Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 395

When Verdant Monastery was mentioned, the faces of Yuvan’s family members changed immediately. Yuvan’s eldest son, Randall, was about to sit down when he heard it.

He abruptly asked, “Verdant Monastery? Do you know how our mother is faring?”

“Not well!” Carissa looked directly at Randall. “If you care about her, why didn’t you go see her yourself?”

Randall glanced at Yuvan, who remained indifferent and said nothing.

…I was at the academy and couldn’t leave,” Randall replied awkwardly.

“Is that so? With so many people in Horizon Estate, no one could leave? Only two maids were sent to attend to her. If it weren’t for Sebastian’s apprentices, Jasmine and Ivy, how long could she have lasted at Verdant Monastery?”

Sabrina, who never thought much of Carissa because she had been divorced, was displeased by her words and said, “I didn’t realize that my cousin–in–law had a penchant for meddling in other people’s affairs.”

Carissa’s gaze cut through Sabrina like a knife as she retorted, “And I didn’t know there were such ungrateful daughters in this world.”

Yuvan pressed his hand to his chest and sighed heavily, “If I had known her illness was so serious, I would have stopped her from going to Verdant Monastery. She insisted on going to fulfill a vow made years ago, so that Melanie’s family could find peace in the afterlife.”

Before Carissa could respond, Violet, standing behind her, was visibly enraged.

“This is the first time I’ve heard someone blaming his dead wife because he abandoned her for a favored concubine.

“No one wants to be away from their husband and children when seriously ill, only to die quietly in a cold, desolate monastery. It’s clear you forced her to go. If you had treated her with any kindness, she wouldn’t have died so early,” Violet ranted.

“Preposterous!” Yuvan’s face darkened. “Who are you to dare speak so recklessly about my family matters in my presence? She went of her own volition Everyone in the household can testify to that.”

Violet sneered coldly. “Once someone is dead, you can say anything. But I hope that before you die, Prince Yuvan, you also find a monastery to die alone in without any of your children by your side. If you
