Love at First Novel

"Mr. Fraser, go out first. I'll talk to my mother." Kathryn knew that Pedro was worried and concerned about her.

She comforted him, "Don't worry, my mother won't really kill me. I was born by her, and I did something that ruined her plan. I deserve to be slapped by her."

Clarissa didn't really kill her because Kathryn felt Clarissa still cared about their relationship.

Pedro glanced at Clarissa, then looked at Kathryn's red and swollen face with heartache, and walked out silently.

He asked the nurse for some ice and handed it to Kathryn, asking her to apply it to her face.

Kathryn took the ice and said, "I'll apply it. You can go out now."

Pedro pursed his lips and finally walked out.

When only the mother and daughter were left in the ward, Kathryn applied ice to her face and said, "Mom, you must be tired from standing. Pull a chair over and sit down."

Clarissa stared at her for a while, then dragged a chair over and sat down.

"Mom, next time you hit me, can you please not hit me on the face? I'm not pretty enough, and if my face gets swollen, it will be even uglier. I don't even have a man as your daughter, and if you make me ugly, I won't be able to get married and give birth to a daughter. Even if you kill Liberty and the others, you will have no successor."

Clarissa said, "Stop joking with Mom."

Kathryn replied, "I wasn't joking. Mom, I was talking to you seriously."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Clarissa inquired, "When did you wake up?"

Kathryn answered honestly, "When you were mumbling to me and crying. I woke up and pretended to be asleep. It was very difficult to pretend to be really asleep."

Clarissa was speechless.

After staring at Kathryn for a while, Clarissa said angrily, "I did that for your own good! Even if it means losing my life, I can guarantee that the position of the head of the family will fall to you. The descendants of your aunt will never be able to compete with you!"

Kathryn was silent for a moment, then looked at her mother and said seriously, "Mom, don't you think you are wrong? You keep making mistakes, absolutely wrong. I like Liberty, my junior, and I admire her. My conscience also prevents me from watching her being harmed by you. If I can save her, I will of course do so.

Mom, you and my aunt are sisters, and you were raised by my aunt. We are from the same roots, so why are you so eager to kill us? Why do you have to kill us all? Don't say it's for your own good. Did I ask for what you think? Do you need me to do those things for you? Mom, do you know if I want to be the head of the family? Not everyone values power like you do."

"If possible, I really don't want to stay in the Farrell family and accept everything. The rules of the Farrell family are also difficult for me to adapt to. Why do we have such rules? Isn't it good for the capable and virtuous to take the position?"

"Why must she be a daughter of the direct lineage?"

"If a family head has many daughters, it is easy to end up in a situation like your mother's."

Clarissa said coldly, "If you have the ability, you can do it yourself and cut off all the rules that you don't like. Just like the Lafayette family in Meadspring, after the current head of the family came to power, didn't he cut a lot of family rules?"

Kathryn replied, "I do want to, but the position of the head of the family should not be inherited by me. Mom, your position as the head of the family is not legitimate and reasonable. I just want to ask you one question: Was it really you who killed my eldest and second aunt?"

Kathryn already had the answer in still her heart. She still couldn't help but hold onto a sliver of hope, hoping to hear a negative answer from Clarissa. She wanted to hear another truth.

"Mom, if it wasn't you who did it, I would help you clear your name even if I had to sacrifice my life!" Kathryn said seriously.

Clarissa looked at her for a moment and then looked away.

"You are my only daughter, and I don't want you to risk your life. Som what if you have it, so what if you don't? Does it matter?" Clarissa's words were equivalent to giving Kathryn the answer.

The little bit of hope in Kathryn's heart was shattered.

Her two aunts were really harmed by Clarissa.

Clarissa said, "Kathryn, the important thing is that the person:

position of the head of the family now is me, your biological mother!"
