"President Flint!" Zach's expression froze and he quickly pulled Lyra away. He pressed the bell by the bed frame in a rush.
Lyra was initially annoyed at Zach, but when she heard the alarm ringing in the room, she suddenly realized what happened.
"What happened to Julien?" she asked.
Julien was in so much pain that he was about to pass out.
Zach quickly laid him down on the bed and turned around to glare at Lyra. "Ms. Madden, don't you know that President Flint is injured? How can you jump onto him like that? His wounds reopened!"
Zach pointed at Julien's chest, and there was indeed a blood stain on his shirt.
Zach suddenly wondered if Ms. Madden loved President Flint.
'When you love someone, you'd have been more careful when your lover is injured.'
However, Ms. Madden did not even bother about this.
Lyra's expression turned anxious. "I... I didn't do it on purpose..."
She was just really happy that Julien woke up and came over to hug him excitedly.
She did not think about the consequences at all.
"What happened? Why did the bell ring?" Just then, Old Madam Flint came in with Velma and Felicia.
Zach was wiping Julien's sweat when he heard them." His wound reopened."
"Oh God! It’s bleeding!" Velma exclaimed.
Old Madam Flint lost her cool. "Zach, Julien was fine just now. How did his wounds reopen?"
Guilt appeared in Lyra's eyes and she made a face at Zach, asking him to shut his mouth.
However, Zach ignored it. He put down the towel and said, "It was Ms. Madden who ran into President Flint and reopened his wounds."
"What?" Old Madam Flint's expression froze. She then cast a cold glare at Lyra and said, "I knew it was you."
"I didn't do it on purpose," Lyra bit her lip and muttered softly. She hated Zach so much that she could kill him.
He was just Julien's servant. He had the audacity to offend her?
When she got married to Julien, she would fire him for sure.
"You didn't do it on purpose? I think you had the intention! Ever since Julien got together with you, his reputation has been damaged and our family suffered a great loss. Don't expect me to know nothing just because Julien keeps quiet. I knew that you were just a bad omen that cursed Julien!” Old Madam Flint’s eyes were bloodshot as she scolded Lyra mercilessly.
At this moment, she was just a grandmother who was worried about her grandson, and not at all a noblewoman.
She could no longer be bothered to be polite, and just said whatever she thought was right.
Lyra's face turned red and she had so much hatred in her heart. However, she dared not argue or fight back. She could only look at Velma and silently plead for help.
Velma had always taken favor with this future daughter-in-law, not only because of Lyra's background but also because she always brought her expensive gifts. So she was brought over to Lyra's side.
"Mother, you’re too harsh. Maybe Lyra didn’t mean it,” Velma said to Old Madam Flint with a smile.
Old Madam Flint threw her a glare. "She reopened your son's wound. You're not blaming her, and you're even supporting her. Is she more important to you than Julien? I knew you wouldn’t treat Julien as your own since he’s not blood-related to you!”
What?
Julien was not Velma's son?
Lyra raised her head in surprise and looked toward
Velma, then at the man on the bed who had his eyes shut tight. It was uncertain if he had lost consciousness.
Velma and Julien did not look alike at all, and Velma had always acted uncivilized and rude, obviously not someone raised in a noble family. It would make sense if they were not blood-related.
