Never Late, Never Away Chapter 623
She felt sick whenever she glanced at Rachel, who looked like a walking dead now.
“Oh, okay. I’ll get a glass of water for you now.” Rachel hastily grabbed a glass from the table but still stared at Evelyn.
Since Rachel walked backward while she talked, she didn’t realize a small tool behind her. As such, she tripped over it and fell. Also, the glass was broken and shattered all over the floor.
Evelyn immediately glanced away in disgust after witnessing it. She’s not a kid anymore! This is so embarrassing!
“Evelyn, did the broken pieces of glass cut your skin? Are you alright?”
After getting up, Rachel’s first reaction was to rush toward Evelyn and check if she was injured.
“I’m fine. You should be careful,” Evelyn knitted her brows and said impatiently.
“I know. I’ll be careful next time. Wait a minute. Let me get another glass of water for you,” Rachel said as she looked at Evelyn with guilt.
Deep down, Rachel scolded herself for being old and useless, for she couldn’t even get a glass of water for her daughter.
She hastily grabbed another glass on the table and limped toward the water dispenser. Her knee was probably scraped when she fell to the floor earlier on. However, she wasn’t bothered by the pain in her knee.
After filling up the glass, she smilingly handed it over to Evelyn and said, “Evelyn, have some water.”
Actually, Rachel’s hand was also scrapped by the broken pieces of glass and bleeding. She didn’t notice that she accidentally stained the glass with her blood.
On the other hand, Evelyn was about to lose it once she noticed the crimson stain. Is this lowly woman really my biological mother? How do I ever muster up the courage to acknowledge her as my mother?
