Chapter 17 They Must Be Courting Death to Dare Bully Mommy
Gianna sat in the taxi without saying a word. She held her child tightly as if trying to protect the last treasure she had left. South‘s small arms wound themselves around her neck. “Don‘t be sad, Mommy. I will get back everything you lost for you.” Kate chimed in too, “That‘s right; South is right. You‘re already back. How can we allow her to continue acting so arrogantly? Everything she snatched from you, we‘ll get them back again.” Thus, Gianna smiled. “Don‘t worry; ‘m fine.” Then, they returned to La Grande Maison. When South got out of the car, a stab of pain went through his knee and he nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, Gianna reacted quickly and caught him. “South, what‘s wrong?” South endured the pain and pretended to put up a calm front. “It‘s nothing.” However, Gianna wasn‘t that easy to fool. She immediately squatted down. “Show me; what‘s wrong with your leg?” Then, he avoided her. “It‘s nothing. Mommy, I‘m fine. Let‘s go home.”
Ignoring him, she rolled up his pants. Immediately, she saw that his knee was bruised. Moreover, the top of his knee was scraped and the skin was torn. Against his fair and tender skin, the bruises stood out shockingly.
Sucking in a deep breath, her heart seemed to clench in pain. Then, she bent down and carried him in her arms. “Let‘s go home quickly.”
As soon as they reached home, Gianna placed South on the sofa. At the same time, Kate brought the medical kit over.
Thus, Gianna gently swabbed at the wound with cotton wool soaked in disinfecting alcohol. She was so distressed that her heart felt like it had shattered to pieces; she lightly blew on the wound as she gently cleaned it.
“Mommy, it doesn‘t hurt,” South consoled her when he saw how distressed she was.

On the other hand, the voice on the other side of the phone didn‘t seem affected. “It was a young lady with the surname Aubrey. That young
