The only sound in the car was Annetta trying to flatter Ethan, "Tell me, how did you manage to snap his wrist with just one move? Like this? Or like this?"
Upon reaching the Harris family's residence, the chattering girl finally fell asleep in Ethan's arms, as if she was exhausted.
Ethan carried the sleeping Annetta out of the car. Coincidentally, he met Harris family doctor, Doctor Perry, and Bettina at the door.
Doctor Perry looked at Annetta in Ethan's arms and quickly looked away. "Young Master Ethan, you're back," he greeted Ethan coolly.
In the Harris family, everyone knew that Ethan doted on this ugly girl Annetta. Therefore, everyone in the family was used to this type of situation.
Doctor Perry was their long-time family doctor and was someone that Ethan respected. He nodded and asked, "Hello Doctor Perry, what brings you here today?"
Doctor Perry replied, "Miss Walker's wound on her leg is infected. I helped her treat it since I happened to be here today to deliver medicine to you."
"Yes, Uncle Perry, thank you so much," Bettina said. "Miss White accidentally pushed me to the ground, and I had no idea my leg was infected. I apologise for taking up some of your time, Uncle Perry."
Bettina's father, Bert Walker, had been a long-serving servant of the Harris family. Ethan had been kidnapped as a child by an enemy of the Harris family. Bert had sacrificed his life to save Ethan's. As a result, even though Bettina was only a servant in the Harris family, she was of higher rank than the other servants.
It was not surprising for Doctor Perry to treat her.
It was also because of Bert that Ethan always turned a blind eye to her behaviour and doings.
Over the years, Bettina always felt that she had a special place in Ethan's heart. Until the first time, Ethan brought Annetta home, and she saw for herself how much he doted and cared for this ugly woman.
She felt even more strongly that, with her beauty, she was a better fit to be the future daughter-in-law of the Harris family.
As soon as this idea came to mind, it began to take root and grow until she could no longer control it.
