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.
