Chapter 13: Misunderstanding
She limped away from Paul.
Paul looked at her back with his lips bitten.
Amy walked for a while and suddenly turned to look at him.
Under the warm yellow light, Paul had no emotion at all in his eyes.
"Laura called you elder brother.I wonder Who's older, you or my husband?"
When Amy asked about his age, she felt that the atmosphere was subtle.
‘‘I must have been out of my mind tonight to ask such a silly question”
Hearing Amy's sudden question, Paul was sort of amused.
A flash of joy appeared in his eyes, and his lips curled into a half- smile.
"We're the same age."
He stepped forward but did not help her anymore as she told Amy limped beside him and they entered the living room.
The doctor who had just arrived had been sent back, and Paul ordered the servant to bring her a bottle of medicinal liquor.
"Thank you, sir.’’ Amy didn't know how many times she had said the words tonight.
Paul did not stay in the living room and went upstairs.
He was very disciplined and never slept past eleven.
It was already time to bed.
After rubbing her ankle with the liquor Amy limped back to her bedroom.
As soon as she lay down, her phone received a new message from Vera, her friend.
With so many strange things happening tonight, Amy needed to talk to somebody.
"So you're not at the Howard family tonight? Does Mrs.Tache know these? I'm so worried about you."
Amy sighed as she typed fast on the phone screen.
"I don't want to.She won't forgive me if I go back now.You cannot imagine how unlucky I am tonight.I'll talk to you in detail later when I get back to school."
The graduation ceremony was approaching, so they would meet soon at the ceremony.
After comforting her for a while, Vera then ended the conversation.
Amy fell asleep peacefully.
The next morning, when Amy woke up, it was already ten o'clock.
She checked her phone and found it had been bombarded by so many calls from the Howard family.
She was rather flustered.
Last night, Amy felt as if her body was burning.
she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't fall asleep.
Because Amy was too embarrassed to bother others, she kept enduring the pain.
Due to the overnight's tiredness, she was not fast asleep until early in the morning and did not hear the phone ring at all.
Amy hurriedly put on her original clothes that were already dry.
She realized that Paul was not in the villa, so she told the servant and rushed back to the Howard family hurriedly.
At this time, the Howard family was in a depression.
Mrs.Tache sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, trying not to lose her temper.
As soon as Amy stepped into the house, she felt that a pair of stern eyes were staring at her.
Mrs.Tache's gaze was so ruthless that she was going to tear Amy to pieces.
"Mrs.Tache."
She called Mrs.Tache in a well-behaved manner, looking very obedient.
Rachel's expression was full of sarcasm, and her eyes were ablaze with fury.
"Where did you go last night?"
The mood in the room was subdued.
Rachel had been in the Howard family for so long, so she already had the temperament of a superior.
Amy seemed out of breath.
"I went to my friend's home.I accidentally got wet last night and had a fever, so I have to rest at her home.’ Fortunately, before she came back, she had already told Vera.
If Mrs.Tache didn't believe her, she could call Vera now to seek confirmation.
"Your friend's home?" Rachel stood up, and there was anger in her eyes.
"Amy, do you remember the day you got married?"
"I warned you not to embarrass the Howard family! Not only did you betray my son, but also you learned to lie now! " Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
If it weren't for her good upbringing, Rachel would have slapped Amy directly.
Amy was not good enough to marry her son, but now she was seducing other men.
Rachel only felt anger in her heart.
She could not bottle it up now.
Amy pinched her lips.
"Who told Mrs.Tache the news? Laura?’’ But Laura didn't even scc her last night.
"Mrs.Tache, trust me.I didn't betray Paull."
"Kneel outside The yard! If I don't ask you lo gel up, you have to keep kneeling!" Rachel was so angry that she interrupted Amy directly.
Her chest heaved violently with anger.
She wished she could tell Mr.Howard about it now and kick this shameless woman out.
But Mr.Howard was still abroad.
She had to wait for his coming back, and then everything would be solved.
Amy was calm.
Rechel was in a rage.
If she continued to argue, the punishment would not be as simple as kneeling.
She got up and went to the courtyard.
She fell to her knees with a big plop.
She had a fever, and the sun was shining brightly above her head.
The temperature on the slate was even higher as if she was roasted like meat in the oven.
She lowered her head and straightened her back.
Rachcl sat inside the room.
She gave Amy an impatient glance and directly left.
She couldn't be in a good mood until Amy was out of her sight.
Amy had been kneeling for three hours ill she was almost blinded in the tough environment.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Laura returned home and was shocked to find her still kneeling with her body shaking.
"Hey, are you okay? It seems you should get up now...Don't die in the Howard Family:"
It turned out that although this Miss Howard was a little arrogant, she was nol a vicious person.
Amy did not speak.
She had no strength to speak, and her mouth and throat were burning.
Her knees were probably scalded.
A stream of sweat slipped down her cheeks and the ground was wet with perspiration.
When Laura noticed Amy's pale face, she was shocked and immediately called Paul.
"Paul, Amy was punished to kneel by mother.I heard from the servant that she had been kneeling for hours.’’
While Laura was on the phone, she saw Amy fall down whose face was pale as she was dead.
"Hey! Amy!"
