Chapter 466 Why Are You Here?

+8 Pearls

In the attic, Mrs. Laurel sat in front of the woman called Virginia, her face etched with sorrow. Tears filled her eyes as she sighed deeply. “Virginia, we’re all so unlucky. Alan and Peter are both still in the hospital, and now you’ve ended up like this, leaving me, an old woman, to face that demon alone.”

Her voice trembled as she continued, “I’m getting too old for this. I don’t have the strength to handle everything anymore, It feels like all the family’s resources and industries are slipping into that demon’s grasp. What am I supposed to do…”

Virginia sat silently, clutching a doll tightly in her hands, her eyes vacant and unresponsive.

Mrs. Laurel wiped her tears and made an effort to stand, but her knees, still sore from the earlier fall, caused her to struggle slightly.

She winced but pushed through the pain as she slowly rose to her feet.
