Chapter 329 329: How are you sure he is the one

"Mom?"

Ella looked at Mischelle skeptically. Her reaction was abrupt and perplexing.

Mischelle, on the other hand, realized her mistake. She reacted impulsively.

"That parcel was intended for me," she said. So I must be the one that opens it," she stated.

Ella narrowed her eyes, attempting to understand her mother's reaction. "But I was not going to open it," she replied, leaving Mischelle embarrassed.

Michelle's pulse raced wildly as she saw Ella clutch the envelope. She couldn't believe the person who came to see them earlier had left something for them.

"Mom, is everything okay? The guard said you refused to see the person, but now you want to view the envelope. Why so? I hope you aren't hiding anything from me," she asked.

Michelle's behavior has been unusual since becoming ill, and Ella was perplexed by her reluctance to discuss her difficulties.

When Michelle was unable to reply, Ella ended the discussion.

"I won't pursue the matter further, but if you know the visitor, you should have met them. It's disrespectful to leave them unattended." Ella softly spoke before passing the envelope to her mother.

"Also, there's nothing wrong with being cautious," she said before entering her room.

Mischelle stood there, clutching the envelope in her palm, her gaze fixed on the door.

'This can't keep going. I need to find a solution to this persistent worry,' she reminded herself before returning to the kitchen.
