Can't you behave yourself?

Miranda felt like she had a long dream. She dreamt about her parents and grandma. They were by her side. All of them were well and alive. Besides them, there was also someone whom she didn't expect… When Miranda regained her senses, she saw nothing but pitch black.

She felt like she had been asleep for a long long time. Miranda tried to get up from bed but she couldn't move a muscle. She began to pinch her limbs. Once she regained her strength, she got off the bed and made her way to the side of the room. She basked herself in the sunlight as she pulled the blinders open.

She dashed to the door barefoot. She opened the door and was about to rush out. Unexpectedly, she almost bumped into Henry who came to check her.

"Ms Fuller, How are you feeling?" Henry asked.

"He is brother's friend and doctor," George said from the side.

"I am fine," Miranda said slowly.

"Thanks, Dr. Henry," Miranda said while pressing the cotton swab on her finger after drawing some blood.

"You're welcome. Richard is paying me after all." Henry put away the tools on the table and stood up.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, George grabbed his jacket on the coat rack and said, "Brother wants me to return to the office to settle some matters. Please call Dr. Henry immediately if you're feeling unwell."

Noticing that Miranda's face turned pale, George said, "Brother takes care of you the whole night."

Miranda just nodded her head without a word.

"Who is it?"

Katherine opened the door and in the next moment, she tried to close the door. But the last pressed her hand against the door to prevent her from closing it. Miranda pushed open the door and slid into her room.

Trash of light flashed across Miranda's eyes and she said in a cold voice, "Why? Did I scare you?"

Katherine's face turned pale. She struggled to speak when she saw Miranda's murderous eyes.

"What did I do to you, Katherine? Tell me!"

Katherine was blinking like a startled deer, "Miranda....Please!"

Miranda grabbed Katherine's hand and forcefully pulled Katherine. "You piece of trash!"

Katherine with panicked eyes quickly held on to the door frame. Raising her head, she saw Miranda's ugly face. "Miranda, I am sorry...Please forgive me."

There was a faint smile on Miranda's face. She looked extremely gentle, however, she started to raise her leg. She kicked Katherine's abdomen with her long leg. "Katherine, I will hunt you..."

Miranda moved toward her, forcing Katherine to take a few steps backwards.

"Sister!" A voice came from the door. George dashed into the room with an anxious expression.

"Sister, calm down! Richard will take care of it" He said in a convinced tone.

"Miranda, I don't know anything. I just do what...."

"Shut up!" George cut Katherine's words quickly.

Miranda cocked her eyebrows. "Do what?" She snapped.

George's eyes flickered and hurriedly held Miranda's hands. "Sister, Please calm down."

Miranda shoved his hands off and tried to approach Katherine but she couldn't when George held her hands again.

"Let go!" Miranda shot him a deep look.

"Miranda, I just...do..what Amelia said. I am sorry." Katherine voiced out in fear.

Miranda flinched as if someone had poured a cold bucket of water over her. Soon, the temperature of the room had dropped to subzero within seconds.

"Please! Let me work in DonB. I don't have any idea that you are Director's wife. Please! I am a single mother." Katherine broke down into tears.

George didn't raise his head as he slowly released her hands.

"Did Richard know?" She gazed at George while trying hard to hold back the tears that were trying to fall from her eyes.

"Answer me! George" She was sobbing a little as she finished her words.

George with a fearful expression nodded his head.

Miranda pursed her lower lip, and tears gushed down her cheeks. "WoW! Your whole family was a thrash!"

Miranda locked herself the whole evening. When she woke up, she saw a man sitting beside the bed.

"Didn't she lock the door?" She thought.

"Do you want some water?" Richard asked.

Miranda didn't respond. She simply pulled the blanket higher and curled up under it. When Richard saw that her temper was acting up, he raised his brows and walked to the bedside. In a gentle but domineering manner, he lifted the blanket on her.

"Come here. Let me apply the medicine for you." He said.

Miranda pursed her lips and intended to snatch the ointment from his hand so that she could do it herself in the bathroom.

But before she could do it, the man grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. "Can't you behave yourself?"

"I can't behave myself." Using her hands, she pushed him away and walked towards the bathroom.
