Chapter 400: Chapter 400 Kicked and Sent Flying

The water from the cup passed to her spilled out entirely, and Hope was scalded into a shudder.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it all spilled out, it’s all my clumsy fault, Mrs. Lewis, please don’t be angry, it’s all my fault."

Grace Gray immediately stood up to apologize, with tears crazily spinning in her eyes, biting her lower lip tightly, filled with self-reproach.

"It’s okay, as long as you didn’t get scalded." Hope tugged at her lips and wiped her hands with a couple of tissues.

Just as Hope finished speaking, Grace weakly raised her hand, showing a red scald on her fair back hand.

"What happened here? What’s going on?"

Hearing the commotion, Alitzel Williams came out of the kitchen.

Grace, trying to hide her scald, quickly hid her hand behind her back, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing, I was just clumsy and accidentally spilled the water."

"Are you okay?" Alitzel approached.

Grace shook her head with red eyes, tears on the brink of falling.

Alitzel took Grace’s hand to check it, "It’s all red from the scald, how can that be okay? Let’s take you to the hospital to get it checked out."

"No need, Auntie..." she said as tears started to fall.

Alitzel felt a wave of heartache at the sight, "How did the water just spill like that?"

Hope tugged at her lips.

Waylon Lewis, who came downstairs quickly, came to Hope’s side and noticed Hope’s action of wiping her hands and the tea cup on the floor. Waylon’s brows furrowed as he pulled Hope’s hand to see a patch of red on her back hand, causing his pupils to constrict sharply.

The area of Hope’s hand scalded by the hot water was larger than Grace’s, with a red patch on her fair back hand.

Waylon took Hope to rinse the burn, and the two little ones immediately followed.

Seeing their anxious expressions, Hope quickly reassured them, "It’s no big deal. It wasn’t boiling water. It looks scarier than it is—it’ll subside after rinsing for a while."

"Don’t move," Waylon said in a deep voice, as he carefully rinsed Hope’s hand under the water.

Luke and Willow ran upstairs to get burn ointment.

"What happened?"

Hope glanced at Grace outside, a hint of suspicion flickering through her eyes, then returned her gaze to her own hand, "It was an accident, unintentional."

Luke and Willow brought the ointment, and after rinsing, they immediately applied it to Hope’s hand.

"Mommy, does it hurt a lot?"

"It doesn’t hurt anymore, see? It’s already fading."

When everyone came out, Grace was standing outside with her head down, her body stiff, her eyes full of panic and nervousness.

"I’m sorry, Mrs. Lewis, it’s my fault, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry..."

Grace said while lifting her scalded hand to wipe her tears.

Hope, who had no intention of blaming her, saw her tearful, sobbing look, and tightened her eyebrows, "It’s okay, you don’t need to apologize."

With that, Hope handed her the ointment, "Rinse with water and apply this."

Grace immediately thanked her and quietly went to rinse her hand.

For dinner, Alitzel Williams invited Grace to stay, and Hope introduced Grace to Luke and Willow.

"Luke, Willow, this is Teacher Gray, she will be teaching you later, and you must listen to Teacher Gray."

"Teacher? Mommy, why do we need a teacher?" Luke and Willow looked at Hope.

Hope pinched their little noses, "Isn’t it because you two have too much free time on your hands?"

"But we’ve been taught all the knowledge for grades below third by our previous tutors."

Back in y country, they had hired tutors for the two little ones, but the children were so smart that they basically knew everything after hearing it once; nothing was too difficult for them.

Hope pursed her lips, "Then you’ll review, and ask Teacher Gray if there’s anything you don’t understand."

"Okay."

The two little ones sounded somewhat reluctant.

"You’re still unhappy? Thinking only about playing. Even if you know the material, you can’t be complacent. There are always people better than you, and other children are working hard. You two also need to put in the effort."

"Okay." Luke and Willow obediently nodded.

"We’ll be relying on Miss Gray to take care of Luke and Willow from now on."

Grace immediately nodded again, "Of course, you can rest assured, I will definitely do my best."

After dinner, chauffeur took Alitzel Williams home and brought Grace along for the ride.

The next day, Grace Gray came in the afternoon because Hope Williams wasn’t quite at ease with her lack of understanding of Grace Gray. She still asked the house servants to keep a closer eye on her.

Grace Gray still had that timid look. Luke and Willow noticed her restraint and took her to their room.

Hope Williams had prepared all the teaching materials for them and placed them on the desk.

"Teacher Gray, would you like some water?" Willow asked Grace Gray considerately.

Grace Gray’s gaze couldn’t help but be attracted to the room, and she didn’t hear Willow’s words for a moment.

Willow blinked with suspicion and asked again.

Grace Gray snapped back to reality, "Okay, thank you."

Grace Gray kept looking around the room, unable to resist curling her lips.

The house of the rich was indeed different, even the kids’ room was bigger than her entire house.

Grace Gray’s eyes fell on a family portrait hanging on the wall.

It was the one where Hope Williams and Waylon Lewis went to take wedding photos, bringing along Luke and Willow.

Grace Gray’s eyes flickered, and her brows involuntarily furrowed.

Luke walked over to Grace Gray, "Teacher Gray, what are you looking at?"

When Grace Gray turned to look at Luke, she still had that soft and weak appearance, her voice tinged with timidity, "Nothing, I just think your Mommy is really pretty."

"That’s for sure. Mommy is the prettiest."

"Are your daddy and mommy in a good relationship?"

"Yeah, our daddy and mommy’s relationship is definitely good."

Luke looked at Grace Gray with suspicion, "Teacher Gray, why are you asking this?"

Grace Gray brushed her hair and smiled gently, "It’s nothing, I’m just asking. Let’s get started."

"Okay."

The servant knocked and came in. Grace Gray immediately bent down to discuss the topic with Luke and Willow.

"Miss Gray, I’ve cut some fruit for you, please have some." The servant put the fruit plate on the table, while observing Grace Gray.

Grace Gray lightly expressed her thanks.

"Then you continue, I won’t disturb you."

The servant walked out, closed the door, and messaged Hope Williams: Madam, Miss Gray is seriously teaching the young master and young mistress, and they are both very well-behaved.

Hope Williams had just finished a meeting, took out her phone, glanced at the message, and was reassured.

Putting her phone back into her pocket, a voice came from behind her, "Young Madam Lewis."

Hope Williams turned her head and saw Henry Fuller approaching her, obviously, he was here to see Vivia Fuller.

"Young Madam Lewis, I heard about the incident the day before yesterday, and I want to offer an apology on behalf of my cousin."

Hope Williams looked at him indifferently, "Mr. Fuller, there’s no need for that, because I won’t accept it."

Henry Fuller’s expression didn’t change, he chuckled lowly, "Young Madam Lewis doesn’t need to be so petty. My cousin has already fallen to this state, can’t you just forgive her?"

Hope Williams’s expression was cold, "The state she’s in now, you should be very clear how much is real and how much is fake, right?"

"Of course it’s real, the doctors have diagnosed her, what else are you doubting?"

"Doubting that she’s feigning insanity."

Speaking of the devil, Vivia Fuller, still in that oversized hospital gown, took erratic and hasty steps, wandering aimlessly in the corridor.

She seemed to have seen Hope Williams, pointed at her, and then started heading in her direction.

As she approached, a figure emerged from nowhere and stood in front of Hope Williams.

In an instant, a foot kicked the approaching Vivia Fuller five meters away.

Hope Williams was shocked.

Xiao Shi bowed to Hope Williams, "Madam."

"What are you doing?" Henry Fuller asked Xiao Shi, frowning at the fallen Vivia Fuller on the ground.

Xiao Shi’s face was expressionless, his gaze coldly sweeping over Henry Fuller.

"This woman is extremely dangerous. I am protecting Madam. Do you have a problem with that?" Xiao Shi clenched his fists.

Henry Fuller looked at his clenched fists and swallowed hard. Could he dare have any objections?
