Chapter 54 The Older, the Wiser

“You fail to appreciate others‘ kindness. What a paranoid!”

Shirley angrily walked out of the Reflection Room and couldn’t help but curse.

She thought, I’m so stupid. I shouldn’t have been kind to him whatsoever! Why bother?

Instead of coming here, I should have gone back, taken a bath, and watched a show while eating and drinking How nice would that be?

Aspen was waiting at the side. When she saw Shirley walk out of the Reflection Room, she hurriedly went forward to greet Shirley. Aspen said, “Mrs. Stewart, why are you out so soon?”

“He is so ungrateful and sarcastic He pisses me off. Why should I stay inside?”

“Well… I’m afraid that won’t do.”

Aspen continued to plead humbly, “You know Mr. Braden. He can be harsh sometimes, but he doesn’t have any bad intentions. Please, Mrs. Stewart. You can’t quit. You have to urge him to eat and apply ointment to his wound. Otherwise, he won’t make it through the night.”

“No!”

Shirley pulled a long face, gritted her teeth, and said angrily, “He said it himself. Whether he lived or died was none of my business!”

“Oh, no! Mr. Braden fell to the ground…”

Aspen shouted anxiously, “Mrs. Stewart, help… If you do nothing, he will die!”

Shirley closed her eyes, stamped her foot, and turned back.

She thought, Braden, I must have owed you in my previous life!

Braden indeed fell to the ground, his forehead covered in a cold sweat. He was in severe pain because of the whipping.

“What are you doing back here? Get out!”

Braden was already very weak, but he still played rough stubbornly.
