Darkness.Silence.Faint squeaking sounds in her ears.
The closed space filled Lenora with endless fear.
Her breathing became rapid,and cold sweat covered her forehead.She could only curl up,trying to find a little sense of safety.
It felt as if she were the only person left in the world,with fear surrounding her completely.
Just when she felt she was about to lose her mind,the bodyguards finally opened the door.But instead of letting her out,they threw her into the Steele Family’s main house.
Dale’s mother beat and scolded her as she lay weakly on the ground.
“You useless woman who can’t even bear a child!You almost killed my precious grandson!If I had known you were this vicious,I would have stopped you from entering this family even if it killed me!”
“You evil woman!Are you only happy if the Steele Family line ends with you?”
As she spoke,she grabbed a whip and lashed it at Lenora,using all her strength with every strike.
In the Steele Family’s main house,Dale’s mother was the only authority.No one dared to stop her.
Lenora was beaten until she was covered in blood,with nowhere to hide.She could only grit her teeth and endure it.
But her body was already too weak.Soon,she lost consciousness and fainted.
When Lenora woke up again,she was already lying on a hospital bed.
Noticing that she had awakened,Dale,who had been guarding her for an unknown amount of time,quickly reached out to check her forehead.

With guilt in his eyes,he took out a delicate box.
“Megan heard that you were hospitalized and felt very sorry.She specially chose this gift for you as compensation.”
After opening it,a chubby porcelain doll with bright red lips and white teeth appeared,looking cute and innocent.
But the moment Lenora saw the doll,she thought of the child she had lost.Her heart twisted with pain.
“Take it away.I don’t want it.”
Her voice trembled with emotion,and while pushing it away she almost knocked the porcelain doll over.
Dale’s face immediately turned cold.
“What more do you want?She has already apologized.”
Megan,who had just walked in,spoke with a pretend look of sadness.“It’s okay.I know she didn’t do it on purpose.She’s just…”
