CHAPTER 987 CONFESSION
Chapter 987 Confession
"Coming to see her after so long and making a scene as soon as you arrive, causing the patient to feel
uneasy!"
"Bringing the mistress who killed the Second Miss here to see the Young Miss, it's like they're afraid the
Young Miss won't die fast or miserably enough... How can a father and grandmother be so ruthless and
heartless?"
Daphne suddenly stopped her yelling and struggling when she heard these whispered words.
Because she suddenly realized that what Leon said, that Hattie's condition was not good and that she
would never have a granddaughter again... might be true.
Daphne's face turned pale in an instant.
...
The room was quiet to the point of deathly stillness.
Selena walked quietly to the bedside and looked at the little girl lying there with her eyes tightly closed
and a lifeless expression, like a doll. Her heart ached a little.
She sat down by the bed and gently took Hattie into her arms with her delicate hands.
Leon stood behind her, looking a bit tired between his eyebrows, and spoke lightly, "She hasn't said a
word since she was sent back from that man two days ago..."
Selena gently patted the child's tender shoulders, her eyes were extremely cold.
Two days ago, her own emotions were a mess and she was unable to comfort Hattie at all.
Thinking back now, when Hattie appeared outside the Turner family's gate and helped her block
Daphne's slap, her emotions were already not right at that time.
Before that, the little girl must have gone through something.
Perhaps she came to the Turner family to seek comfort and encouragement from her, but she didn't
expect that Daphne's slap would deepen her nightmare.
Selena closed her eyes slightly and opened them again a few seconds later.
She looked around this pink princess room with its warm and gorgeous decorations, which showed
Leon's intention towards his sister, but there was no trace of tenderness.
Leon loved and protected her, but he had to manage the the Riddle's Company and his own parents...
he couldn't always be with her.
Besides occasionally coming to see her, Hattie could only rely on herself.
Selena's expression turned cold again, but her tone was gentle, "Hattie, open your eyes and look at
Selena, okay?"
Hattie's eyelashes trembled, as if she wanted to open her eyes, but was dragged back by deeper
nightmares.
Selena's voice became even softer, and she leaned close to the child's ear and whispered, "I'm sorry,
it's all Selena's fault..."
Hattie's long eyelashes trembled even more, with a greater degree of curvature.
Selena held Hattie tighter and spoke in a softer voice, "It was Selena who caused Hattie's mother's
trouble, and also caused trouble for Hattie..."
Selena lowered her head and looked at the face in her arms, which resembled her own. She gently
brushed the child's trembling eyelashes with her delicate fingers, as if wiping away a nightmare.
Selena spoke in a tender voice that she had never used before, "Selena will avenge Hattie for you."
"Hattie, you have to wake up and watch those murderers kneel before you and your mother, confessing
and repenting!"
Her delicate fingers touched a string of wet marks.
Selena moved her fingers away and saw that the tightly closed eyes had already opened.
The little girl's dark, icy eyes were full of bloodshot veins, as if they might burst with blood.
"It wasn't Selena who caused my mother's death... it was them who killed her! It was them! It was
them!"
"I saw it... I saw it with my own eyes..."
"My mother was lying there, bleeding so much, she kept calling for me, asking for help, but they...
they..."
As she finished speaking, the child seemed to be trapped in a terrible nightmare, and her eyes became
extremely sharp and terrifying. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Leon suddenly closed his eyes.
As Hattie spoke intermittently, Selena's eyes became cold and terrifying.
She gently accompanied Hattie's trembling back and whispered, "They made Hattie's mother bleed so
much, Selena will make them bleed even more!"
"They made Hattie's mother suffer so much, Selena will make them suffer even more!"
"Don't be afraid," Selena gently patted her, as if comforting a baby, her voice becoming extremely
gentle, "Selena will never abandon you again."
"Selena will protect Hattie, care for her, watch her grow up to become more and more beautiful and
cute..."
"Hattie is different to Selena."
"Selena hopes that Hattie can survive!"
"Just like Phoebe, no matter what you experience, you have to keep living!"
"Sleep now, Selena will always be by your side until Hattie wakes up, so don't be afraid..."
As Hattie listened to Selena's gentle voice, her body, which had been tense to the extreme, slowly
relaxed. After struggling with her nerves for a long time, she finally found relief and leaned against
Selena's arms, as if she had found the warmest shelter and finally became completely calm.
This time, Hattie really fell asleep. Selena gently patted her for a while to make sure she was sound
asleep, then turned around and looked at Leia. Leia approached with red eyes and carefully took Hattie
from Selena's arms. Selena took a small blanket from the bed and covered Hattie with it. Then she
turned and looked at Leon. "I'm taking Hattie with me," she said.
Previously, Selena thought that the Riddle family's affairs had nothing to do with her, so she let the little
girl return to the capital alone. But with the revelation of Lady Nevaeh's death, everything that Hattie
had experienced was caused by Nevaeh's entanglement. So this child became her responsibility.
Leon stared at Selena's eyes. "Lady Selena, do you know who killed my aunt?"
Selena smiled, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes. "Thank you for asking on behalf of the
Grand Lady, but I don't think I need to see her."
Not needing to see her meant that she had already confirmed something! Leon's heart sank suddenly
as he looked at Selena's cold expression and couldn't find the words to say.
What could he say? From any perspective, there was no sentiment between the Riddle family and
Selena.
Selena took a step towards the door, and Leia followed her with Hattie in her arms. Just as Selena was
about to walk out the door, Leon suddenly spoke up. "Lady Selena."
Selena stopped in her tracks. "What does Mr. Riddle want to say?"
Leon looked at her cold and determined back. "Will you let Hattie return to the Riddle family?"
The question was ironic. Hattie was the bloodline of the Riddle family. But now Mr. Riddle was asking
whether the unrecognized granddaughter and Miss Riddle of the Riddle family would return to the
Riddle family.
Selena laughed when she heard the question, but her eyes were devoid of warmth. "Hattie won't have
a chance to return to the Riddle family until all the demons in the Riddle family are completely cleared
out."
Leon's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. This meant that even if Daphne wanted to repent, she
would no longer have the chance...
