries a high risk. We can only provide conservative treatment or suggest that you transfer her to

another hospital."

Unwilling to give up, Chloe took Aria to several major hospitals for consultation.

Their responses were the same as the first doctor's.

For several days, Aria's high fever persisted, her consciousness was hazy, and she lay in bed all the

time.

When Roxanne heard about this, she rushed to the hospital and saw the feverish Aria., who was

unconscious. Her heart almost shattered.

She stopped working and selling at her street stall and helped Chloe look for doctors and treatments

everywhere.

A few days later, they finally found a lead at a hospital director's office.

There's this foreign doc who's got some experience in this field, and he just so happens to be in

Seraphim Haven right now. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Roxanne chimed in, "We do have this doc's address. Shall we hit the road and look for him?"

Chloe asked with worry lines drawn all over her face, "Think we'll find him?"

"No harm in giving it a shot. I’ll go check it out," Roxanne said as she grabbed her bag and got ready to

roll.

"Roxanne, I'll tag along," Oliver said, eager as a beaver to find this foreign doc and help his daughter.

Roxanne shot Oliver a look and said with a tone as cold as ice, "I don't need your company. I’ll go

alone."

Partly because she's just not into Oliver.

And partly because she didn't want to be stuck alone with Oliver, worrying it'd be a downer for Chloe.

Especially after finding out Oliver was sweet on her, Roxanne's been walking on eggshells.

However, Chloe persuaded Roxanne as she said, "Let Oliver go with you. He’s the kid's dad. He should

pull his weight. I'll stay here with Aria. I don't want her to be scared if she wakes up and I'm not here."

For Aria's sake, Roxanne agreed.

So off she went with Oliver to the doc's place: Grandeur Meadows.

It was only when they got there that Roxanne found out this was the most expensive and upscale

residential area in Seraphim Haven.

The housing prices here were through the roof.

It cost an arm and a leg, like 300k dollars per square meter.

Each house costs at least 100 million dollars.

How filthy rich must the people living here be to afford these mansions?

Before they could even set foot in the residential area, they were stopped by the security guard at the

gatehouse.

The security guard said politely, "Sir, ma'am, you ain't residents here, so you can't come in. Please

leave."

Oliver asked, ticked off, "How do you know I'm not a resident here? I just forgot to bring my access

card."

The security guard smiled cordially and said, "Sir, we don't need any access cards here. Residents get

in by face recognition."

"As soon as you're within 500 meters of the residential area, our AI system automatically identifies you

from all angles.

Even the nannies, maids, and pets of our residents can be automatically identified by our system."

"We can tell whether you're a resident here in a heartbeat. Please leave as soon as possible. Thank

you for your cooperation."

Oliver was left speechless.

Suddenly, he felt like he was a small fry.

Especially when he saw one luxury car after another driving past them, he felt even more inferior.

He'd never seen anything like this before.

But to find that doctor and save his daughter, Oliver wasn't going to sweat the small stuff.

He said angrily, "Your AI system's on the fritz. It didn't recognize that I'm a resident. Open the gate now.

I gotta get home."

The security guard replied, "Sir, you'd better face the music and leave on your own. Don't make a

scene here; it’ll be pretty embarrassing later."

Oliver said angrily, "Are you looking down on me? I am a resident here; I could have you fired, believe it

or not?"

"Oliver." Roxanne pulled him back, "Stop making a fuss. Let’s think of something else."

At this moment, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove by.

Inside the car sat Harrison, with a stern and cold look on his face.
