A few seconds later, Nina coughed twice, "Didnāt deliver! Definitely didnāt! With how picky this spoiled brat is, let him starve for all I care! Why should I be the one to deliver food to him? Iād rather see him starve so he wouldnāt bother me anymore, so thereās no way Iād deliver food to him!"
Luckily, Jane Sampson and Nina have been friends since childhood and knew Ninaās personality well.
Otherwise, with Ninaās long-winded denial, Jane Sampson almost believed it.
The more guilty Nina felt, the louder she spoke, as if being loud made her right.
So, Jane Sampson understood that Nina indeed went to deliver food, and even though Alexander Forest has a thick skin, it works when it comes to Nina.
"By the way, has your James Black not returned yet?" Nina quickly changed the subject, fearing that if she spoke too much, Jane Sampson might catch on. "Howās your arm injury? Itās been so long, has it scabbed over yet?"
Ever since Nina left the Black Family last time, she hadnāt seen Jane Sampson again. It wasnāt that she didnāt want to go, but before James Black returned, and before Jane Sampson returned to the public eye, she didnāt want to keep going to the Black Family, afraid of being seen and stirring suspicions.
After all, Peter Gingery had returned to the guard team, and even Bright Sampton had moved out of the Black Family. She couldnāt keep going to the Black Family just to visit Old Master Black, could she?
"Still hasnāt returned," Jane Sampson sighed, "It seems like his mission is pretty troublesome."
After saying that, Jane Sampson rolled up her sleeves to inspect her arm, and the sigh grew louder.
"Most of the scabs have fallen off, but itās so itchy! The new skin itches so much, I really want to scratch it, but grandfather and them keep an eye on me, not allowing me to even think about touching it! Itās driving me crazy, when it gets unbearable, I secretly rub it with my fingertips." Jane Sampson grimaced, looking like she was facing a great ordeal.
The small wounds have mostly healed, and the itch is bearable, but the more severely injured areas have been tormenting her these past few days.
Sometimes, the itch even made Jane Sampson lose her temper.
"The Old Sir and the others are doing it for your own good, donāt scratch, absolutely donāt scratch, or itāll scar even worse," Nina carefully advised Jane Sampson. "Just hold on for a few more days, it wonāt itch anymore soon."
"Itās not about holding on for a few days," Jane Sampson raised her head and howled, "Ah~ itās obviously been ages! Itās been so long!"
The wounds varied in depth and size, so the recovery times were completely different.
Some healed quickly, some slowly.
Some havenāt even scabbed over yet, sticking to the skin, and any accidental touch could bring tears to her eyes.
"Too bad James Black hasnāt returned yet, when he does, if you itch, you can just punch him to distract yourself," Nina comforted Jane Sampson, "When you go abroad to get rid of the scars, Iāll go with you."
Nina had learned from Peter Gingery that everything was already arranged by Brooke, but since Jane Sampson couldnāt go out now, and her arm injury wasnāt ready for scar removal, she could only rely on her willpower to get through each day.
Seeing Jane Sampson remain silent, Nina chuckled, "Youāre not reluctant to hit your James Black, are you?"
"..." Jane Sampson sheepishly touched the tip of her nose.
Nina had hit the nail on the head.
"James Black is working so hard on his mission, itās not like he made me angry, why would I hit him," Jane Sampson timidly defended herself, "Iām a reasonable person, I canāt just throw tantrums."
"Ha, a manual goodbye," Nina scoffed, "Iām being considerate and youāre repaying kindness with bitterness by shoving dog food in my face! Iāll kick you away with a single swing and manually block you, goodbye!"
