Chapter 604

604 Do Not Forget the Past
Having heard Jenny’s words, Wynter met her eyes. “If I could find your daughter and bring her home,
as well as protect Isla, would you be able to rest in peace, then?”
Jenny paused.
Wynter spoke gently, “The blisters are starting to show. You should know very well that you cannot hide
it from Isla any longer.”
Jenny weighed Wynter’s words, not sure if she should believe her. Her nails had started to turn black.
“You have absorbed too much of the sadness around you. It’s very difficult to maintain your current
condition.”
“If my guess is correct, yoù have begun plotting against the neighbors who frequently mock you. Do
you think Isla will suffer less ridicule when she is gone?”
“Yet, you do not dare go against that man, even if he is the culprit behind all this.”
Jenny’s eyes reddened. “I have tried to mess with him, but it just isn’t fair. Why is someone like him still
alive? As long as he is around, my daughters will be in danger.
“Do you
know what he said? He said that Isla is almost old enough now. In another six months, she can start to
earn money by entertaining the Foplyans since they give out a lot of silver.”
Jenny cried with resentment as she said this. She was filled with hatred. She hated everyone!
“I could kill him for you if that is what you wish,” Wynter told Jenny calmly.
Jenny clenched her hands. “Of course, I wish that he was dead. But if the Foplyans notice that there is
no man in the family, they will take further advantage of us.”
“Then kill the Foplyans, too,” said Wynter without any emotion. “Those who invade Cascadia and insult
Cascadians should pay with their lives.”
It seemed like it was Jenny’s first time hearing such words. She repeated woodenly, “Kill the Foplyans?
No, no one would dare to do that.”
“Really?” Wynter then lowered her gaze. “Isla, what will you do if someone oppresses your sister and
mother?”
Isla answered clearly, “I will protect them with my life. I dare to.”
Waves of hatred surged in her eyes. “Mom, I don’t understand why ten or even 100 of us would not
dare to retaliate against a Foplyan. But I dare to if given the opportunity.”
The Foplyans made Jenny sick and kept Lily from returning home. If she had the chance, Isla would
surely act against the Foplyans.
“Your daughter is braver than you think,” Wynter reflected.
604 De Not Forget the Past
Jenny’s eyes warmed for the first time. She wanted to stroke Isla’s head but remembered her physical.
condition.
Jenny looked at Wynter. “I want to see Lily once more.”
“I will bring her home,” said Wynter without hesitation.
Jenny added, “Wait. I don’t understand the Foplyans‘ intentions, but there seems to be a problem in
their area. They seem to be doing something, but the fact that photos are being taken is true. It was
also reported in the newspapers.”
“It was reported in this newspaper?” When Wynter walked in earlier, she noticed the newspaper that
seemed out of place.
Strictly speaking, those newspapers were not meant for everyone. They carried a strong agenda.
The man in the newspaper was Rory Turner, whom she had met today. In the picture, he was smiling
kindly as he bent over to stop a little girl in a dress. The little girl held a piece of cream cake while
beaming brightly.
In contrast, Isla’s face was bruised, and her clothes were torn.
The little girl in the photo looked like a happy little princess, without worries about food or clothes. The
article in the newspaper read “With the Foplyans‘ help, Cascadians lead a happy life“.
