The Ungrateful Sister-in-law

After leaving my hometown, I threw myself back into the research project.

And I worked late every day.

My mom still had her mind set on marrying me off, constantly sending me pictures of men.

They weren't much to look at, but she kept praising them.

I didn't reply to her.

Then she called me directly. "What's going on, Leticia? Did you even see the messages I sent you? These are the best guys in our county. There's a boss who... Ouch!"

She was still talking when something happened, and the call ended abruptly.

Then my phone rang.

"Leticia, Damian's in the hospital. What should we do?"

It was Tiara, and she sounded panicked.

Damian?

"He's been vomiting and having diarrhea since last night. The doctor just said it's food poisoning. He's just a kid…"

"Food poisoning? What did you feed him?"

"Nothing special, just the formula Ansley gave us!" she cried.

"I knew that Ansley wasn't any good. The formula she gave us must've been bad, and now it made my son sick…"

Marcus chimed in from the phone.

"Shut up! Ansley is a great person. I bet it was your mom sneaking some corn mush to Damian while I wasn't looking last night…"

The voices on the phone were getting chaotic, so I held the phone away in disgust and hung up.
