The city officials also tried to persuade her.

But Lila glared at Lilah with gritted teeth, looking daggers at her, asking each word deliberately, "Are you the descendant of that wicked woman?"

Lilah nodded, "That's right."

Before she could finish speaking, Lila lunged at her, attempting to grab her by the neck and take her down with her.

Feigning unpreparedness, Lilah seized the opportunity as Lila charged and caught her, restraining her arms so she couldn't move.

Lila was shocked, “Let me go!"

Her strength was formidable, almost breaking free despite being ill.

Soon, Gerard returned. Seeing him, Lila's fury intensified, wishing she could tear them apart.

"Lila, I'm not like those timid bodyguards. If you cooperate, I'll be lenient. But if you oppose me, I'll have to knock you out and take you away, " Lilah said, half-smiling, appearing gentle but with a devilish glint in her eye.

Gerard had never seen her like this and couldn't help but chuckle.

They drove her to the hospital for a check-up, despite her protests.

"I'm not sick, let me go!" Lila continued to struggle, but Lilah's strength eventually wore her out.

At the hospital, the doctors examined her and discovered severe anemia, low blood pressure, a weak heart, and most critically, her knee joint was severely deformed and needed immediate treatment.

Lila refused to cooperate with the doctors, so Lilah held her down and forced her to take medicine.

Lila glared at her with hatred, as if looking at an enemy rather than a savior.

"Lila, life's precious, and the world has so much to offer. Why seek death every day?" Lilah laughed.

She pondered why previous attempts to take Lila away had failed, realizing it was likely due to Lila's martial arts foundation, strength, sharp tongue, and ruthless nature.

After all, who would dare provoke a tough old lady who doesn't shy away from confrontation?

"You'll regret this!" Lila hissed, her voice cold and menacing.

Lilah remained unfazed, "Sorry, Lila, I've been through enough tough times.

I respond better to kindness than threats. The more you want me gone, the more I want to take you away. Besides, the doctor says your condition isn't untreatable yet, so you should consider staying with us for a few more years."

She sat by Lila's bed, filing her nails. During her struggle with Lila, her pinky nail had split, and it was just now starting to ache.

Just then, Gerard entered with a variety of snacks purchased nearby.

They set up a table, opened the packages, and the aroma filled the room, making mouths water.
