Chapter 397 Anyone Can Act


    All Laura could think about was how Horace had banished her, and the idea of that was driving her


    crazy, so she hadpletely forgot to pretend to be friends with ra.


    "You mother asked me to go get you at Horace''s mansion," ra exined patiently, "She told me to


    take good care of you."


    "Helena asked you to do this?" Laura relieved a little hearing that, but her eyes were still full of doubts.


    About what had happened in the opera house, wasn''t that a show put on by ra herself? If not, the


    whole thing was such a freaky coincidence.


    "Yes." ra nodded. "But didn''t you tell me that we are friends, so even if she hadn''t told me toe


    for you, I would never have turned my back on you like that."


    ra was lying, with sincerity on her face. Having dealt with Laura for such a long time, she found it


    ironic that she herself had shaped up to be a good actress.


    "You may as well stay here. You can''t walk that well, so I got a help for you. You can rx and stay


    here. I''ll talk to Horace and ask him to ease off on you."


    Seeing how nice ra was with her, Laura couldn''t help but think, was ra doing all this for a


    purpose? It just didn''t make sense for ra to treat her so well


    Realizing that Laura would not believe in her so easily, ra added, "The marrow transnt operation


    will be undertaken at the end of this month, so you have to take care of yourself."


    That''s the reason. Laura sneered and thought, "No wonder Helena sounded so anxious on the phone,


    because she wasn''t worried about me, but her own life. That nasty woman. I knew her kindness wasn''t


    genuine! But it''s a good thing that they have to count on me now. Since I have nowhere else to go, I


    can seize this chance."


    There was a noticeable relief appearing on Laura''s face, so ra knew that she had sessfully


    dropped her guard off.


    It seemed that ra had the good sense to know that to persuade Laura, she would have to y the


    mutual-benefit card.


    When Laura had figured out why ra hade to save her, she thought ra remained as silly as


    five years before. But with Helena being just ra''s foster mother, was it really necessary for ra, a


    foster daughter, to go so far to do all this for her?


    Despite her qualms, Laura didn''t question her about that because she still had to rely on ra for


    living.


    "ra, thanks for seeing me as friend, and thanks for taking care of me when I''m in need. I''m so sorry


    for what I have done to you before. I was so stupid, and I''m sorry. I apologize."


    She then began to choke and well up. "ra, I''m really sorry. I hope you will forgive me and give me a


    chance to make it up for you. Will you?"


    So "flexible". Deep down, ra was sneering at her, but on the surface, she yed ball. "Those things


    are all history now. Let''s forgive and forget. Don''t say another word about it anymore."


    "Great, great, l won''t talk about it." Laura pretended to wipe her tears. "ra, would you talk to Horace


    and ask him to forgive me?"


    "What happened between you two? Why did he..." ra looked at her with faked embarrassment.


    "Why did he throw you out? You have to walk me through the whole thing before I talk to him."


    "He thought I arranged the assassination at the opera house," Laura said with an aggrieved tone of


    voice. She was being honest with ra because it really had nothing to do with her.


    "Why would he think so?" ra put on a shocked face.


    "ra, you have to believe me. I have nothing to with that. If you want, you can ask someone to look


    into it. Please don''t mistake me for the assassin as Horace does," Laura held her hand, begging.


    "Sure, I believe you." After staring at Laura for a while, ra nodded at her earnestly. "Don''t worry. I


    will exin to Horace about it and tell him you have nothing with it."


    Laura was surprised to hear what ra had said. She actually bought that? What a fool. But then as


    she thought about it, yeah, why would she have not believed her? She wasn''t the one who had tried to


    assassinate her.


    "I''ve got to go now. I can''t stay with you here. I thought you might feel hungry when you woke up, so I


    just asked the servant to make you some porridge. Just eat some, so you may feel better."


    ra behaved exactly like her "BFF", which made Laura despise her more. A person as naive as that


    would never know how she ended up dying!


    "OK, please go. Don''t worry about me. I will eat it," Laura said, looking grateful, "ra, thank you so


    much."


    "Not at all. Get some rest. I''m leaving." ra then smiled and said goodbye to her with a gesture


    before she left the room.


    The minute she shut the door, ra''s face fell


    When she went to the kitchen and saw the help was busy making the porridge. The delicious aroma


    drifted into her nose, but she wasn''t a little bit cheered up.


    "Miss Hutchinson, is there anything I can help?" When the help saw ra in the kitchen, she soon

    wiped her hand with her apron, and walked to her respectfully.


    "From now on, keep your eyes on Laura. Whatever she does, tell me," ra said in a deep and cold


    voice.


    As of then, she would have Laurapletely under her control in case she did anything harmful to


    herself and her child.


    What''s more, Helena''s operation was due at the end of the month, so she had to prevent Laura from


    ying any tricks, otherwise all the efforts made would end up in vain.


    So, the best way was to make her live under her watch.


    "Yes, ma''am" responded the help instantly. She had worked for the Hutchinsons for years, so she knew


    the rule of "Don''t ask".


    "When the porridge is done, bring it to her. Plus, always be careful around her. Don''t get caught," said


    ra a little worriedly.


    "Sure, don''t worry about it," the help answered confidently.


    "Thanks." ra nodded and left the apartment.
