When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 912: Truly Rotten to the Bone
The girl’s heart tightened with anxiety upon hearing this, "Why are they arguing?" Actually, she had a premonition that this matter might be related to her.
Otherwise, Miss Xavier wouldn’t be here now.
"Isn’t it all because of you?!" Sure enough, the other party blurted out bitterly, "Don’t act so innocent. This household has become chaotic because of you—this is the truth."
Hearing this, the girl, still recovering from her injuries, felt very guilty.
Rhiannon Xavier’s voice wasn’t loud, but her tone was heavy—
"Mother felt sorry for you and wants to take you as her goddaughter, but Father disagreed. After all, they do have a daughter! As a result, they not only argued but almost got physical!"
This caused the girl sitting at the bedside to tighten her chest, feeling incredibly remorseful.
Rhiannon Xavier believed she was a conscientious person, so with a soft sigh, she eased her tone and said—
"See when you feel a bit better, take the initiative to leave here. Don’t make things difficult for my parents."
"After all, this is the Xavier Family in Jadepoint. Having an outsider here would cause a lot of issues. There are several people openly and secretly watching you."
What did she mean by that? 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Worried she might be a bad person? An enemy’s spy?
The girl was simply injured and suffered partial amnesia, but she wasn’t stupid. Some things she could still understand.
Finally, Rhiannon attempted to speak while Old Mr. Downey was away—
"You’ve been saved, so don’t expect to live here forever. The Xavier Family doesn’t support idle people. If you have some sense, there’s no need for my parents to say it openly."
"Miss Xavier." The girl quickly explained, "You’ve misunderstood..."
"There’s no need to say so much to me," Rhiannon said decisively. "Since childhood, I’ve seen plenty of people trying all sorts of means to cling to the high branch that is the Xavier Family. But someone like you, floating in heavily injured, is a first; the level of injury is just right."
Saying this, she turned and left...
The girl sat dejectedly at the bedside, staring at her departing figure, greatly affected by her words.
Nobody else knew Rhiannon Xavier came today, nor would anyone know what she said to her.
Just these words would take her a long, long time to digest...
Gently lying down her weak body, the room was quiet as she stared at the ceiling, trying to put aside everything Miss Xavier had said earlier.
The images flashing in her mind were—
After two months of coma, when she first woke up, the Xavier Family and several servants stood by the bed. Everyone was very happy, and she could feel that joy in their eyes.
Mr. Xavier and Mrs. Xavier treated her very well; there was genuine joy, without one showing a different attitude from the other.
But as for Miss Xavier earlier, since she noticed her, she wasn’t pleased; most of her attention focused on Young Master Xavier.
Yet, Young Master Xavier didn’t introduce her, as if directly ignoring her...
So, the clever girl analyzed and questioned the identity of this girl as the elder Miss Xavier, suspecting she might be the recognized goddaughter.
People are selfish, all having a possessive nature.
Thus, recalling what was said earlier, it should be seen as an attempt to provoke, not to be taken seriously.
However, she couldn’t help but feel a bit afraid that Miss Xavier might target her in the future?
Aside from being on guard, the coming days were filled with fear... After all, she ate, drank, and lived in this Xavier household.
And since Miss Xavier viewed her as an enemy, today’s exchange gave her some understanding of Miss Xavier’s personality.
