"No, I'll stay here and watch over her." A servant shook her head, seemingly worried, "Miss Amanda is only two and a half months pregnant, and the fetus is at its most unstable period. Even if the doctor says it's okay, I'm not at ease... I'll stay here and keep her company tonight."
This servant had been with the Johnson family for almost forty years, even longer than Mrs. Johnson herself, and she had taken care of Amanda Smith since she was a child, treating her with the same affection one would have for a granddaughter. Upon hearing that Amanda had had an accident, she couldn't sleep and rushed to the hospital immediately.
Mrs. Johnson's expression darkened. Although the servant spoke respectfully and did not mean to blame her, whether it was out of guilt or defensiveness, Mrs. Johnson felt as though there was an implied criticism.
