Chapter 448 Chapter 448 You've Never Truly Cared for Me as Your Granddaughter

For a moment, Melody felt a wave of disorientation.

Arnold's familiar, concerned voice for Suzanna echoed in her ears, and she couldn't help but reflect. So, people could wear such vastly different faces.

Melody raised a hand to her forehead, steadying herself as her resolve solidified even further.

When Arnold stepped forward, extending a frail hand for her to hold, Melody didn't hesitate-she swatted it away with force.

"Arnold, ask yourself honestly-do you truly care about me?

"If you do, then tell me! Where were you all these years when I was being wronged?

"I know that you were ill and living in a rehabilitation center. I won't deny that.

"But being ill isn't the same as being dead. When I was forced to marry into the Moore family as
