Chapter 295 - A LITTLE GULLIBLE (1/2)

”The injuries are minimal, but I would recommend that you see another doctor for further examination,” Seiji said before standing up.

He wanted to say that she had not been injured significantly, and her arm would recover within a few days even without rest and elevation. However, the fall had been too dramatic to say things casually. ​​

”What do you mean? Aren't you a renowned doctor? Can't you treat her?” Kaoru shouted in a shrill and shrewish manner as she returned to her daughter's side to help her stand.

Seiji rested his irritated eyes on her, making her remember her place. Even though she was his aunt, she did not have a lot of rights in this home. If Sayaka had not taken a liking to her daughter, she would not have a reason to come to the mansion frequently.

”I am just worried about Hanae. She has only her hands to depend on in the future. As a pianist, her hands are her life.” She lowered her voice.

”How did you fall?” Sayaka asked incredulously while looking at Hanae.

She could not figure it out. One minute, they had been walking up the stairs and suddenly, the girl had toppled.

Hanae, who had just stood up, glanced at Akira who was still standing a few steps up on the stairs and shrunk back in her mother's arms.

The implication was obvious. Kaoru looked venomously at Akira.

”Did someone shove you down? Speak up! I'm sure that your aunt will stand up for you.” She spoke in a soft tone but everyone could hear her.

Sayaka frowned at the implication that Akira had shoved Hanae down the stairs. However, she had not seen what had happened, and it was strange for Hanae to have fallen just like that. She did not know what to say.

”I'm sure Akira did not shove me down. Maybe, she lost control of her suitcase.” Hanae said in a small voice.

”What do you mean she lost control of her suitcase? It is just a small bag. And if she had allowed someone else to carry it, this would not have happened.” Kaoru retorted.

Seiji and Daiki looked at the two people with cold eyes.

The other people were a little tongue-tied because the case seemed clear. Moreover, they were familiar with Hanae, so it was natural to believe someone close to them.

Kazuo looked at the cold little sister at the top of the stairs, looking down like a queen in her castle. She did not have a hint of apology in her eyes, and she did not attempt to explain the situation.

A little disappointment arose in his heart. She looked as adorable as she had when she was a little child, but she was no longer the little dumpling who used to run after him all the time, calling him big brother.

He hoped she would abandon her cynical ways since she was back in their family.
