Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 227: Allisons tone was sharp, cutting through the tension like a knife.

But it was the truth.

Mr.

Lloyd, if you think simply taking care of Lorna for the rest of her life is enough, then why even bother treating her autism? Wouldnt it be simpler to let her remain a lifeless doll? No one wanted to see their loved ones suffer, and that much was clear.

Allison held his gaze, her voice steady and unwavering.

Maybe, deep down, you want Lorna to live a normal life too.

To talk to others her age, to overcome her trauma instead of retreating into her own world.

Her words were brutally honestothers might have hesitated to speak so plainly to him, but Allison wasnt afraid to pry open a part of Kellans heart he had long kept hidden.

Yes, I want her to get better, he murmured, his voice tight with emotion.

But I dont want her to be put in harms way.

Allisons response was swift, unflinching.

Can you guarantee shell never face danger for the rest of her life, Mr.

Lloyd? Kellan knew he couldnt.

Hed be lying to himself if he thought otherwise.

Especially after he was gone, Lorna would be left alone, more vulnerable than ever.

Allisons eyes remained steady, her gaze unblinking.
