Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Abandoned Daughter Returned Without Mercy: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Nigel took a deep breath, trying to stay patient. “Yes, the medicine is yours, but Sherrie’s condition got worse because of you. Even if she doesn’t blame you, you should at least feel some remorse.”Sherrie bit her lip and looked pitiful. “Forget it, Nigel. Maybe Allison needs it more than I do. I can wait…”When she said that, Nigel’s expression darkened. “Wait? For how long? Do you think your body can afford to wait? You heard Ronan earlier. This medicine is rare!”“You’re always thinking about others,” he sneered, casting an annoyed glance at Allison. “But do you think some people even appreciate it?”Allison didn’t argue or defend herself. She just waited for Nigel to finish, then calmly said, “I already told you. I have compression injuries. This medicine is for my treatment. I can’t give it away.”Nigel let out a mocking laugh, as if she had said something ridiculous. “You eat well, sleep well, and have enough energy to argue with the whole family. Do you look like someone who

Seeing Allison’s stunned expression, he sneered, “What? Going to say I’m accusing you of no reason? Then tell me, where did you get the Alphasirox pills? Did you steal them, or did you pick them up off the ground?”“Even the Lopez family couldn’t get them, yet you could? You must have a pretty powerful sugar daddy. Maybe one day, even my reputation will benefit from your connections.”His words were dripping with sarcasm.Allison simply said, “I didn’t.”“Oh? Then where were you last night? As far as I know, you don’t have any friends willing to accept you. You have no money and no ID. Where exactly did you stay?”So he knew. He knew I had no friends, no identity, no money. And because he was so sure I had nowhere to go, he felt entitled to bully me.Allison answered casually, “The streets. Under a bridge. Plenty of places can shelter someone for a night. They’re just a bit cold.”She then added, “As for the pills, they were given to me by Jareth.”Nigel was shocked when he heard it.

Allison had traveled with her father since childhood and had seen all kinds of patients, so she was familiar with this kind of mentality.“There’s Datura in the medication you take regularly. I can smell it,” Allison dropped a bombshell before continuing, “Your physical functions should be fine. Your mobility issues are probably due to nerve paralysis.”She stole another glance at the driver and saw that he looked completely numb, as if he had already given up on saving her.Tightening her grip on the ballpoint pen in her hand, Allison held her breath and waited for Jareth’s reaction. She was obviously taking a gamble.The fact that Jareth hadn’t handed her over to his subordinates meant there was something about her that grabbed his attention. This was her chance, and she had to seize it.Jareth’s expression darkened slightly, but he didn’t get angry. “You can identify the ingredients of medicine just by smell?”Allison felt a twinge of disappointment because he hadn’t followed her l

When Ronan saw that she still didn’t react, he felt embarrassed. He stormed off, furious.Allison didn’t feel any better when he left.What was she supposed to do when Nigel came back? What if the Rogers family forced her into marriage? Legally, she was labeled mentally ill. Legally, her family had the right to control her. Even if she ran away, they could still drag her back. She hadn’t even escaped the nightmare of all the pain she suffered in the asylum. And now she was about to be thrown into the nightmare of marriage, too?She felt the warmth on her wrist. That pulled her out of her thoughts. She looked down and saw Jareth rubbing medicine between his palms. He was warming it up. Then he gently applied it to her swollen wrist.Jareth said, “I wasn’t the one who called Ronan here.”Allison didn’t answer him. Whether Ronan was called here or not didn’t matter. What happened already happened. What was done was done. There was no point in thinking about it over and over.There was no

Allison smiled with mockery, “Ronan, are you scared I’ll actually end up with Jareth?”She added, “Because Jareth is more capable than you. You’re jealous.”Allison kept going. “If I like someone else, I won’t be in your and Sherrie’s way. You should be happy.”Instead of standing there listening to Ronan’s rant, who was talking like she was the one who cheated, Allison walked into the living room.Ronan didn’t follow her. He was probably too pissed off.When Allison walked into the living room, she noticed extra people in the house.On the sofa, Ruth was chatting with a woman about her age.Ruth smiled when she saw Allison. She quickly beckoned her. “Look, our Ally is back. Ally, say hello to Ms. Genna.”Allison had never heard of anyone named Genna being close to the family. However, she didn’t want trouble, so she just said, “Hello, Ms. Genna.”Allison glanced at the bangle on Genna’s wrist. It looked well-made. The quality was good, but it wasn’t top-tier. She figured Genna was fr
