CHAPTER 723

When the servant called for the doctor, Belinda hurried over, only to find Serena sitting on the armchair in her bedroom, her eyes red and swollen.

Belinda couldn't help but ask, "Serena, what happened to you, my dear?"

"Grandma." Serena burst into tears as soon as she saw Belinda, her voice quivering with distress.

"Did you fall? How did you get hurt like this?" Belinda gently rolled up Serena's sleeve, revealing bruises.

The family doctor knew at first glance that these weren't injuries from a fall, but from a beating. She was shocked; she couldn't believe that someone dared to hurt Serena to such an extent.

This was too much, and the bruises looked severe. Should she tell Belinda the truth?

"What are you staring at? I'm in so much pain. Please, just help me apply some ointment," Serena wept, trying to control her sobs. "I fell. It was my own clumsiness, Grandma. Don't worry. It'll heal in a few days."
