Chapter 166 Meeting Cursemaster

Finished

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp voice rang out from the other end of the line, “Hansel, do you no longer care for me? I knew it! That enchantress has beguiled you, turning you against your own sister. Have you no heart, Hansel? Do you not know who your true sister is?”

“Hannah!” Hansel’s voice was firm and unyielding. She is also your sister.”

This declaration was like a spark igniting Hannah’s fury entirely. “No! I have no sister! The Lloyds have only one daughter, Ms. Burnett, and that is me. Where did this illegitimate child come from, to be called my sister? She is unworthy!”

A sudden crash followed, the unmistakable sound of something fragile shattering against the floor. Hansel sighed deeply, a profound sense of helplessness washing over him.

He was eight years Hannah’s senior and had practically raised her. In her younger days, she had been endearing and sensible, her constant smiles a source of joy and ease. However, her temperament had gradually deteriorated. She began to break things, bite, and became increasingly volatile, at times even harming herself. A hospital visit had eventually led to a diagnosis of intermittent explosive disorder.

Fortunately, the disorder was discovered early enough to be managed with medication. Yet, Hannah refused to take her medication, believing it to contain hormones that would affect her figure and skin. She would secretly dispose of it or falsely claim to have taken it, resulting in her emotions becoming almost uncontrollable.

Reflecting on this, Hansel sighed once more. He blamed himself for being too absorbed in his work, neglecting Hannah’s needs and contributing to her current state. The responsibility weighed heavily upon

him.

Hannah’s voice was strained, each word forced through clenched teeth, “It’s Milly Burnett! I want her
