Chapter 495
When Patriarch Barker heard the word ’brother', the corner of his eyes twitched.
He stared at Frieda, and his expression was hard to read. He could not imagine that Frieda could descend to such a level of shamelessness in her whole life.
How could she still have the cheek to address him as her brother at a time like this?
Patriarch Barker was not a soft-hearted person. His patience with Frieda had run out.
The shrew in front of him was just a stranger who was related to him by blood.
In fact, he was reluctant to admit that they were related by blood.
Patriarch Barker stared coldly at Frieda.
Frieda's eyes met his cold stare. Before she could react to the meaning behind it, she felt a piercing pain in her left foot.
"Ahhh!" Frieda screamed and turned around. She realized that her ankle, had been stabbed by a sharp dagger. Isabella pulled the dagger out swiftly, and there was not a drop of blood on it.
In fact, the dagger was as clean as before.
However, Frieda saw blood gushing out of her wound.
"That's a very impressive technique!" Philip could not help but exclaim.
Isabella moved her fingers nimbly and kept the dagger. She smiled and said proudly, "It's really nothing. The title 'Miraculous Doctor' was not given to me for nothing!"
Philip immediately rolled his eyes and said to Jeanne, 'Jean, listen to her. She’s praising herself now!"
Jeanne replied, "Our Bella is really outstanding."
At this moment, Ricky and Betty recalled the insects. When Erica saw that the insects had disappeared completely, she stopped jumping. ' Mom!1' She screamed and leaped to Frieda's side. She tried to treat Frieda's wound but to no avail. The wound still bled profusely.
Erica's eyes couldn't help but turn red. She looked pitiful and weak as she turned to look at Philip's direction. She cried, 'Philip, my mother is old. She can't withstand such injuries. Please save her! Please!”
As Erica spoke, she rushed toward Philip. Even at this time, she still wanted to put on an act to get a reaction from Philip. No one knew if she was really concerned about Frieda's injuries.
"Get lost! I'm not a doctor!" Philip shouted.
Other than Philip and Jeanne, Isabella had also been irritated with these two women. She said to Draxton, "It's better to get their family members to bring them home. It's not good to trouble the police every day."
Draxton replied, "Before I came out earlier, I had already called Michael."
With that, Draxton took out his phone.
Isabella took a look and saw that Draxton's phone was still switched on and connected. In other words, Michael had heard everything that happened here clearly.
Isabella sympathized with Michael. At the same time, she could not help but give Draxton a thumbs up. "Draxton, well done!"
Her eyes were bright and full of smiles.
Draxton also smiled. The two of them looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces grew wider.
Ricky and Betty smiled too when they saw their parents smiling at each other. The two children squeezed between Isabella and Draxton. One of them hugged Isabella, and the other hugged Draxton.
Anyway, it was good that everyone was happy!
Isabella and Draxton pulled the two children into their arms and looked at each other. This time, they could not help but laugh.
They were surrounded by their loved ones!
Frieda and Erica were in a miserable state.
When Erica rushed toward Philip, he avoided her and got out of her way.
Erica felt hurt and said,' Philip, no matter what, Jeanne and I are cousins. Are you really so heartless?"
Philip's face darkened.
He became more furious when he saw Isabella's curious expression as she was watching them. He thought, "How can Erica act like that to embarrass herself in front of the younger generations?”
Hence, she took out some medicinal herbs used for traditional medicine. Then she spread the herbs on the wound. Instantly, the bleeding stopped.
Michael took out a roll of gauze from the car and went forward to bandage Frieda's wound. Then, he carried her into the car and walked toward Erica.
At this moment, Erica's mind was still filled with Philip and Jeanne. She did not notice that Michael had already arrived.
She realized it only when Michael walked to her side.
Erica glared at Philip and said angrily, "Philip, how dare you humiliate me like this? What's so good about Jeanne?"
"Our family backgrounds are about the same. In terms of beauty, I'm not inferior to her. In terms of knowledge. I’m also as outstanding. But why can't you see the good in me and accept me instead of her?"
Erica had asked the same question more than twenty years ago.
Now, she could not help but ask this question again, as if she had to get an answer.
Michael was about to reach out his hand but he put it down silently. He stood behind Erica, looking at her without saying a word.
Philip and Jeanne looked at Erica with sympathy. Philip said, Why don't you find a mirror to look at yourself? How dare you compare yourself to Jean? You are really shameless!"
Jeanne also said, "Erica, it has been more than 20 years. I didn't expect your brain to still be as useless as ever. With your IQ, why would Philip like you? The person who likes you and married you is probably a fool. If you still have any rationality, you should cherish the people who love you."
Michael's lips twitched, and he could not help but smile bitterly. He thought, "I'm that fool!"
Back then, he knew that Erica did not love him, but he insisted on marrying her.
Even so, he still looked at Erica with a hint of hope that she would come to her senses.
Erica shouted with a shrill voice, "Jeanne, what are you so proud of? Is it just because Philip dotes on you that you feel so superior?
"And I married a good-for-nothing. So what? You only married someone better than me! If we swapped places, you would not be better off than me!'
Jeanne was speechless. She looked at Michael sympathetically.
"Am I really a good-for-nothing in your eyes?" Michael suddenly asked, staring at Erica. His face had turned pale.
