Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey novel Chapter 72

The apple was not very big, so Angela ate it up with only a few bites. She tried to get up to throw the apple core.

“What are you waiting for?

Angela can’t get off the bed with her scalded leg. Help her with the apple core."

Denise blamed.

Hearing that, James, who was sitting aside eating an apple, stood up and slowly walked towards her bed while giving a glance at her.

Angela, whose face instantly got pale, scrambled down to the ground and threw the apple core into the trash can, "There is no need to bother Mr.James."

Seeing that she was so afraid of him, James’s eyes dimmed , but he said nothing. He just took his apple and sat back in his chair.

Denise was slightly surprised and lamented.

"I remember Angela used to be a fearless girl."

“I was just a reckless young girl then."

The sudden stand-up made Angela’s right leg tingle and she couldn’t stop trembling. Wiping the cold sweat on her head, she sat back on her bed.

She had always thought that with her brother and her family, no one dared to hurt her, but James's ruthlessness and the life in prison had given her head a blow.

James’s phone rang when he finished his apple. After saying something to Denise, he went outside to answer it.

Denise served a bowl of chicken soup to Angela.While looking at Angela’s wrapped right leg, she sighed, “Angela, do you hate me for not having helped you two years ago?”

"I could appreciate if you had done that. But it’s not your duty to help me. Besides, Mr. James is your son. Such is human nature that you choose to protect your son when there is a conflict between he and me.

And, you've been very kind to me."

Though Angela looked calm, her hands were clutching the bed sheet beneath her.

How could she not blame her?

But since her mom and dad had broken up with her, what could she expect an outsider to do for her?

Not to mention that this outsider was James’s biological mother.

Denise’s eyes shifted from the bandage to the sheets clenched by Angela, feeling a rare internal storm of contrasting emotions.

She had a bunch of words to say. She’d like to tell her own problems to this lovely girl. But she swallowed them all and just asked, "Is there any way to cure your old broken bones?"

“No, there isn’t.”

Saying 'yes' did nothing but make Denise stuck between she and James.

Denise sensed her hesitation at a glance. She toyed with the ornaments of her phone case. After a long time, her expression changed, and said.

"Angela has grown up."

"We all meant to grow up."

Angela tried to force a smile, but her heart was bitter.

On the night of her birthday two years ago, James had made her life a living hell. How could she not grow up in such two years?

“Drink the chicken soup while it's hot, it won't taste good if it's cold.”

Denise pushed the chicken soup to Angela, "If your leg can be cured, accept the treatment. Don’t worry about anything else, I'll talk to James."

BANG!

The door was suddenly opened and Adeline rushed in aggressively, "I don't agree!

Look at what she had done to Jessica. Even if her leg is curable, no doctor dare to treat her without my permission. "

The Smiths was powerful enough to do that.

Danis followed her mother in. Her handsome face looked unpleasant. Then it was a bit sorry upon seeing Angela's pale face and bandaged leg.

"Since when do you develop the habit of eavesdropping?"

Denise took out a handkerchief and wiped Angela’s mouth , "This is not a good habit."

Hearing this, the exasperated Adeline was a little embarrassed. Her face was first red, then green, and finally white, just like a colorful palette.
