Chapter 116 Sue''s n (Part One)


    Sue''s condition continued worsening with each passing day. It even came to a point where she could


    no longer take care of herself at all. Because of that, Charles hadpletely lost interest in her and


    had no ns to visit her whatsoever. As a matter of fact, he even ordered his servants to have Sue


    moved out of her ce and take her into a rtively remote house. But worst of all, there were only two


    maids taking care of her right now.


    In order to make sure that Hailey would stop looking into the fact that Sue had been poisoned, Charles


    forbade everyone from paying Sue a visit—including Hailey, of course. The way things stood, it was


    rather apparent that he had totally given up on Sue already. Apart from that, Mavis steadily and


    persistently refused to register Hailey as Kelly''s daughter, leaving Hailey feeling extremely irritated and


    worried. If Sue sumbed to the poison, Hailey knew full well that her chances of being registered as


    Kelly''s daughter would be close to none. If it came to that, she would be caught up in an even worse


    situation.


    "My Lady, I just saw Lacy passing by," Tina reported to Harper as soon as she entered the room. "Lacy


    went to meet Prime Minister Charles earlier. It appears that Lady Sue''s condition has been improving


    lately and she wants to see him. But he refused to go and see her."

    "She''s starting to feel better?" Harper asked, feeling a little surprised. After all, she was well aware of


    how the Nightmare worked. Once a person had been poisoned by it, their body would gradually get


    weaker. Yet here Tina was, informing her that Sue was getting better. Could it be because Charles had


    stopped poisoning Sue that her body was starting to recover? Even Harper had no idea. Still, she


    thought she should pay her a visit to see for herself and find out what was really happening.


    The ce where Sue was currently staying in was so quiet and peaceful. With the guards at the


    entrance fast asleep, a ck figure managed to sneak into the house. Who would have thought


    someone woulde to visit this ce thiste in the evening?


    "Lacy, does he still not want toe here to see me?" Sue asked, her voice sounding so weak. Due to


    the poison, she had lost a lot of weight. To make matters worse, she barely ate anything because she


    had no appetite. Right now, she was almost just skin and bones, making her look a bit terrifying.


    Hearing this, Lacy simply shook her head and replied, "I didn''t even get to see him, My Lady. He made


    it obvious that he did not want to see me at all. So, I failed to deliver your message to him. Please


    forgive me for being so useless, My Lady."


    Sue''s face instantly turned blue with anger. As she gasped for air, she said, "He has really turned into


    such a ruthless person. As if it wasn''t bad enough that he left me here despite knowing that I was sick,


    now he even refused toe and see me!"


    Just as she was saying that, the door was suddenly swung open. The two of them were startled by this.


    But when they realized who the person was, a glimmer of hope appeared in the Sue''s eyes.


    "Hailey, did youe here to see me?" Sue asked, unable to hide the excitement in her voice.


    "Mother, I''m sorry. Father wouldn''t let anyone to visit you. I just sneaked in when the guards at the door


    fell asleep," Hailey exined while taking off her cloak and taking a seat by the bedside. "Mother, what


    are we going to do? It feels like Father has already given up on us and he couldn''t care less anymore


    whether you live or die. Mother, what are we supposed to do?"


    "That''s impossible! Your father is not a heartless man! I don''t believe it!" Sue eximed in utter


    disbelief. Up until now, Sue never really believed that her husband would be so ruthless. However, after


    everything that happened recently, she started to realize that Charles was a more ruthless person than


    she originally thought.


    "Mother, you can''t be so naive. Do you have any idea why you''ve been sick all this time? Do you know


    why you have been getting weaker and weaker?" Hailey anxiously said, not having the heart to see her


    mother be so blind. "It''s all because you''ve been poisoned. To be honest, I was suspecting Harper at


    first, so I told Father about it right away. But when I did that, Father simply scolded me. Mother, it was


    Father who has been poisoning you. In Father''s eyes, you have been reduced to a useless stone. He


    wants to get rid of you!"


    "No! That''s impossible! It isn''t true!" Sue yelled out, having a hard time epting the truth.


    "Mother, please pull yourself together. Haven''t you already realized what kind of person Father really is


    after living with him for all these years? The poison you have in your body is called Nightmare. Any


    person who has been poisoned by it will grow weaker as time passes by and will eventually die without


    showing any real symptoms. If my memory serves me right, there is someone else who also died of


    unexinable weakness in this mansion!" Hailey exined everything in detail. Seeing her mother


    unwilling to ept the truth, she was so close to pping her in the face to wake her up. In Hailey''s


    eyes, Sue should know best just how ruthless Charles could be. That being said, Hailey''s main


    purpose for paying her a visit was to ask Sue to help her look for a way to make herself be registered


    as Kelly''s daughter. If it weren''t for that, she wouldn''t have bothereding here at all.


    "Kelly!" Sue blurted out, furiously gritting her teeth. It was only then that she finally remembered a


    person she had almostpletely forgotten about. That was Charles'' legal wife, Kelly. More than


    anyone else, Sue knew full well just how Kelly died. Be that as it might, she never could have imagined


    that she would one day end up in the same situation. "No! I can''t ept this!"


    "Mother, I can''te to terms with this either. Right now, our top priority should be to change Father''s


    current attitude toward us. Otherwise, there will be no ce for us in this mansion anymore." Hailey


    deliberately described the situation in a way that was much worse than what it really was. "Mother, I no


    longer hold any power in this mansion. Right now, Harper is taking care of the family affairs, and


    Grandma just keeps on trying to protect her all the time. I can feel that Father doesn''t like us anymore.


    If things go on like this, I''m afraid that it won''t be long before we''re kicked out of the mansion."


    "No, no, I won''t let us be thrown out. Harper is much too young to be taking over the whole mansion!"


    Sue angrily remarked before coughing up a little. "Hailey, don''t worry about me. When you get back, try


    to find a way to tell your father that I''m gravely ill and worried that no one is around to take care of him.


    Tell him that I want to take some concubines for him before I die."


    When she heard Sue''s words, Hailey''s eyes lit up. Sue must havee up with a n already.


    Nodding her head in agreement, Hailey then said, "Well then, Mother, have a good night''s rest. Rest


    assured, I will definitely ask someone to tell Father. My only wish is that Father wouldn''t be too


    heartless for the sake of the rtionship the two of you shared over the years."


    "You should head back now. I know him like the back of my hand. As long as he gets my message, he


    will surelye to see me," Sue bitterly said. Never would she have expected that the day woulde


    where she would be forced to take more concubines for her husband. Was this what they called


    karma?
