Both Selena and Hattie's faces were so pale that it was heartbreaking to look at.
Leia quietly walked up behind Selena and whispered, "Madam Selena, you should go rest now."
Selena had been at Hattie's bedside since returning from Creephia in the morning, not leaving for a moment. Her health was already not good, and if she continued like this, she might get sick.
Selena's dark eyes moved, and she seemed to have finally come back to her senses from some kind of emotion. She lowered her head and looked at Hattie, who was nestled in her arms with her eyes closed.
After a moment, Selena whispered, "Come and help me."
Leia was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and went forward to take Hattie from Selena's arms and lay her down on the bed.
Selena moved her numb wrists and legs until they returned to normal, then stood up from Hattie's bedside and walked out of the room.
After Leia closed the door, she dared to ask Selena, "Madam Selena, Miss Hattie...?"
Selena walked downstairs and said, "She will be fine."
Leia blinked. "But Miss Hattie's condition seems more severe than the previous times..."
In the previous few episodes, Hattie was at least conscious. But at this moment, just listening to the maid's description, Leia felt scared.
Selena walked into the bathroom, washed her hands, and sat down at the dining table before saying, "Hattie is a strong and good girl. After this time, they will no longer be able to use her mental illness to harm and threaten her."
The most brutal truth had been seen with her own eyes, so what else could scare this child?
She destroyed Leah. So that woman also wanted to completely destroy Hattie. But she probably didn't expect that Hattie not only did not die but also woke up from the root of her mental illness.
This meant that she had begun to face the truth and facts of her mother's death.
She might be in pain, afraid, or despair... but she would never run away again!
Selena's curled eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head to drink soup.
Leia looked at Selena's cold profile and wanted to ask something, but she couldn't find the words.
After Selena finished a bowl of soup and wiped her hands with a napkin, she left a sentence, "Watch over Creephia tonight!" and went back to her room to sleep.
...
Dominic lay on the ground, watching the flames devour everything around him and spread towards him and Angie.
The feeling of impending death was far more fearful than facing death itself.
Moreover, it was such a brutal way to die.
Dominic lay on the ground and felt for the first time the intense hatred and regret.
If he had not provoked Leah, Selena would not hate him and leave him completely.
