Chapter 285: A Wrong Path Would Lead You Astray 22
I frowned, feeling a bit annoyed, “Ms. Luna, is there anything you’d like to say? You don’t have to beat around the bush.”
Luna immediately shook her head, and said, “Please don’t misunderstand or think too much into it. I am just regretful. I shouldn’t have done what I did to you. And now I feel terrible and I am hoping I can make it up to you.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“It’s not necessary. A lot has happened, and we’ve grown apart. Let’s keep it that way.” I spoke. My pace was a little fast, and I didn’t want to say more.
She kept up with me, still looking attentive, “I know you still can’t let it go. I just really want to make up for my mistakes, Clara, can you please let Samuel and I make it up to you, okay?”
“Mom, what are you doing?” Olivia followed, with an angry expression on her face, and pointed at me. “Mom, we don’t owe her anything. Hasn’t she hurt us enough?”
As Olivia said that, she raised her hand and pushed me. Behind me, there was an open-air swimming pool. Because it was winter, no one would get into the water. But they just kept the pool half full anyway.
But it was not very deep.
I had no idea Olivia would suddenly attack me, so I fell backward, unprepared.
The water was not deep, but the water was extremely cold in winter. All my clothes were soaked immediately, and a biting cold air invaded my body. I couldn’t help shivering.
Seeing that I fell into the water, Luna panicked and shouted at the villa, “Someone, help!”
There were security guards and bodyguards in the villa, and two big men rushed out and pulled me up.
Seeing that my clothes were all soaked through, Luna took off her jacket, wrapped it around me, and watched the bodyguard arrive, “Take her into the bedroom to take a hot shower now, please.”
Afterward, she looked at the nanny and said, “Prepare some chicken soup for Ms. Clara to keep her warm.”
All of a sudden, everyone became so busy.
Olivia looked at Luna’s anxious look and grabbed her. Olivia’s eyes were red, “Mom, what are you doing? She deserved it.”
“You shut up!” Luna got angry. “Why did you push her? If there is anything wrong with her, I won’t forgive you.”
“Mom, I’m your daughter!” Olivia roared, pointing at me, “She has done so many bad things to you. Why are you protecting her.”
Luna pushed Olivia away and followed the bodyguards to take me back to the bedroom.
I was shivering from the cold, my body kept shaking, but I finally felt better after soaking in the bathtub for a long time.
When I got out of the bathroom, it was very noisy outside. Dennis and Clarie Bear were waiting for me standing by the bathroom door.
Seeing me coming out, Dennis frowned, “Do you feel better, babe? Why did you suddenly fall into the swimming pool?”
“It’s my fault. I didn’t pay enough attention to look out for her.” Luna felt a little guilty, looked at me, and said, “Clara, are you alright, is there anything wrong with your body?”
The room got a bit noisy. I looked at Luna and said, “I’m fine now.”
Saying so, I turned to Dennis and asked, “Did you finish the talk?”
He nodded, “You want to go home now?”
I said “Mhm-hmm”. Clarie Bear kept looking at me with her round eyes, it was adorable. The look on her touched the softest spot in my heart, and I reached my hands out to hug her. But Dennis stopped me.
“You just caught a cold. Let’s go home first.”
I nodded and didn’t say much. When I got out of the bedroom, Luna saw the helper come up with chicken soup, so she looked at me and said immediately, “Clara, you just caught a cold. Why don’t you drink some chicken soup first to ward off the cold.”
Before she could finish speaking, Olivia rushed out, grabbed the chicken soup from her hand, and threw it towards me.
Dennis reacted extremely quickly, almost at the same time, he slammed in front of me and blocked the soup with his back.
I was stunned, looked up at Dennis, and saw that he was only frowning slightly, but his face was terribly cold.
Alex reacted quickly, took Clarie Bear from Dennis, and saw that she had been well protected.
Alex looked at Luis and said, “Take Mr. George to change his clothes and check if he was burnt.”
Luis nodded, looked at Dennis, and said, “Mr. George, this way!”
Dennis looked at Olivia with a pair of gloomy eyes, his eyes were extremely dark, even though he didn’t say a word, the surroundings were soaked with cold air.
After the two left, Luna suddenly raised her hand.
A slap hit Olivia firmly in the face. After all, Luna was a woman who had experienced many years of ups and downs, and when she got angry, it was already the wrath of thunder, “Olivia, do you think it’s not messy enough? How bad do you want to make things? Are you happy now?”
Olivia didn’t expect Luna to hit her, so she covered her face and looked at Luna in disbelief. Olivia’s voice was desperate, “You hit me for her?”
“You deserved it!” Luna said, her eyes were full of sternness. “I told you to stay in the hospital and allow yourself time to recover from your sickness. But you don’t listen. You have to show up here to make a fuss!”
“I am not sick, why do I have to stay in the hospital? Mom, you’ve changed. Why – Why are you doing this to me? It was obviously Clara’s fault, but why are you punishing me instead?”
Olivia cried hysterically, and Clarie Bear also started crying shortly. Babies had a strong ability to empathize.
There was no end to the crying. Alex hugged Clarie Bear and tried to comfort her, but it didn’t work. I took her over, looked at Olivia and Luna, pursed my lips, and said nothing more.
Going downstairs, we were getting ready to leave.
I could hear Samuel’s almost heartless voice behind me, “Olivia, the L Community, and the Lewis family are not suitable for you to stay, at least not anymore. I asked my assistant to buy you a property in Southern Villa. You can live there, take care of your illness, don’t make any trouble anywhere.”
I was not interested in listening to what he was about to say afterward. Olivia would probably just repeat saying the same old nonsense, and there was nothing in her speech I had never heard of.
Finally, we were back in our car. Clarie Bear stopped crying already, and she now looked at me a bit confused.
We waited for Dennis for about five minutes. He finally came downstairs, but he changed into another outfit. He was still in black, though.
But it didn’t seem to fit him well. Luis and Dennis were the same height, but they had different body figures.
Dennis loved going to the gym, so his body was built strong and powerful.
Luis was a little thin, with a gentleman temperament, looking tender.
Dennis noticed I had been looking at him, he pursed his lips, “You are not going to ask me if I got hurt, babe?”
I raised my brows, “Does it hurt?”
Dennis burst into laughter, “A kiss would make me feel better.” That sounded a bit flirty.
I hummed proudly and ignored him.
He smiled, didn’t say anything, and started the engine.
It was a one-hour drive from the L Community to the T Villas. I fell asleep shortly after Clarie Bear had done so in her cradle.
When I woke up, I was already in the bedroom in the T Villas. But Dennis wasn’t by my side.
I looked around and got up. Finally, I found Dennis tickling Clarie Bear in the baby’s nursery room.
I was a bit confused for a few seconds, “Was she crying?”
He nodded, “Did she wake you?”
I shook my head. I still felt drowsy even though I had just woken up. I hugged Clarie in my arms to feed her, but I doze off and almost dropped her to the floor.
It was so lucky that Dennis had been by our side so the baby didn’t fall. Clarie Bear didn’t eat much. And then Dennis sent me back to the bedroom to get rest.
