Chapter 187
In the morning, as the Anderson family was eating, Kimberly noticed that Noelle was using her left hand. She was a little puzzled and couldn't help but ask Noelle, "Why are you using your left hand today!"
When Noelle heard this, she swallowed her food and turned to her mother with a silly smile. "It's nothing. I accidentally injured my right hand."
In any case, the left hand and right hand made no difference to her.
"Is your right hand injured?" Kimberly was suspicious.
She looked down and realized that Noelle’s right hand was wrapped in gauze.
She was shocked. "Noelle, what happened to your right hand? Why is it wrapped in gauze?"
Noelle answered honestly, "I accidentally got cut by a knife."
“What? Cut by a knife!" When Kimberly heard that, she immediately held Noelle’s hand and wanted to examine it.
She asked, "Why are you so careless! Is the wound deep? Shall I call the doctor?"
At this moment, Bennett said, "Mom, I’m a doctor. Why would you call other doctors? Also, I accidentally hurt Noelle. I’ve already bandaged her wound. It’s not a big deal.”
Hearing that, Kimberly glared at her son and said, "Bennett, what’s wrong with you? You cut your sister’s hand as soon as you came back?"
Bennett could not help but laugh. "I was just careless…"
"You weren’t so rash before," Kimberly complained and ordered, "You have to take full responsibility for Noelle’s injuries! Do you understand?"
“Yes, yes, yes.” Bennett quickly agreed. "I’ll definitely take good care of her. I’ll make sure that her wound recovers so quickly that not even a scar can be seen. Is that okay?”
"Hmph, that’s more like it.” Kimberly was very satisfied.
She turned to Noelle and said with a smile, “Noelle, did you hear that? Bennett will be responsible. If your wound hurts, look for him.”
Noelle smiled brightly and said, "Got it, Mom."
"Okay, good girl." Kimberly wanted her daughter to build a better relationship with Bennett.
Although Bennett seemed to have a good relationship with Noelle, the two of them had not spent much time together after all. Therefore, she wanted to take this opportunity to help them get to know each other better.
This matter also attracted the attention of the other two.
When Leia heard that Noelle’s hand injury was caused by Bennett, she wondered if Bennett had deliberately cut Noelle’s hand to avenge her.
With this thought in mind, she couldn’t help but secretly rejoice. He is on my side! However, she felt a little regretful. Why didn’t Bennett cut Noelle’s face?
The other person who cared was Charlie.
He glanced at Bennett indifferently and frowned slightly. He could not help but recall their conversation last night. At that time, he asked Bennett what he thought of Noelle, and Bennett said that he was very interested in her.
And just the next day, he cut Noelle’s hand.
Charlie didn’t believe Bennett was careless; Bennett would never be careless. It must be his plan. But why did he cut Noelle’s hand! What does he…
Everyone had different thoughts during the meal.
After dinner, Charlie found Noelle.
"Charlie?" At this moment, Noelle was sitting in the living room, eating snacks and watching television.
Charlie suddenly sat beside her. She was surprised.
She handed some snacks to Charlie, smiled at him, and asked, “Do you want to try?”
Charlie refused.
“No, thank you.”
He looked at Noelle’s injured right hand and confirmed, “Did Bennett cut your hand?"
"Yeah," Noelle nodded.
Charlie asked, “How did he do it?"
Noelle said, "Bennett was peeling fruit. When I went over, he handed me a piece, but he failed to hold the knife, and it cut my hand.”
"Really?" Charlie’s pale eyes narrowed.
It sounded like an unintentional mistake, but everyone seemed to have overlooked one thing: Bennett was a surgeon, and a top-notch one at that.
The knife was like a part of his body. He wouldn’t accidentally injure Noelle’s hand.
Charlie was now certain that Bennett hurt Noelle on purpose.
“Is the wound deep?” Charlie looked at Noelle and asked again.
“It’s okay,” Noelle said with a smile.
In order to show that she was fine, she even waved her injured right hand in front of Charlie.
In fact, this wound was indeed not deep for her. With her current healing ability, it only took a day to completely recover. There wouldn’t even be a scar.
Charlie was speechless. He noticed that Noelle did not seem to blame Bennett.
Charlie was not one to cause trouble. He was silent for a moment before he said to Noelle, "You’d better be careful when you’re alone with Bennett in the future."
“Hmm! Why?" Noelle asked.
Is Bennett really a bad person? she wondered.
“Because…” Charlie frowned and hesitated slightly.
Just as Charlie was hesitating, Bennett’s voice sounded from afar.
He said with a hint of laughter and teasing, “Why do I feel that someone is talking bad about me? It must be my illusion. Is it, Charlie?”
