    Chapter 2152


    Lh was staying in the southeast of the fort. Her house was a uniquely styled traditional cottage. Upon arriving, Amber could hear a woman crying from afar. Many servants, doctors, and women were standing in front of Lh''s room.


    Amber walked toward Lh''s servant Jayna Bowie, and asked carefully, "Hello, is Aunt Lh around?"Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "Ms. Jenkins,e another day. Mrs. Klein is crying sadly now. She''s furious. I''m afraid you might be harmed if you go in," Jayna advised kindly.


    Those standing in a row at the door were trying tofort Lh. However, they were quickly rebuked and became too timid to approach her.


    "It''s fine." Amber was aware of her aunt''s temper. Smiling, she kept moving forward. "I heard Grady got hurt. As his cousin, I need to see him. Plus, Aunt Lh always treats me nicely. She won''t be angry at me."


    "Ms. Jenkins, you don''t know how serious this is. There''s a big hole in the boy''s head. The doctor said it might affect his intelligence. Mrs. Klein became so anxious, she lost her mind. She''s hugging the boy and keeps crying. She doesn''t allow anyone to get close to her. It''s useless even if you go in,'' Jayna insisted.


    "Got it." Amber spread her hands and stopped Jayna from speaking.


    She took a deep breath and opened the door of the room.


    "Who is it? Didn''t I tell you that no one is allowed toe in?! Get out!" Lh screamed.


    The spacious room was a mess. The floor was full of broken bottles, cans, and messy ornaments. There was some unknown and sticky water, too. Lh was sitting in bed with her legs crossed, crying profusely while hugging her son.


    "Aunt Lh, it''s me." Amber walked into the room on tiptoe for fear she might step on the water. She held her breath and slowly entered the room.


    ''I don''t care who you are! You must havee to harm my son! Get lost now!" Lh picked up a teacup and threw it at Amber''s head.


    "Ah!" Amber failed to dodge in time; the teacup crashed on her forehead and left arge scar. Blood started flowing down her face. "My eyes!"


    Amber instinctively covered her face; moaning in pain, she squatted on the floor.


    By relying on the dimmed light, Lh peeked through the curtains of her bed and looked ahead of her. After a while, she finally regained her wits.


    "Is that you, Gem?"


    "Mm, Aunt Lh. I heard Grady''s hurt, so I came to see you. I mean no harm. You know me, don''t you? I''m Gem, your favorite!" Amber replied.
