Chapter 1443

    When Keaton arrived at the hospital and checked his phone, he finally saw the news blowing up online.


    Honestly, he had nothing to say about his own mom''s antics-he just ignored it.


    After learning that Winona was out of surgery and resting in her room with an IV, Keaton headed over to find her.


    He''d barely stepped out of the elevator when he spotted Janelle in the hallway.


    Janelle had just left Winona''s room. The moment she saw her darling son, she frowned and shot daggers at him with her eyes.


    Toting her designer handbag, she marched over.


    Keaton could tell she was in full "mom fury" mode, but there was nowhere to hide. He braced himself: "Hey, Mom-”


    Janelle didn''t even respond. She grabbed his ear and dragged him around the corner, into the stairwell.


    "Ow, Mom! Take it easy, I''m your actual son!" Keaton yelped.


    Once they were behind the door, Janelleunched into a tirade.


    "Don''t call me ''Mom''! What did I do in my past life to deserve a son like you?"


    "Look at what you''ve done! Winona needed three stitches. Three! Do you have any idea how much that hurts?"


    "She''s a celebrity, for heaven''s sake! Do you know how much actresses care about their looks? She had to cut away some hair for the stitches! All because of you!"


    "It''s all your fault! Yours!"


    The more Janelle spoke, the angrier she got-she even started smacking him. Keaton tried to shield himself, apologizing as blows rained down. "Okay, I know it''s my fault! That''s why I''m here to apologize to Winona. Please, can you stop hitting me now?"


    Janelle finally stopped, catching her breath. "I don''t care how you do it just make sure Winona forgives you!"


    Keaton tried to reason with her, "Mom, can you calm down a bit? Winona''s not your daughter-inw, remember? I''ve told you a million times, there''s nothing romantic between us. We''re just friends."


    Janelle nodded vigorously. "You''re absolutely right! I don''t want Winona as my daughter-inw anymore."


    Keaton blinked. "You finally figured it out?"


    Janelle huffed, "Yep. She''s way out of your league! If she dated you, it''d be like a rose growing out of a pile of cow manure."


    Keaton stared, speechless. Nothing stings quite like your own mom roasting you.


    Janelle went on, "When I caught you two together in the family chapel the other day, I was so happy! I really thought there was something between you. Factually wanted Winona to join the Huber family."


    "I never cared she''d been married before. Compared to you, she''s practically a saint!"


    Keaton sighed. "Mom, could you not build her up by tearing me down?"


    Janelle ignored him, plowing ahead.


    "But the more I got to know Winona, I


    the more I realized you two are a terrible match! She''s just too good for you. look at her, then look at you, and honestly..."


    The look of disappointment on Janelle''s face was obvious enough that even a blind man could see it. She might as well have had "hopeless" tattooed on her forehead.


    Keaton looked at his mom like she''d lost her mind. "Mom, did Winona brainwash you or something?"


    Janelle rolled her eyes at him.


    "Actually, should thank you! If it


    weren''t for you, I never would''ve


    be a superfan for the first time in my life and such a sessful one at that!"


    "I went through the pain of bringing you into this world, raising you all these years,


    and this-this is the best thing you''ve ever done for me!"


    Keaton groaned. “Mom, that''s a bit dramatic."


    Janelle pursed her lips. "You don''t get it! Ever since I became Winona''s fan, I''ve felt more energetic every day!"


    “A woman should be her own heroine—no more swallowing her pride or putting up with nonsense!"


    "So you can stop chasing Winona. She deserves someone way better. I''m nning to ask her to be my goddaughter!"


    "When she''s feeling better, I''ll head over to the Newsom family with a proper gift basket and make it official. No-why wait? I''ll start getting ready now!"


    With that, Janelle spun around and marched off. Keaton barely had time to call after her before she turned back and shot him a warning re.


    "And you stay away from Winona! Don''t you dare mess things up for her again!"


    Keaton was left standing there,pletely dumbfounded, as his mom disappeared into the elevator.


    Is this what happens when a fifty-year-old discovers fangirling? Terrifying.<fn5295> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find{n}ovel</fn5295>
