Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 893

Edmund was standing right in front of her.

His head, arms, and legs were encased in thick plaster casts.

His face was also covered in bruises, just like what she had witnessed at the hospital.

"Wendy, are you looking for her?" he asked with a seductive smile.

As he spoke, a little girl appeared by his side.

She was the same one who had called Wendy "Mommy" earlier.

The girl stood close to Edmund, her tiny hands tightly gripping his.

She peeked at Wendy with a shy gaze.

"Mommy," she called out again.

Wendy couldn't muster a response.

Edmund led the little girl closer and said, "Wendy, look at her. She's our daughter."

Wendy greedily gazed at the girl, her eyes fixed on her without wavering.

"Isn't she adorable?" Edmund asked.

Wendy nodded unconsciously.

He smiled. "I think so too, but unfortunately—"

The little girl vanished again as he smiled.

This sudden disappearance alarmed Wendy. She hastily asked, "Where's my daughter? Where did she go?"

"She's dead!" Edmund's expression turned sinister. "She was killed by Kevan, Wendy! You must remember this—Kevan killed her!"

"Kevan?" She tilted her head, contemplating carefully.

Indeed, there seemed to be something like that.

The moment she fell, she saw a panicked look on Kevan's face as he reached his hand out to her.

"It has nothing to do with Kevan. I accidentally fell. He tried to save me, but it was too late," she earnestly told Edmund.

"No, it's Kevan! Did you forget, Wendy? The reason we ended up like this is all thanks to Kevan and Larissa! Look at me!" He grew angrier and pointed at himself. "All these injuries are from Kevan! He wanted to send me to jail! He wanted me dead!"

She sensed someone was beside her. She turned and saw Larissa looking at her with a worried expression.

Her lips trembled. After a long while, she finally managed to speak, "Is it really you, Lari?"

She thought she might still be dreaming.

The mist in front of her eyes condensed into tears, streaming down her cheeks.

Larissa's figure became hazy and unclear. Wendy reached out in distress, calling, "Lari?"

Larissa gripped her hand, her voice hoarse as she reassured, "I'm here, Wendy, don't worry."

"Lari!" Wendy sobbed, her sadness deepening. "I'm sorry! I was wrong! I shouldn't have said those hurtful things to you! I should have believed in you! I'm such a fool!"

Larissa had considered a thousand possible reactions from Wendy when she woke up—she hadn't dared to hope for this one.

So, she was a bit overwhelmed at first. However, Wendy's emotions quickly infected her, and both of them ended up crying uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry too! I shouldn't have kept those things from you! If I had warned you earlier, you wouldn't have been in this state now! Wendy, can you forgive me?"

"You must forgive me first, Lari!"
