"Stop dilly-dallying and hurry back to see how Almond is doing."
Speaking of Almond, Qiao Duo'er's pace quickened a lot.
Almond had jumped into the water to save someone and had come back in wet clothes; if she wasn't careful, she could catch a cold, so Qiao Duo'er had to go home and check on her.
When she got home, Qiao Duo'er saw Almond pacing anxiously at the door.
By this time, Almond was nearly beside herself with worry.
The Tan Family had always treated her extremely well, never considering her a mere servant. She had not had a chance to repay their kindness when she inadvertently caused them such trouble, and that weighed heavily on her heart.
But Madam had given orders, and she could not go out.
Qiao Duo'er scolded, "Didn't I tell you to rest at home, you silly girl?"
"How can I rest in bed after causing such a disaster? How did it go? They didn't give you a hard time, did they?" Almond asked with concern.
