Chapter 247 I Want To See You Every Day

A brief, tense silence hung in the air.

"Uncle Zachary! I'm here!"

A high, innocent voice broke through the stillness.

With a sudden pop, the door swung open, and Harrietta burst into the room, her small form bouncing with energy.

She paused immediately upon seeing the others gathered in the hospital room, her big eyes blinking in surprise as she looked at Susanna. "Hello?"

Susanna turned, her face haggard, her once beautiful features now starkly emphasized by prominent cheekbones and sunken eyes.

She stared back at Harrietta with such a harsh expression that the little girl shrank away, quickly hiding herself in Zachary's arms. In a small, trembling voice, she whispered, "Uncle Zachary, I'm scared."

Wrapping his arms around Harrietta, Zachary instinctively shielded her. He also made a subtle move, discreetly tucking the photograph off the table and out of sight. He lifted his eyes to meet Susanna's gaze, and his voice was firm yet calm, "You should leave now. Elijah's

Susanna glanced once more at Harrietta before turning to the door, but as she stepped forward, she bumped directly into Lenora, who had just entered the room.

Susanna's eyes instantly narrowed, taking in Lenora's serene beauty-the delicate but flawlessly blended makeup, the soft foundation that concealed any hint of scars. Her oval face was striking and smooth, unmarred by time or turmoil.

Lenora was dressed impeccably, her camel-colored coat offset by a light scarf, her plaid skirt skimming mid-thigh, and stylish black ankle boots completing her look. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, a vision of refined elegance. Susanna's gaze lingered, a spark of disdain flickering as she noticed that Lenora bore little resemblance to Kenneth. Instead, she saw in her the vixen-like allure she attributed to her mother.

Lenora took a second to assess the disheveled figure standing before her, recognizing Susanna-the same woman responsible for Gerald's death.

Her brows furrowed slightly as a flash of anger crossed her face, then faded into confusion.

How did she end up like this? Isn't she supposed to be under Zachary's protection?

Their eyes met, and in Lenora's cool gaze, Susanna saw a flicker of distaste. The sudden awareness of her own disheveled appearance flared up in her mind.

She clenched her fists, her expression hardening with suppressed fury, and as she strode past Lenora, she deliberately bumped her shoulder. Without looking back, Susanna exited, her eyes ablaze with
