Not One, But Two!

Chapter 240

Taking a sip of warm water, Abigail sat on the couch and watched as Emma cried while pouring some water. Then, in an incredibly aggrieved manner, the latter started to pour the water between two cups to lower the temperature. Abigail didn't feel happy upon seeing that, but she thought that Emma could still be saved.

At least this woman still knew that she had to bow down when she was under someone else's roof, judge the situation and understand what she should do. Therefore, she wasn't completely dumb.

There was something which baffled Abigail, though. Even though she wasn't Philip's real daughter, in Sasha and Emma's eyes, she was Philip's daughter and Emma's real sister. So, what was so fun about bullying her back then?

Abigail felt uneasy and stuffy in her chest, without a single shard of excitement and exhilaration.

Stealing a glance at the blisters on the back of Emma's hand, Abigail let out a sigh in the end, got up and brought the first aid kit over.

Finally, Emma was able to lower the temperature of the water, and although her hand was burning with pain, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

For her, this was the first time she did something without Sasha by her side, and she couldn't help but feel happy.

"I did it! Abigail Kain, I did it!"

With the cup in her hand, Emma ran out in excitement, but when she saw Abigail's rather indifferent face, she suppressed all her happiness abruptly.

"What did you call me?"

Hurriedly, Emma lowered her head and said softly, "A-Allie."

"You're already grown up, so learn some etiquette and manners from now on. Drink the water."

Stunned, Emma blurted, "Huh?"

At first, she thought that Abigail wanted to torture her, but she was asking her to drink the water instead.

"What are you gawking at? Finish it quickly. Your lips are already peeling. Really, what's going on in your mind all day?"

Hearing her say this, Emma suddenly felt a strange twang in her heart; an inexplicable emotion which she didn't understand was swirling inside her, but she still finished the water as told.

Seeing that she had finished the water, Abigail said curtly, "This is the first aid kit and there's a burn gel inside. Take care of your wounds by yourself."

"I don't know which is the burn gel."

"Don't you have eyes? Don't tell me that you can't read. Find it yourself!"
