Chapter 776


    Old Mrs. Constance noticed William’s expression clearly and sighed.


    After lunch, it was time for William and John to return to thepany. Sophia and Matilda sat on the


    sofa and didn’t send them off. In fact, they didn’t even look at them at all. Sighing, John said to his


    father, “Come on, let’s go. Our statuses are about the same.”


    After the two of them left, the family doctor came over to check on Matilda’s injury.


    Indeed, it wasn’t a severe injury. However, the force from the brick had caused Matilda to be afflicted


    with a lumbar sprain. The doctor said that using warmpresses on her lower back before going to


    bed at night would help. Other than that, she was fine.


    Matilda nodded and thanked the doctor. As the doctor knew Matilda from before, he was really taken


    aback to see her being so polite. In the past, not only had Matilda never thanked him, but she had also


    ordered him around bossily. In any case, the doctor courteously responded to her and then left with the


    medicine kit.


    Old Mrs. Constance said she wanted to go for a walk, and Sophia didn’t want to go back to her room to


    lie down, so they pulled Matilda along to the back garden.


    It was quieter at the back of the residence. Perhaps the other mistresses of the Constance Family had


    gone out.


    Old Mrs. Constance thought for a while and then stretched out her hand to Matilda. “This residence has


    always been crowded, but for some reason, it’s never lively. After you two moved out, this ce felt


    even more deserted.”


    Her words were usatory in nature. “Look at how lifeless this ce is! Yet, John doesn’te back


    all the time, and William keeps working overtime at thepany all the time. I’m really at my wits’ end.


    I’m an old woman now. Don’t they care about me anymore?”


    Sophia wanted tough a little. The matriarch of the Constance Family had also changed a little; she


    would never say such a thing before.


    Matilda kept quiet and didn’t say a word. Afterining a little about the loneliness, Old Mrs.


    Constance then turned around to nce at her. “Two days ago, when I went to the monastery, I


    happened to see your mother.”


    Matilda was stunned, for she did not expect that Old Mrs. Constance would talk to her. After giving it a


    thought, she said, “Really? My mother did tell me a few days ago that she intended to go to the


    monastery. I had wanted to go along, but I couldn’t find the time.” It was mainly because she was


    worried about Sophia.


    Old Mrs. Constance nodded. “Your mother has been worried about you. Even though she didn’t say


    anything, I could tell that she is very concerned about you.”


    Matilda just grunted in response.


    Old Mrs. Constance then found a ce to sit down in the garden. Sophia didn’t sit down with her but


    walked around nearby. Old Mrs. Constance said to Matilda, “Do you have any future ns?”


    It was such a broad question that Matilda didn’t know how to answer. I have no idea if this old woman is


    trying to stop me from getting back with William. Hmm… perhaps it was merely a question out of mere


    curiosity.


    Matilda pursed her lips and replied, “I don’t have any special ns right now. I’m going to take a step at

    a time and see how it goes. At my age, I should take things slowly and do whatever I want.”


    Old Mrs. Constance nodded. “Yes, you should do whatever you want.” The old woman didn’t say


    anything more, so Matilda really couldn’t figure out what she meant.


    Sophia wandered around for a bit beforeing back to Old Mrs. Constance and sat next to her. “Is


    Mr. Constance spending a lot of time with Madam Bloom recently? In fact, Madam Bloom hade


    over to my ce the other day.”


    Old Mrs. Constance was startled. “Ynda went to your ce?”


    At the mention of Ynda, Matilda narrowed her eyes but said nothing.


    Sophia muttered to herself, “She said that she came to talk to Madam Flintstone, but I don’t know what


    she wanted to talk about. Anyway, she waited for Mr. Constance to leave before she left with him.”


    Old Mrs. Constance smiled slightly. “Is that so?”


    Matilda was not in the best position to express her opinion, so she didn’t say a word about this.
