“Well, I suppose I should trust you.”
“Ms. Be, you’re back!”
Steven walked in hurriedly, still dressed in a suit, but with quite an
amount of flour on the front.
“Oh? Steve, you’re cooking?” Be asked curiously.
“Yes. Madam Celeste and Ms. Amelia are in the kitchen, so I thought
I’d help out.” Steven seemed somewhat embarrassed and worried.
“What? Celeste is cooking in the kitchen?”
M stood up in shock. “Why didn’t you stop her? She just fainted in
the morning!”
Be’s heart skipped a beat. “Aunt Celeste fainted? I’ll look for her!”
Amelia stayed by her mother’s side in the kitchen. They were cookin
together.
“Mom, are you alright?” Amelia worriedly looked at Celeste’s pale fa
“I’m fine. We need to hurry up. It’s almost dinner time. It would be ba
for everyone to starve…” Celeste muttered in a daze while quickly
chopping vegetables.
Suddenly, she cried out.
“Mom! Your hand is bleeding!” Amelia was frightened and at a loss. She was on the verge of tears.
“Aunt Celeste!”
Be and Steven arrived in time to see this scene. Seeing Celeste’s deep wound, Be decisively said,
“Steven, get the first aid kit from my room. Aunt Celeste has a deep cut on her finger. She needs
stitches!”
“Yes, Ms. Be!”
Steven quickly returned with the first aid kit, and Be skillfully
stitched and bandaged Celeste’s finger.
Looking at Be’s proficient stitching skills, Amelia was speechless with amazement. Her sister was
like an invincible goddess. There was nothing Be could not do.
Amelia felt weak and useless when shepared herself to Be. Her mother was bullied and almost
gravely hurt, but there was nothing she could do about it. Amelia had to hold back her tears in
desperation.
“Ms. Amelia, please rest assured with Ms. Be here.”
Steven leaned down, putting his warm hands on Amelia’s tremblin shoulders. He felt her heartache.
“Madam Celeste prepared a few dishes. Let’s set the table.”

Amelia sensed that Be wanted to talk to Celeste, so she wiped off her tears and obediently followed
Steven out of the kitchen.
“Aunt Celeste, don’t worry. You’ve suffered so many grievances. We won’t let this slide.” Be lowered
her gaze as she bandaged
Celeste’s finger with gauze.
“Be, thanks for the thought, but don’t do anything for me. I’m fine!” Celeste panicked, her gaze
bing unfocused and messy.
“Perhaps someone dared to target you twenty years ago, and now
she wants to repeat the same trick. She just has a death wish!”
Be took a deep breath and suppressed the rising anger in her chest. “Since she wants to die so
badly, I’ll make sure to fulfill her wish.”
Celeste suddenly returned to her senses and grabbed Be’s hand, panting. “Be… Do you know who
did it?!”
“Yeah. I’m sure you can guess who it is too.”
Be’s eyes shed with pain. “You should have told Wyatt. How can
he sit idly by when his wife is being bullied?!”
“Be, I don’t want any revenge… I only want our family to live in peace.” A tear fell from Celeste’s
eyes.
