“How heartless can you be?” Bainbridge berated Hannah and Jalen.
“You made her kneel out in the garden for two whole days! If anything happened to her, how are we supposed to explain it to Aunt Ursula?
Johanna may have been in the wrong, but she did her best to repent for her sins. And now, she fainted! Are you still unwilling to forgive her?”
Hannah belatedly noticed that Jalen was also in the living room. He looked calm and collected, as though he didn’t hear a word that Bainbridge said.
“Jalen, say something! Didn’t you hear me? Johanna passed out!”
Hannah sauntered down the last steps and walked into the Living room.
She glanced at Johanna, who had been laid on a sofa and was being fanned by one of the servants.
She looked a little pale, but other than that, nothing else seemed amiss.
Hannah leaned over and pulled Johanna’s eyelids open.
“Hannah! What do you think you’re doing?!” Bainbridge jumped to his feet, afraid that she might do something to Johanna.
“I’m checking her, what else?” Hannah turned to the servant next to her and said, “Call the family doctor, and give her some glucose.
She’ll wake up soon enough.”
Hearing this, Bainbridge launched into another tirade.

“She fainted from hunger,” Hannah cut him off, sounding a little more than annoyed.
“Why are you kicking up a fuss?”
She cocked her head to the side and smirked at him.
“Weren’t you taking her in every night to sleep? When no one is around, you even take her inside to rest in the living room. Don’t worry, you’ve been taking good care of her. She just wasn’t eating enough, that’s all.
Pretty convenient, if you ask me, fainting to gain sympathy.”
Bainbridge flushed in a mix of outrage and embarrassment.
“Hannah!
Have you been spying on me?!”
“Please,” Hannah scoffed.
