However, Mckenzie didn't believe that Grace’s leg hurt for no reason.
"I'm not really sure, but my leg really hurts. Mom, I'm going over to rest," said Grace.
The expression on Mckenzie's face changed, but she didn't say anything.
Grace took a cup and drank a few cups of hot water before she felt her leg didn't hurt as much as it did earlier.
Lying there, she held her phone and sipped the hot water. She planned to go back to the kitchen and continue doing her part when she felt more comfortable.
However, Mckenzie hadn't waited any longer. Then, she started preparing the
ingredients. As she still had difficulty getting about, she did it slowly.
Moreover, she always felt that Grace might be looking for an excuse not to help her.
Turning sideways, Mckenzie looked toward the dining hall.
Then she saw Grace half lying there, holding her phone and drinking hot water.
Grace looked like she was enjoying herself and didn’t look like her leg hurt at all.
Seeing this, Mckenzie had a long face.
Mckenzie wondered since when Grace had learned to be so dishonest. Grace was faking it!
Then she threw the things in hands to the floor. She wheeled herself out, placing herself in front of Grace. "Do you really feel the pain in your leg? Or are you faking it?"
'‘Mom, what do you mean by that?"
The expression on Grace's face changed.
