Chapter 353 She Was Merely Feigning Injury Chapter 353 She Was Merely Feigning Injury Fanny nestled in Yaxleyâs arms, one hand on Yaxleyâs arm and the other on her own leg, as if she had injured her leg.
Witnessing Fannyâs pitiful appearance, a bystander immediately stepped forward and asked Yoanna, âWhy did you suddenly push her?â
He had noticed the situation earlier and decided to ask at that moment.
Yoanna was initially stunned, then reacted and explained, I didnât use force. She...â
She was at a loss for words and could only look helplessly at Yaxley.
Before Yaxley could respond, Fanny spoke up, âYaxley, itâs not Miss Tucksonâs fault. I lost my balance.â
Despite her words, she appeared distressed, and no one believed she was unharmed. Instead, she seemed to be unfairly treated but remained silent.
Upon hearing Fannyâs statement, Yoanna quickly added. âYes. It was her own fault for losing her balance.â
However, a few individuals continued to observe her, their gazes shifting between her and Fanny, maintaining silence.
Yaxley glanced at Yoanna and suggested, âLetâs discuss todayâs events later. Iâll take Fanny to the hospital.â
Fanny, nestled in Yaxleyâs arms, cast a timid glance at Yoanna, pursed her lips, and said nothing more.
Yoanna, however, could clearly discern Fannyâs expression. She even noticed the smugness in Fannyâs gaze and quickly followed suit.
1/5 Chapter 353 She Was Merely Feigning Injury âYaxley, itâs my responsibility that she fell. Iâll accompany you to the hospital,â she said, directing a defiant look towards Fanny.
Yet, Fanny avoided eye contact, clenching her teeth tightly.
Yaxley remained unaware of the tension between the two and silently agreed for Yoanna to accompany him.
During the car ride, Yoanna suddenly inquired, âYaxley, when did you start seeing her?â
Yaxley, driving the car, replied, âNot too long ago.â
Fanny bit her lip, wanting to speak, but refrained.
âNot too long ago? That explains it. But why rush into an engagement? Will your parents approve?â
Angela is from Riverdon, and Fanny claims to be Angelaâs sister, so naturally, she is also from Riverdon. Yoanna doubted that the Kins Family would accept Fanny as a daughterâinâlaw.
Yaxley glanced at Yoanna impassively. âItâs not their concern.â
Observing his expression, Yoanna immediately held back the words she was about to say.
A Knowing Yaxley well, she sensed his impatience and refrained from speaking out of turn.
The car fell into silence.
Fanny observed the two of them, feeling frustrated.
Although Yoanna spoke only briefly, she could sense the Kins Familyâs views on Yaxleyâs choice of partner.
2/5 Chapter 358 She Was Merely Feigning Impry Yaxleyâs parents most likely would not approve of their relationship.
Yoanna also contemplated this and remained silent.
The three individuals in the car were lost in their thoughts, with Fanny being the most frustrated, Fanny underwent a checkâup at the hospital. Upon arrival, it was Yaxley who carried her inside.
Yoanna followed closely, wanting to speak but hesitating, only able to gaze at the two of them.
Seeing Yaxley carrying Fanny in, the doctor who recognized Yaxley hurriedly approached, wiping sweat from his forehead and cautiously inquiring, âMr. Collier, what happened to this young lady?â
Catching a glimpse of Yoanna following behind Yaxley, the doctorâs gaze towards Fanny became somewhat puzzled.
Yaxley explained, âShe fell, so she needs to be examined.â
The doctor promptly arranged for Fanny to undergo an examination. Although the issue was not severe, there were visible marks on Fannyâs legs from the fall.
She had always been delicate since she was young, and even a minora bump would appear serious on her. When she fell, she did not brace herself, making it look worse than it was.
After applying medication, she was once again carried to the hospital bed by Yaxley.
Yoanna had been by Yaxleyâs side throughout. While Fanny was being examined, she tried to explain to Yaxley that she did noty push Fanny with force and that Fanny might be pretending.
3/5 However, upon seeing the marks on Fannyâs legs, she fell silent.
She gazed in disbelief at Fannyâs treated leg.
Yaxley remained silent, giving Yoanna a faint look before focusing on Fanny, asking with concern. âAre you still in pain?â
âNot anymore. Ouch... Fanny shifted slightly, wincing as if she had touched a sore spot accidentally, and quickly added. âDonât blame Miss Tuckson. She didnât push me on purpose.â
Yoannaâs expression turned even more incredulous.
âI didnât push you on purpose, and you were the one who bumped into me first!â Yoanna pointed at Fanny If Fanny hadnât bumped into her, she wouldnât have touched Fanny at all.
Fanny seemed taken aback by the sudden increase in volume and moved closer to Yaxley.
âApologize to Fanny Yaxley instructed Yoanna.
Yoanna looked at Yaxley in disbelief. âWhy should I apologize to her? I didnât push her hard at all! Sheâs pretending to fall like this.â
Fanny softly interjected, âYaxley, I didnât pretend. Iâm really unwell. I wouldnât joke about my health As she spoke, she clung to Yaxley, looking pitiful.
âYouâre pretendingâ Yoanna blurted out, unable to contain herself. âYaxley, sheâs not as innocent as she seems. She came to Northland because her reputation in Riverdon was tarnished. Donât trust her!â
Fannyâs eyes narrowed, convinced that it was Angela who had informed 4/5 Yoanna.
Yaxley. Iâm scared. She needed Yaxley to remove Yoanna first, or she wouldnât be able to explain.
Upon hearing Fannyâs words, Yoanna wanted to intervene but hesitated. Yaxley, wait for me to get the newspaper; then youâll know what she has done!â
Fannyâs expression changed when the newspaper was mentioned.
Thankfully, Yaxley chose to defend her, telling Yoanna firmly, âShut up. Apologize, or leave.â
Yoanna was stunned, frightened by Yaxleyâs gaze and hurt by his cold words.
She was even more flustered when Yaxley, seeing her hesitation, carried Fanny away.
She wanted to follow them, but Yaxley scolded her, and at the same time, she caught Fannyâs triumphant and challenging gaze.
Yoannaâs mind was in turmoil as she watched Yaxley depart.
