Poison Or Honey?

Chapter 90

Grace sat on a long sofa inside Sandra's in-patient room. The middle-aged woman with her beautiful, inedible look observed Sandra who was trying to stand up to move the seat from the wheelchair to the sofa.

"You don't have to move on the couch. Just there" said Grace.

Sandra looked awkwardly at Grace who was her mother-in-law the first time she saw in person. "sorry". Said Sandra in a slow tone.

Grace combed Sandra's appearance. Bandage wrap still covers the hands up to the elbows as well as the soles of the feet up to the knees. Grace unconsciously grimaced. But a smile rises when staring at the face of Sandra who looks innocent without a sweep of makeup at all. It looks natural and child-faced.

"How old are you?" Grace looked at Sandra.

"20 years, lady"

Grace frowned looking confused as well as disliked. "Mrs? Did you hire me to call me madam?" Ask Grace.

Sandra glanced at Retno clumsily. "Sorry, Mom. My daughter seems awkward about meeting you all of a sudden". Retno tried to mediate.

"Aawkwardly? Why are you awkward with me? If you enter my family, you must lift your chin with confidence. You must not give the slightest gap to those who will bring you down". Grace looked at Sandra right into her bead.

Sandra was flabbergasted to hear Grace's telling her. "What does that mean....."

"That means I accept you as my son-in-law. My son told me everything. Well... Although I was very confused at first and I don't know why he chose a caddy as his second wife, but after seeing you...." Grace looked at Sandra with a smile. "That's it.. Forgetit".

"Is everything in your body my daughter-in-law's doing?"

Sandra and Retno glanced silently. Grace realized something and laughed and displayed a row of clean white teeth. "Hahahhaha gosh! I just remembered that I have two daughters-in-law!" Grace said, laughing. "I mean, did my first daughter-in-law harm you?".

Sandra was stunned for a moment. He was confused as to what to answer because after all he did not know whether his mother-in-law really knew everything or not. If Sandra tells Nadya's behavior the other day, Sandra worries that it will only be considered a provocation by Grace.

"I told you my son told me everything, didn't he? I just want to hear it from your mouth".

Sandra nodded slowly. "This is indeed the act of your first daughter-in-law...."

"Call me mama like my son" Timpal Grace. Sandra nodded with a smile.

"I heard you also miscarried?" Ask Grace again.

"Yes, Ma." Sandra reflex rubbed her stomach. "I lost it..."

Grace stood up and approached Sandra. Retno who had just been silent finally chose to give Sandra and Grace time to get to know each other. Retno stepped out to contact her husband who was still at home.

Grace sat at the end of the sofa and stared fixedly at Sandra who lowered her head on her wheelchair. Grace clasped Sandra's cold hand. "I knew. My son is the guilty one here. He pulled you into the maelstrom of his household troubles with Nadya and you just became an outlet for my first son-in-law's anger". Said Grace gently.

Sandra looked at Grace until she unknowingly shed tears. "Why is my mom so good to me? I don't think I deserve this kind of treatment".

Grace pulled her body up to lean on the sofa as she chuckled softly. "I'm like this because I know you're just a victim of my son's selfishness. Another story if you already know the status of my married son and you keep teasing him, it means you are not a good woman and do not deserve to be on my son's side". Grace said casually.

"I also feel very sorry for my first son-in-law, even though he did make a mistake but I can't bear to see him destroyed like that. He's been with my son since they were both teenagers. But how else? God has other plans for my son, and you are in God's plan. I can what? I'm just thankful you're a nice, innocent woman. I don't care about your family background". Grace is long.

"I........"

"My son has filed for divorce for my first son-in-law, do you know?" Grace cut out Sandra's speech.

Sandra was surprised not to hear that. "Gu-gug divorced?"

Grace nodded. "Yes. Why are you surprised? Shouldn't you be happy? You won't be the second wife anymore". Grace's words that make Sandra silent a thousand languages.

HEADLINE NEWS: Satya Nagara, CEO of Nagara Corp, is officially married to the daughter of the Carlton family, Nadya Carlton. But it is suspected that the only son of the Nagara family has betrayed him by remarrying a golf caddy.

PRAAAAKKKK!

Chandra threw an ipad against the wall. The middle-aged man rubbed his face violently. His chest was seen going up and down restraining the tempestuous emotions within him.

"Why is it like this?!" Chandra snapped at Satya who was standing not far from him.

"If like this everything I do with Aldanar goes to waste! Who leaked this news?! Me and Aldanar have even agreed to close a meeting on this!".

Satya looked at the father silently, but her hands were clenched tightly until her fingers turned white. "I'll find out as soon as I can who exposed this matter to the media". Said Satya with a firm tone.

"You have to find out and take care of the media until it's done!" Chandra's touch with emotion.
