She felt a whirlwind of emotions inside her.<\/p>\n<p>This was where she grew up. Claiming she had no attachment would be dishonest. It was impossible to sever all connections completely. She had strived to detach herself.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, when she heard that her once\u2013strong grandfather was suddenly facing amputation, she knew she had to come back, both emotionally and rationally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go,\u201d Yulia said as she led the way, noticing Hannia hesitating behind. Hannia nodded briefly, expressionless, and followed her<\/p>\n<p>Inside the tightly closed gates, as soon as they entered, they saw the bustling servants moving in and out. They were all surprised to see Hannia return.<\/p>\n<p>They wondered, Didn\u2019t Ms. Hawkins leave after a fight with Mr. Hawkins the last time? Mr. Hawkins is bedridden. She must have come back to check on her grandfather.\u2018<\/p>\n<p>Not far away, from Garrick\u2019s room, cries of pain echoed intermittently, sounding utterly miserable. Hannia glanced in that direction.<\/p>\n<p>Just then, Gina came out of the room and spotted Hannia with excitement. \u201cHannia, is that you? Did you really come back? Did Yulia bring you back? That\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannia awkwardly looked at her mother and tried to change the subject. \u201cWell, I\u2019ll go check on Grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gina snapped back to reality. \u201cOh, yes, of course, you should go<\/p>\n<p>Hannia nodded slightly and headed toward Garrick\u2019s room. Inside the room, besides Garrick, who was lying in bed, groaning in pain, there was also Rita sitting calmly on the sofa.<\/p>\n<p>Yulia and Gina followed closely behind Hannia. As soon as Hanna walked in, Rita looked up and said, \u201cHannia, you\u2019re back. Go and check on your grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannia agreed and walked over to the bed. When she saw her grandpa\u2019s left foot, which had turned black and was severely decayed, she couldn\u2019t help but frown.<\/p>\n<p>Garrick was still groaning in pain, and when he saw Hannia return, he didn\u2019t pay her any attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandpa, how are you feeling?\u201d Hannia asked, looking down at his foot. Carrick didn\u2019t respond. He just kept on shouting. \u201cIt hurts. It hurts so much. Hannia suddenly felt a pang of guilt.<\/p>\n<p>Rita slowly got up, walked to Hannia\u2019s side, and patted her on the shoulder. \u201cHannia, your grandpa\u2019s like this, your sister isn\u2019t around, and there aren\u2019t many people left in the Hawkins family Why don\u2019t you come back?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At this, Hannia jerked her head up, a hint of panic in her eyes. \u201cGrandma Rita, I can\u2019t. I\u2019ve seen Grandpa. I need to leave now. Yulia, I\u2019ve seen how Grandpa is, and there\u2019s little I can do. Could you please take me back?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With that, Hannia started to turn away, Gina became anxious. \u201cHannia, please, I am pleading with you to stay.\u201d Yulia also joined in to persuade her.<\/p>\n<p>Only Rita turned around calmly. \u201cHannia, come here. I want to have a word with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As soon as Rita finished speaking, Hannia, who was about to keep walking, stopped suddenly, looking like the light had left her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>08:59 Thu, Dec 19<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 383<\/p>\n<p>94%1<\/p>\n<p>Gina knew what was happening but still watched her with worry<\/p>\n<p>Yulia, seeing this for the first time, paused to think and then realized that her grandma had bewitched or used some mind control on Hannia.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Hannia started to slowly turn around, her eyes vacant as she walked toward Rita.<\/p>\n<p>Yulia was startled once more, realizing how powerful this kind of magic was, fully capable of controlling a person\u2019s mind. She watched Hannia\u2019s puppet\u2013like movements without blinking<\/p>\n<p>Rita watched Hannia come over and smiled with satisfaction. When Hannia came close, she spoke slowly, \u201cGood girl, tell me where have you been staying lately and who have you been with We\u2019ve been searching for you for ages!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Rita finished speaking, Hannia slowly replied, \u201cI\u2019ve been staying at a narcissistic guy\u2019s house, with him, his assistant,<\/p>\n<p>and me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Rita wrinkled her nose in disapproval. \u201cWho is this narcissistic guy, and who is his assistant?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannia replied, \u201cThe narcissistic guy is Nolan, and his assistant is Torin. Torin is really nice to me. He\u2019s not just an assistant. He\u2019s also family to Nolan. He even brings me a milkshake and helps with mopping and household chores.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rita was clueless about the thoughts swirling in Hannia\u2019s mind. Her words were peculiar, so Rita went straight to the point. \u201cAlright, Hannia. Did those two help you get rid of the cursed worm?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannia shook her head. \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan you tell me who helped you get rid of the cursed worm?\u201d Rita asked again.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Hannia seemed to lower her head and slowly shook it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRita,\u201d Hannia doesn\u2019t want to say.<\/p>\n<p>Could it be that she doesn\u2019t know?\u201d Gina commented from the side.<\/p>\n<p>Rita also felt a bit puzzled. She thought for a moment before speaking again, \u201cCome on, Hannia. Lift your head and look into my eyes. Come on. Look into my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rita spoke gently, and after a few seconds, Hannia indeed looked up again. Her vacant eyes met Rita\u2019s deep, unfathomable<\/p>\n<p>gaze.<\/p>\n<p>SEND GIFT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-406","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
