Dream or Not: A Devil or An Angel

Chapter 49: Fall Down

When they arrived home, Eric saw them come back together. He smiled with relief and said, "You are both back."

Alina smiled and called, "Dad."

"Dad," said Sheffield in a low voice.

"Why do you come back so late today?" Wendy walked out of the kitchen, looked at them and asked.

"I have something to do at school, so I'm late. Sheffield is on duty today. We happened to meet on the bus." Alina not only explained the reason why she came back late, but also explained the reason why Sheffield came back late.

"What can happen in your school? You are not on duty. How can you be delayed?" In Wendy's mind, her daughter would come home late only when she was on duty.

"Because..." Alina was about to say something about the rehearsal, but she changed the subject. "I didn't understand some problems, so I asked the teacher to explain them for me. So it's late."

Wendy felt relieved after hearing that her daughter was studying. Although she didn't think it was important for a girl to study well, she was happy to see her daughter's grades getting better and better.

At this time, Eric said, "Wendy, I know you care about the children, but they have their own things to do. As long as they are safe, they can come back later."

Hearing this, Wendy glared at him and said to Alina and Sheffield, "Go upstairs and wash your hands. Come down to have dinner later."

"Yes, madam!" Alina made a salute and went upstairs with a smile.

Seeing the interaction between Alina, Eric and Wendy, Sheffield felt like an onlooker. He kept a poker face all the time.

Walking on the stairs, Alina gently persuaded him, "You should be closer to your father. He really cares about you."

Sheffield sneered, "You are so hypocritical. You and your mother hope my father to treat me worse!"

Alina stopped and retorted, "Who said that? Do you take me as the previous Alaina again?" Then she sighed deeply, "Alas! I'm not her. I told you! Do you think she can get the first place in the class? Could she be so sincere to you? Could she talk to you so kindly? Could she put a hot face on your cold ass?"

Hearing the vulgar metaphor, Sheffield felt embarrassed.

"She has a grudge against you, but I have no grudge against you. You can't punish me for her mistakes. It's unfair to me! Right?"

Sheffield snorted, "Who can be blamed for this? It's all your fault. You two share the same body. It's all your fault that you didn't show up earlier!" After saying that, he walked past Alina and stood in front of her.

"Hey, it's not my fault. It's the fate!" Seeing that Sheffield strode upstairs without looking back, Alina was so excited that she tried to catch him.

However, she grabbed Sheffield's collar. He walked too fast. When he was suddenly caught in the collar, he fell backwards.

Alina was right behind him. Seeing that she made him fall down, she did not hesitate to help him, and then... Both of them rolled down the stairs.

Fortunately, there were not many steps, and soon they were on the ground.

They were lying apart on the ground.

Alina ran to Sheffield and asked, "Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Sorry, I didn't mean it!"

"Stay away from me!" With a long face, Sheffield pushed away Alina, brushed the dust off and stood up.

Fortunately, he was not injured.

Seeing that Sheffield could move freely, Alina sat on the ground and patted her chest. As long as he was fine! 'That is okay as long as you are not hurt!'

However, when she moved, she felt a piercing pain in her ankle and screamed, "Ah..." Cold sweat came out from her forehead.

When Sheffield was about to leave, he stopped and looked back.

The girl was stiff, biting her lips tightly and staring at her left foot. Her face was pale, and sweat dripped from her forehead.

She was hurt!

Looking down at the girl on the ground, Sheffield was speechless. It was her who made him fall. He was fine, but she was injured!

"You... What's wrong with you?" Alina raised her head and was about to answer, but Wendy, who heard the noise, asked, "Alaina, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"Mom, I sprained my ankle!" As soon as Alina finished her words, she reached out her hand to Sheffield, who was stunned, hinting him to help her.

After hesitating for a while, Sheffield reached out his hand. Then he heard Wendy screaming, "What are you doing?"

"Mom, he is helping me! I slipped and fell when I went upstairs. My foot seems to be hurt."

"Don't move!" Wendy ran up to her anxiously, pushed Sheffield away and asked, "Where did you hurt? Does it hurt?"

Wendy's scream attracted Eric. He stood downstairs and asked, "What's wrong with Alaina?"

Wendy cried, "Honey, Alaina's foot is hurt. Call an ambulance!"

"Okay, I'll ask the butler to call the ambulance right away. Peter, Peter..."

It was dinner time, so Peter went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. When he heard Master call him, he hurried out of the kitchen.

"Master, what can I do for you?"

"Call an ambulance right now. Alaina hurt her foot by accident just now."

"Okay, I'll call it right now."

Looking at the anxiety and worry on Wendy's face, Alina could feel that Wendy's love for her daughter was the same as her mother's love for herself.

In her eyes, she was her daughter.

"Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry too much. The ambulance will come soon." Alina comforted Wendy with a smile.

"Why are you worrying me so much! It's only been a few days since you were safe. And now your foot is hurt. You scared me to death, don't you know?"

"I'm sorry to make you worried. I'll be more careful in future!"

"Don't say sorry to Mom. I will be happy as long as you are safe!"

"I know, I know..." Replied Alina in a low voice, with tears in her eyes.

This must be the most simple expectation of mothers all over the world for their children.

The love between mother and daughter was so touching and dazzling. Seeing this, Sheffield's heart was filled with envy, jealousy, nostalgia, sadness, expectation, and self-mockery.

There was nothing else for him to do here. He withdrew his complicated gaze, turned around and left.

"Why hasn't the ambulance arrived yet? If she is suffering from an acute disease, she will..." Speaking of this, Wendy immediately patted her own mouth, "Bah, bah, bah, I'm talking nonsense."

Alina was amused by her words, "Mom, the ambulance is not a rocket. It's not that fast!"
