Chapter 1255

Carissa asked a few more questions to piece the whole situation together.

Roxana’s parents, Anna and George, wanted to provide money for their third son’s wedding. Thus, they decided to venture into the old forest while the wild beasts were hibernating for the winter. Most of the best medicinal herbs grew on the steepest mountainsides, and that was where they had gone.

However, after several days of trekking up the mountain, both of them were cold, hungry, and exhausted. In a tragic turn of events, Anna slipped on the icy ground, and George reached out to grab her. As a result, the two of them tumbled down the slope together.

If it hadn’t been for some herb collectors passing by, they would have surely perished on that mountain. Though they had been lucky enough to survive, their injuries were severe. Anna had injured her back, and George had broken his leg. Neither would ever be able to work again, and they would require constant care. With their injuries still needing treatment, they would also need money for further medical expenses.

Meanwhile, their third son’s marriage was fast approaching, and the girl who had once spoken about unity now found herself a victim of circumstance.

“Do her parents know?” Carissa asked.

“They don’t,” Cynthia replied. “Her parents weren’t even living in a brick house–they’ve been carried back to their old, dilapidated home to recover.”

“And does everyone else agree to sell her?” Carissa pressed.

“I don’t know, but her eldest brother already made the arrangements. Five silver coins. The man who wanted to buy her was already at their door. Luckily, I got there first and took her away by force.”
