With what they all had done to me, I lost my voice.
Only tears streamed down from the corners of my eyes. After they left, I wrapped my clothes tightly around me and thought I would face my death anytime soon. Since then, I never looked at him the same way I looked at him before. The moment I realized it, the time I started never referring to him as my older stepbrother nor mentioning Callum ever again.
That was one of the reasons why every time I started hearing his name, I felt a bit bizarre, as I forgot I knew him.
In the blink of an eye, when I came back to my senses, I happened to see Henry walking past while eating some pancakes. Soon after he noticed me halted from working, he grabbed the whip, ready to strike me once more.
Before Henry could do such cruelty, he caught a glimpse of the servants from the Holden Family mansion; he didn't proceed as he was astounded.
Once Henry understood the reason behind their visit, he had no choice but to greet them respectfully.
"Everyone, look, Vera is somewhat dirty and a bit messy. Wait for me to let the maid clean her up and then return with you," said Henry.
