Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

Chapter 153 Thanks, August!

Just like that, Naomi and her son were driven out of the Reed mansion.

The onlookers sighed upon seeing this, murmuring about how the Wrights brought this upon

themselves.

Suzanne's birthday feast also ended in advance due to this incident.

...

In one of the bedrooms, the Reed family doctor did a series of examinations for Gwenda upon his

arrival.

After determining that her health was not at risk, the doctor said to Suzanne, "Miss Evans might have

choked on a few mouthfuls of water when she was drowning, and may have caught a cold this way. But

all she needs to do is to drink something warm. You don't have to worry, ma'am."

"Good, good."

Suzanne sighed in relief and went closer to the bed, taking Gwenda's hand as she sat. "Honestly, you

scared me to death."

"I'm fine, grandma."

On the bed, Gwenda was a little pale.

"Fortunately, you only fell into our swimming pool and not some river. Otherwise, I may have a

relapsing heart attack."

Suzanne patted her bosom and suddenly thought of something. Turning to August, she asked, "How's

young Mr. Kinney?"

"He's fine. Kid's luckier than Gwenda. Once he's had that hot shower, he's back to being energetic

again."

As he spoke, August glanced at Gwenda and tsked, grumbling in annoyance. "Honestly, you're weaker

than a child..."

"Don't make fun of your cousin."

Suzanne glared at him and continued, "Quickly, help me up. I'll check on young Mr. Kinney."

The moment she finished speaking, Piper appeared by the bedroom door.

"Madam."

"Piper, I was about to look for you. The child is alright, yes?"

Suzanne said politely.

Piper shook her head with a smile. "He's fine. He's as energetic as ever after taking a hot shower as

well as drinking some chicken soup. However, is Miss Evans alright..."

Piper was regretful about how she accused Gwenda for something she never did. "I came to apologise

to Miss Evans. I'm truly sorry about... what happened earlier."

"It's alright, it was just a misunderstanding. Don't worry."

Suzanne waved her off with a smile. "Since everyone is alright, then it's fine."

"An apology would still be prudent."

As she spoke, Piper looked towards Gwenda, who remained lying on the bed. She went up to her and

bowed her head contritely.

Seeing this, Gwenda sat up anxiously. "Mrs. Kinney, don't..."

"Miss Evans, please. Let me finish. If it weren't for you today, Sylas may likely be in the hospital by

now. I am truly grateful for what you did, and am really sorry."

Piper teared up and said in a choked voice, "I was narrow-minded before and assumed that you were

just like what the rumours described you to be. But now I see that they're all lies. Miss Evans, you're

truly a good person, and my family is indebted to you."

"Don't say that."

Gwenda looked at her and said offhandedly, "It's the least I could do."

"Just accept it, Gwenda. Don't make things difficult for Mrs. Kinney,"

August said nonchalantly from nearby with his arms crossed.

Gwenda looked embarrassed and said, "There's really no need for it. I would have done the same if it

had been some other kid."

"If there's anything that you need, Miss Evans, just ask. I will certainly be of aid if it's within my

capabilities."

Piper made a solemn promise.

Hearing this, Gwenda chuckled and said, "It's alright, Mrs. Kinney. I appreciate your sentiment. There's

no need to stand on ceremony."

"As long as you let this slide."

"Alright, alright."

Suzanne went over to her. "This matter is over. Us Reeds have always been on good terms with the

Kinneys, so there's no need to be so polite. Piper, you don't have to feel guilty either. Gwenda isn't

petty."

"I can tell. You've taught her well, madam,"

Piper said with a smile, and Suzanne smiled back in return.

...

Suddenly, the housekeeper came in and reported, "Madam, Mr. Wright has come with his wife and

son."

It was already late at night. Thus, it was easy to tell what the Wrights' intentions were from their return.

Suzanne's smile vanished as her face darkened. "Invite them in then."

With this, she looked at Piper and said, "Let's meet them together, Piper."

"Very well."

Piper nodded.

At this moment, Gwenda wanted to get out of bed. August gave her a look and said, "Stay."

"August, I'm fine. I just want to watch the show."

"Lie back down!"

August eyed her sharply.

Gwenda grabbed the hem of his shirt and whined. "Just let me go. I'm really fine."

Glancing at the pallor of her face, August frowned. "Are you sure?"

"Yes! I just want to watch the fun." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Gwenda put her hands together. "Please, pretty please?"

Unable to do anything about it, August finally sighed and said, "Put on your shoes!"

"Thanks, August!"

Gwenda proceeded to follow them downstairs.
