Something shifted in Emerence's expression briefly, she smiled and replied, “Thanks for your concern, Madam, but I’ve already slept a bit just now. I’m not tired.” “Alright.” Julie approached the bed without another word. She did not bother the unconscious Madam Stockton and went to Queenie instead. She gently patted her on the shoulder. Queenie woke up easily and looked at her with a dazed expression. “Julie? Why are you here?" Julie spoke softly, “Hey, Queenie, why don’t I watch over her tonight instead? You need to go home and get some proper rest. You can come back tomorrow.” Queenie rubbed her sleepy eyes. "No need for that, I’ll just stay here and be with her. Thanks for the offer though, you can go back if you want to.” "I'll take care of her, don't worry about it.” Queenie smiled. “I know you’re trying to help, but I don't want to leave her right now, I just want to stay by her side. Besides, I’m sure there are many things you have to deal with at home. Why

Although the interior of the house was coated in dust, having been inhabited for years, the furniture and electrical appliances were all in fine condition. She only realized that when she bumped into a light switch after John left last night. After she finished her stolen buns, she went to the kitchen and found an electric kettle. She made sure to wash it several times before using it to boil some water to drink. After having eaten and drank, she felt much better. Her strength was restored at last. That was when she began to miss Caprice. It had been a full day since her absence. She wondered if her daughter was missing her. … At John’s. He opened his eyes before dawn even broke. He was going to head straight to the hospital. He took a quick shower and as soon as he stepped out of the shower, he saw Caprice sitting up in the center of the bed and staring at him with her large and pearly eyes that she inherited from her mother. She seemed to be slightly

When John arrived at the hospital with Caprice, the nurses were just changing out Madam Stockton’s saline IV drip. Queenie stood guard by the bed. There were dark and heavy circles under her eyes. Emerence was there as well. They rose to greet John and Caprice when they entered. John held Caprice tightly in his arms with Julie trailing behind them. He turned to Queenie. “Thanks for the hard work, go home and get some rest.” Queenie did not protest this time. “Alright.” "Queenie, Aunt Emerence, I brought you two some breakfast, eat before you leave.” Julie set down a container filled with food on a table set on the other side of the room. Queenie nodded weakly and walked to the table with Emerence. Meanwhile, John took Carrie with her to the hospital bed to look at Madam Stockton. The old madam’s eyes were closed and it seemed like she was sleeping peacefully. Caprice asked out of genuine curiosity, "Dad, why is Grandma still sleeping? The sun is already up

Julie warily watched John from a safe distance. After a while, his eyes remained closed and it did not seem like he had woken up. She heaved a sigh of relief and retreated to the couch with a faint smile hung on her lips. She threw on a blanket and planned to nap for a while. When she lay down on the couch and kicked her legs out to the other edge of the couch, her feet brushed against something. It was Caprice. Caprice was sprawled out over the other edge of the couch, sleeping soundly and comfortably. Julie scowled at the mere sight of the child as she deliberately kicked her legs out again and jabbed at Caprice with the soles of her feet. She made sure to temper her strength at just the right amount so Caprice would not wake up. She was not going to hurt the child, she was merely doing it for her satisfaction. Caprice only groaned and mumbled in her sleep but did not wake up. Julie chuckled. ‘You little brat, just wait! I’ll make your life miserable once you

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye. Inside the house nestled deep within the rural area. Sherry was so hungry that she felt like she was a walking skeleton by this point. She collapsed onto the couch and could barely move her limbs. For two whole days, she had not ingested anything except for water. John must have ordered the bodyguards to starve her to death, she was sure of it. Ever since the incident two days ago, they had taken special attention to properly discarding all the leftovers after they ate so there was no chance she could steal anything to eat. A glimpse of sunlight spilled into the living room from between the cracks of the curtain. Sherry opened her eyes, feeble and weak. Hungry. So hungry. At this rate, even if she did not starve to death, she was going to lose her sanity. No, she could not let herself waste away like this. She had to pull herself together, she had to find a way out of here! A determined glow shone in her e
