Dorothy and Kenneth walked up to the door of ward V1 together. The two bodyguards on either side looked at them, hesitating, seemingly torn about whether or not to stop them.

After all, Kenneth was a fresh face.

"This is my boyfriend," Dorothy said, knowing her mother could hear from inside, so she had to say it out loud.

Kenneth, standing to the side, couldn't help but smirk, turning his body to whisper to her, "You don't sound like you're introducing your boyfriend at all. It's more like we're about to sit down and negotiate a contract or something.” She thought about what she had just said, and then it hit her, and she laughed at her own stupidity.

So, the first thing Bella saw when she looked at them was them smiling at each other.

"Mom!" Seeing her mother lying on the hospital bed with a stern face, Dorothy quickly stopped laughing and walked over, standing by the bed, trying to put as much distance as possible between Kenneth and her mother.

Because she was really afraid that Bella would start ranting, get all worked up, and actually slap him! "Hello, I'm sorry, I've been really busy with work recently and haven't been able to come and see you. It's my fault,” Kenneth said.

He was playing his boyfriend role very well. His handsome face was full of apology and fear, looking genuinely nervous and lost, like meeting his partner's parents for the first time.

But Bella was not easily fooled.

She scanned them both from head to toe, finally locking her gaze on Kenneth's face. "You two really registered your marriage?" "Um..." He lowered his head, sounding sincere, "Although | know it's wrong to do so, | really do love Dorothy and want to spend my life with her." "And what about you?" Bella suddenly turned to her daughter.

Dorothy was taken aback, still not as natural as Kenneth, "I... I'm definitely sincere too. Otherwise, | wouldn't have impulsively gotten the marriage license.” "What do your parents think of my daughter? They surely don't know about this, do they?" "They know!" Kenneth quickly said, "And they really like her. They said I'm lucky to have married such a beautiful girl." "Huh." Bella suddenly laughed coldly, "If that's the case, why didn't they come today?" Dorothy, knowing her mother was about to start giving them a hard time, quickly interjected, "Mom! Wasn't it agreed that | would just bring him here myself today?" "But if they really accept you, why would they just let him come alone? Who gets their daughter married, has the license already, and hasn't even met the in-laws yet? No one would believe it if you told them!" Dorothy knew her mother had already thought up a series of tests waiting for her here! It was not that easy to bluff her way through.

Just as the situation was about to enter an extraordinarily awkward stage, suddenly, Kenneth said in a surprised tone, "You mean, you're willing to meet my parents?" Not expecting him to say that, Bella raised an eyebrow at him.

"They knew | was coming today and mentioned several times that they wanted to come too. They thought it would show our family's sincerity and their approval of Dorothy as their daughter-in-law! But Dorothy told me earlier that you prefer quiet and are afraid of being disturbed, so | didn't let them come.” Dorothy silently gave Kenneth a thumbs-up in her heart, thinking that as a teacher, he was quick on his feet.

But the next second, Bella spoke up directly, "If that's really the case, then could you please ask them to come over now? Otherwise, your parents might think I'm a difficult person to get along with!" That was very abrupt.

"Mom! Don't you dare..." "Well, since you don't mind, I'll call them now. I'm sure my parents will be thrilled to come and meet you!"
