Wendy was sitting on the ground and frowned. Her face was full of pain.
It seemed that she couldn't even stand up.
She was always good at acting. Emily never denied it.
But now, she didn't need to pay attention to this woman.
Emily was about to leave while Wendy said pitifully, "Emily, I will remember what Mrs. Gale said to me last night."
Mrs. Gale? Which Mrs. Gale?
Emily looked at Wendy. The only Mrs. Gale she knew was Wendy's mother, Kate.
But, why did Wendy call her mother like this?
Wendy did not give her the opportunity to think, and immediately said, "I will try to keep away from Hunter and do not embarrass you.”
“You keep away from Hunter?" It was such a big joke that Emily sneered, "Do you think I will believe it?"
“I... I will try to not think about him."
Wendy bowed her head. It looked like she wanted to cry.
Emily really didn't want to see her perform anymore. However, Wendy's action was really weird.
Wendy was clearly acting for others. Of course, she would not be the only audience!
Just as Emily thought of this, an anxious voice has sounded behind her, "Wendy, why are you sitting on the ground?”
looked at Wendy sitting on the ground, Matriarch Jackson felt heartache for no reason.
“It's cold on the ground. Get up! Don't freeze!"
Although it was still October and the weather was not very cold, it was not good for a girl to sit on the ground.
It turned out that Wendy wanted to act for Matriarch Jackson. How could Matriarch Jackson and Patriarch Jackson not see through such a clumsy scheme?
But Emily did not expect that when she looked at Matriarch Jackson, Matriarch Jackson's eyes were complicated.
Matriarch Jackson just glanced at her, and then looked at Wendy anxiously, “Wendy, get up quickly.”
Wendy tried to get up. But she just stood up a little bit and immediately fell back.
She let out a low voice which was full of pain.
“I'm sorry, Matriarch Jackson. I... My feet may...”
“What's wrong with your feet? Does it hurt?” Matriarch Jackson was so anxious that she wanted to go and help her up in person.
Patriarch Jackson's hand fell on her shoulder and gently pressed her back.
He lifted his chin, and the maid behind him immediately went over to help Wendy up. Then, she helped Wendy sit down beside the flower bed.
The maid looked at Wendy's feet and turned to look at Matriarch Jackson and said, “Matriarch Jackson, her ankle is injured and swollen so much."
Emily's line of sight also fell on Wendy's ankle. She did not expect that it was really red and swollen!
But she was OK just now. Was it worth to hurt herself like this just in order to frame her?
“How come? Call the doctor quickly. Hurry up!"
Matriarch Jackson was so anxious that her eyes were red.
Although Patriarch Jackson didn't understand why Matriarch Jackson cared so much about the two sisters, he couldn't calm down when Matriarch Jackson was so anxious.
For fear that Matriarch Jackson would be ill again, Patriarch Jackson said, “Hurry to call the doctor.”
Listening to his order, the maid ran quickly to the back room of the main house.
Matriarch Jackson lived in the back room. In order to take care of her, there was a medical room in the back room, and several doctors and nurses were usually there.
Soon, the doctors and nurses rushed over. Seeing that Matriarch Jackson cared about Wendy, they did not dare to be careless.
"This lady's ankle is sprained. It's probably due to an accidental fall.”
The doctor took out the prepared ice and packed it with a special tool to cool her ankle.
Wendy frowned tightly, and her lower lip was bitten out with a pale color.
But she held back the pain and fought back the tears.
This girl was really strong and tolerant. Matriarch Jackson didn't know whether she had always been like this.
