"Did they slander Miss Gardner? I think we need more evidence to draw a conclusion. Right?" Suddenly, Mrs. Furnham loosened her husband's arm, stepped forward, and said with a smile to everyone.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Makenna's heart skipped a beat when she saw the smile on Mrs. Furnham's face. She had a bad hunch about it and her body tensed up.
Jared noticed Makenna's change and lowered his head to ask her, "What's wrong?"
"I... I'm fine." Makenna forced a smile and replied, "It's just… It hurts. Jared, can you take me to see a doctor?"
Her instinct told her she had to leave this place immediately. Otherwise, things would soon get out of her control.
Jared subconsciously wanted to say that they would go after this matter was settled.
However, when he saw Makenna's pleading eyes, Jared finally nodded in agreement.
He held Makenna's body and turned to leave.
Amber's eyes narrowed as she called out to them, "Stop right there. We haven't figured everything out yet. Why are you leaving?"
"That's right. Amber was regarded as the culprit, but she's still standing here. Why are you running away? Feeling guilty now?" Cole also said.
Hayden and Jeremy nodded.
There was a hint of sarcasm in Mrs. Furnham's eyes.
"We aren't running away." Makenna turned around with red eyes and said in an aggrieved voice, "I just feel my body aching so I want to see a doctor. Jared can testify."
Jared nodded slightly to show that it was true. "We will come back after we see the doctor."
"Who knows how long it'll take for you to come back?" Jeremy crossed his arms.
"Yes, you don't have to go to see a doctor yourself. What if your injury becomes worse? You'd better call the doctor over here. Mrs. Furnham, what do you think?" Hayden looked at Mrs. Furnham.
Mrs. Furnham nodded. "Of course."
As Mrs. Furnham spoke, she beckoned a waiter and asked him to call a doctor.
Makenna didn't even have time to stop them. She could only watch helplessly as the waiter walked away. She was exasperated.
She knew it.
These people were attacking her and deliberately making things difficult for her!
"Miss Gardner, you don't look so well. Is it because you are not happy that we have called a doctor for you? We are doing this for your own good. Not only are you not grateful, but you are also upset. That's not nice." Cole sized Makenna up and down and tsked.
The others echoed. "Yeah, exactly..."
"No..." Makenna was furious.
Jared patted her on the shoulder and said, "Well, Makenna, they are right. You shouldn't be angry."
"I..." Makenna's body trembled.
She was angry that these people had stopped her from leaving!
However, Makenna couldn't say that out loud. She could only suppress her anger and stop talking.
Soon, the doctor came.
Under everyone's gaze, Makenna didn't dare refuse. She could only let the doctor examine her.
After a while, the doctor said, "This lady is fine. It's just some scratches on her arm. A Band-Aid would do."
"I see. See the doctor out." Mrs. Furnham said to the waiter who brought the doctor here.
After the waiter and the doctor left, Amber said, "All right, the farce is over. Since Miss Gardner is fine, let's continue to deal with what happened just now. We should find out how Miss Gardner fell down as soon as possible."
