Chapter 727

Not even Jareth’s objections could stop Thaddeus from bringing the unconscious Marilla back to Havenbrook.

The incident had caused an uproar throughout the town.

Hamilton’s first thought wasn’t to blame Marilla for the Abernathy family’s loss of face, but to immediately bring his granddaughter to his side, to cherish and protect her, shielding her from the wagging tongues of the outside world.

After suffering such a great shock, Marilla was once more given a sedative, and her peaceful, beautiful sleeping face was a balm to Hamilton’s tear-streaked eyes, as if none of it had ever happened.

“Manilla, it’s Grandpa’s fault; I failed to keep you safe,” Hamilton’s trembling hand caressed the girl’s pale, soft cheek, choking on his guilt.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa Hamilton.”

Evadne’s eyes were also red and moist, “Marilla has not just you to cherish her, but Thaddeus and I to dote on her. We’ll pursue this matter to the end.”

Her fingers clenched tightly, emitting a sharp crackling sound, “Anyone involved in this, anyone who hurt Marilla, I will make them pay dearly!”

Ms. Ashbourne was not one to break her word, and her words always came to pass

“It was people from the Fairhaven family’s doing.”

Although Hamilton was advanced in years and frail in health, his mind was as sharp as ever, his back teeth grinding in anger, “Even if they didn’t want Marilla marrying in the Fairhaven family, they had no right to mistreat her like this! They dare to bully my granddaughter, llana, you don’t need to lift a finger; I will handle this myself!*
