Frederick rushed to the mansion, only to find Laveme sitting in a wheelchair, looking like an absolute wreck.
Her <b>face </b>was streaked with tears, eyes swollen, she looked downright pluful
Fredenck quickly stunde over to her, dropping to one knee he <b>asked</b>, “What happened?<b>” </b>
Layere didn’t respond<b>, </b><b>the </b>just kept wiping away her tears.
Sadie watched this scene, her legs trembling, the was worried Mr. Winston would me her, but she <b>had </b>no choice but to gingerly report to Mr Winston
<b>Mr </b>Winston, Ma’ar took a tumble down the stairs. We were all preupied and didn’t notice until she was already <b>on </b>the ground.<b>” </b>
“What’s the matter with you all? Thedy’s not at her best, she needs someone by her side! Isn’t that obvious?” Frederick’s voice was filled with anger.
Laverne sniffed and <b>said</b>, “Don’t me them Marguente was the one who usually look care of me, it’s normal they don’t know my habits Besides, it was my own clumsiness that caused me to fall”
Frederick immediately gently rubbed Laverne’s knee, “How do you feel now? Does it still hurt?”
Laverne lowered her head, hearing Frederick’s concern made her even more upset, “I can’t feel anything, my legs are numb”
Numb?
<b>What </b>the hell!
The stairs were so high, even a young and fit person could break a <b>bone </b>from such a fall!
And Laverne’s legs were numb, how bad was this injury!
Frederick hurriedly asked, “Did you get it checked? Where’s the doctor?”
Sadie swallowed, <b>too </b>scared to articte clearly.
“Mr. Winston, we’ve already taken Ma’am to the medical room for a check–up. But the doctor couldn’t find anything.. the doctor said there’s no injury to her bones or muscles, but she just can’t feel any pain. We’re worried she might have some illness…”
A flicker <b>of </b>guill shed in Laverne’s eyes, but being <b>a </b><b>sharp </b>woman, she hid it well.
She blinked and casually said, “When I was young, I used to spend long hours with my legs submerged in mud and water, it’s caused some old issues. Every time the seasons change, my legs either hurt or itch, now they’ve gone numb. <b>You </b>don’t need to worry, it’s an old problem.”
“Ma’am, how can we not worry? Your legs are numb but the doctor can’t find <b>a </b>cause, we have to take this seriously! Sadie continued.
Of course, the doctor couldn’t find anything because Laverne was ying sick!
Ever since Marguerite left Sapphire Valley Estates, Laverne had been feeling ufortable, worried about Marguerite’s difficulties, or the possibility of her being taken advantage of.
Every <b>day </b>she thought about how to bring Marguerite back, and so she often pretended to be ill, iming to have <b>a </b>fever<b>, </b>or a fall….
She wanted to give the impression that she needed to be cared for, and only a specific person could do it right
But she knew Frederick was still angry, and if she directly asked for Marguerite toe back, he definitely wouldn’t <b>agree</b>.
So, Laverne pondered for a moment, preparing to tackle this issue another <b>way </b>
“Listen, <b>you </b>really don’t need to worry about me. My legs will recover in a few days. It’s just <b>that </b>right now, with my legs numb, I need someone to take care of me. Marguerite may have left, but others can fill in. You could ask Yuna to look after me for a few days. She’s my granddaughter after all, she’s bound to take care of me better than Marguerite”
Laverne believed her strategy was a win–win.
Not only would Frederick realize how good Marguerite was, but he would also see Yuna’s shorings and viciousness
After all, it’s only throughparison that people feel difort
