Chapter 219 I Won’t Let My Fate Be Sealed
Fanny revealed a graceful smile.
She helped Scarlet to sit on the couch and asked, “Mom, how did it go? What did Angela say?”
Everyone knew that Scarlet went to the hospital today to ask Angela to save Zacharias.
Fanny was also very concerned about this matter and waited at home specifically for it.
Scarlet’s mood seemed off, prompting Fanny to inquire. “Mom, what’s wrong? Is everything not going well?:
It seemed like Scarlet had been crying.
Fanny suddenly had an ominous feeling in her heart.
Before she could ask, she heard Scarlet say gravely, “Fanny, I want to discuss something with you.”
Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this matter also involved her?
“What, what is it?” Fanny felt uneasy. She held Scarlet’s hand and comforted her softly, “Mom, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Christopher and I are trying to figure out ways to help Zacharias and Samuel. Even if Angela doesn’t help, we can still find a solution. It’s just that Christopher has been hospitalized recently, so he doesn’t have much energy.
She tried to remind Scarlet that no matter what, she was the future lady of the Sanders Family, so she shouldn’t hastily agree to any requests from the other side just because of a few words from Angela.
Scarlet still looked a little dazed. She gritted her teeth and seemed to have made up her mind. She looked at Fanny with a somewhat heartbroken look in her eyes and then slowly said, “Fanny, only Angela can cure Zacharias‘ illness now, so I went to beg her today.”
Fanny felt flustered and dared not make eye contact with Scarlet. She quickly said, “I understand.”
“She said she wants you to move your household registration out of the Kins Family and back to Mike’s family before she is willing to help save Zacharias.”
Fanny’s heart was suddenly in turmoil, and her voice quivered, “You agreed?”
“I…” Scarlet choked up. She had only given me one day to consider. I had no choice but to

agree.”
Fanny’s fingers trembled slightly, and a hint of reluctance and disappointment flashed in her eyes. “Mom, are you really going to make me leave the Kins Family?”
“Fanny, I’m also in a difficult position.” Scarlet lifted her head to look at Fanny. “But, right now, this is the only way to save Zacharias.”
Fanny’s eyes turned red, and she immediately hugged Scarlet, silently expressing all her reluctance.
She felt Scarlet gently stroking her hair and comforting her in a warm voice, “Fanny, don’t worry. It’s just a temporary measure to deceive Angela. Once she cures Zacharias, we will immediately move your household registration back. This is my promise to you.”
Fanny sobbed softly in Scarlet’s arms. “Mom, I can’t bear to leave you.”
That was what she said, but in a place where Scarlet couldn’t see, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she also became cold.
All the promises and love were fake.
Usually, they were all talk and no action, but when it came to a crucial moment, she was the one being abandoned.
Indeed, whether it was an adopted daughter or a biological daughter, they were not as important as Scarlet’s sons.
Scarlet sighed softly. “Fanny, there’s nothing we can do about this situation now. Joseph said. it himself: Zacharias is beyond help in the hospital. If Angela doesn’t intervene, he’s just waiting to die.”
Thinking about this, Scarlet felt a deep sense of sadness.
“Why is Angela behaving like this? Does she despise me?” Fanny’s voice was muffled and tinged with bitterness, making Scarlet feel even more uncomfortable.
Scarlet’s eyes turned cold, and she said with a hint of disdain in her tone, “That’s just her nature. Living in a small town for too long has made her narrow–minded. Whenever she has the opportunity, she will make things as difficult as possible for us. Even though she’s my

They’ll take care of you. Plus, we’ll move your household registration as she requested. If she still refuses to let you stay with the Kins Family, then she’s being unreasonable.”
