Chapter 6 Sisterly Love In The Lingard Family
“Zack just called her to ask for help decorating our new place, so I came back on my own.”
“That’s so kind of Zack!” While speaking, Hannah placed the pot of soup on the table and beamed. “I
used to be skeptical when your father suggested adopting a child so you wouldn’t get too lonely when
we’re gone, but it looks like he made the right decision.”
Lucille was only five at the time she joined the Lingard family. Perhaps due to the environment that she
had previously been raised in, she was already a very observant child by then.
Because of what she had been through, Hannah would dote on her more, which then led to a young
Michaela’s discontent.

making this!” Michaela commented generously.
She then glanced at her mother, only to see the latter forcing a smile with reddened eyes.
“Mom? What’s wrong?” the younger woman asked worriedly, putting her spoon down.
“Oh, I just thought of how soft and wrinkly you used to be when I held you just after you were born. It
feels like it happened just yesterday, but now, you’re about to get married.”
The memory remained fresh in Hannah’s mind as though it just happened the day before, but there was
no denying that time had flown by.
“Mom…”
“You’re not mad at us for choosing this for you, are you, Mich?”
Seeing her mother’s apologetic gaze, Michaela shook her head fervently. “I’m not. I know you just want
the best for me.”
Her parents had bickered countless times over her engagement with Zack.

But if this wedding could give her father everything he wanted, she would grant him that wish.
Although, this would become the source of her worries which she would bury deep within her heart as
her new life began.
At present, a sudden phone call disrupted the tranquil atmosphere. Hannah wiped tears from the corners
of her eyes, but her expression changed as soon as she heard a cry for help over the phone.
“Lucille? What happened? Lucille!”
Yet, the only response Hannah received came from a deep and alluring but spine-chilling voice. “This is
Jonathan Xander.”
