Chapter 5

The woman rushed over, and the flowers in her hand hit Estelle directly. She pushed her back violently and pulled Carmella into her arms.

Simone Kaiser anxiously checked Carmella, ‘Are you hurt? Are you bleeding? Where does it hurt?”

With dewy petals scattered all over the floor, the thorns on the flowers pricked Estelle’s neck, causing a slight sting She looked at the woman’s anxious expression and was stunned for a moment.

Bennett quickly came over and asked Estelle, “Are you okay?”

Simone suddenly turned around, staring at Estelle with a fierce look, “What are you trying to do? Kill Carmella?” Estelle was shocked by the disgust and hatred in the woman’s eyes.

Carmella glanced at Estelle and hurriedly grabbed Simone’s wrist. “Mom, you misunderstand. I asked my sister to help me trim my hair. She didn’t hurt me.”

“Oh, I see!” Bennett laughed and scolded Simone, “You’re always so impulsive. You get angry without figuring things out. Look at Estelle’s clothes, you’ve messed them up.”

Simone, knowing she had wronged Estelle, looked embarrassed and defended herself, “I just saw Estelle holding scissors to Carmella’s neck. How was I supposed to know she was cutting hair?”

“Enough!” Bennett shot Simone a look and turned to Carmella, “Take your sister to change her clothes; she looks all dirty now.”

“Sister, come with me!”

Carmella tried to hold her hand, but Estelle subtly avoided her, her fingers brushing off the petals on her shoulder.

As they entered the bedroom on the second floor, Carmella apologized guiltily, “I’m so sorry, sis. I didn’t expect mom to come home at this time and get you hurt.”

“It’s not your fault!” Estelle’s innocent face showed a faint smile.

Carmella fetched a white T-shirt from the wardrobe and put it on the sofa. “This one is new and I have never worn it before. Try it on, sister, I’ll wait for you downstairs.

“Okay.”
