"It’s the truth," she said.
Granny Taylor finally smiled, but her eyes were filled with tears, "Good child... you are a good child. It’s only now that I’ve realized, the older one gets, the more fearful they become."
Year after year, she didn’t dare to face the mistakes of the past, nor did she dare to reveal anything to her eldest son, fearing she wouldn’t meet a good end.
Ultimately, she was selfish, selfishly afraid to confess to her son the mistakes of the past. Afraid to admit she had personally driven to death the woman her son loved most, leaving his only flesh and blood adrift.
Edward’s current isolation is no less than a punishment for her.
Granny Taylor seemed to suddenly fall into memories, starting to say some incoherent words.
Mabel Quinn quickly called for the doctor, who administered a sedative to Granny Taylor, allowing her to finally sleep.
Taking the opportunity, Alessia Quinn said, "Mabel Quinn, what did you say to my granny, that made her start talking nonsense?"
Alessia’s father, Christopher Quinn, also said, "Mabel, your grand-aunt is seriously ill and hospitalized, as a younger person, you should be careful with your words. How could you be so reckless? If anything happens to your grand-aunt, can you bear the responsibility? I think you shouldn’t visit the hospital in the future!"
For a moment, Mabel Quinn became the target of criticism, but Edward Quinn spoke up, "Alright, Mabel isn’t an inconsiderate child, and besides, Mom’s illness was already severe and unstable, don’t just assign blame randomly."
"Brother, this child upset Mom to the point of nonsense, how can you still defend her?" Christopher Quinn complained. For origınal chapters go to nοvelfire.net
The more his brother and mother valued this child, the more uncomfortable he felt. Clearly, his daughter should be the little princess of the Quinn family, so how come an outsider now seemed more like the Quinn family princess?
"When Mom wakes up, ask her yourself, won’t you? Don’t hastily blame without knowing the truth, it lacks the demeanor of an elder!" Edward Quinn said with a slight frown, already showing faint signs of anger.
At this, Christopher Quinn dared not say anything further.
Edward Quinn addressed Mabel Quinn, "Visit your grand-aunt when you have the time, she’ll be happy to see you."
As Mabel Quinn took the elevator to the first floor of the inpatient department, ready to leave, her footsteps suddenly halted as she reached the exit. A figure stood there prominently.
And when the person saw her, they suddenly walked straight towards her.
It was Daniel Harris! Had he been waiting here... for her?!
Mabel Quinn was slightly startled, and as Daniel Harris came within two or three steps of Mabel, he was stopped by the bodyguards following her.
From behind the two bodyguards, Daniel Harris’s gaze was almost greedily fixed on Mabel Quinn, "Are... you okay..." After a while, these three words finally emerged from his throat.
Mabel Quinn slightly pressed her lips together, her gaze calmly on Daniel Harris. The man in front of her looked even more haggard and thin than the last time she had seen him, his pale complexion giving an almost transparent impression.
"I’m fine," she said, her voice calm.
Daniel Harris gave a bitter smile, "Yes, you’re fine, you should be fine..."
"Mr. Harris, the past is the past, there’s no need to dwell on things that have already happened. Health is personal—if you don’t care about your own body and health, others won’t care either," Mabel Quinn said.
