Gareth pursed his lips. “Grandpa and mom have released the statement.”
Linda shivered, then glanced at Gareth. She opened her mouth to speak, but was at a loss for words.
Gareth spoke calmly, “I owe you this. But whatever happened today was not within my expectations. Do give me two months to deal with a few things.”
Linda’s eyes waved slightly. “Garry, you…”
She seemed like she did not know what to say. In the end, Gareth interrupted her. He looked at Linda’s newly bandaged leg and asked, “Does it still hurt?”
Linda shook her head. “It’s not like I had an operation. It’s just minor scratches. They made a huge fuss over it. I’m fine. Look.”
Linda insisted. But she took in a deep, loud gasp from raising her left leg to show it to Gareth.
“Don’t force yourself!”
Gareth did not move because he was afraid that he would touch her wound. “Put your leg down.”
Linda said nothing anymore. She complied and relaxed her leg.
Not long after, the others walked in. When Linda saw Darren, she asked in a surprised tone. “Grandpa, why have you come too? It’s just a minor wound. It’s nothing to worry about.”
Darren stepped forward and sighed helplessly. “Girl, I feel sorry for you. If I had released the statement earlier, your marriage with Gareth wouldn’t have been postponed for so long!”
Monica’s eyes were full of guilt. “Linda, it is all my fault. You are a good girl. This brat, however!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand once more to hit Gareth. But Linda stopped her with a startled look on her face. “Aunty!”
