Chapter 231 Went to Ask the Dog
Mother said, “Alexander initially thought the same, but the villager said that the place where those
skeletons were found was the village that had sunk into the ground years ago. Moreover, some stone
tools and some iron tools used by the villagers, some things that could not rot, were all found.” She
paused slightly, then said, “Could this have been caused by the movement of the earth’s crust? After
all, many phenomena in nature occur quietly.”
I pursed my lips, momentarily hesitating. If it was as my mother had said, then if the remains of those
victims from that year were found, someone would discover the connection between the mountain’s
subsidence and the mining that took place that year.
“Tabatha, are you listening?” I hadn’t spoken for a while, and my mother’s voice came from the other
end of the phone.
Into the phone, I quickly spoke, “Mom, I’m listening.” After a slight pause, I still couldn’t help but say,
“No matter what, you guys should come back early.”
Over the phone, the mother replied, “Alright, Alexander and I will come back as soon as we finish our
work. By the way, how have you been these past few days? Are you okay? Has Ashley been giving you
any trouble?”
I spoke, helplessly saying, “I’m fine, Ashley is in jail, what trouble can she cause me? As long as you
guys come back earlier, so I don’t have to worry.”
Mother still worried, “What about the Hinton family? You and Walter…
Knowing she wanted to nag about these trivial matters again, I quickly said into the phone, “I’m fine,
everything is as usual, and I’ve already divorced him, what could possibly happen between us? Alright,
it’s getting late, you should go to bed early, remember to come back early.”
Upon seeing this, my mother didn’t say much more and hung up the phone with me.
When Walter came in again, he was carrying a medicine box. Seeing him, I didn’t really have anything
to say. I turned around to dry my hair and deal with my own things.
Just as I turned around, I suddenly heard a “hiss!”
Subconsciously, I turned around and saw Walter reaching back to remove the bandage that had
already been wrapped around his head. He couldn’t see the wound, so he was preparing to apply the
medicine by feeling his way around.
I quickly walked over to him, took the medicine from his hand, and looked at him with furrowed brows,
“Don’t we have a doctor at home?” How tough was he to have to apply medicine himself?
Seeing the medicine taken by me, he snatched it from my hand and said, “Dr. Li didn’t live in the old
house, it’s late now, it’s troublesome for him to go back and forth, the wound is not big, I can handle it
myself.”
I was speechless. If only his eyes could see the wound at the back of his head, I could have turned a
blind eye, but…
Seeing him about to apply medicine to himself again, I couldn’t hold back and said, “Let me help you
change it.”
After speaking, I couldn’t be bothered to say more to him. I took the medicine and went behind him to
apply it. The wound wasn’t big, and the place where he was hit had already scabbed over. As long as it Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

didn’t get wet, it would be fine in a day or two.
I wasn’t sure if he really had a concussion as he claimed, so I didn’t dare to tease him for being
melodramatic.
I applied the medicine but didn’t bandage it with gauze because it wasn’t necessary.
I handed him the medicine and got up to busy myself, only to be suddenly pulled back by him.
“What are you doing?” Almost pulled down by him, I looked at him with a frown of displeasure.
The man had attractive eyes and eyebrows. It was rare for him to be sitting while I was half-standing,
observing him in this way, his facial features became even more distinct and handsome, “Thank you.”
After waiting for a long time, he only said these two words. I pursed my lips, withdrew, and lightly said,
“No need.”
The corners of his handsome mouth lifted as he said, “Grandma asked me how I got this wound, and I
told her it was you who hit me.”
I was taken aback, staring at him in disbelief, “When did I hit you? Walter, there’s a limit to talking
nonsense.”
Seeing that I was about to lose my temper, he smirked and said, “Wait until I finish speaking before you
get angry, okay?”
I pursed my lips, my face already showing displeasure.
He, however, remained completely composed and said, “Grandma said I deserved to be beaten. She
didn’t believe me, so I told her that I was injured by a dog because I was meddling in things that were
none of my business.”
Mc
Looking at him. I had a feeling that he was just dragging me into nonsense talk at that moment
He gave a faint smile. “But I still don’t believe it, how on earth did I get my head injured by a dog for
being nosy? Tabatha, would you mind telling me the details?*
pursed my lips, saying lightly, “Didn’t I tell you? When I found you. you were already injured How would
I know the details? If you’re really curious, why not find those two dogs and ask them
