Chapter 601
That day Kimberly could morally kidnap Reynaldo. It can be seen that she would also kidnap Mikaela. Reynaldo’s tough attitude doesn’t mean Mikaela could also have a tough attitude. After all, Mikaela was the fundamental reason that caused the Palmer family to become like that, so I suddenly understood why Mikaela stood up for Kimberly like that. I didn’t say anything else, just packed up the food box and got ready to leave.
Kimberly suddenly came in, looking both surprised and anxious, and asked Mikaela, “Mikaela, why are your eyes so red? Did Ms. Duffy say something unpleasant to upset you again?”
Mikaela shook her head, her eyes sad and complex, looking at me. I didn’t look at her, just tidying up the food box by myself.
After packing up the lunch box, I was ready to leave. But when I reached the door of the ward, the ground suddenly became slippery for some reason. I was caught off guard for a moment, and my feet suddenly slipped. My whole body shook and I sat on the ground, having grabbed the door frame to prevent a fall.
“Be careful!” Mikaela’s scream suddenly rang out in the hospital room. She hurried over. Her legs actually had no problem at all. It was just because she had been sick for many years and her body was very weak, so she often used a wheelchair. She came over to me anxiously and helped me up, saying, “Esmeralda, are you okay? Don’t scare me.”
When I got up, I casually touched the ground. It was not water at all, but oil! Someone deliberately spilled oil at the entrance.
I instantly thought of Kimberly, looking at her with a cold gaze. Kimberly stood behind Mikaela, also staring at me with a cold smile on her face, her eyes as malicious and sinister as a snake’s. Reynaldo and Anton said that this woman was just a little bit scheming, but actually not bad. Oh, is this called not bad? She must have eavesdropped on my conversation with Mikaela, knowing that I was pregnant, so she deliberately spilled oil here, trying to harm my baby.
I tightened my grip on my side and sneered at Kimberly, “I bet Ms. Palmer just stood at this door for a long time. It’s really hard for Ms. Palmer. She even went out of her way to sprinkle oil on the floor here. Is she afraid that no one will slip?”
I finished speaking, and Mikaela instantly looked at Kimberly with an incredulous expression. Kimberly was also good at pretending; the cold smile and malice on her face disappeared instantly. Instead, she looked at the oil jug she was holding with a surprised look on her face.
“Oh no, the oil I just bought suddenly leaked. No way, I must go find the boss later and demand an explanation. He actually sold me a pot of resealed oil.”
Even if Kimberly pretended to be innocent as naturally as possible, her excuse was still too false. Mikaela frowned at the oil jug in her hand, “Why on earth did you bring up a jug of oil?”
“When the oil at home ran out, I thought about buying a pot to take back later.”
“When can you put it in the car first? Why do you bring it up?” Mikaela asked this, actually starting to doubt her a little.
