Chapter 281
In Leanna’s bedroom, Cassandra looked at her with a serious expression, causing Leanna to become obedient.
“Cassie…” Leanna said cautiously.
Leanna was a queen, but at the moment, when she was in front of Cassandra, she was cautious. She was afraid that even a single glance would make Cassandra unhappy and leave.
Cassandra coldly asked Leanna to extend her hand.
Leanna obediently reached out, and Cassandra checked her pulse. Cassandra’s expression became solemn as she said, “Have a good rest. Let others handle everything. You’d better not worry about anything else before I detoxify you.”
Then she looked at Harper and said in the same cold tone, “The same goes. for you. As my patient, if you don’t follow my instructions, I will terminate the treatment at any time.”
Cassandra looked up at Darren and asked, “Are there any traditional herbs in Queen’s Palace?”
Darren was stunned for a while. Then he shook his head. There were hardly any traditional herbs.
Cassandra snorted lightly, looking at Darren. She said with sarcasm, “After the years in Zosteylor, have you forgotten all about our traditions? When modern medicine couldn’t solve the problem, you never considered traditional medicine?”
But considering the fact that Darren could abandon her, his own daughter, Cassandra thought that it made sense for him not to remember traditional medicine.
Darren was speechless.
He had no choice but to silently endure the mockery. He was afraid that Cassandra
would get angry if he with her.
Leanna looked at Cassandra, her eyes shifting from confusion to delight. She asked, “My dear daughter, are you going to detoxify me?”
Cassandra frowned and said impatiently, “Ms. Leanna Stark, or I should say, Your Majesty. I think there might be some misunderstanding. I’m Cassandra Yates, and
ved,

my grandmother is Blossom Yates. She adopted me. So I grew up without parents. Don’t call me like that. I am not your daughter. Please call me Dr. Yates or Faye.”
The first time Leanna called her that, she was busy seeing off Kenneth, so she didn’t make it clear to Leanna. But now, she couldn’t bear to hear Leanna call her Cassie again.
Leanna was puzzled. She didn’t understand the reason why Cassandra said that. She asked, “Why? You are my daughter, aren’t you? We look so alike, don’t we?”
Suddenly, she seemed to realize the reason and said, “My dear, are you blaming me and your father for abandoning you back then? We had no choice. At that time, we couldn’t afford to take you with us. After all, your brother was born with poison. in his body. Neither I nor your father wanted to abandon any of you. However, we have no choice. If we left your brother, he would definitely die. We couldn’t bear it. Both you and your brother are our children. How could your father and I be willing to leave you?
“But it was so urgent that we had to make a choice. We considered many. possibilities, even if … We thought that at least you could survive, and we would meet one day. But if it were your brother, the Yates family might not have been able to cure him. And if the Yates family failed to pick him up in time and he went to another family, as someone born with poison in his body, who would save him?”
As soon as Leanna thought of the decision they made, she felt painful. Despite her own weakness at that time, seeing her children made her feel fulfilled.
However, fate played a cruel joke on her. Kamila was about to hold the ascension. ceremony, and she wanted to seize control of Zosteylor. Leanna couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
Therefore, shortly after giving birth, she and Darren left. However, at that time, they really couldn’t take both children with them. They had clearly informed the Yates family, but somehow, something went wrong.
Cassandra disappeared from the hospital.
She wasn’t in the Ya
residence, and nobody could find her.
Cassandra looked at Queen Stark silently. She didn’t want to hear the explanation. So she said, “I’m going to give you an injection, and you can have a good rest.”
Leanna refused without even thinking about it and said, “No, no. My dear, tell me first. How did you come here and why?”

Cassandra snorted coldly. Looking at the hypocritical people in the room, she slowly stood up and said, “Your dear husband kidnapped Hugo, who is the most important family to me. I’m here for him. Is there any problem with that? As part of the deal, I’ll cure you and Harper, and from then on, we’ll be even.”
Leanna stood up abruptly and replied, “No! What do you mean by saying that we’ll be even? I owe you so much, my dear. Don’t you want Mom to make it up to you?”
“Make it up? The best way you can make it up to me is by staying away from me. Are you willing to do that?” said Cassandra.
Cassandra thought that she didn’t need them to make it up to her. She could gain anything she wanted by herself. She could get anything that she didn’t have. She didn’t need their care.
Leanna’s eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she burst into tears.
Cassandra was a little annoyed and said, “Calm her down first. When she’s calm, I’ll move on to the next step.”
Looking at Hugo, she sighed and said, “You stay here with her. If there’s a problem,
come to me.
She couldn’t proceed with her work without the patient’s cooperation.
All she could do was wait.
“Okay. I’ll take care of it here. Ms. Yates, you can go and have a rest,” replied Hugo.
In the room, Cassandra sat on the sofa and looked out of the window, lost in thought. She didn’t even notice when Harper entered. He brought a cup of coffee and some desserts.
“Seeing that your door was open, I came in without your permission.” Harper placed the items on the coffee table, appearing cautious.
“Thank you.” Cassandra didn’t say much. But she advised, “You should also rest. You need to be in good spirits to deal with the detoxification process.”
Cassandra felt a little speechless. There were no traditional herbs in Queen’s Palace. She didn’t know how she could proceed with her work.
Therefore, she asked Harper, “Can you call your two brothers over?”
Chapter 281
Harper nodded. After a while, Vincent and Theodore arrived. When they learned that Cassandra wanted to see them, they were somewhat surprised.
“Cassie, is there anything that we can do?” They seemed awkward, unlike those of men who had been battling in the business world for years.
“Find all the traditional herbs I need as soon as possible, and then I can start the detoxification process.” Cassandra handed the medication list to Theodore.
“Okay, I’ll do it right away.”
Cassandra nodded and added, “If you’re unsure about anything, ask Hugo. He can help you.”
“Okay.”
After closing her eyes to rest in the room for about half an hour, Cassandra slowly opened her eyes. Unexpectedly, as soon as she did that, someone knocked on the door.
Cassandra opened the door to find Darren standing outside. “Cassie, I’d like to talk to you.”
Cassandra leaned against the sofa with her legs crossed. With that posture, it seemed that she was going to have a negotiation instead of a chat.
“Mr. Yates, I don’t think there’s much to say between us,” said Cassandra.
Before Darren could say anything, he was met with Cassandra’s refusal.
“Well, let’s talk about what happened back then. I want you to know everything before you hate us, okay?”
Darren frowned. It seemed that he didn’t expect Cassandra to hate him like that.
He thought, ‘What should I do now?”
“Well, go ahead,” said Cassandra.
She thought, ‘I’d like to hear what kind of story you can come up with.
