Chapter 354 Mr. Hart Plays the Thief at Midnight

"Wendy, what nonsense are you talking about!" Emma Carter had never expected her daughter to say such a thing. Unable to suppress her temper, her words came out sharp, "You are my daughter, my own flesh and blood. How could I see you as a burden? If I could suffer in your place, I'd rather shorten my own life just to let you live well. How could you say something like this? You're breaking my heart!"

"You want me to live well, so why did you let them come here, making noise and chaos? How am I supposed to recover?"

"Wendy!" Emma Carter stared at her daughter, thoroughly shocked by her perspective.

She stood up from the bedside, looking down at her daughter. She wanted to say something but swallowed her words when she saw Wendy's pale and haggard face, unable to bring herself to voice them.
