Chapter 705 Just a Decoration? Leon glanced at the number and answered the call as a dark light flashed in his eyes.
An anxious voice cfrom the other end, "Leon, you need to cback quickly. Your younger brother just had a seizure, and his condition is very critical..." Leon couldn't help but chuckle.
Suddenly, he understood the meaning behind Selena's request to make this call.
He wondered why that woman, who hated the Riddle family so much, would suddenly take the initiative to deal with them.
"Grandma!" Leon interrupted the other person's chatter, his voice cold. "Do you know what happened to Hattie? If | don't go see her now, then you can forget about having a granddaughter in the future. Do you and Uncle David want to cwith me?" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, and a hint of worry appeared. "What happened to Hattie?" Leon leaned against the car door and looked at his watch. "She's probably injured..." The voice on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief. "Then go back and see your younger brother first. You know he's not well, and he could..." "When you're sure he's okay, I'll go with you and Uncle David to pick her up,” the voice continued. "That child has been angry with us and refuses to go home. She must have gone through a lot since she left. Didn't you say she might cback in a few days? How could something happen to her?" As Leon listened to these words, his assistant behind him couldn't help but furrow his brow.
Did this old lady really not understand what it meant to lose this opportunity? Leon didn't know how to feel about these words. Suddenly, he asked, "Grandma, do you remember my aunt Nevaeh?" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly froze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was no sound for a long time.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Leon's eyes, but his tone was gentle. "She's dead, and her daughter is dead to us as well. Perhaps in Hattie's heart, other thanas her brother, everyone else in the Riddle family is..." He didn't finish his sentence and hung up the phone, turning off his phone as he did so.
Leon got in the car, his eyes cold, and ordered in a cold voice, "Go to the airport!" In the hotel box.
Leia placed Hattie on the sofa, and Selena held her gently, soothing her with a soft voice. Her eyes were almost uncontrollably filled with rage.
She had finally built up Hattie's confidence again, and now it was destroyed by Leah! That woman...
Damn it! Selena felt the child trembling in her arms and spoke softly, "It's okay, Hattie. Estrella won't blyou. You did well. If it wasn't for you, Estrella might have been bullied even more..." Although Selena didn't know exactly what had happened, she could guess roughly.
Hattie sobbed softly like kitten and looked up at Selena with trembling eyes. "Selena, it's my fault. | shouldn't have hit them. If | hadn't hit them..." They wouldn't have had a reason to detain her, and Estrella wouldn't have been beaten.
"I know it's not your fault," Selena looked at her dark, hollow eyes and felt a twinge in her heart. She spoke softly, "They bullied you first, and that's why you hit them. They're all a bunch of scumbags. Even if Hattie didn't hit them, they would find other excuses..." "Bad people do bad things, and there are always countless reasons. you shouldn't blyourself for their mistakes." Selena's gaze turned cold as she held Hattie's face and stared into her eyes. She spoke coldly, "If anyone's to blame, it's my fault. They only targeted Estrella because of me." "Leah can't do anything to me, so she deliberately said those things to you. She wanted to make you suffer, feel guilty, and destroy your faith to makefeel guilty and sad... It's all that woman's fault. She deserves to die!" Hattie's hollow eyes flickered, and she immediately shook her head. "It's not your fault, it's not..." "So it's not your fault either,” Selena soothed her gently, her eyes flashing with cold light. "It's Leah's fault, it's those bad people outside, it's the fault of the woman who killed your mother! It's all those bad people's fault, you did nothing wrong!" Hattie shrugged her shoulders.
Selena subconsciously patted her, and then she keenly sensed that when her hand touched Hattie's shoulder, the child visibly flinched.
Selena's gaze suddenly turned cold. She gently removed Hattie's shoulder and saw the large, bright red bruises on her fair skin.
A flash of blood red passed through her eyes.
Leia, standing aside, had a cold expression on her face and turned around to leave. "I'm going to kill that woman!" "Cback!" Selena whispered, stopping her.
Leia stamped her foot in anger. "Madam!" Selena stood up and patted her shoulder. "Apply medicine to Hattie." She wasn't good at applying medicine, and she might hurt Hattie, so Leia was more suitable than her.
Leia suppressed her anger and took out the ointment from her bag to apply it to Hattie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelena watched for a while and heard a knock on the door. She turned around and went to open it.
Hattie's psychologist had arrived.
Selena looked at the doctor and said softly, "Thank you, Dr. Wilkinson." The doctor understood Selena's meaning instantly and nodded, "I understand, Lady Selena.” After the doctor went in, Selena walked to the side and made a phone call.
The other side answered quickly, apparently waiting for the call.
Selena lowered her voice and asked, "Has Leon arrived?" Luke listened to her voice and felt intimidated. "He just got on the plane.” There was no extra emotion in Selena's eyes as she continued to ask, "Did anyone from the Riddle family cwith him?" Luke remained silent for a moment before saying, "Hattie's half-brother, who was born prematurely and has been in poor health with congenital heart disease, had an attack just now..." A hint of sarcasm crossed Selena's lips. "l see." After she finished speaking, she was about to hang up the phone, but Luke spoke up and asked, "Lady Selena, you are the lady of the Anderson family. When you do things, you can think about your husband. He really doesn't mind supporting you!" Selena informed everyone about Hattie's matter, except she didn't call Osvaldo.
He was definitely sulking at the moment.
It made Luke want to punch Selena.
Selena hesitated for a moment, "No, | haven't for the tbeing..." Things that require Osvaldo's help.
She really thought so.
But in the eyes of others, this behavior seems like she is deliberately ignoring her husband.
Selena laughed and said softly, "Really, | haven't. | think @ man like him must be very busy and only deal with important matters. | can handle Hattie's matter on my own..." "Then, Lady Selena, if you can handle everything yourself, what use is your husband? Just a decorative vase?"
