The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back by Juliette Vaughan

Chapter 29

The next morning, in the bedroom, Paisley carefully tended to Serena's wounds. Thankfully, Maria had gone back to Brightmoor for the weekend due to some family matters. If she saw Serena's wounds, she'd be heartbroken.

Maria had been with Paisley since the day Serena was born and practically raised Serena alongside Paisley. Her love for Serena was no less than a mother's.

Luckily, Serena's fall yesterday had only scraped her palms. If it had been worse, Paisley wouldn't have let go of Stella, who had hurt Serena.

As for the school, Paisley was far from done with them. She had already contacted her lawyer and planned to send a formal legal notice on Monday.

Gently disinfecting Serena's small hands, Paisley winced every time Serena flinched from the cotton ball's sting.

"Does it hurt a lot?" Paisley asked, her voice full of concern.

"It hurts, but I can handle it," Serena replied, biting her lip. Tears welled up in her shiny eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.
