Chapter 987 Confession "Coming to see her after so long and making a scene as soon as you arrive, causing the patient to feel uneasy!" "Bringing the mistress who killed the Second Miss here to see the Young Miss, it's like they're afraid the Young Miss won't die fast or miserably enough... How can a father and grandmother be so ruthless and heartless?" Daphne suddenly stopped her yelling and struggling when she heard these whispered words.
Because she suddenly realized that what Leon said, that Hattie's condition was not good and that she would never have a granddaughter again... might be true.
Daphne's face turned pale in an instant.
The room was quiet to the point of deathly stillness.
Selena walked quietly to the bedside and looked at the little girl lying there with her eyes tightly closed and a lifeless expression, like a doll. Her heart ached a little.
She sat down by the bed and gently took Hattie into her arms with her delicate hands.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeon stood behind her, looking a bit tired between his eyebrows, and spoke lightly, "She hasn't said a word since she was sent back from that man two days ago..." Selena gently patted the child's tender shoulders, her eyes were extremely cold.
Two days ago, her own emotions were a mess and she was unable to comfort Hattie at all.
Thinking back now, when Hattie appeared outside the Turner family's gate and helped her block Daphne's slap, her emotions were already not right at that time.
Before that, the little girl must have gone through something.
Perhaps she came to the Turner family to seek comfort and encouragement from her, but she didn't expect that Daphne's slap would deepen her nightmare.
Selena closed her eyes slightly and opened them again a few seconds later.
She looked around this pink princess room with its warm and gorgeous decorations, which showed Leon's intention towards his sister, but there was no trace of tenderness.
Leon loved and protected her, but he had to manage the the Riddle's Company and his own parents... he couldn't always be with her.
Besides occasionally coming to see her, Hattie could only rely on herself.
Selena's expression turned cold again, but her tone was gentle, "Hattie, open your eyes and look at Selena, okay?" Hattie's eyelashes trembled, as if she wanted to open her eyes, but was dragged back by deeper nightmares.
Selena's voice became even softer, and she leaned close to the child's ear and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's all Selena'’s fault..." Hattie's long eyelashes trembled even more, with a greater degree of curvature.
Selena held Hattie tighter and spoke in a softer voice, "It was Selena who caused Hattie's mother's trouble, and also caused trouble for Hattie..." Selena lowered her head and looked at the face in her arms, which resembled her own. She gently brushed the child's trembling eyelashes with her delicate fingers, as if wiping away a nightmare.
Selena spoke in a tender voice that she had never used before, "Selena will avenge Hattie for you." "Hattie, you have to wake up and watch those murderers kneel before you and your mother, confessing and repenting!" Her delicate fingers touched a string of wet marks.
Selena moved her fingers away and saw that the tightly closed eyes had already opened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe little girl's dark, icy eyes were full of bloodshot veins, as if they might burst with blood.
"It wasn't Selena who caused my mother's death... it was them who killed her! It was them! It was them!" "I saw it... | saw it with my own eyes..." "My mother was lying there, bleeding so much, she kept calling for me, asking for help, but they... they..." As she finished speaking, the child seemed to be trapped in a terrible nightmare, and her eyes became extremely sharp and terrifying.
Leon suddenly closed his eyes.
As Hattie spoke intermittently, Selena's eyes became cold and terrifying.
She gently accompanied Hattie's trembling back and whispered, "They made Hattie's mother bleed so much, Selena will make them bleed even more!" "They made Hattie's mother suffer so much, Selena will make them suffer even more!" "Don't be afraid," Selena gently patted her, as if comforting a baby, her voice becoming extremely gentle, "Selena will never abandon you again." "Selena will protect Hattie, care for her, watch her grow up to become more and more beautiful and cute..." "Hattie is different to Selena.” "Selena hopes that Hattie can survive!" "Just like Phoebe, no matter what you experience, you have to keep living!" "Sleep now, Selena will always be by your side until Hattie wakes up, so don't be afraid..." As Hattie listened to Selena’s gentle voice, her body, which had been tense to the extreme, slowly relaxed. After struggling with her nerves for a long time, she finally found relief and leaned against Selena's arms, as if she had found the warmest shelter and finally became completely calm.
This time, Hattie really fell asleep. Selena gently patted her for a while to make sure she was sound asleep, then turned around and looked at Leia. Leia approached with red eyes and carefully took Hattie from Selena's arms. Selena took a small blanket from the bed and covered Hattie with it. Then she turned and looked at Leon. "I'm taking Hattie with me," she said.
Previously, Selena thought that the Riddle family's affairs had nothing to do with her, so she let the little girl return to the capital alone. But with the revelation of Lady Nevaeh's death, everything that Hattie had experienced was caused by Nevaeh's entanglement. So this child became her responsibility.
Leon stared at Selena's eyes. "Lady Selena, do you know who killed my aunt?" Selena smiled, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes. "Thank you for asking on behalf of the Grand Lady, but | don't think | need to see her." Not needing to see her meant that she had already confirmed something! Leon's heart sank suddenly as he looked at Selena's cold expression and couldn't find the words to say.
What could he say? From any perspective, there was no sentiment between the Riddle family and Selena.
Selena took a step towards the door, and Leia followed her with Hattie in her arms. Just as Selena was about to walk out the door, Leon suddenly spoke up. "Lady Selena.” Selena stopped in her tracks. "What does Mr. Riddle want to say?" Leon looked at her cold and determined back. "Will you let Hattie return to the Riddle family?" The question was ironic. Hattie was the bloodline of the Riddle family. But now Mr. Riddle was asking whether the unrecognized granddaughter and Miss Riddle of the Riddle family would return to the Riddle family.
Selena laughed when she heard the question, but her eyes were devoid of warmth. "Hattie won't have a chance to return to the Riddle family until all the demons in the Riddle family are completely cleared out.” Leon's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. This meant that even if Daphne wanted to repent, she would no longer have the chance...
