Before she could finish, Charles interrupted her with a cold voice, "What now? Do you want to tell me the kid is dying again? Enough already! She made hundreds of calls last night. Isn't that enough drama? Can't she even lie properly? It was just a small surgery. It's impossible for someone to die!"
"Joanne this, Joanne that, all day long. Don’t forget, I am your son and the successor of the Orville Family! Who is Joanne? She is not even as good as a dog! Her lies make me sick!"
My mother-in-law tried to say something else, but Charles hung up on her.

At that moment, the lights in the operating room turned off.
The doctor came out, his face full of anger.
"Who told you to replace the child’s blood with pig’s blood? Are you crazy? Do you have any common sense at all? Pig’s blood is not the same as human blood! No wonder he got infected!"
"We’re very sorry, Ma’am. We tried to save him, but it was no use. The poor kid has died. This is really terrible."
