Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 157

Adah spent quite some time soothing Vanessa, and only when her daughter had finally calmed down did she let herself relax.

Vanessa gave Adah a sweet smile, "Mom, I'm sorry. I've been so thoughtless. You're still recovering, yet you're here comforting me. You should go back to your room and rest."

Seeing her daughter's kindness, Adah felt a wave of comfort wash over her, melting away her earlier fatigue.

She gently patted Vanessa on the back and spoke softly, "Silly child, I'm fine. As long as you're doing well, that's all that matters to me."

Turning to Nathan, Adah's gaze grew serious. "Nathan, make sure you have enough people looking for Claire. She's our daughter, and no matter what she's done, we can't just abandon her."

Though reluctant, Nathan nodded, acknowledging her request.

After finishing her instructions, Adah took Vanessa by the hand and left the hospital room.

At the doorway, they encountered Sophia, who wore a kind smile.

Adah smiled back, her tone polite and warm, "Dean Shaw, it's good to see you."

Sophia returned the smile, "I just stopped by to check on Mr. Linwood, and it's nice to see you too, Mrs. Linwood."

"Mrs. Linwood, you look well. I trust you're recovering nicely."

Adah expressed her gratitude, "Thanks to your care, Dean Shaw, my injury is healing well."

Sophia responded with a touch of seriousness, "Even if you're healing well, you still need plenty of rest. Health is most important."

Vanessa immediately cuddled up to Adah, "Mom, you have to listen to the doctor's advice. Let's get you back to your room."

Adah nodded, allowing Vanessa to gently guide her back to the hospital room.

Sophia watched them leave, her eyes glinting with a sense of satisfaction.

Once they were out of sight, Sophia entered the room and locked the door behind her.
