My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 910

“How are your studies?” Fae asked.

The woman from before replied, “Sheryn is the smartest girl in our village. She always comes first in exams! If it weren’t for the disaster, she would’ve gotten into a good university in Lake City.”

“That’s right. She’s the hope of our village.” Another woman sighed. “I wonder if this disaster will affect her studies. Sheryn, how’s your mom? I heard she’s still unconscious.”

Sheryn was delighted to hear the compliments from those women.

However, she was taken aback when someone asked her about her mother, but she quickly returned to her senses. I have been worried about Joseph for the past two days. Where would I even have the time to take care of my mom?

In a reserved manner, she said, “My mom wasn’t in good health before this. After being buried in the ground for a long time, she was extremely hypoxic, and her hypertension returned. The doctor said that things aren’t looking too good for her.”

Her eyes reddened as she said that. She looked as though she was really worried about her mother.

To the others, Sheryn was a filial, obedient, and studious child.

Fae felt her heart ache as she listened to Sheryn and felt sympathetic toward her. “Sweetheart, the city just launched a program to support poor students. Why don’t you sign up for it? When the time comes, you can attend university in Lake City and even get subsidies from the government.”

Sheryn’s eyes brightened, and her face was filled with excitement. “Really?”

“She’s the mayor’s wife. Do you think she’ll lie to you?”

“That’s right, Sheryn. Hurry and go sign up for it.”

“Mrs. Field has spoken. Aren’t you going to hurry and follow her?”

Sheryn had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She held back her soaring emotions as she said, “Sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Field…”

“Oh, it’s no trouble at all. I like to help children like you,” Fae said as she cleaned her hands and stood up. “Come on.”

They had not gone too far when a young man hurried toward them. “Mrs. Field, something terrible happened. Ms. Lottie sprained her ankle.”

“What did you say, Winston?” Fae’s expression changed. “I’ll head over right now.” She glanced at Sheryn and said, “Sorry, I need to go and see my daughter. She’s injured.” She then turned to the young man. “Winston, take her to James and tell him she wants to register for the Student Assistance Program.”

“Yes, Mrs. Field.” Winston was James’ messenger, who did miscellaneous things.

Sheryn gritted her teeth in anger. Isn’t it just a sprained foot? Why is Mrs. Field so anxious about it? Damn it. Charlotte is my damn stumbling block. Mrs. Field, you old hag. I’m your future daughter-in-law. Wait and see how I’ll torture you in the future when I marry your son.

Sheryn stared at Fae’s retreating figure as evil thoughts formed in her mind.

Winston scrutinized Sheryn and frowned. Why do I feel this girl is not as innocent as she seems?

At the emergency medical center, Charlotte looked as pale as a ghost. Her face was contorted in pain and discomfort.

Ashlyn held onto Charlotte’s ankle and shot Joseph a look.

Joseph was momentarily taken aback. Thereafter, he said to Charlotte, “Lottie, my head hurts. Ouch!”

Charlotte was shocked. She stopped thinking about her pain as she looked at Joseph anxiously. “Joseph, why is your head suddenly hurting again?”

Just as she was waiting anxiously for a response from Joseph, a crack could be heard.

It was the sound of bones being realigned together.

She could only feel a stabbing pain in her ankle. “Ahh!”

Ashlyn let go of her ankle and took the gauze and ointment from the nurse.

She glanced at Charlotte and said, “Your foot was dislocated, but I’ve realigned the bones together. I’ve also rubbed some ointment on your ankle. Remember to rub it once in the morning and once more at night for the next few days, okay?” novelbin

“Okay…” Charlotte said softly. She then turned to look at Joseph. “Ashlyn, please give Joseph a checkup too. His head hurts.”

“You can’t even take care of yourself. Why are you still worried about him?” Ashlyn asked and raised her eyebrows. A teasing smile slowly made its way to her lips. “He’s an adult and a man at that. He should endure the pain. It’s not a big deal.”
