Chapter 1078
It was Hannah who finally spoke up, saying there was no need to keep searching. Since the Whitley family denied
Karen's existence, she would be a new person, with no ties to them
anymore.
Though Carissa and Violet felt that the Whitley family was heartless, they couldn’t deny that Hannah's words
made sense. There was no use in continuing to pursue the matter-it wouldn't change anything.
Getting revenge, even just to vent, wouldn't solve the problem. What mattered now was getting Karen to live, to
give up on the idea of ending her life, and to speak out about the person who had wronged her.
Zoey had already promised to help with counseling, and now seemed like the right tto step in.
She brought in a bowl of millet porridge and glanced at the pale and listless girl lying on the bed. She looked so
exhausted yet still so beautiful, with her pale face barely hiding her
beauty.
Zoey entered without saying anything. She simply took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the young woman's
face and her hands, and then stroked her hair.
It was Karen herself who shifted and pulled away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Dirty,” she murmured-her first words since coming to Skye Embroidery.
She disliked herself for being dirty.
Zoey took her hand, her voice soft and comforting. “You're not dirty, my dear.”
Karen remained unmoved, her expression still blank.
Zoey sat with her for a while before gently offering the millet porridge, speaking to her like one would to a child.
“Con, have a sip.’
Karen didn’t open her mouth, but her lips twitched slightly.
“Open up,” Zoey coaxed, bringing the spoon to her lips. “Just one bite.”
Karen still didn’t open her mouth. She didn’t even dare to look at Zoey, avoiding her gaze as if afraid her
dirtiness would taint the elegant lady.
Zoey sighed. “I know you don’t want to live anymore, so | put arsenic in the millet porridge. If you want relief,
just drink it. Afterward, tellwho harmed you, and we’ll make sure they pay for what they've done. You can go
in peace.”
At the mention of arsenic, Karen's eyes slowly focused. Her body trembled as she mustered enough strength to
sit up, and she reached out with shaky hands to take the bowl. Without

hesitation, she drank it down in large, desperate pulps.
The bowl of thin porridge was quickly emptied
Zoey took the bowl and set it down, using a handkerchief to wipe Karen's mouth.
“The arsenic is potent. In about an hour, the polson will take effect. Tellwho did this to you, and we'll make
sure they pay for it.”
Karen was a naive girl, and she didn’t question Zoey’s words. She truly believed the millet porridge contained
arsenic and that she could finally be free. She lay back down, tears slipping down her cheeks, “If I'm going to die
anyway, then letdie like this. No need to seek revenge,”
Zoey was taken aback. Didn't Karen hate the person who ruined her life? Or was it that she didn’t trust the
people in Skye Embroidery?
“I don’t want a proper burial. Just throwinto the mass grave,” Karen muttered, wiping away her tears. Her
eyes were still empty, just as they had been before.
Zoey sighed softly. “Silly girl, how could we let you die? Everyone is hoping you will live. There's no arsenic in the
porridge. We just wanted to help you get revenge and to give you the strength to live on.”
Karen closed her eyes, tears rolling down again as she sobbed uncontrollably. “Why can’t you just letdie? |
don’t want to live anymore.”
Zoey sat beside her, letting her cry and offering no comfort.
Later, Carissa arrived and instructed Alana to watch over Karen. Zoey stepped outside to speak with Carissa,
“Her situation might be more complicated than we thought,” Zoey said, explaining how she had tricked Karen
into drinking the millet porridge. “Logically, she should hate that person more than anyone, but she’d rather die
than reveal who it was. Even if she doesn’t know the person’s identity, she could at least explain what happened
and where it took place. With those details, we could investigate.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Maybe she doesn’t want to remember? For her, this event is catastrophic. It's understandable if she can’t bring
herself to talk about it,” Leona said.
Carissa nodded thoughtfully. “It’s possible, but there could be more to it.
Carissa was the one who had saved Karen, pulling her off the bridge that day. When she asked who her family
was so she could return her, Karen had screamed, “I have no family! I'd rather die than go back! I'd rather die
away from them!”
Later, they found out that the Whitley family had abandoned Karen because they thought she was impure and
wanted her to poison herself. Hence, they thought Karen was angry at her family.

But Karen had always wanted to die, so wouldn't taking poison give her exactly what she wanted? Why did she
listen to her mom and run away?
“Maybe we should ask her mom when we get the chance,” Carissa said, looking up. mom clearly wanted her to
live. Maybe she knows more.”
