"And you are?" rudely asked Bill. He didn"t really know who Kate really was because he had been isolated form the outside world in the military camp for all this time.
After she heard the question, Kate felt a little embarra.s.sed, and said, "You"d better check on Janet first."
Uttering these words, she stood up from her chair and went to the back garden where Janet and Brian were still waiting.
And then a large group of people followed her.
In the garden, when it saw its owner, the Samoyed suddenly broke away from Brian"s grasp and laid down next to Daniel, sticking out its tongue to him.
Brian helped Janet get back up on her feet and then tenderly smoothed her bangs which were a little tousled.
Kate walked up to Janet, and said, "So sorry for what happened, Janet. I thought Kelsen had been tied, and I sure didn"t expect that he could attack you. Did you get injured in any way?"
But Janet didn"t care a bit for the caring words she was saying.
"Please, take your dog away, throw it into the sea and let it drown, " said Bill furiously. He, being a young man coming from a wealthy family, had started to lose his temper again. Charles thought that Bill had gotten rid of his ill-advised bad temper, but he was even more disappointed in him when he saw how he was reacting.
Janet wiped the Samoyed"s saliva with the back of her hand off her face, and coldly said, "Miss Song, if you own a dog, then why don"t you look after it, and let it attack people? Do you think a simple apology can solve the problem and make it miraculously go away?"
Kate felt embarra.s.sed again, thinking that Janet was indeed relentless with her this time.
"Both Daniel and I like Kelsen. What happened today was because he was untied, and I sincerely apologize to you for that, " said Kate.
She mentioned Daniel, believing that Janet couldn"t dare be anymore rude to her if she brought up Daniel in the conversation.
However, she was wrong.
"And just because you and Daniel like it? Does that give it the right to attack other people? Miss Song, please send your beloved dog away from here, now, " said Janet.
She could forgive it once, but couldn"t tolerate it for a second time. She also didn"t understand why the dog always jumped her.
"No, Janet. I"ve already apologized to you, but why are you still blaming the dog?" Now, Kate also seemed to be furious, and spoke in an aggressive tone and manner.
Brian rolled up Janet"s sleeve, exposed her elbow, and asked, "Can you see? Miss Song?" A large area of Janet"s skin was graze
It all starts on that fateful night.
When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel’s best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…
"I don’t want a divorce!"
"I don’t want a divorce!"
"I did no such thing!"
Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...
"s, who was then leaving. He was very confused, and wondered why would Jane love a man who was so merciless.
"Bill, what just happened?" Charles asked his younger grandson, who was just standing there and wearing a blank look on his face.
Bill then walked up closer to Charles, and replied, "The matter has been settled, grandfather. Jane"s elbow was a little grazed and Brian took her to the hospital."
"She really got hurt? Is it serious?"
"It may be not be so serious, but it looked very painful indeed. I"ll also go and check on her later, when the ceremony is over." After he spoke these words, Bill sat at the table next to his grandfather.
Brian told him not to let this matter affect everyone"s mood because there were some other distinguished guests here.
Charles nodded, seeming to be thinking of something.
Brian drove Janet to the military hospital. Janet didn"t utter a single word all the way, but just silently sat in car after she finally stopped crying.
Doctor Wan disinfected the wound on her injured elbow and applied some medicine to it.
Her ankle wasn"t injured, so he just helped her knead it in some bandages, just in case.
On their way back, Brian was about to speak, "Janet..." But then hesitated when he glanced at her.
Janet shook her head, and said, "Brian, thanks for taking me to the hospital. I feel much better now."
At The Royal Mansion
"Janet, please don"t weep for him any more, " finally spoke Brian. He lifted Janet from the car and could not help holding her in his arms.
He also felt his heart break when he saw her look so painful.
Janet didn"t refuse his loving embrace, and gently leaned on his shoulder, and said, "OK."
