Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 742

Julian noticed the flicker of emotion in her eyes but couldn’t decipher its source. After a moment’s thought, he gave up and said nothing, letting the matter drop.

“Are you still going to perform the acupuncture?” Julian asked her.

Madeline snapped back to the present and glanced at Alianna, who was still pretending to be unconscious. She smiled. “Of course. I’m going to see this through. It wouldn’t be right to stop halfway.”

Jane tried to intervene, but a cold glare from Julian made her cautiously retract her outstretched hand.

Lying on the sofa, Alianna heard everything clearly. Her entire body was tense, and it was taking all her willpower not to give herself away.

But if that woman stuck ten needles in her fingers, they’d be ruined.

That vicious witch.

Alianna cursed Madeline a thousand times in her head.

Madeline took out a new silver needle that glinted coldly and grabbed Alianna’s hand. “Well then, let’s continue the treatment. We can’t have Alianna unconscious for too long. It could be dangerous.”

Just as Madeline was about to press the needle into Alianna’s fingertip, Alianna’s fear got the better of her, and she yanked her hand back.

She moved so fast that even Ray was stunned.

Madeline simply smiled at the withdrawn hand.

“Alianna?” Jane rushed over and hugged her.

Alianna’s eyes reddened. “Mom…”

“Alianna, how are you feeling? Does your body still hurt?” Jane shot her a meaningful look.

Ray looked at Shelly, knowing she was in a foul mood. Staying any longer would only upset her more, so he decided it was best to leave for now.

Jane helped Alianna up. The two of them gave Shelly and Madeline a resentful look before hurrying after Ray.

Once outside, the air around Ray turned chillingly cold, so much so that Jane and Alianna didn’t dare get too close.

Not only had they failed their objective for the night, but they had also been made fools of, and both were seething with anger.

“Mom, what do we do now?” Alianna asked in a furious whisper. “We’re not really going to leave Dad, are we? I don’t want to.”

They had depended on Ray for so long that they had no idea how to survive without him.

Besides, after getting used to a life of luxury, who would want to go back to being poor?
