She reached into her bag, brought out her phone, and disyed the call log to him.


    After a thorough exnation, Mekhi’s anger appeared to subside somewhat.


    Sally feigned confusion.


    “Why would you use me of stealing the earrings? Did something happen?”


    Mekhi’s gaze darkened as he said, “Lucinda has alleged that you stole her earrings.


    She and Sonnybed through the entire house and took Noelle with them.


    ”This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Sally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she quickly adopted a facade of surprise and inquired, “How could they take Noelle away like that? Wasn’t that trespassing? And why did Lucinda im her earrings were stolen? She personally gave them to me!”


    Mekhi offered no further exnation and merely cast a cold nce at his innocent and guileless sister.


    “Stay clear of Lucinda.


    Don’t let her exploit you again.


    You’re no longer a child.


    Trust no one but your family,” he warned.


    “I understand,” she replied softly and timidly, eyeing the cane in his hand.


    “Could you please put that down? It’s frightening…”


    Mekhi ruffled her hair and said, “It’ste.


    Go get some rest.


    ”


    Sally nodded obediently and walked out of the room.


    Even as she walked away, her body still trembled.


    She heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest to steady herself.


    Her deepest wish was for Noelle to leave permanently and never to return to this house.


    The thought of seeing Noelle within these walls filled her with resentment.


    Inside the room, Mekhi carefully ced the cane back inside a long box.


    As he pondered how Lucinda had manipted Sally to take Noelle away, a sinister re filled his eyes.


    The following day, at the N&L Fairy Land.


    Cyrus, who had not slept a wink throughout the night, sat vigntly by Noelle’s bedside.


    The doctor had examined her and discovered her weakened state.


    Two tranquilizer injections had subdued her, preventing her from Losing control, but they also kept her asleep throughout the night.


    Cyrus had bandaged the wounds on her wrists.


    Staring at her pale face, he gripped her hand tightly.


    Regret weighed heavily on him, realizing that persuading her to im her identity as a Shaw had been a grave mistake.


    No matter what he did now, it seemed insufficient topensate for the suffering she had endured.


    He was prepared to ept any punishment when she regained her sanity.


    Cyrus’ eyes were red, and his heart ached.


    He was filled with sorrow.
