Once Fanny had her wounds dressed, she contacted the Kins Family. Upon receiving the news, Scarlet immediately arranged for Fanny to be transferred to the large hospital in Riverdon before feeling a sense of relief.
She was horrified to see Fanny lying pale on the hospital bed.
“Fanny, how are you? Are you okay?” Scarlet trembled as she clasped Fanny’s hand.
Having nurtured her daughter like a precious jewel for many years, Scarlet was usually too fearful to even raise a finger against her. How does Britney dare to harm Fanny with a knife?
The sight of the knife was terrifying. But in reality, Fanny’s injuries were not too severe.
Nevertheless, she was terrified.

She had been pampered and privileged since childhood, commanding many people yet always shielded in a safe environment.
Even when indulging in activities that couldn’t be openly done, no one dared to do them publicly.
She never imagined that Britney would have the audacity to do something like this.
Fanny weakly leaned against the hospital bed, allowing Scarlet to hold her hand. She weakly uttered, “Mom, don’t cry. I’m fine. The doctor said it’s nothing serious.”
“What happened? You only mentioned being injured, but how could this suddenly occur?” Scarlet wiped away her tears.
Fanny lowered her head and remained silent.
Scarlet grew anxious. “What’s the matter, Fanny? Is there something you can’t tell me?”
“I… Mom, let’s not dwell on it. I don’t want to talk about it.” Fanny hesitated, displaying a helpless smile.
Scarlet shook her head disapprovingly. “Whoever mistreated you, I’ll handle it for you.”
“That’s right.” James and Joseph burst in energetically from outside.

Despite being orrupted, supon hearing that Fanny was injured and hospitalized, they dropped everything and rashed over
After all, she was their beloved sister whom they had cared for for many years. Naturally, they would be concrmed if something happened to her.
Sering James and Joseph arrive, Fanny pouted and shed more tears.
After crying for about five or six minutes, the sniffled and said, “I really don’t know what happened. I just know that today is Unde Mike’s funeral…
ouldn’t bring herself to address Mike as Dad” in front of the Kins Family.
Fanny paused, then continued, “I was supposed to keep vigil, and many people were assisting. Then, Angela arrived. She said she was there to pay her respects.”
The Kins Family remained silent,
After all, Mike had raised Angela for a few years. Despite not treating her well, he was still her adopted father. Now that Mike had passed away, it was only fitting for Angela to bid him farewell
Then Angela took Aunt Britney aside and appeared to give her some money. I don’t know what they were discussing. After Angela left, Aunt Britney summoned me into the room,” Fanny spoke softly, her eyes carrying a hint of subtle resentment.
At this point, Fanny’s face turned pale once more. She shrunk on the bed, trembling slightly. “Then Aunt Britney scolded me, accusing me of killing Uncle Mike. She even called me a heartless person. I have no idea why she would say that…”
She continued, “I tried to explain desperately, but she didn’t believe me.”
Fanny looked plaintively at the Kins Family members. “And then she stabbed me with a knife. I… I truly don’t know…”
She recounted the incident, mixing truth with falsehood.
Angela’s visit and the money she gave were genuine, but whether she was alone was hard to determine. With numerous people coming and going, it was uncertain if they had a private
conversation.
Moreover, even if those people accused Fanny of lying, it all depended on who the Kins Family members believed.
Fanny uttered these words merely to sow discord between the Kins Family members and

Angela, without concern for how others perceived her.
Upon hearing Fanny’s words, Scarlet’s face displayed a flash of anger. “This deceitful girl is so malicious. How dare she incite Britney to harm you. It’s unbelievable”
Joseph’s eyes flickered slightly as he stood at the side without uttering a word.
Although he cherished Fanny, his intuition told him that Angela wouldn’t engage in such behavior. It was not about trusting Angela’s character, but rather a feeling that she lacked a
motive.
People always act with a purpose in mind. What is Angela’s motive in inciting Britney? Perhaps, Britney is triggered by something herself.
James also listened with evident anger on his face. “How could she do this?”
If Angela didn’t have to attend to Zacharias, James genuinely wanted to confront her. They all followed her instructions, yet she still didn’t spare Fanny, which was truly despicable.
Joseph stepped forward, his voice gentle. “But now is not the time to hold Angela
accountable. Without evidence, it’s all mere speculation. She still needs to continue treating Zacharias. If we offend her…
He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood.
Scarlet’s eyes displayed a hint of displeasure. “She must be taking advantage of the situation, and that’s why she’s acting with impunity.”
Fanny lowered her gaze, her tone soft. “Joseph is right, I was merely speculating. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence… Angela wouldn’t do that.”
Observing Fanny’s meekness, Scarlet felt sorry for her. “Fanny, why are you still defending her? You’ve helped her before. Being too kind isn’t always wise. Some people are ungrateful wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
“Mom… Please don’t say that. It’s my fault for causing you worry. I believe the police will conduct a thorough investigation.” Fanny shook her head.
She held Scarlet’s hand and inquired, “I wonder how Aunt Britney is faring. I heard she was arrested by the police. Do you think the neighbors next door will criticize me when I return?”
“Why would they criticize you? You’re the victim.” Scarlet was incensed, especially toward Britney.
Fanny’s eyes
welled up with tears as she said, “But, regardless, she is still my mother. If I

don’t help her. I might be condemned for not caring for my own mother.”
Scarlet furrowed her brow. “You’re too kind, Fanny. I don’t think you should go back there.”
“But… if I go back to the Kins Family… Fanny immediately shook her head and glanced at James. “After all, this is my destiny. It’s something I must endure.”
James recalled that his insistence on sending Fanny back to the Lynch Family previously led to this situation. Feeling remorseful, he suggested, “How about this? We’ll rent a house for you in Riverdon, so you don’t have to return to the Lynch Family just yet. The police are still investigating the matter, and they will surely bring you justice.”
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope shone in Fanny’s eyes, though she still appeared anxious. “Will Angela be upset about this?”
Scarlet looked indignant. “What more does she want? You’re already injured like this, returning would endanger your life. Don’t worry, I will talk to her.”
