"I'm sorry, I just... I was thinking about other things, and I accidentally stumbled."Wendy pretended to be apologetic after Mrs. Zora assisted her to the sofa in the living room.Byron stood still behind the two and did not respond after he heard this.Wendy’s heart sank, and she added sheepishly. “Must have been just a tiny sprain. I’ll massage it, then go look for Auntie to tell her about your situation."She smiled at Byron as if trying to ease his worries. She thought this remark would be able to win his sympathy.Perhaps he would let her stay tonight.Unexpectedly, Byron just nodded flatly. Then, he suddenly squatted in front of her.Wendy could not react for a while.After a while, a piercing pain came from her ankle, and Wendy's face suddenly changed."Does it hurt?" Byron grabbed her injured ankle with one hand and asked.Wendy gritted her teeth and nodded.Byron let go. "This should be a bone injury."Wendy's eyes brightened at the man’s words. She tested the wat
Upstairs, Estie waited for quite a while. It was only when she was very hungry did she open the door and walk out. As soon as she got downstairs, she heard that Mean Auntie wanted to stay with them.In an instant, alarm bells rang in the little girl's heart, and she ran to her father's side as quickly as her little legs could carry her.‘Daddy and Auntie Rosalie haven't reconciled yet. If she knows that Mean Auntie is staying at our home, she’ll be even angrier!’Moreover, the little girl feared that Daddy would make Mean Auntie her mommy.The little one stared at her father with her big watery eyes, and her thoughts were self-evident.Byron met the little girl's eyes, stroked her head comfortingly, and turned to look up at Wendy in front of him.Wendy's heart skipped a beat. She knew that Byron’s answer might not be what she wanted."With your current situation, it's best to go to the hospital in time to deal with it. If it gets worse, I won't be able to explain it to my moth
"Daddy!" Estie hurriedly urged when her daddy kept silent for a while. Byron came back to his senses and nodded helplessly to the little girl.Only then did Estie let go of her hand and watch him go downstairs.Downstairs, Wendy waited anxiously.When Byron came down, she was still a little apprehensive.‘The little b*tch deliberately talked to Byron behind my back because she didn't want him to send me to the hospital.’Wendy knew that Byron had always doted on Estie. He even delayed marrying her because of that little b*tch.Now, it was hard to guarantee whether she would have to go to the hospital by herself because of that little b*tch's words.Even until the moment Byron stood still in front of her, Wendy could not calm down."Dr. Miller, I’ll need to trouble you to assist Miss Fuller."Byron turned his head and told the family doctor beside him.Hearing this, Wendy's eyes widened suddenly. She thought that she had guessed right. ‘Byron really doesn’t intend to accompa
At that moment, the couple's faces became ugly.They knew that Byron planned to cancel the engagement, but they did not expect that he would be so indifferent to their daughter.On the phone, Byron had already explained that Wendy might have a broken bone.‘The injury is so serious, yet he doesn’t even want to help her.‘If this was photographed and spread, wouldn't their engagement be just empty talk?’The couple's thoughts went back and forth, and in the end, they compromised."Wendy, what happened? How did you get hurt so badly?" The couple seemed to not have noticed Byron's indifferent attitude. They directed their attention to their daughter with concern on their faces. They naturally took over the doctor's duty.Wendy's inner emotions suddenly magnified at the sight of her parents. She frowned and said nothing.On the side, Dr. Miller hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Miss Fuller accidentally tripped on some steps and hurt her ankle, but it's not serious
As soon as Byron walked out of the hospital, his phone rang.It was the landline at home."Daddy, when are you coming back?"As soon as it was connected, Estie's milky little voice was heard.Hearing this, Byron replied. "I’m already on the way. You should go to bed first. I’ll come and tuck you in later." The little girl agreed and hung up the phone quickly.When Byron returned to the manor, it was already late at night.He did what he promised on the phone. As soon as he entered the door, he went to the little girl's bedroom.Unexpectedly, the little girl was still awake. When she saw him coming in, she pouted in silence angrily.Byron frowned. "Why are you angry?"Estie complained in her childlike voice, "Daddy, you came back too late!"If Daddy was staying with Auntie Rosalie, the little girl would be alright even if her daddy did not come back at all and spent the night with Auntie Rosalie. However, Daddy was with the mean auntie that she disliked. One hour, includin
That night, Wendy was taken back to the Fuller Villa by her parents."You are injured, so don't go out during this time, just stay at home."Magdalene sat by the bed as she looked at her daughter inexplicably.Hearing this, Wendy glanced at her, deeply livid in her heart. "You have thought that I went for wool and come home shorn, and I’d be a laughingstock if this was made known to the public!"Over the years, her parents raised her like a commodity, and they cannot stop thinking about how to marry her off to Byron Lawrence.Wendy also had the same idea.However, when faced with such parents, she felt inevitably disappointed.What's more, they were of no help at all!Magdalene's expression froze slightly, and she was stunned for a few seconds before she responded. "How can you say that about your mother? I cared about you, how are you going to go out if your foot is hurt like this?"Wendy gritted her teeth fiercely, her hands beside her was also clenched tightly.‘I refuse t
Early the next morning, the news of Wendy's injury spread.That morning, Melody called to express her concerns."Wendy, I heard you were injured?"Wendy sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her injured ankle, her face was cold, but her voice was very sweet."It's just an accidental fall. Don't worry, Auntie."Hearing this, Melody frowned. "How did you fall? Didn't you go to see Byron yesterday? Does he know about your injury?"Wendy's tone was a bit awkward. "Auntie, just leave it be...""He knows!" Melody immediately guessed.‘Whenever I asked about the matter between the two of them, every time Byron would just tell me to leave it alone, and now even Wendy started to say the same!’Thinking of this, Melody felt furious. "Tell me, dear, how did your injury happen?"Wendy's eyes flashed with satisfaction when she heard that the older woman had guessed the matter pretty well.She kept silent for a few seconds, on the pretense of embarrassment, and then said slowly, "When I
Wendy put away her thoughts and nodded to her mother. "Let her come up."Magdalene agreed and went downstairs to call Andrea up.Early in the morning, Andrea found out about Wendy's injury.On top of that, there was still another matter in her heart. So, she delayed no more and rushed directly to Fuller Villa.After getting Magdalene's permission, Andrea hurried upstairs."Hey hey, slow down dear, what's the rush? I just got a little injury, that’s all." Wendy could hear Andrea trotting outside the room, so she feigned concern.As she said that, the footsteps in the corridor stopped.Outside the bedroom, Andrea stood at the door, looked down at her mobile phone, and then at the door in front of her, as she reevaluated the situation for quite a while.Only until Wendy dragged her injured foot over to open the door that she suddenly came back to her senses."Earth to Andrea! Why are you standing there?" Wendy's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.If the phone call to Melody wasn’t s
