At first, Sheena banged on the door and screamed for help. But before long, her strength gave out, and she collapsed unconscious.
The servants, following orders, ignored her silence and they didn’t open the door.
It wasn’t until Amanda casually asked about her that the truth came to light.
Since losing her youngest child, Amanda had suffered from chronic headaches, which had only worsened over the years. But things had slightly improved after Sheena returned from the countryside.
Although Sheena was cautious and distant in the Brooks household, Amanda noticed her daughter often stealing glances at her.
When Sheena discovered her mother’s headaches, she began secretly learning massage techniques during her spare time. Without access to professional instructors, she studied online tutorials instead.
She filled up four or five notebooks with detailed notes and practiced late into the night for two months straight.
To ensure her skills were effective, she tested the techniques on herself repeatedly before shyly suggesting she could help relieve her mother’s pain.
Looking at the daughter she had barely raised, Amanda couldn’t bring herself to refuse and reluctantly agreed.
