Chapter 812 She’s Just a Child
Sasha trembled in anger and looked toward Helen indignantly. “Mom, so this is your dear niece! Look at her. We’ve done them such a great favor, but how did she treat us in return?”
Helen wore an awkward expression. “Hey Sasha, Minerva is just a child. It’s normal for a child to be ignorant, so you shouldn’t take everything she says to heart. You’re older than her, so please be more tolerant with her.”
Sasha widened her eyes. “She’s just a child? She’s already in her twenties—how is she still a child? At what age do you think is old enough to be deemed as an adult?”
Helen was annoyed. “Why are you arguing with me over this matter? She’s younger than you, isn’t she? You’re already an adult, so can’t you be more tolerant with your junior?”
Sasha was so furious that she was at a loss for words, so she decided to head upstairs with Matthew instead.
The next day, the Campbells went to meet Bonds and signed the statement of reconciliation. Helen followed them around and after a huge effort, Tate was finally released on bail. After this incident, the Campbells didn’t stir up any trouble for a few days.
Besides that, Tate and Minerva had not come to the Cunninghams since then. So, the Cunninghams finally had some peaceful time. However, Demi heard through the grapevine that Minerva was telling everybody Sasha owed her 1.6 million and that she would sooner or later chase the debt from her.
Because of that, Sasha was so annoyed that she started bickering with Helen again. Toward the end, no outcome was achieved from the dispute, and Sasha could only disregard the matter.
At this moment, she was completely resigned with the Campbells. Fortunately, they had stopped coming to Sasha’s place recently. Otherwise, Sasha was afraid that she would actually have a fallout with them.
On the other hand, Matthew stayed in Lakeside Garden most of the time during this period. Besides that, the patient was still hidden in the Whites’ mansion. Now that Matthew had some time off his hands, he would go there personally to send food to her every day. Besides, the patient’s condition had visibly improved—the abscess on her body had already started shrinking.
On this fine morning, Matthew saw Jordan and his wife, Stacy, standing at the gate as soon as he arrived at Lake Garden. The couple would come to visit the patient from time to time, and Matthew could tell that they treated the patient kindly. Perhaps it was because their daughter had passed away, so they treated the patient as if she was their daughter.
“Sorry to disturb you again, Mr. Larson.” Jordan wore an apologetic look.
Matthew smiled. “Not at all, Mr. Burton. Please don’t say that.”
Jordan smiled and asked, “By the way, how’s her condition now?”
Matthew answered, “I was just about to tell you—her condition has improved a lot recently. You’ll know when you see her later.”
Elated, Jordan and Stacy quickly followed Matthew into Lake Garden. Upon arriving at the Whites’ mansion, Matthew opened the door to see the patient sitting on the couch.
After the patient got to know Matthew during this period, her guard and fear toward him had reduced significantly. Besides, she gradually felt more secure and no longer shrank at the corner of the room
anymore. Seeing Matthew and the Burtons walk in, she immediately stood up with her eyes filled with awkwardness and joy.
Stacy quickly walked up to her. “How are you feeling, Jinny? I heard from Mr. Larson that your situation has improved greatly. Is that true?”
After this period of treatment, the patient’s fear toward Matthew had reduced, and she finally introduced herself as Jinny. However, when Matthew asked about her family background, she remained silent again. In addition, her eyes were filled with apprehension and rage, making Matthew wonder what exactly happened.
After casting a glance at Matthew, Jinny looked toward Jordan and suddenly reached out her hand. After Stacy observed her hand, the expression on her face changed immediately.
