Chapter 1538 - 1530: Wherever the Gaze Falls, There Lies Eternity: Caught by the Mother-in-law

The young boy said indistinctly while chewing, "It’s pretty good, why don’t you want to eat?"

Violet Zimmerman stared blankly at her young brother-in-law beside her. The young boy grabbed her wrist and took another bite, then pushed the apple back towards Violet Zimmerman’s lips, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and eat, it’s quite tasty."

Looking at the apple pushed back, the side facing her happens to be where the young brother-in-law had just bitten. Unlike girls, boys eat openly and boldly; Joseph Lancaster only took two bites, yet half of the apple in his hand was gone.

As Violet Zimmerman hesitated, the apple was already pushed to her lips. Reluctantly, she had to open her mouth and take a small bite.

Her heart was in turmoil, as if the piece of apple in her mouth carried the saliva of her young brother-in-law, sweet, crispy, with a hint of the taste from the boy’s mouth.

Joseph Lancaster leaned back again; the boy’s stature was not short, and leaning against the pillow at the back still made him a head taller. To be more comfortable, Joseph Lancaster tilted his head and rested it on Violet Zimmerman’s shoulder.

The young boy closed his phoenix eyes, his lips curved in satisfaction, listening to soothing music contentedly.

Violet Zimmerman felt as if she had been paralyzed, slowly nibbling on the apple on her fingers, her body stiff, not daring to move.

The lyrics in the earphones were completely disregarded; at this moment, Violet Zimmerman’s mind was filled with thoughts of whether to take advantage of this opportunity to do something.

Often, the body’s reaction is faster than the brain; as this thought flashed through her mind, Violet Zimmerman’s head had already tilted over, resting on the boy’s head, mechanically nibbling the apple in her hand, her heart pounding wildly.

"Violet, Daxton asked me to bring you dinner." Lorelei Howard’s voice sounded at the door, followed by a clap of thunder.

"What are you two doing!"

Lorelei Howard stood at the hospital room door, one hand pushing the handle, the other holding a net bag, looking at the aunt and nephew nestled together on the hospital bed, her face already flushed with anger.

Suddenly, Violet Zimmerman quickly raised her head. Her movement was so fast that it strained the arm with the plaster cast, causing her to wince in pain.

Joseph Lancaster also opened his phoenix eyes, turning to look at his angry mother, accusingly saying, "Mom, why are you shouting, you scared me!"

Lorelei Howard also realized something, briskly stepped in and closed the room door, her face cold as she looked at her son, "Joseph, come here!"

"Mom, what’s the matter, I’m listening to music." Joseph Lancaster reluctantly remained on the hospital bed without budging.

"I told you to come here, did you hear me?"

Lorelei Howard got even angrier; her son Daxton Lancaster was on a business trip, and she called at noon asking her to come and bring dinner to her daughter-in-law, saying the hospital’s evening meals were leftovers from lunch, but what did she see when she came in?

Her youngest son and daughter-in-law leaning against each other with their heads together.

Regardless of whether the two had an inappropriate relationship, if outsiders saw this, who knew what they would say!

"Alright, alright, I’m coming, don’t shout, my ears are going to be deafened by you." Joseph Lancaster took off his earphones and tucked them into Violet Zimmerman’s lap, jumped off the hospital bed and walked over.

The naive young boy thought his mother was angry because he hadn’t come over, but Violet Zimmerman knew that her mother-in-law was upset because of their intimate behavior just now.

She should have greeted her, but at that moment, Violet Zimmerman felt guilty and kept her head down, silently nibbling on the small piece of apple.

She was mentally prepared to be scolded, after all... caught red-handed by her mother-in-law.
