Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 157

Adah spent quite some time soothing Vanessa, and only when her daughter had finally calmed down did she let herself relax.

Vanessa gave Adah a sweet smile, "Mom, I'm sorry. I've been so thoughtless. You're still recovering, yet you're here comforting me. You should go back to your room and rest."

Seeing her daughter's kindness, Adah felt a wave of comfort wash over her, melting away her earlier fatigue.

She gently patted Vanessa on the back and spoke softly, "Silly child, I'm fine. As long as you're doing well, that's all that matters to me."

Turning to Nathan, Adah's gaze grew serious. "Nathan, make sure you have enough people looking for Claire. She's our daughter, and no matter what she's done, we can't just abandon her."

Though reluctant, Nathan nodded, acknowledging her request.

After finishing her instructions, Adah took Vanessa by the hand and left the hospital room.

At the doorway, they encountered Sophia, who wore a kind smile.
