Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 27

"It's a blessing to have a good appetite!"

Old Mr. Lancaster cut Isabella off, his stern eyes flashing a warning. "My granddaughter just saved someone's life. She needs to eat well to regain her strength! Is the Lancaster family unable to feed one granddaughter?"

Catherine also shot Isabella a displeased look. "Isabella, Serena just spent two hours in an operating room saving a life. She needs to replenish her energy right now."

"Besides… watching Serena enjoy the food I cooked for her so much brings me so much joy."

A look of pure happiness spread across her face.

Seeing her grandfather and mother so openly protective of Serena, Isabella's face soured. She felt both angry and wronged.

The moment Serena came back, it was as if she had become a redundant outsider in her own home.

She bit her lip hard, the jealousy so intense it ruined her appetite. A flare of anger made her speak up again. "I also heard from Alfred about you saving someone at the hospital. I had no idea you were so skilled."

As she spoke, her face lit up with an expression of warmth and admiration. "You're so young, yet your medical skills are so impressive. The Wynn family must have really cherished you to have raised you to be so outstanding. May I ask where you studied?"

At the mention of the Wynn family, the expressions of Old Mr. Lancaster and Serena's parents shifted slightly.

Before bringing Serena home, they had naturally investigated her life with the Wynn family.

Serena had been sent to the countryside as a child, raised by an old woman. The Wynn family had never been involved in her upbringing.

And that was exactly the effect Isabella wanted.

How could a country bumpkin raised in the middle of nowhere have had the opportunity to learn any advanced medical techniques?

As she saw it, the whole hospital rescue story was nothing more than a charade Serena had orchestrated to stay with the Lancaster family, using her status as their daughter to coerce Alfred into playing along.

Her grandpa and parents were so smart. They would surely see through it!

Isabella waited for them to expose Serena's true colors and put her in her place.

However, the scene she anticipated never happened.

Old Mr. Lancaster's face beamed with pride. "Just what you'd expect from my granddaughter! Truly one in a million!"

Edward looked smug. "That's my daughter, alright! A natural talent!"

Catherine's eyes sparkled with admiration. "That's my baby girl! So young and already such a skilled doctor!"

Isabella was baffled. This wasn't how she thought it would go.
