章節 217: You are Still Edith Qian

Edith watched as Neil disappeared from her eyesight and took a deep breath to calm down. As if realizing that someone was staring at her, Edith turned her left and saw that Hazel was staring at her, unblinking.

"What's wrong?" Edith asked. 

"Auntie Edith," Hazel called her in a whisper. "You look pretty today."

Edith paused before her lips curled into a smile. "Then what about the other day? Am I not pretty as well?"

"Pretty. But today you're prettier." Hazel continued to look at Edith and wonder why does her auntie look a bit different.

After exchanging a few playful words with Hazel, Edith gradually relaxed. When she looked up and found that Sophie was staring at her, Edith was no longer as tense.

Hazel leaned forward and whispered, "Auntie Edith, my grandma is very nice. You don't have to be scared. My uncle said I can stay and protect you. With me around, Grandma will listen to me."
