490: Chapter 491: Annie’s Visit 490: Chapter 491: Annie’s Visit He knew that Moses wouldn’t leave this place until he had eliminated the danger posed by Gan Yuan.
To ensure Moses could return for a dical examination and treatnt as soon as possible, it was urgent to resolve the matter concerning Gan Yuan.
In the room, only Moses remained.
Thinking back to how insistent Gan Yuan was on staying at the hospital earlier, he felt annoyed.
Then he thought of Gan Tang, and the bright eyes of the child lying on the bed, which stirred an indescribable emotion within him, increasing his irritability.
…
…
Duke Residence.
Gan Yuan lay on the soft and warm bed, rolling over a few tis with her eyes closed, yet she was far from sleepy.
Worried about her son and contemplating the events of the previous evening, how could she possibly sleep?
After lying down for a while without any sign of sleepiness, she simply sat up to think through the events of last night carefully.
It was clear that the target wasn’t Huangfu Jue, but either her or Xiaotang.
It was impossible for Xiaotang to have any enemies; the only explanation was her own adversaries.
Over the years, she had always been discreet in her dealings and had not offended anyone significant.
After much reflection, the only possibilities seed to be Annie and Princess Betty.
Princess Betty, with her straightforward and blunt nature, didn’t seem like soone who would stoop to treachery.
Could it be Annie?
Outside the door, footsteps sounded lightly, and Gan Yuan turned alertly.
“Who is it?”
A Servant’s voice ca from outside the door, “Miss, Miss Annie has co to see you.
Would you like her to co upstairs?”
Talk of the devil, and he shall appear, Gan Yuan mused to herself.
“Let her in.”
She wanted to see what kind of dicine Miss Annie was selling in her gourd this ti.
After taking a robe from the wardrobe and draping it over herself, Gan Yuan got up and walked out of the bedroom to the small sitting room upstairs, where Annie had already been led by a Servant.
Aside from Annie, there was also a young assistant following her.
Upon seeing Gan Yuan, Annie imdiately greeted her with a beaming smile.
“I heard there was a small incident in the square yesterday, and several of us were present.
I was worried about you and the young princess, so I ca to visit.
Seeing you unhard brings relief,” she said.
While she spoke, she dared not et Gan Yuan’s eyes and nervously wrung her hands, clearly terrified.
Gan Yuan saw through her pretense at a glance but didn’t call her out on it, simply smiling and inviting the two guests to sit.
A Servant brought in so refreshnts, and Annie spoke with a smile.
“How co I don’t see the young princess?
The little fellow isn’t hurt, is he?”
“He’s currently learning French with his tutor,” Gan Yuan lied smoothly, observing Annie’s expression all the while.
The fact that Gan Tang had been hurt had not been made public.
With the fireworks going off at the ti and the recent disturbance, aside from those directly involved, no one else had taken notice of the shooting incident.
Annie maintained a smile, “The young princess is indeed a diligent learner.”
Gan Yuan smiled back, “Miss Annie, why don’t you speak your mind directly?”
She certainly didn’t believe that Annie had co out of sincere concern for her and Gan Tang.
Seeing Annie hesitate and falter, Gan Yuan knew that Annie surely had sothing on her mind.
Her direct challenge caused Annie’s face to briefly cringe with embarrassnt.
Rembering her mission, Annie mustered her courage to speak.
“Actually, my visit to the Duke Residence this ti is to ask you, Miss Gan, to put in so good words for in front of Duke,” she said as she took a small box that her assistant handed her, gently pushing it towards Gan Yuan, “Please accept this small gift.”
As she spoke, Annie gently pressed the switch, and the lid of the box popped open.
Annie turned the box slightly, revealing its contents to Gan Yuan’s gaze.
