Since receiving the Alpha Wyvern's attack that night, Liam had felt a change in his body. Something vague, but it was really there.
First of all, it made it easier for him to wake up. His body didn't feel too tired after sleeping, and his joints didn't hurt too much when he moved. He still vomited blood several times a day, but he felt that this time it was not only blood he was vomiting but a similar disgusting red liquid.
Today, Liam accompanied Harriet to meet her mother. Heath and Miriam would also come along, and they would meet Eoin together before actually meeting Helena.
Harriet looked normal as if this was an ordinary day.
As they were about to depart, Axias appeared, stopping them for a moment.
"Sorry I can't come. I have a lot of things to do,” said the middle-aged man.
Harriet who heard his apology shook her head. "Don't apologize. You don't
Helena's words didn't bother Harriet at all. There was no sign of Harriet being surprised or offended either.When the waiter came, Harriet was still able to order her drink and have a light chat with the waiter while looking so calm. Her warm smile didn't change in the slightest, and even her body language was so relaxed."You need to stop comparing our genetic tendencies with a curse, Mother," Harriet said flatly.So many twins were born in the Goldlane family since time immemorial. Most were a pair of twin girls or maybe triplets. As Helena was born as three twin sisters, it would be possible for Harriet to give birth to two twin daughters.Helena turned her face away with a tired expression. "I had given birth to you and Heath without making any twins, yet now you still carry that genetic inheritance with you."Helena hated twins. Actually, she had no problem with twin childr
[25 years ago]Helena looked out the carriage window. In her arms, a small baby was fast asleep. A few minutes ago, she passed through the capital's gates, returning after several years of deciding to get away from this stifling place.But she was back.In front of the towering Goldlane residence, Helena got off her horse carriage. No one helped her, no one welcomed her.As she climbed the stairs to the door, suddenly the door opened. A middle-aged man looked at her hatefully and shouted, “How dare you come back here, you witch!”Helena ignored him. The middle-aged man was a butler of the Goldlane family from a family who had served the Goldlane family for generations. He also helped her parents to raise her under their control and torment.He and the servants standing with frowning faces behind him were the same people who favoured her two sister
"Well, we're maybe the same in that sense," said Harriet. "But when it comes to what we choose and decide, we're really different, aren't we, Mother?"Harriet chuckled, while Helena furrowed her brows.“The fact that you tortured the people around me and used nonsensical specific methods to educate me still makes me and Heath hate you. You're still a horrible person, and you're still making the wrong decisions," said Harriet.“The fact that you can see what's wrong with what I did shows our differences. I didn't create a monster!” snapped Helena sharply.“Mother, do you know what I realized after I get myself into this world?” asked Harriet.Helena widened her eyes.Harriet continued seriously. "That I'm not normal."The two of them glared at each other when suddenly Liam appeared and touched Harriet's should
"There is a memory from my childhood about my mother that I will never forget."Harriet spoke when they were back in their carriage. When the others heard, they all turned to Harriet.“My mother vents her anger with violence and abuse, be it physical or mental, and she enjoys it. But after that, something in her eyes changed. It was as if… she was regretting her emotional outburst,” explained Harriet.Heath averted his gaze, as Harriet continued.“My mother has a severe mental illness, and people with mental disabilities shouldn't be allowed to raise children," Harriet said flatly. "Of course, all that mental illness can't justify the things she's done."For Liam, hearing all that Harriet had been through sometimes made him feel amazed. Harriet continued to grow as a wonderful woman even after all that.Harriet indeed grew up being mo
[Obsidian Port Town]Laurel put her hands together in front of her face, as if in prayer. But actually, she was trying to steal glances at Derek who was chanting the prayer after his sermon today.The handsome reverend had been doing this every week, so he recited his prayers in a relaxed and calm manner. However, as he was leading everyone in prayer, he unintentionally saw a woman sitting on the back edge of the pew.Derek caught the presence of Harrie Gold, a woman who had not shown up at church for the weekly sermon in several weeks.For some reason, she looked prettier than usual… was it because it had been a long time since he hadn't seen her?Derek closed his eyes for a moment, trying to shake off these distracting thoughts. That woman is already married!Well, even though her husband didn't have the same belief as her…
Hearing all the woman's insults, Harriet tried to show a friendly smile."Sorry if my presence bothers you, Miss. I have no intention of bothering you, really. Will you tell me what really makes you dislike me so much?”The woman furrowed her brows sharply at how calm Harriet responded to her insult. She was getting angrier for some reason.“So that's how you talk to a noble? You should just shut your mouth and leave with your tails between your legs after apologizing to ME while sobbing pathetically, you lowly bitch!"Laurel's loud voice made everyone around them turn their heads to them. Laurel didn't realize that in front of the church door there were still many people gathered for some reason and what she said just now ended up embarrassing herself.At this moment, Laurel's anger was running high, when suddenly, she caught the figure of an extraordinarily handsome man in her eyes.***Three days after he, Harriet and Zaha arrived at the north, Liam woke up feeling incredibly refre
In front of the church, there was a food cart selling hot loaded potatoes. The vendor opened the lid of his big steamer and began to prepare his wares by cutting the potatoes in half and mixing them with cheese and spices.The delicious smell began to waft through the streets, and soon, as churchgoers started to leave the church to go home, so many children quickly grabbed their parents' hands and clothes to ask them to buy them the fragrant street snack.The large church front yard became bustling, and the food cart began to be surrounded by a few people who wanted to buy some pleasant hot snacks in late autumn.Liam stood on the side of the road, waiting for Harriet to come out of the church. Maybe because the place was still too crowded, Harriet decided to go out later.Liam's figure, which looked so brilliant and dazzling attracted everyone's attention. Truly, anyone who saw him, men, women, chil
“This is Mr Gold," said Harriet, cutting off all of Laurel's flowery thoughts. And her next words made the flowers on Laurel's head immediately wither, "My husband."Harriet opened her eyes a little wider than usual. This made her warm, shaded gaze disappear into a gaze that looked half sharp and half friendly. When Laurel saw Harriet, she unconsciously flinched back.Why? Why did this lowly woman scare her?It was like seeing… a ruler looking down on her.No, no. The man behind her looked even more terrifying after Laurel watched him closely. Was it because she had insulted his wife earlier? Did this handsome man hear everything?“Ahem,” Laurel cleared her throat softly to calm herself.“Excuse me,” Laurel knew when it was time to back off. She had humiliated herself in public, and now that she had seen such a handsome ma
