"The Kemp family is the topmost noble family in the country! If we say that we are of nobility, then no one else would dare to say that they are of nobility! Even if it's the Poole family in Kidon City, or the Ford and Shaw family in South City!"
"Oh..." When she heard Maysun say that, Jane instantly smiled. "The Kemp family. I often hear my husband mentioning them."
Maysun was speechless.
"My husband said that he had not finished off the Kemp family over the years because they were too obedient. They were just like pets such as dogs and cats. They were meek and obedient. They just want something to eat. So why bother laying a hand on them? However, after taking a look at you today, Miss Maysun, you don't seem like the meek person who just wanted something to eat that was described by m y husband. You were kept just like pets. You don't have to worry and do anything. What's the matter now? Do you want to bite the hands that feed you?"
Maysun was speechless. There was a pause. "You..."
At that moment, a nurse suddenly came in from behind her. The nurse looked at Maysun with a cold gaze. "Who are you? Don’t you know the patient is very weak? She almost died ten days ago. Are you here to visit her or to piss her off? She is still recuperating, and she has just gotten her life back from being a hair's breadth away from death. I'm telling you, if you caused her to have any mishaps by pissing her off, you have to take full responsibility for it!"
What the nurse said gave Maysun a fright. She was just here to accompany Aino while Aino came to play. She and Jane did not have any direct grudge as well. Even if there was anything, it was just jealousy. It was nothing more than Jane looking down on her. Even if she had any hatred, she should still leave Jane for Lily for her to handle, right? Lily would be coming in a moment, anyway. She would torture this woman so excruciatingly that the woman would rather die instead.
Thinking of that, Maysun had it all figured out. She immediately apologized. "I'm sorry. Excuse me, I had a bad temper. I am here to visit Missus Poole." After saying that, Maysun looked at Jane. "Missus Poole, please forgive me. In fact, I knew all about it. Mister Poole truly protected us, the Kemp family, very well. W e are beyond grateful. Missus Poole, don't mind what I said, alright?"
Jane's tone immediately eased up. "Have a seat. I was just irritated just now. Please don't mind me, Miss Kemp."
"It's fine. It's fine. Aino and I, as well as Aino's dad, are friends." Maysun immediately took the advantage of being given an out.
Both of them seemed to be doing fine as they exchanged pleasantries. After about ten minutes, Aino got up and said goodbye to Jane. "Aunt Jane, we have eaten yet. I plan to ask Miss Maysun to take me for burgers. We will come to see you again in the afternoon, alright, Aunt Jane?"
Jane immediately nodded. "Go on, my child. Don't stay hungry. You're still growing." She turned her head around and asked Maysun for a favor. "Miss Kemp, please take good care of Aino."
"Of course," said Maysun with a smile. She held Aino b y the hand and left the ward. Aino seemed very well-behaved. When she reached the door, Aino turned around to look at her Aunt Jane, and Aino winked at her. Coincidentally, at that moment, Maysun also looked outside the door and winked at the woman who was hiding behind a pillar. Maysun then led Aino out of the ward. 1
Approximately three minutes later, another person walked through the door to Jane's ward. "I trust that you've been well, Missus Poole!" A voice so eerily cold that sounded just like a ghost came from behind Jane.
Jane did not look back. She just sneered and said, " Lily Parker, you've finally come. I have been waiting for you!"
