Originally, as Cecilia approached the study, Regina had already let go of most of her anxiety.
Hedda and Olive had just helped Regina sit on the sofa, and then the sound of a whip came again!
This whip seemed to strike Regina, causing her to abruptly straighten her body, her gaze turning towards the study door.
Seeing Cecilia pulling Gladys back, Regina's heart, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.
"Cecilia! What are you doing?"
"I've already apologized. I even hugged the child. You can't just leave Alston to be beaten to death by his father, right?! You clearly said just now that you would handle this matter!"
Cecilia's expression was dark, and Regina, seeing this, said, "Didn't you hear? Your father is hitting him again! When I came out, Alston was already halfway to death from being beaten!"
"I'm begging you, have mercy on me, save my son, please?"
