When Her Heart Ch 56

Chapter 56 The Birthday Party Of Harriet

Why am I not wearing the hospital doten anymore!!!

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Percival quickly clarified, “The housekeeper was the one who changed your clothes. However, I saw many injuries on your body. As a doctor, I don’t see gender, so don’t worry too much”

Kaylee let out a wry laugh. What am I even worried about! I’ho toould even be interested in my battered body?

She shook her head and said. That’s not what I meant, but thank you nonetheless. By the way, where are we? Didn’t you take me to the hospital?”

“I was afraid that the Goodridge family and Casimir might find out if you’re admitted, so I brought you to my place.” Percival’s expression suddenly turned serious.

“You mentioned that the Goodridge family admitted you to the psychiatric hospital. What exactly happened? What grudge could they possibly hold against you to treat you like this?”

“The psychiatrist at the psychiatric hospital said it was Samuel who admitted me, so it shouldn’t be a lie.” Raylee’s eyes were dead as she murmured, “I also don’t know why he did that. I’ve been in jail for four years. Isn’t that enough? Does he want me dead to feel satisfied? I’m a human, too. We were siblings for eighteen years, yet he treats me worse than an animal.”

The rims of her eyes grew increasingly red, her long lashes trembling. She looked sorrowful and forsaken, like a little fairy who lost her way in the mortal world.

Her words and her trying to force back her tears suffocated Percival.

In truth, he had somewhat surmised that Raylee’s imprisonment wasn’t simple.

Based on Casimir’s behavior, it was clear that he had been trying to make amends to his former fiancée ever since her release from prison. The reasons were simple–either he still had lingering feelings for her, or there was more to her imprisonment.

An indescribable sensation welled up within him as if something had struck him right in the heart.

A a doctor, he shouldn’t empathize with others too much.

However, Raylee was an exception. He had witnessed the gruesome wounds on her body, understanding the extent of torment she must have endured to bear such scars.

That night, when he lifted her in his arms, her frail body felt just like a broken porcelain doll.

She lived in agony yet also persevered, much like a resilient and unyielding blade of grass.

The experiences and hardships she had gone through were truly heart–wrenching.

The night was slightly chilly, and the heat in the house wasn’t warm enough.

Percival offered her a coat to drape over herself.

“If you want to, you can stay here to recover from your wounds. You can even stay for a lifetime. This place can be your sanctuary.”
