The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 200

Milton was feeling upset as well. However, Dorothy had only just recovered, so he evidently couldn't let her get too worked up and subsequently cause her condition to worsen.

"She was still young back then, yet she suffered such a huge blow," he said hurriedly in comfort. "Furthermore, Rowena was kicking up a fuss about it in front of her, so it's only normal that she would worry." His words made Dorothy feel even more hatred toward Rowena.

"I say, how can that damn old lady say all that nonsense in front of such a young child?" she complained.

Milton couldn't wrap his head around it either, replying, "It just proves she's a terrible person!"

"Exactly!" said Dorothy, gritting her teeth. "Once I've recovered, I'm definitely going over to her house to give her a good scolding and exact justice for our dear Willow!"

Milton chimed in agreeably, "Alright!"

After returning to the office, I turned on my computer. Remembering that Zane wanted to have a plush toy custom-made in the image of Penelope to aid in Willow's recovery, I decided to forego drawing my comics in favor of sitting on the couch and carefully recalling Penelope's appearance.

Once I had an idea of how the plush toy would look, I focused on drawing the lineart for it. After the lineart came coloring, and very soon, the drawing was done. I saved the image, promptly sent it to Zane, and then walked over to him.
