Kelsey had almost reached their table when Ramon came rushing back into the shop like a storm.He brushed past her without even looking at her and immediately knelt in front of Kendrick.“Kendrick, look at me,” Ramon said worriedly while checking his condition.The little boy was still struggling to breathe, his small face already turning pale.Kelsey’s hands shook badly as she moved closer.“Let me see him—”“Don’t touch him!” Wanda suddenly shouted at her, making her freeze instantly.Wanda looked up at her with red eyes full of panic and anger. “What did you put in his ice cream?”Kelsey’s eyes widened in shock.“I didn’t put anything…” she responded quickly, even though she felt that it wasn’t important at the moment.What mattered now was giving Kendrick his allergy medicine before things got worse.Her hand quickly slipped into her pocket, pulling out the medication she always carried for Kendrick and herself since they were both allergic to nuts.“Stop lying!” Wanda cried out l

The following morning, the Ivory Mansion was already busy because of Doris’s birthday party later that evening.Servants moved around carrying flower decorations and expensive gift boxes.Kelsey was already in the kitchen, her hands submerged in cold water as she scrubbed the marble counter for the third time that morning. The tiles were already spotless, but Doris Holloway had said they weren’t “presentable enough for a proper household.”So she cleaned again.Behind her, the sound of heels clicked sharply against the floor.“Are you still not done?” Doris’s voice cut through the quiet like a blade.Kelsey stiffened but didn’t turn immediately. She wiped her hands slowly on her apron before facing her mother-in-law.“I’m almost done,” she said softly.Doris looked her up and down with open disdain, her eyes pausing briefly on Kelsey’s slightly trembling hands.“Almost is not done,” she replied coldly. “A useless woman like you should at least be good at keeping a house clean. Or is t

The next morning… Kelsey slowly opened her eyes. A sharp pain shot through her head, making her shut them again immediately. Her brows tightened as she let out a soft groan. Everything felt heavy… her body, her thoughts… even her breathing. She was still lost when the door suddenly opened. Bang! “Kelsey!” Doris marched in, her face filled with anger, her voice sharp and loud enough to cut through the room. “So you are still lying down after the disgrace you caused last night?” Kelsey froze for a moment before slowly opening her eyes. She remained in bed, too weak to get up. Doris didn’t stop. “Rolling down the stairs in front of everyone! Do you even know how embarrassing that was?” Her eyes were full of disgust. Kelsey said nothing. Her fingers clenched at her sides. “Don’t blame her, Mum. You know she is always clumsy. She didn’t fall on purpose,” Wanda spoke softly, placing her hand on Doris’ arm, trying to calm her down. Then she turned to Kelsey, smili

The lobby fell into complete silence. No one dared to speak.The director’s face stiffened, his earlier confidence disappearing the moment Mr Rowland spoke.“S-sir, this is just a small misunderstanding,” the director said quickly, forcing a smile.“A misunderstanding that a patient admitted to your hospital is looking like this after years?” Kelsey spoke immediately after him. Her chest rose and fell as the anger in her burned even more because of his words.The director’s face tightened. “You—”But he didn’t complete his sentence. He was afraid of Mr Rowland.“He looks abandoned. Is this how this hospital operates?” Mr Rowland’s voice was calm but still cold as he questioned.The director panicked. “No… no… we will look into it,” he said quickly, then turned to the hospital administrator.The administrator stepped forward immediately with a tablet and whispered to the director while showing him something on the screen.Kelsey’s brows creased as she stared at them, trying to underst

By the time Kelsey returned to the Ivory Mansion, the sky had already turned dark. The gates slowly opened for the taxi she arrived in. She stepped out quietly, holding the shopping bags in both hands. The driver placed the remaining bags beside her before driving away. Kelsey stood there for a moment, staring at the mansion. The same mansion she had once believed was protecting her. Now, it only felt cold. She couldn’t wait to find her own apartment and leave. She adjusted her grip on the bags and slowly walked inside. The moment she entered the living room, the atmosphere changed. The two servants there turned to look at her one after another. Their eyes slowly widened. Because Kelsey had changed. Not completely… but enough to shock them. Her hair, which was usually rough and carelessly packed, was now neatly arranged after the spa treatment. Her skin looked cleaner. The dullness on her face had reduced slightly, and the oversized worn clothes she normally hid
