"I... I didn't want to come either, my friend brought me here." Gillian explained briefly, "Second Brother, is my leg broken again?"
Joshua's breath hitched in his chest.
He glanced at her leg and sighed softly, giving a slight nod, "The doctor said you need to change your prosthetic. I've already taken a leave for you from school, but this happening right at the beginning of the term, the headmaster is very displeased with you."
Gillian bowed her head in shame.
She dared not tell Joshua the truth, nor let him seek justice for her.
The incident with Jeremy Norman, she could only swallow hard, daring not to mention to anyone.
At the Leaford family banquet, the atmosphere was still lively. People gathered in small groups, discussing their own interesting topics, and no one noticed this little episode.
Gillian's trouble, because of having been discovered by Joshua in time, did not have significant consequences.
