Chapter 543 A Suspicious Medicinal Aroma
“I understand. I’m happy that Sevie is back, too.”
Naomi flashed a perfect smile. “The family reunion banquet is tomorrow. Grandpa must not know you’ve returned, otherwise he would have sent you an invitation.”
Winnie tapped her forehead, her emerald ring’s gleam catching the light. “The Quinnells did send me a
letter. But I just returned home and haven’t had the chance to open it yet. I thought it was Shane that-”
Winnie cleared her throat. “I’ll look for it again when I get back.”
“You’re still holding a grudge against my dad,” Naomi remarked. “It’s been hard for him too, and it’s all
because of me. No one really understands him.”
Winnie clearly didn’t want to talk about Shane. “I just envy anyone who captures Marie’s heart.”
Naomi chuckled softly. Lowering her gaze, she appeared concerned. “Winnie, there’s something I’m not

sure if I should mention.”
“You can tell me anything,” Winnie said as she smoothed out Naomi’s hair.
Naomi bit her lips. “I’m afraid I might sound like I’m stirring up trouble. I’m just worried Sevie’s return is going to affect Mom’s condition.
“While she was getting treated abroad, the doctors advised against anything that might upset her for the
time being. Anything related to the past could trigger her painful memories.
“Logically speaking, Mom should get better with Sevie’s return.”
Naomi paused before shaking her head. “But the doctors told me it’s been too long, so it’s hard to say.
They’re worried it might cause further harm. After all, we have no idea how much Sevie has changed.”
Naomi was searching Winnie’s expression as she talked, and evidently, Winnie didn’t believe her fully.
However, she had planted the seeds of doubt and just had to wait for them to sprout.
“Winnie, it’ll be great if you could attend the banquet tomorrow and look out for us.” Naomi put on an
aggrieved smile.” Grandpa probably didn’t invite me because of my identity. My appearance will upset him.
“Fortunately, Mom won’t be attending, either. I’m really worried the situation will repeat itself with her
there.”
Her words resonated with Winnie on a personal level. After Marie’s incident back then, their entire social
circle was shaken.
