The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1490

A few people were in the hallway outside the door.

Sammy and Harvey asked her anxiously, “Mommy, is Penny okay?”

Neera nodded. “Yeah. She’s just tired from crying. Let her sleep.”

After she finished speaking, she took hold of Sammy’s hand again, examining his wrist. Seeing that the handprint on his skin had faded, she gently rubbed it.

“Does it hurt?” she asked.

Sammy shook his head, blinking. “No, it doesn’t hurt. Mommy, don’t worry. I’m not injured.”

After Neera confirmed it, she sighed in relief.

At that moment, Harvey, who had been silent by the side, suddenly lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, “It’s all my fault. I failed to protect Sammy and Penny, letting them get hurt. I’m not fit to be their older brother at all.’

Seeing him speak so abruptly, Neera was slightly taken aback and subsequently felt even more heartbroken.

She had been so anxious earlier, only managing to attend to the two little ones who were hurt. She didn’t even have time to care for Harvey.

She didn’t expect him to think this way.

She quickly pulled him over, caressing his small face, looking intently into his

eyes.

“Harvey, you can’t think like this, understand? In my heart, you are the best big brother. You are well- behaved and sensible, and you have the spirit of a man. You are the best big brother, the most responsible one. When I’m not around, it’s because you are there to look after your younger siblings that I can be so reassured. So, this is not your fault. You’ve already done well enough. You can’t think like this.”

Harvey, who was always calm and reserved, unexpectedly felt his eyes welling up with tears.

He stared intently at his mother, asking with a hint of uncertainty, “Really? Mommy, do you really not think I’m useless? I…”

Neera felt as though her heart was on the verge of breaking when she saw the self-reproach in his eyes.

She took a breath and shook her head with a smile.

Moreover, you didn’t leave even for a moment. You protected Penny very well. In my heart, you are the brother I respect and love the most. I believe Penny feels the same way.
