“No, it’s Mrs. Mercer suddenly fainted in the park. Thappened to see her, so I sent her to the hospital.
Upon hearing this, Jason’s expression turned cold. “Wow, they short on help? No guarde? So they needed you to play nurse?”
Jason
Evelyn had no choice but to shut up. She knew that because of her, Jason had always been had to the Mercer family. Without any explanation, she carefully raised her head. “I haven’t had dinner for a whole day. Is there any food in the kitchen?”
Jason eyed Evelyn coldly, clearly not buying her topic switch. But her look softened him, and without a harsh word, he turned and headed for the kitchen.
“Humph, you are so diligent to help outsiders that you can’t even have a meal.”
Evelyn giggled. It appeared that Jason had been showing more concern for her lately.
Once the savory meal was served. Evelyn eagerly grabbed her fork and dug in
“Slow down Are you so starved? Hasn’t the Brin family treated you well recently?”
Jason came out with a plate and fork and sat opposite her.
“You just said that Mrs. Mercer was sent to the hospital. What happened?”
Evelyn ate a piece of meat and shook her head. “I don’t know. Zoey and I were near that small park when we saw Mrs. Mercer being helped out of the park. The doctor said she was too frightened.”

Evelyn, with her phone in hand, hesitated on her bed about calling to ask after Jasmine. Thinking she might still be asleep. Evelyn shelved her worries and slept till 7:00 am, then got up early.
The morning air was crisp, and a snipping sound carried from the yard. Evelyn looked to find Brian in his wheelchair, intently trimming the trees with large pruning shears
Dad
Evelyn slowly walked over and took the shears.
“Okay, I can’t trim the upper part. You can do it. Brian moved the wheelchair aside.
Hearing this, Evelyn immediately picked up the shears earnestly, stared at the tree without blinking, and carefully trimmed

A few minutes later, when she raised her head, she saw Brian looking at the tree silently
“Dad?”
Brian raised his head. “Do a good job. Ask Jason to trim next time.”
A tree that used to be shoulder-high had been trimmed down a whole foot.
Brian pretended not to see it. “I heard from Jason that Mrs. Mercer has been sent to the hospital?”
Evelyn nodded and looked at Brian carefully. “I want to see her later
