Chapter 106 How Could Fu Ya Hurt Me Like This
The nurse’s face paled and flushed by turns as she spoke softly, "I know I’m inconsequential and my next words might offend you, but as an outsider, I truly believe your twilight years could be very good. Many people are kind to you; they all want to visit you. Here, many elderly keep hoping for their relatives to come, but those relatives are unwilling to visit, and they just wait every day without hope. You are pushing away other people’s kindness, thinking everyone has an ulterior motive."
"You understand nothing. Each one of them has an agenda!" Madame Chu’s eyes reddened, yet no tears fell. "If I were of no value to them, they wouldn’t bother with me at all. The nicer they are to me, the more valuable they consider what I possess."
The nurse was left speechless by the rebuttal.
She was just an outsider, after all. Madame Chu was her client, and all she needed to do was take good care of her without interfering in her decisions.
Madame Chu’s chest heaved, still affected by the nurse’s words.

Madame Chu glanced at Fu Bing.
Fu Bing was wearing a double-sided embroidered dress, its exquisite embroidery depicting a lakeside scene.
Madame Chu had initially glanced casually, but her eyes paused instantly upon seeing the dress.
