Chapter 37

Ava was startled and did not dare utter another word.

At this time, Louise stood up and played the role of the peacemaker between Brian and Ava. "Brian, Ava shouldn't have hit Grace. Maybe Grace was in a bad mood today, so she talked back, making Ava lose her senses momentarily."

Brian gave her a dark look as if he was warning her.

"You brought her here?" Brian asked.

Ava's heart dropped.

"What does he mean? Is he driving me away?' Ava thought.

"Brian, I am the one who brought Ava here, so I am to blame for what happened today. I didn't keep a watchful eye on her,"

Louise said.

"She's not fit to be here," Brian said coldly.

Ava's face turned pale, and tears instantly filled her eyes.

"Brian, I did not bring Ava to cause trouble. I don't have anyone close to me here. I feel anxious all day, especially at night. There are many nights when I can't fall asleep," Louise explained softly. "Brian, can you let Ava stay? Please let her stay with me for a while until I get used to things, okay? I will watch over her and won't let her cause trouble again," said Louise as she burst into tears. Ava looked at Louise in disbelief. "She's actually speaking up for me?" Ava thought.

Brian looked at Louise's tearful eyes, and his heart softened again. "Okay, then keep a close eye on her. She can stay here for the time being."

"Thank you, Brian," Louise said, smiling through her tears.

Brian gave Ava a warning look before turning and striding away.

Louise knew he must have gone to replace Grace.

Looking at Brian's slightly hurried departing figure, a dark light flashed through Louise's eyes.

Ava gave Louise a grateful look. "Louise Adkins..."

As soon as Ava called out Louise's name, she felt she was being a bit ungrateful if she called Louise by her full name just after Louise spoke up for her.

But if Ava were to call her "sis," Ava couldn't force the words out of her mouth, so she said awkwardly, "Thank you."

"It's nothing. We're family. There's no need for thanks. You can wear my shoes for now. They should fit you. I have a new pair of shoes that I haven't worn yet," said Louise, looking at Ava kindly. Seeing that Louise was being so nice to her while she came for the sole purpose of seducing Brian, Ava suddenly felt a

little apologetic.

Louise smiled softly and kindly as she told a mald to fetch her shoes.

When Grace returned to her room, Melvin went to replace a medical kit to bandage her up.

While bandaging Grace up, Melvin rambled on in distress.

"I don't know why Miss Adkins acted so angry and cruel. If her parents don't properly educate her, someone will eventually teach her a harsh lesson sooner or later when she goes out in society," said Melvin. Grace endured the pain, but when the disinfectant was applied, she gasped in pain.

"I'm sorry, Miss Sherman, for my clumsiness," said Melvin.

Just then, Brian knocked on the door outside. Melvin put down the things in his hands and went to open the door.

"Mr. Brian," said Melvin.

Brian glanced at Grace and said, "Let me do it."

When Grace saw him, her mood became as sullen as ice water in a deep pool. Grace picked up the things on the table and prepared to bandage herself.

Melvin left with a smile on his face.

"You can't treat this properly yourself. I'll take you to the hospital," said Brian, frowning at her actions.

Grace ignored him and continued to bandage her wounds on her own, sometimes moving with too much force that she gritted her teeth in pain.
