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.

Then, his two small hands swiftly flew across the keyboard and he quickly found the studio where Kaylee worked. After finding a document folder on her computer, a smug smile tugged at the corners of his lips. The firewalls are a joke; there are no

It was a scene of Kaylee pulling a child out of the chair, followed by a scene depicting Gianna sending Kaylee flying with her kick, and lastly, a shot of the sign saying ‘Kaylee Aubrey and Dogs Not Allowed Inside‘. His frown deepened. “Which family does Kaylee Aubrey belong to?” Xavier replied, “Her father is Gael Aubrey of the Aubrey Company.” Then, Silas went through the comments, scanning through them quickly before raising his eyes to ask, “Is the child okay?” “I think so,” Xavier said. Then, Silas frowned again. “Why does this place look so similar to Brian‘s restaurant?” In response, Xavier chuckled. “It is Young Master Brian‘s restaurant. It‘s the one near the mall. I can‘t believe Young Master Brian supported Miss Aubrey so much that he even put up a sign like that.” Meanwhile, Silas fell into deep thought. Brian is never one to poke his nose into somebody else‘s business. Besides, didn‘t Gianna steal his phone last time? Why would he want to help her? Something‘s not right! Her medical skills are top–notch. Moreover, she earned 50 million just from one consultation. Why would she need to steal a phone? What am I not getting right? Thus, he took out his phone and called Landon.

Otherwise, I wouldn‘t have asked her to go back. Is she unable to cure Great–grandpa?” Silas replied, “That‘s enough; shut up.” Landon was completely dumbfounded. “Okay.” “How long do you plan to stay away?” Silas asked. Landon didn‘t understand the question, so he stupidly went, “Huh?” “What do you mean by ‘huh? I‘m asking you to get your ats back here. You‘re not allowed to sneak away when you

asked coldly. 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 lady was such a nice person; she even helped to pay for the medical fees. Afterward, I wanted to pay her back, but she refused to accept it. Now
