Chapter 1056: 290: Setting up a trap to abuse the scum!_3
Although it was a VIP Ward with no shortage of anything, it was still a hospital room after all.
Mr. Astir currently felt sick just from the smell of disinfectant, eagerly wanting to return home.
Isla Astir poured a glass of water for her father, "Return home! You haven't fully recovered yet. The doctors certainly won't let you go home. You should rest in the hospital. We will be discharged in ten days."
The moment Mr. Astir heard that he would have to stay for another ten days, he sighed.
At this moment, footsteps and voices were heard from outside the ward.
"Is your father-in-law okay?"
Then came Mrs. Astir's voice, "Nothing serious, he has already had the surgery! We owe it to our Isla for having a friend at the hospital, arranged for us a what's-the-name-of-the-farting ward. It's too comfortable in here!"
Mrs. Astir was a typical rural woman. She didn't have a high education level, she only attended third grade and was illiterate. She didn't know the meaning of VIP.
The visitor was Isla Astir's aunt, Sabrina Sabir.

Sabrina Sabir, who was on the same educational level as Mrs. Astir, curiously said, "This is the first time I've heard of a farting ward! City folks like to make up some pretentious names."
Voices and footsteps were getting close.
Then, Mrs. Astir opened the door.
Upon seeing the interior of the ward, Sabrina Sabir's face was full of surprise, "Oh my goodness! This isn't a hospital room! It's much more luxurious than where we live! Isla is truly capable. Not like my two troublesome ones! Not only are they incompetent, but they also only ask for money from me every day!"
By the end, she sounded slightly resentful.
Sabrina Sabir was truly envious of her sister-in-law.
Indeed, her sister-in-law Olivia Armstrong was a lucky fool. Olivia lost her ability to have children due to a fall into a freezing river when she was eighteen.
In this world, hardly any young man would want to marry a woman unable to bear children. So out of desperation, Olivia had to marry a man from the same village who was in poor health.
This man was now Mr. Astir, William Astir.
Unable to bear children and William Astir's poor health led the couple to be separated from the family by grandparent Astir just after their marriage. They were given only a leaking mud house, a few broken pots, pans, and ladles, and ten pounds of rice.
Luckily, the couple was very diligent. In the countryside, as long as you have a pair of hands, you won't starve.
When William Astir was thirty-five, he stumbled upon an abandoned baby on the road. Without any children of their own, he and Olivia brought the baby home.
They named her Isla Astir.
Over the years, William Astir and Olivia treated Isla as their own, anything good to eat, even a small apple or an egg, they would save for Isla.
At the time, people in the village were laughing at the couple, mocking them for raising someone else's child.
A child of someone else will always be someone else's. Once she grows up, she will definitely go looking for her birth parents!
When grandparent Astir found out about this, they were strongly opposed and cursed. Their original plan was for everything William and Olivia earned over the years to go to her eldest son after their death.
To leave it to their eldest son and grandson was always better than leaving it to an outsider.
There's an old saying that you shouldn't let your wealth spill over onto other people's land!
Who would have expected that the obedient William Astir for the first time didn't listen to his mother. He was determined to adopt Isla, and he broke off his relationship with his mother because of this. At the time, the whole village scolded William Astir!
To sever ties with his biological mother for a child from nowhere!
What kind of son does that in this world!
The grandmother Astir also threw down a harsh sentence, she cut ties with William for the rest of her life. If Isla ever ran away, he shouldn't have the audacity to seek his grandson's care in his old age!
Latter, grandmother Astir left with her eldest son and grandson's family, and they did not return for twenty years.
The once abandoned baby had grown up into a tall and beautiful young girl and had become the most successful girl in the village.
No one could have imagined that after becoming successful, not only did Isla not search for her birth parents out of ingratitude, but also bought all sorts of gold jewelry, clothes, and gave them money for Mr. and Mrs. Astir. Finally, she even brought the two of them to live in the Capital City.
This action made the whole village green with envy.
"Hello Auntie."
At this moment, Isla Astir took the initiative to greet her.
At the voice, Sabrina Sabir's thoughts were pulled back from her distance. She looked up at Isla Astir, smiling, "It's been quite a while. Isla, you've become even more beautiful!"
