"Coming to see her after so long and making a scene as soon as you arrive, causing the patient to feel uneasy!"
"Bringing the mistress who killed the Second Miss here to see the Young Miss, it's like they're afraid the Young Miss won't die fast or miserably enough... How can a father and grandmother be so ruthless and heartless?"
Daphne suddenly stopped her yelling and struggling when she heard these whispered words.
Because she suddenly realized that what Leon said, that Hattie's condition was not good and that she would never have a granddaughter again... might be true.
Daphne's face turned pale in an instant.
...
The room was quiet to the point of deathly stillness.
Selena walked quietly to the bedside and looked at the little girl lying there with her eyes tightly closed and a lifeless expression, like a doll. Her heart ached a little.
She sat down by the bed and gently took Hattie into her arms with her delicate hands.
Leon stood behind her, looking a bit tired between his eyebrows, and spoke lightly, "She hasn't said a word since she was sent back from that man two days ago..."
Selena gently patted the child's tender shoulders, her eyes were extremely cold.
Two days ago, her own emotions were a mess and she was unable to comfort Hattie at all.
Thinking back now, when Hattie appeared outside the Turner family's gate and helped her block Daphne's slap, her emotions were already not right at that time.
Before that, the little girl must have gone through something.
Perhaps she came to the Turner family to seek comfort and encouragement from her, but she didn't expect that Daphne's slap would deepen her nightmare.
Selena closed her eyes slightly and opened them again a few seconds later.
She looked around this pink princess room with its warm and gorgeous decorations, which showed Leon's intention towards his sister, but there was no trace of tenderness.
Leon loved and protected her, but he had to manage the the Riddle's Company and his own parents... he couldn't always be with her.
Besides occasionally coming to see her, Hattie could only rely on herself.
Selena's expression turned cold again, but her tone was gentle, "Hattie, open your eyes and look at Selena, okay?"
Hattie's eyelashes trembled, as if she wanted to open her eyes, but was dragged back by deeper nightmares.
Selena's voice became even softer, and she leaned close to the child's ear and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's all Selena's fault..."
Hattie's long eyelashes trembled even more, with a greater degree of curvature.
Selena held Hattie tighter and spoke in a softer voice, "It was Selena who caused Hattie's mother's trouble, and also caused trouble for Hattie..."
Selena lowered her head and looked at the face in her arms, which resembled her own. She gently brushed the child's trembling eyelashes with her delicate fingers, as if wiping away a nightmare.
Selena spoke in a tender voice that she had never used before, "Selena will avenge Hattie for you."
"Hattie, you have to wake up and watch those murderers kneel before you and your mother, confessing and repenting!"
Her delicate fingers touched a string of wet marks.
