Suddenly, Mia’s mother, Clara Griffin, rushed forward to hit Josephine.
Josephine and Zachery both reacted in time. When Clara came over, either of them could have easily pushed her away with one hand.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened.
Wilfred rushed over and pulled Josephine into his arms from behind, holding her tightly to protect her.
Helena also rushed over, shielding Wilfred with her body, and took a slap from Clara.
Clara’s ring scratched Helena’s face.
Blood oozed from the wound, trickling down her cheek and dripping onto her collarbone.
Josephine smelled the tobacco on Wilfred and frowned, pushing him away.
Zachery was a step faster, pulling Wilfred away and bringing Josephine to his side.
Just now, both Josephine and Zachery had been watching Clara. Who would have thought Wilfred would rush over?
Josephine glared at Wilfred in annoyance: What a pointless gesture, like scratching an itch with six fingers. Who needs your protection?!
Wilfred understood Josephine’s unspoken message, and his mood suddenly dropped.
Luciana called out, “Mrs. Hayden, your face is bleeding…”
Wilfred’s pupils contracted sharply. He hurriedly turned Helena around and lowered his head to check the wound on her face.
Helena’s eyes were brimming with tears. “My face…”
The importance of a girl’s face goes without saying.
Wilfred was moved and distressed. “Why are you so foolish?”

Tears were about to fall from Helena’s eyes, but she still forced a smile: “For Fred, anything is worth it.”
Wilfred grabbed her hand: “I’ll take you to the doctor to get it bandaged.”
Amelia pulled the dazed Clara aside and comforted her, saying, “Don’t feel guilty. At least you didn’t hit the wrong person. Belinda calls that homewrecker ‘Mom‘ too. Belinda’s real mom is now Natalia’s mother.”
Clara looked a bit embarrassed: “These two families really are… complicated.”
Zachery looked down at Josephine, his eyes asking if she was alright.
Josephine shook her head.
She just felt a bit burdened in her heart.
Because Wilfred had stepped up in a crisis, even though she didn’t need him to…
The little episode ended, and Wilfred came out supporting Helena by the shoulders. The way he carefully protected her was like taking care of a pregnant woman.
Amelia didn’t have a good impression of Helena. She put her left hand on her hip and pointed at Wilfred and Helena with her right, saying:
“Do you even know how to be parents? Buying expired jelly for your child and letting her bring it to school! My husband’s family has only one son in nine generations. If something happens to him, I won’t let you off the hook.”
Helena had gauze on her face, her eyelids tinged red from holding back tears, looking pitiful.
“I’m sorry, parents. It’s all my fault. I had someone buy that jelly for Belinda from abroad not long ago. I only checked the ingredients and didn’t look at the production date. It’s my mistake, and I apologize to everyone.”
Helena bowed, and Wilfred pulled her up, shielding her behind him.
“We’ll cover all the children’s hospital bills, nutrition fees, compensation, and the parents‘ lost wages. We can settle each item one by one, or you can just name a total amount.”
Zachery suddenly chuckled, “He really hasn’t changed at all.”
He spoke softly, so only Josephine could hear.

Josephine: “?”
Zachery repeated, “I said, he really hasn’t changed. Two years ago, at SlowHour Farm, I saw him handle a similar incident.”
Following Zachery’s words, Josephine’s memory was pulled back to two years ago.
At that time, Belinda was three years old, and her spoiled little princess personality had already begun to take shape.
It was rare that both she and Wilfred were free, so they took Belinda on a vacation to SlowHour Farm.
