Chapter 1271
Anton looked at me with a complex gaze, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain something to me. I casually averted my gaze and ignored him.
After a while, he walked past me and went to examine Kimberly.
Kimberly looked at me smugly and said, “I’m almost recovered, but your best friend is still lying in bed, turned into a motionless vegetable. Are you angry?”
I secretly clenched my hand tightly by my side. I was really angry, very indignant, and wished I could tear this woman in front of me to pieces. But I also knew that I couldn’t be impulsive, couldn’t go down the path of Johnathan. Otherwise, Reynaldo would really go crazy.
“Ms. Duffy, are you now like Johnathan, wishing to kill me…”
“Kimberly!” Quentin and Anton suddenly whispered in unison at her, as if to signal her to stop talking.
I sarcastically pursed my lips and said, “Really?”
Quentin glanced at me and whispered to Kimberly, “Don’t speak, rest well, be careful not to reopen the wound.”
“How could that be possible?” Kimberly laughed, “Ralda came all this way to see me, so I have to spend some time with her, right? Sigh…” Suddenly, she gasped in pain and looked at Anton, who was changing her bandages, with a look of grievance. “Anton, what are you doing? It hurts, be gentle.”
Anton didn’t say anything, he just silently changed her bandages. I don’t know if he did it on purpose to show me or what, but his way of changing the medicine was indeed not very gentle. Kimberly seemed to be in some pain; her face was pale.
Quentin watched anxiously on the side and couldn’t help but whisper to Anton, “Should I… should I do it?”
“Are you a doctor?” Anton didn’t even look up, his tone indifferent. “If the wound gets infected, are you responsible?”
Quentin pursed his lips and said displeasedly, “You’re not usually like this when changing medication. Without Ralda here, you just…”
“Hiss!” Quentin hadn’t finished speaking when Kimberly took a sharp breath, her face turning completely pale as a sheet of paper, with even a thin layer of sweat breaking out on her forehead.
Quentin stood up instantly in a hurry, “Anton!”
“What’s the rush? I changed to a different medicine, so it’s normal to feel a bit of a stinging sensation,” Anton’s tone remained calm.
This time, Kimberly looked at Anton with tears in her eyes. She said to Anton weakly and aggrievedly, “When my parents were around, they never let me suffer even a little bit. At that time, Anton also cherished me very much. If I got hurt, you would feel as painful as I did. Since when did you change? If our parents knew that you intentionally made me suffer like this, I wonder if they would be sad?”
Theodore seemed to always be the ace up this woman’s sleeve. Whenever Lauryn Wilson, the mother of Theodore and Kimberly, is mentioned, their attitude towards Kimberly changes. Anton, now, and Reynaldo, in the past, were both like this. This woman, she only knows how to morally blackmail Reynaldo and the others who have passed away, which is really disgusting. However, her trick also worked. The movement of Anton changing the medicine was visibly gentler.
Look, when it comes to his deceased parents, Anton still feels sorry for his sister. But Quentin wouldn’t. I mentioned the deceased mother in front of Quentin more than once, but Quentin still stubbornly shielded Kimberly. The most chilling thing is probably the transformation of this sibling relationship, from beautiful and warm to completely unrecognizable now.
