Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 319

“Stop creating more trouble when things are already in such a terrible state. You are responsible for consoling Gemma when she wakes up. You must not tell her about her disfigurement. Just tell her that she will recover with plastic surgery. As for her hands—” Edward glanced at Gemma’s heavily bandaged hands and his heart sank. “Do not tell her that she will be disabled. Just inform her that she will recover and she should focus on recuperating right now.”

After listening to Edward, Shelly cried without answering him. Hence, he asked again in a harsh manner, “Did you hear me?!” He poked the floor hard with his crutch and it thumped loudly.

She shivered whereas Samuel glared unhappily while pressing his lips into a thin line. Finally, her lips parted to mumble in agreement, “Yeah.”

After that, Edward turned to look at Samuel and Gideon. “Samuel, we shouldn’t delay the Central Square project any longer. You must not get distracted now and focus on the project instead. As for Gideon, ease the tension with the Hart Family. We must not let the Hart Family use this against us. Gemma is already in a terrible state, so I cannot let anything worse happen!”

Samuel and Gideon nodded gravely in response.

Upon saying that, Edward finally turned to glance at Gemma who was lying on the bed. His eyes were dark and gloomy. After snorting in disdain, he walked out of the room without another backward glance.

When he left the room, Shelly started to cry and she threw herself into Samuel’s arms. “Samuel, is Gemma going to end up like that forever?!”

His expression soured when he heard that. My daughter has always been just fine, but she landed into such a huge trouble not too long after arriving in Bradford City. Nevertheless, Edward doesn’t want us to do anything rash. Wouldn’t the public mock the Walton Family if this is leaked out?!

“I am sure that Old Master Walton has his reasons for doing this. We have just returned to Bradfort City, so we do not have a good foundation here. Gemma is at fault in this incident, indeed. Let’s follow Old Master Walton’s wishes for now.”

“But, Gemma is—”

“Let’s not tell her anything now. We need her to calm down first,” Samuel interrupted before Shelly could complete her sentence. He was also troubled by this incident, but he didn’t want to worry about it anymore.

Myra and Tilly, who had both managed to avoid Edward, exchanged shocked looks with each other outside the ward. Is Gemma disfigured? It seems like her hands have suffered from severe injuries too.

Tony and Gemma’s hospital rooms were on the same floor. Hence, when Myra and Tilly walked past her room, they couldn’t help but overhear the Waltons’ discussion in Gemma’s room.

Later, once Edward was farther away, Myra tugged at Tilly to make their way to the elevator.

“Miss Stark, what goes around will come around. Who would have guessed that Gemma would have ended up harming herself in her quest to hurt others? Initially, she was planning on harming Director Hart, but she ended up being disfigured instead. I am sure that she won’t be able to accept such a huge blow when she wakes up, especially since she’s such a proud and vain woman.”

The two did not pity Gemma much. This was especially true for Myra because Gemma was trying to hurt the love of her life, Tony.

“Let’s go.” Nevertheless, Myra thought in silence, Now that Gemma has ended up in such a horrid state, judging by her personality, I am sure that she would not just let this go.

After having her breakfast with Myra, Tilly went straight to the company for work. By the time Myra returned to Tony’s room, Elliot was already gone. Philip and Lucas were preparing to leave too.

“Myra, we are relying on you to look after Tony.” Philip smiled at Myra. Then, he turned to glance at a relaxed Tony lying on the bed. He must be overjoyed that he gets to enjoy Myra taking care of him.
