Chapter 1489

Fern caressed her daughter’s head pitifully. She then asked Eugene to leave the ward with her.

When they were in the hospital corridor, she asked, “Tell me. What happened to Rue?”

“Some human traffickers sold her to a family in a poor mountainous district. The family bought her to be their child bride,” he told her about the horrendous incident with the simplest words he could think of.

“What? She was sold…” Fern was shocked. The next moment, she was filled with extreme anger. “How did she become the target of human traffickers?”

She could not imagine how frightened Rue must have been after being sold like that. Were the injuries on her body inflicted by the person who bought her?

It was no wonder that her emotions were highly unstable now. She was even suffering from psychological trauma!

Eugene’s expression suddenly hardened. He spoke to her in an icy tone, “She wasn’t targeted by human traffickers… Sydney’s mother was the one who sold her to the human traffickers.”
