Chapter 16: Curse
Sue’s pov
"What?"’ I demanded, watching as Adele grew even angrier. She glared daggers at me and wss gripping her son too tight that I was certain it was definitely hurting, telling from the scrunch of his little face.
"Are you stupid? Does he look hurt to you?" I questioned, gesturing at her son who was trying to free his hand from his mother’s tight grip, and failing. At this point, a few people had gathered and were currently watching the unfolding scene.
"My hand hurts, mum." The boy finally mumbled and as soon as his mother feeed his hand, she pointed a finger at me.
"See? Did you hear that? You hurt his hand! How could you be so wicked?!" She thundered and I sighed as I presddd my fingers agsinst my forehead, feeling beyond irritated at this point.
"That was because you were gripping his hand tight, dummy. You can ask him yourself." I snapped and Adele flattered for a moment before crouching before her son who stood awkwardly like he didn’t understand the situation.
"Honey, did that freak hurt you?" She asked softly, pointing at me and I scoffed underneath my breath, already completely over this situation. Her son glanced at me before shaking his head firmly, without any hesitation.
"You didn’t bother to ask me a thing, mum. She didn’t hurt me, she saved me!" He explained, beaming at me and once again, I felt my heart tighten in my chest. Adele remained crouched in the same spot before her gaze flashed at me in clear annoyance before she had to physically turn her son’s head around till he was facing her once again.
"She saved you? How? From what? From a dagger she formulated so that we can be grateful to her or what?" She demanded, staring at her son sternly and he physically recoiled for a moment before carefully responding.
"I was sliding down the stairs railing and almost fell but she caught me." He finally admitted and I watched as Adele gritted her teeth tight, appearing extremely furious right before she screamed for her personal maids and that of her son and they instantly fell on their knees as soon as they arrived.
"Who was in charge of watching him when he was sliding down the freaking railing? What if he had hurt himself? Do you all want to lose your heads?!" She thundered and they all began to beg profusely. As I stared at the unfolding scene, I let out an irritating scoff just as my own maids climbed down the stairs, watching the unfolding scene wearily. As soon as they were at my side, and spun around and motioned for them to come with me.
