The Returned Heiress Who Had It All (Cassia) novel Chapter 412

Chapter 412 Back to School

Danica had heard every word of the conversation outside just now.

Cassia had saved her and was treating her depression–right now, Danica trusted her completely.

“Danica…” Victoria looked at the firm expression on Danica’s face, her own expression complicated.

Vance was the same.

After hesitating for a long moment, Victoria finally spoke. “Alright.”

Her granddaughter had said she was willing. No matter how much she disliked Cassia or resented her, what else could she do?

Since Victoria had spoken, Vance had no choice but to swallow whatever complaints he still had.

And so, Cassia took Danica back to Dunstino Bay.

When Seven saw Danica at Cassia’s house, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

“Ms. Wood, why did you bring her here?”

This Danica–athletic but not exactly sharp–had helped that fake, two–faced Brie bully Cassia more than once in the past.

Seven glanced at the suitcases piled on the floor.

Is she planning to live here long–term?

“You just got one kid better, and now you’ve taken on Danica, a depression patient. Can you even handle that? And besides… the way she used to treat you…” Seven felt like Cassia was being way too much of a pushover.

“I promised my mom I’d cure Danica,” Cassia said lightly.

Draven looked at Cassia without saying a word.

She had just barely finished treating one, and now there was Danica. Forget the past conflicts–just the effort alone…

Thinking about it made his chest ache for her.

But he knew she had her reasons for everything she did. What she needed wasn’t interference. It was understanding and support.

In truth, Cassia didn’t feel tired at all. If anything, her life felt fuller.

She went to school during the day and came back at night to treat Danica.

Before long, it was late April.

One evening, as usual, Cassia returned to Dunstino Bay to treat Danica.

Danica opened her gradually clearing eyes, held Cassia’s hands, and said, “Cassia, I wanna go back to school.”

Cassia wasn’t used to people holding her hand.

Even Draven didn’t get that privilege–let alone Danica.

She gently pulled her hand back. “Do you think you’re ready?”

“Yeah.” Danica nodded. Even when Cassia withdrew her hand, she didn’t get upset.

“Okay. I’ll take you tomorrow.”

The next day, Cassia brought Danica to Zrario High.

Just like when she walked down the street with Sterling, Cassia walked in front, and Danica followed obediently behind her.

The stares from people around them made Danica uncomfortable, but it was still within what she could handle.

“Probably because you haven’t been to school in a while.”

Cassia’s voice came from ahead.

“If anything happens, tell me.”

Hearing that voice, Danica looked at Cassia’s back and felt an inexplicable sense of calm settle inside her.

“Okay.” Danica nodded and continued following behind her.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm hard.

Startled, Danica whipped around.

Brie!

“Danica? Don’t you have depression? Why are you at school? Who brought you here?”

Hearing Brie’s voice, Cassia turned around.

Brie’s voice was loud enough that people nearby began looking their way.

“Isn’t that Danica? I heard she was kidnapped and hospitalized.”

“Yeah, she was in the hospital for over half a month! No wonder we haven’t seen her.”

“What did Brie just say? Danica has depression?”

“No way. Is Brie exaggerating? Danica looks pretty normal to me.”

“You don’t believe Queen Brie? Remembe how lively Danica used to be? Now, she’s so quiet. And she doesn’t even dare get close to Brie anymore. Instead, she’s sticking to Cassia. That’s definitely not normal.”

None of it was kind.

Danica stared at Brie like she was looking at an enemy. She forcefully pulled her arm free from Brie’s grip, then quickly moved to Cassia’s side.

Brie looked at Danica in disbelief, then at Cassia.

She had heard from Vance and Victoria that Cassia had even brought Danica to live at Dunstino Bay.

Brie knew better than anyone how severe Danica’s condition had been.

Not long ago, she had been constantly threatening suicide–smashing her head into walls, swallowing sleeping pills—and it had been serious.

Sure, at home, she occasionally left her room and spoke a few words to her family. But how many days had it been? And she was already back at school?

Was her depression completely cured?

Brie didn’t believe it.

“Cassia, how could you bring Danica to school? Don’t you know how severe her depression is? Just a few days ago, she swallowed sleeping pills and had to get her stomach pumped at the hospital! By bringing her here, aren’t you hurting her?”

The surrounding students sucked in sharp breaths when they heard Brie shout that.

She swallowed sleeping pills and had to have her stomach pumped.
