The girl forked her waist and laughed exaggeratedly behind. She stretched out her long skinny foot to kick Abigail who couldn’t get up for half a day and she couldn’t help but clap her hands.
“That’s too funny…”
Abigail bruised her back as she rolled down, and it was deepening the old wound. She was in pain with tears filled in her eyes, but it didn’t fall stubbornly.
Ever since her mother died, she hadn’t dared to let herself cry easily, just in case she would weaken down if she did.
The next few days were bound to be difficult, and she couldn’t let herself cry anymore.
Abigail said nothing as she slowly propped up her body sat there and looked at Stacy Caunter who was laughing wildly.
“This is what will happen to the person who harmed my sister-in-law! Do you want to tell my brother? Do you want him to know that I pushed you? I heard it all last night, my brother smacked you so hard and he not only won’t believe you, he’ll hate you!”
It seems the girl has deep feelings for her sister-in-law!
Abigail remembered Michelle’s beauty and cultured appearance, a girl like that would always be easy liked by everyone. Abigail’s family made her lose such a good sister-in-law, Abigail could only endure!
Stacy laughed boisterously and walked away, Abigail tried several times, but she did not get up. As she had just twisted her ankle when she fell, she rubbed the painful spot gently and her belly suddenly came out with a gurgling sound.
Abigail was hungry and thirsty; there her sight was in black for a while. She was shaking her head and tried to keep herself awake.
“Silvia… Silvia… why did you fall again? Come, grandma help you.” The grandmother she had last seen came along the backyard. She saw Abigail fall to the ground and rushed to Abigail’s place and almost falling over.
“Granny, be careful,” Abigail warned anxiously, she afraid the grandmother fell again.
“Did you fell down and hurt yourself? Grandmother will rub it for you.” The grandmother squatted down and rubbed it gently without waiting for her to refuse.
“Don’t… “Abigail was embarrassed and wanted to withdraw her leg, but the grandmother’s focused look made her didn’t dare move, just allowed herself to be pressed to her feet quietly, and he tears rolled down to her face.
“Thank you, Granny.”
The grandmother asked Abigail kept quietly with the gesture, but Abigail’s stomach didn’t cooperate with a rumbling sound.
“Hungry? Wait a minute.” The grandmother stopped what she’s doing and she was whispering to her ear. Then, she stood up and waddled away.
After a moment, the grandmother appeared with food and water. She pulled Abigail to the corner of the house and set the tray out in front of her.
“Eat, Silvia is a good girl, grandma loves you…”
“This is not a good idea.” Abigail was worried and refused. But she was upset when she saw the grandmother’s gloomy face, and she ate the food obediently.
“Madam, why are you out again, let’s go back now, quickly!” A maid arrived and she was looking nervous and pulled the old lady up and shoved her outside in a hurry.
“Hey, this…”
The old lady’s face showed reluctance and looked at her with a pitiful appearance, just like a child praying for candy. Abigail couldn’t help but hold the old lady’s hand.
“Hey! Stay away from her!” The maid slapped her hand away and warned, “She’s got a mental problem and she will bite when she mad!”
The old lady left with the maid’s support and Abigail couldn’t connect the evil person who bit everyone when she mad with the kindly old lady in front of her. They had only just two encounters, both of time she was helped by the old lady. How could she possibly bite someone?
Abigail was filled with affection for the old lady when she looked at the empty plate on the floor and the uneaten food.
Abigail was rubbing her belly and the hunger had not been chased away and she still needed more food.
Last night’s torture and this morning’s work had consumed a lot of her energy. It seemed that only food could help her now if she wanted to live.
Abigail was bending her back slightly, even such a small movement would also make her in pain. Abigail’s forehead bearing a scabbed scar that added to her weakness. She tried to reach out the food fell on the floor hard.
“What’s with all this stuff here!”
Abigail turned her head to the side, the movement of her hands also paused slightly when she heard the familiar voice. It was Stacy and she snatched the food from her hands as fast as she could.
“Miss Caunter…”
Abigail gulped and looked at Nancy who was childish in front of her.
The food was held aloft by her, and Stacy looked at Abigail with contempt and said, “These things should be used by Rowena to feed the dog, I’ll help her!”
Stacy walked away and spoke to a person who was passing the doorway, “Annie, wait for me!”
It seems that Stacy was going to fight against her to the end. Her belly was in a burst of pain because her stomach was not being filled with food for a long time.
She could do nothing as she watched Stacy disappear.
The girl named Annie standing in the doorway with seven-inch high heels and come towards her.
She held a designer purse, and her suits were made of high-grade fabrics, radiating a strong sense of nobility.
She was looking at Abigail with her sharp-sighted.
Her gaze that made Abigail feel dangerous, and out of self-defenses instinct, Abigail took a step back.
Annie tried to fan away the scent of Abigail with her hands.
Although the woman in front of her was in a mess, it was hard to hide her natural beauty, even she wrapped in a servant’s uniform, it still made people surprised. Where the woman like that come from?
Annie’s eyes became sharp and her face began to look fierce, facing Abigail with hostility.
Abigail didn’t understand why this woman she just met for the first time was reacting so strongly on her. She retreated instinctively and her body had leaned against on the stair railing.
“Who are you? What is the purpose of coming here?” Annie’s asked with the lowered voice as she didn’t want too many people to hear their conversation. Annie tilted her head slightly to the side; her white neck and a pair of jewel earrings were exposed.
“Speak!” Annie intensified her tone when she saw Abigail not answering her question, the necklace around her neck was trembling together with her reaction.
The necklace fit perfectly above her breasts, just enough to compensate for the bare space left by the low-cut dress. She wore the same style of jewel bracelet on her hand, and it was obvious to see that Annie was the daughter of a rich man.
Abigail would think Annie was a kind and approachable woman if she didn’t speak, but when she opened her mouth, it was shown she was a merciless person.
Abigail knew this woman was full with hostility when she looked at her, and it was clear from her question that the woman did not know why she had come, yet why she still has bad feelings for her?
“I… “Abigail confused when she faced the woman, she didn’t know how to introduce herself.
“She’s a bad woman, the culprit that killed Michelle!” Stacy ran back, stared at her with an indignant gaze.
“She… she’s the one who killed Michelle?” Annie’s eyes took away all the hostility and malice when she looked at Stacy in a split second. Annie whole expression changed and replaced by a soft and weak expression.
“Did you kill Michelle?” Her eyes were filled with tears and full of sadness. She shook her head and looked incredulously at Abigail.
Stacy stood at Annie’s side and held her arm affectionately, but while looking at Abigail, she was hateful. “Yes, that’s her!” She took a step forward and pointed at Abigail and it almost stabbing her eye.
Abigail avoided her finger reflexively and held the rag in her hand, not saying a word.
“Michelle? How can you bear it, she’s so kind, so young, how can you…”, Annie covering her face and sobbing.
Stacy glared hatefully at Abigail and screamed, “You see, bad woman! You killed my sister-in-law-to-be and we will never forgive you. Do you want to stay in this house and seduce my brother? You will never get you to want! I won’t make it easy for you. Of course, my brother won’t like you even more, because he only loves Michelle in his heart!”
Abigail’s body trembled, and she was surprised to see that Annie’s body across the room was visibly shaking as well.
What was wrong with her? Is it because she was sad about Michelle’s death?
Abigail didn’t know how to answer, Joshua’s revenge she had already been experienced. If three years had passed and she could still save her life to meet her sister is enough to call it as a miracle. How can she still expect to be loved by anyone?
Even if all the men in the world liked her, Joshua wouldn’t have a crush on her because she was his enemy. And she still didn’t know how to seduce a man because she just only eighteen years old.
Abigail stood there silently; her body was so feeble that she could fall at any moment. She only used silence to deal with Stacy’s scolding.
“Stacy, stop it.” Annie let go of the hand that was pressed on her face and pulled out a small handkerchief and kept wiping it. Abigail saw that the corners of her eyes were dry distinctly. There were no traces of tears shed at all.
Was she mistaken? She rubbed her eyes and tried to look again, but Annie had already turned her head.
“Stacy, Michelle is my cousin and my best companion, I didn’t think that she will leave forever…” Annie was wiping a corner of her eyes and her lips pulled into a sad angle.
When Stacy heard such words, she fell into Annie’s arms and cried out. “Michelle… I miss her, only she… will play with me… will listen to me…”
As she cried and poured out her heart, Abigail finally understood the reason for her deep feelings for Michelle.
“Don’t cry, Stacy, from now on, I’ll be the one who takes care of you, accompany you, and be your best friend.” Annie patted her back with a smug smile.
Abigail shivered, she felt that Annie was strange, but she didn’t figure out what exactly was wrong.
“Really? You’re not going back to America? Will you stay with me?” Stacy lifted her tearful eyes and asking anxiously.
Annie smiled and answered affectionately as she touches Stacy face, “As long as you’re willing, I’ll stay with you and not return to America.”
“That’s great!” Stacy finally smile and clapped her hands happily.
“Isn’t Stacy’s nineteenth birthday coming up soon? I’ll have prepared a very nice present for you.” Annie said with mysterious.
