Chapter 38 Fortuitous Injury (2/2)
”Because she's my wife, ” Jac
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...
ed.”
Andrew said nothing. He shot a reproachful glance at Jackson and Cherry, and thought they were really bad at taking care of each other.
All of a sudden, Andrew Chu looked attentively at Sally He, who was standing in a corner.
So did Lucia and John. John was astonished at the fact that Sally had not been much to look at in the past, but had now matured into such a beauty. She looked like a noble princess.
Edwin paid little attention to Sally and had vague knowledge of her. He knew that his brother-in-law had disobeyed a military order for her when they were young.
Jean Shen saw the way John was looking at Sally. She was a bit angry. Has he fallen in love with Sally already? Is it possible? Jean thought.
”When did you come back?” said Andrew Chu, with authority.
”About a month ago, Grandpa, ” Sally replied, respectfully.
”Don't call me Grandpa, ” Andrew said, angrily, as he corrected her. Then he added, ”Where are you living now?”
”A villa in the suburbs, by the seaside, ” Sally answered honestly. She didn't dare to tell a lie to this old man. She knew Andrew's punishment to liars more clearly than others.
Andrew knew for sure, as Sally had come back, she brought back trouble. Perhaps Sally was the person accounting for Jackson's wound and Cherry's tears.
Jackson seemed to sense his grandpa's thoughts. He said hastily, ”Grandpa, don't blame Sally. She had nothing to do with this. I'll take care of her.”
It was clear that Jackson was trying to defend her. However, everybody in the ward had noticed that Sally had to do with his wound, in spite of his denial.
Cherry was angry to see Jackson defending Sally. She was so angry that she shook off Jackson's hand from hers.
Jackson knew Cherry must be angry. So he casually grasped her hand. How could he allow his beloved wife to get away from him? He thought to himself.
