Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 231

"Mr. Farrell!" Ben's expression froze. He quickly pulled Makenna away and pressed the emergency bell at the bedside.

Makenna was a little annoyed at first, but when she heard the bell ringing in the ward, she realized something had happened.

"What's wrong with Jared?" She asked in a hurry.

Jared was in so much pain that he was about to faint.

Ben helped him lie down and turned to glared at Makenna, "Miss Gardner, don't you know that Mr. Farrell was injured? You hugged him so tight that his wounds had split again!"

Ben pointed at Jared's chest, which was stained with blood.

He suddenly suspected whether Miss Gardner really loved Mr. Farrell or not.

If she really loved him, she would've treated him more carefully when he was injured, for fear that she might worsen his condition.

But Miss Gardner didn't care about it at all.

Makenna panicked, "I... I didn't mean to..."

She was so happy that Jared woke up that she hugged him excitedly.

She had never thought about the consequences of the hug.

"What's wrong? Why is the bell ringing?" At this time, Lady Georgia came in with the help of Shonna Woodham and Mrs. Murphy.

Ben was wiping Jared's sweat. Hearing this, he quickly replied, "Mr. Farrell's wound is cracked."

"Dear! It's bleeding!" Shonna exclaimed.

Lady Georgia was anxious, "Ben, wasn't Jared fine just now? How did this happen?"

There was a flash of guilt in Makenna's eyes. She quickly winked at Ben, hoping that he wouldn't tell on her.

However, Ben ignored her. He put down the towel and answered, "It's Miss Gardner who caused this."

"What?" Lady Georgia's face twitched, and then she shot a cold glare at Makenna, "I knew it was you."

"I didn't do it on purpose." Makenna bit her lip and replied in a low voice. In her heart, she hated Ben so much.

Wasn't he just a lackey following Jared? How dare he disobey her?

When she and Jared got married, she would definitely fire him first!

"What do you mean by not doing it on purpose? I think you meant it. Ever since Jared was together with you, his reputation has been dragged through the mud and the Farrell family has suffered many losses. I'm well aware of how much Jared has covered up for you. I'd say, you're a jinx to Jared!" Lady Georgia's eyes were bloodshot as she pointed at Makenna and scolded her mercilessly.

At this moment, she was just an ordinary granny who was worried about her grandson, not a noble madam.

She didn't bother to maintain the manner of a lady at the moment. She had to teach Makenna a lesson today!

Makenna flustered at Lady Georgia's scolding. She was cursing Lady Georgia in her heart furiously, but she dared not talk back. She could only look at Shonna, hoping that Shonna could help her.

Shonna had always liked Makenna, not only because of her family background, but also because this future daughter-in-law knew how to behave. Makenna always complimented her and gave her valuable gifts, so she was willing to say a few good words for her.

"Mother, what you said is too harsh. Maybe Makenna really didn't do it on purpose?" Shonna said to Lady Georgia with a smile.

Lady Georgia looked at her indifferently and said, "She caused your son's wounds to split. Not only did you not blame her, but you even spoke up for her. What's wrong? In your heart, Jared is not as close as someone from another family? Sure enough, because Jared is not your biological son, you don't care about him that much."

What?

Jared wasn't Shonna's son by birth?

Makenna jerked her head up and looked at Shonna in surprise. Then, she looked at the man lying on the bed with his eyes closed. No one knew if he had fainted.

Of course, Jared and Shonna were nothing alike in terms of appearances. Moreover, Shonna behaved like a shrew, the opposite of a lady from a prestigious family. It only made sense that she and Jared weren't real mother and son.

Even Ben, who was standing by the side, was quite surprised at the truth.
