Chapter 353 She Was Merely Feigning Injury
Fanny nestled in Yaxley’s arms, one hand on Yaxley’s arm and the other on her own leg, as if she had injured her leg.
Witnessing Fanny’s pitiful appearance, a bystander immediately stepped forward and asked Yoanna, “Why did you suddenly push her?”
He had noticed the situation earlier and decided to ask at that moment.
Yoanna was initially stunned, then reacted and explained, I didn’t use force. She…”
She was at a loss for words and could only look helplessly at Yaxley.
Before Yaxley could respond, Fanny spoke up, “Yaxley, it’s not Miss Tuckson’s fault. I lost my balance.”
Despite her words, she appeared distressed, and no one believed she was unharmed. Instead, she seemed to be unfairly treated but remained silent.
Upon hearing Fanny’s statement, Yoanna quickly added. “Yes. It was her own fault for losing her balance.”
However, a few individuals continued to observe her, their gazes shifting between her and Fanny, maintaining silence.
Yaxley glanced at Yoanna and suggested, “Let’s discuss today’s events later. I’ll take Fanny to the hospital.”
Fanny, nestled in Yaxley’s arms, cast a timid glance at Yoanna, pursed her lips, and said nothing more.
Yoanna, however, could clearly discern Fanny’s expression. She even noticed the smugness in Fanny’s gaze and quickly followed suit.

“Yaxley, it’s my responsibility that she fell. I’ll accompany you to the hospital,” she said, directing a defiant look towards Fanny.
Yet, Fanny avoided eye contact, clenching her teeth tightly.
Yaxley remained unaware of the tension between the two and silently agreed for Yoanna to accompany him.
During the car ride, Yoanna suddenly inquired, “Yaxley, when did you start seeing her?”
Yaxley, driving the car, replied, “Not too long ago.”
Fanny bit her lip, wanting to speak, but refrained.
“Not too long ago? That explains it. But why rush into an engagement? Will your parents approve?”
Angela is from Riverdon, and Fanny claims to be Angela’s sister, so naturally, she is also from Riverdon. Yoanna doubted that the Kins Family would accept Fanny as a daughter–in–law.
Yaxley glanced at Yoanna impassively. “It’s not their concern.”
Observing his expression, Yoanna immediately held back the words she was about to say.

Knowing Yaxley well, she sensed his impatience and refrained from speaking out of turn.
The car fell into silence.
Fanny observed the two of them, feeling frustrated.
Although Yoanna spoke only briefly, she could sense the Kins Family’s views on Yaxley’s choice of partner.

Yaxley’s parents most likely would not approve of their relationship.
Yoanna also contemplated this and remained silent.
The three individuals in the car were lost in their thoughts, with Fanny being the most frustrated,
Fanny underwent a check–up at the hospital. Upon arrival, it was Yaxley who carried her inside.
Yoanna followed closely, wanting to speak but hesitating, only able to gaze at the two of them.
Seeing Yaxley carrying Fanny in, the doctor who recognized Yaxley hurriedly approached, wiping sweat from his forehead and cautiously inquiring, “Mr. Collier, what happened to this young lady?”
Catching a glimpse of Yoanna following behind Yaxley, the doctor’s gaze towards Fanny became somewhat puzzled.
Yaxley explained, “She fell, so she needs to be examined.”
The doctor promptly arranged for Fanny to undergo an examination. Although the issue was not severe, there were visible marks on Fanny’s legs from the fall.
She had always been delicate since she was young, and even a minora bump would appear serious on her. When she fell, she did not brace herself, making it look worse than it was.
After applying medication, she was once again carried to the hospital bed by Yaxley.
Yoanna had been by Yaxley’s side throughout. While Fanny was being examined, she tried to explain to Yaxley that she did noty push Fanny with force and that Fanny might be pretending.

However, upon seeing the marks on Fanny’s legs, she fell silent.
She gazed in disbelief at Fanny’s treated leg.
Yaxley remained silent, giving Yoanna a faint look before focusing on Fanny, asking with concern. “Are you still in pain?”
“Not anymore. Ouch… Fanny shifted slightly, wincing as if she had touched a sore spot accidentally, and quickly added. “Don’t blame Miss Tuckson. She didn’t push me on purpose.”
Yoanna’s expression turned even more incredulous.
“I didn’t push you on purpose, and you were the one who bumped into me first!” Yoanna pointed at Fanny
If Fanny hadn’t bumped into her, she wouldn’t have touched Fanny at all.
Fanny seemed taken aback by the sudden increase in volume and moved closer to Yaxley.
“Apologize to Fanny Yaxley instructed Yoanna.
Yoanna looked at Yaxley in disbelief. “Why should I apologize to her? I didn’t push her hard at all! She’s pretending to fall like this.”
Fanny softly interjected, “Yaxley, I didn’t pretend. I’m really unwell. I wouldn’t joke about my health
As she spoke, she clung to Yaxley, looking pitiful.
“You’re pretending” Yoanna blurted out, unable to contain herself. “Yaxley, she’s not as innocent as she seems. She came to Northland because her reputation in Riverdon was tarnished. Don’t trust her!”
Fanny’s eyes narrowed, convinced that it was Angela who had informed

Yoanna.
Yaxley. I’m scared. She needed Yaxley to remove Yoanna first, or she wouldn’t be able to explain.
Upon hearing Fanny’s words, Yoanna wanted to intervene but hesitated. Yaxley, wait for me to get the newspaper; then you’ll know what she has done!”
Fanny’s expression changed when the newspaper was mentioned.
Thankfully, Yaxley chose to defend her, telling Yoanna firmly, “Shut up. Apologize, or leave.”
Yoanna was stunned, frightened by Yaxley’s gaze and hurt by his cold words.
She was even more flustered when Yaxley, seeing her hesitation, carried Fanny away.
She wanted to follow them, but Yaxley scolded her, and at the same time, she caught Fanny’s triumphant and challenging gaze.
Yoanna’s mind was in turmoil as she watched Yaxley depart.
