"Sisley? What are you doing?" Someone asked in confusion.
"Mr. Burns, they didn't even vent their anger even when they were so badly injured. Obviously, they are not from the same group of people as before. They are kind people!"
After that, Sisley walked up to Minerva. "Before I take you to Zachary, you need to get your wound treated. If you don't mind, I can help you."
Vera paused for a moment and looked at Minerva's grossly injured palm. "It's so serious. I think it's better to go to the hospital."
Otherwise, she was afraid that the condition of the wound would worsen.
Sisley dared not speak a word. She gave Minerva a sincere stare. After thinking for a while, Minerva replied smilingly, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
As soon as Vera heard this, her expression hardened. "Minerva..."
Minerva began to follow Sisley. Vera had no choice but to follow them.
After the crowd had been dismissed, a group of people remained at the spot.
"Kenneth, how could you shove her like that? You can't do this again."
After hearing the adults' words, Kenneth Lewis immediately pouted his lips and responded discontentedly, "She is a bad person!"
"Sisley said that they are kind people! Did you really see her bullying Grandma?"
Kenneth nodded his head.
The old lady probably couldn't bear to see her grandson being reprimanded and others to misunderstand the two girls. At last, she heaved a sigh. "They just talked to me. Kenneth probably misunderstood them."
"So... All of us misunderstood them? Are they really Zachary's colleagues?" "We are indeed Zachary's colleagues. We heard from Jessica that something happened to his family, so we came to see him."
Sisley was helping Minerva to clean her wounds. Upon hearing Jessica's name, Sisley paused for a moment, nodding. "I trust you. Jessica often comes to our place and is very close to the people here. She... likes Zachary a lot. She comes over to his place practically every day."
As she spoke, she glanced at Minerva and asked in an undertone, "Don't you feel pain?"
Minerva was stunned for a moment. "What's the matter?"
"You didn't even flinch when I treated your wound?" Sisley looked at her hand with confusion. "You have some shattered glass and wood chips stuck in your hand. I have to prick them out with needles."
Minerva glanced at her palm and remained silent.
Vera said gloomily beside her, "How could it be not painful? I can't even bear the sight of it. It's just that she has a high tolerance to pain!"
Minerva had bottled everything up inside throughout the years.
Vera recalled the time when she had just arrived overseas. Minerva was not a designer yet. Vera was bullied for the first time when she worked in this line of work and was harmed severely.
Eventually, she finished her task without uttering a word.
As she thought about it, Vera found a great deal of empathy for her.
Sisley lowered his head to dress her wound silently.
She realized that the person in front of her was really forbearing. Even she herself could not bear to see it. However, Minerva had not frowned at all; only sweat could be seen beading on Minerva's forehead.
After bandaging her hand, Sisley said softly, "Avoid contact with water these few days. If you have time, you'd better go to the hospital. I only gave you first aid today."
Minerva looked at her with a faint smile. "Thank you."
