After the family doctor examined Quinlyn, he said that she was merely exhausted.

However, he frowned at the various bruises on her hands and feet and stated, “Though these cuts may seem minor, they can casily leave marks, and for a girl, that would be quite unsightly.”

Edward’s face flushed with embarrassment as he felt like a child abuser.

Curtis also noticed the cuts; some of the wounds were quite deep and had started to ooze blood.

Yet, throughout the ordeal, not only did Quinlyn refrain from crying out in pain, but she also appeared entirely unfazed, casually washing her hands before going back to her meal. As a result, everyone overlooked the situation.

After the doctor left, Curtis turned to Edward, his brows furrowed. “What exactly is the background of this child? You mentioned she lived in the backwaters before, but surely the backwaters don’t produce such agility and strength.”

It was enough to fool Danny and Leonard, but Curtis was not one to be misled by even the smallest detail.

Edward was just as surprised by Quinlyn’s amazing skills, which overshadowed Curtis. After a moment of silence, he glanced at Stanley.

Stanley shrugged in resignation. “You can speak your mind; I already knew she was not Hailey.”

Upon hearing this, Edward sighed softly. “True, your parents could hardly have raised such an exceptional child.”

Stanley thought to himself, ‘Hey, I feel insulted.’

Then, Edward explained Quinlyn’s origins, adding, “As for what happened in the borderlands, I’m not sure. But it stands to reason that her situation was hardly ideal.”

In the early days after her arrival, the servants mentioned seeing Quinlyn covered in scars.

“Yeah, the borderlands are really hard to investigate, but I’ll get to the bottom of it.” Curtis nodded, showing no intention of backing down.
