Love Letters From My EX

“Mr. Farrell!” Ben’s expression froze. He quickly pulled Makenna away and pressed the emergency bell at the bedside.

Makenna was a little annoyed at first, but when she heard the bell ringing in the ward, she realized something had happened.

“What’s wrong with Jared?” She asked in a hurry.

Jared was in so much pain that he was about to faint.

Ben helped him lie down and turned to glared at Makenna, “Miss Gardner, don’t you know that Mr. Farrell was injured? You hugged him so tight that his wounds had split again!”

Ben pointed at Jared’s chest, which was stained with blood.

He suddenly suspected whether Miss Gardner really loved Mr. Farrell or not.

If she really loved him, she would’ve treated him more carefully when he was injured, for fear that she might worsen his condition.

But Miss Gardner didn’t care about it at all.

Makenna panicked, “I… I didn’t mean to…”

She was so happy that Jared woke up that she hugged him excitedly.

She had never thought about the consequences of the hug.

“What’s wrong? Why is the bell ringing?” At this time, Lady Georgia came in with the help of Shonna Woodham and Mrs. Murphy.

Ben was wiping Jared’s sweat. Hearing this, he quickly replied, “Mr. Farrell’s wound is cracked.”

“Dear! It’s bleeding!” Shonna exclaimed.

Lady Georgia was anxious, “Ben, wasn’t Jared fine just now? How did this happen?”

There was a flash of guilt in Makenna’s eyes. She quickly winked at Ben, hoping that he wouldn’t tell on her.

However, Ben ignored her. He put down the towel and answered, “It’s Miss Gardner who caused this.”

“What?” Lady Georgia’s face twitched, and then she shot a cold glare at Makenna, “I knew it was you.”

“I didn’t do it on purpose.” Makenna bit her lip and replied in a low voice. In her heart, she hated Ben so much.

Wasn’t he just a lackey following Jared? How dare he disobey her?

When she and Jared got married, she would definitely fire him first!

“What do you mean by not doing it on purpose? I think you meant it. Ever since Jared was together with you, his reputation has been dragged through the mud and the Farrell family has suffered many losses. I’m well aware of how much Jared has covered up for you. I’d say, you’re a jinx to Jared!” Lady Georgia’s eyes were bloodshot as she pointed at Makenna and scolded her mercilessly.

At this moment, she was just an ordinary granny who was worried about her grandson, not a noble madam.

She didn’t bother to maintain the manner of a lady at the moment. She had to teach Makenna a lesson today!

Makenna flustered at Lady Georgia’s scolding. She was cursing Lady Georgia in her heart furiously, but she dared not talk back. She could only look at Shonna, hoping that Shonna could help her.

Shonna had always liked Makenna, not only because of her family background, but also because this future daughter-in-law knew how to behave. Makenna always complimented her and gave her valuable gifts, so she was willing to say a few good words for her.

“Mother, what you said is too harsh. Maybe Makenna really didn’t do it on purpose?” Shonna said to Lady Georgia with a smile.

Lady Georgia looked at her indifferently and said, “She caused your son’s wounds to split. Not only did you not blame her, but you even spoke up for her. What’s wrong? In your heart, Jared is not as close as someone from another family? Sure enough, because Jared is not your biological son, you don’t care about him that much.”

What?

Jared wasn’t Shonna’s son by birth?

Makenna jerked her head up and looked at Shonna in surprise. Then, she looked at the man lying on the bed with his eyes closed. No one knew if he had fainted.

Of course, Jared and Shonna were nothing alike in terms of appearances. Moreover, Shonna behaved like a shrew, the opposite of a lady from a prestigious family. It only made sense that she and Jared weren’t real mother and son.

Even Ben, who was standing by the side, was quite surprised at the truth.

“Mom, what are you talking about? Even if Jared is not my biological son, I really treat him as my own son.” Shonna replied discontentedly.

Lady Georgia gave her a sidelong glance and ignored her.

Soon, the doctor came and gave Jared a painkiller.

After the pain was suppressed, Jared gradually regained his consciousness.

He opened his eyes, and his face looked paler than before.

Lady Georgia’s heart hurt. She took his hand and asked, “Jared, are you all right?”

Jared shook his head weakly and said, “Don’t worry, Grandmother.”

“I’m sorry, Jared. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry…” Makenna stood by the bed, wiping her tears and sobbing.

Jared had a headache from her crying, so he was not in the mood to comfort her. He raised his arm and rubbed his head, “Okay, stop crying!”

Hearing the impatience in his voice, Makenna stopped crying and looked at him with her grieved eyes.

Sure enough, he was now immune to her crying to a certain degree. Before, as long as she cried, he would leave everything behind and go to comfort her no matter how busy he was,.

Thinking of this, Makenna panicked and couldn’t help biting her nails.

“Well, the patient’s wound has been bandaged with medicine. Just take good care of it next, but it can’t be hit again. Otherwise, not only will the wound crack, but the fixed ribs will also break again.” The doctor took off his blood-stained gloves and reminded them seriously.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Lady Georgia nodded repeatedly, “Don’t worry, I will keep an eye. I won’t let some brainless people hurt my grandson again!”

She looked at Makenna meaningfully.

Makenna lowered her head in humiliation, not daring to make a sound.

After the doctor left, Lady Georgia rubbed her walking stick and said, “All right, you can go back now. I have something to tell Jared.”

“I’m not leaving. I want to stay with Jared.” Makenna tugged at Jared’s sleeve and said immediately.

Lady Georgia’s face darkened and she looked at her even more sinisterly, “Miss Gardner, don’t you understand that you’re the one least welcomed here?”

Makenna was extremely embarrassed to be rejected in public.

She looked at Jared and her lips moved. She was about to say something.

Jared pulled out his arm and said, “Makenna, you can go back first.”

“Jared…” Makenna was still a little reluctant.

Jared pursed his thin lips and looked at her deeply, “Go back.”

Makenna shuddered at his gaze and felt as if he had seen through her. She subconsciously avoided his gaze and nodded, “Okay, I’ll come and see you next time.”

After that, she picked up her bag and left.

Shonna and Ben also left.

Only Lady Georgia, Mrs. Murphy, and Jared were left in the ward.

Lady Georgia sat down with the help of Mrs. Murphy. She looked at her grandson meaningfully and said, “Why did I find that when you woke up this time, your attitude towards Makenna seemed to have become more indifferent. You didn’t comply with her like before.”

Jared put one arm on his eyes and said, “I suddenly understood something. Maybe it’s because I complied with her every wish before that she became more and more arrogant.”

Most importantly, when he woke up this time, he could clearly feel that something seemed to have been unshackled in his heart.

For example, when he saw Makenna crying or being wronged in the past, he had a voice in his heart, telling him that he had to comfort and spoil her. But now he suddenly found that voice became much small, and he felt much more relaxed.

“That’s right.” Lady Georgia smiled with relief, “Jared, you’ve finally changed back to the way you used to be.”

“The way I used to be.” Jared looked at her in a daze, not understanding what she meant.
