Something shifted in Emerence’s expression briefly, she smiled and replied, “Thanks for your concern, Madam, but

I’ve already slept a bit just now. I’m not tired.”

“Alright.” Julie approached the bed without another word.

She did not bother the unconscious Madam Stockton and went to Queenie instead. She gently patted her on the

shoulder.

Queenie woke up easily and looked at her with a dazed expression. “Julie? Why are you here?”

Julie spoke softly, “Hey, Queenie, why don’t I watch over her tonight instead? You need to go home and get some

proper rest. You can come back tomorrow.”

Queenie rubbed her sleepy eyes. “No need for that, I’ll just stay here and be with her. Thanks for the offer though,

you can go back if you want to.”

“I’ll take care of her, don’t worry about it.”

Queenie smiled. “I know you’re trying to help, but I don’t want to leave her right now, I just want to stay by her side.

Besides, I’m sure there are many things you have to deal with at home. Why don’t you go back?”

Julie hesitated.

Emerence suddenly chimed in. “Second Madam, I think the lady is right. We need someone at home to keep an eye

on things now that Madam Stockton isn’t around at home. We’lll stay over here and keep watch.”

Julie gave in. “Alright.”

She put down a tray of food she brought with her and offered it to them. “Here you go, I brought some supper for

you two. Make sure you don’t starve at least.”

“Thank you, Julie.” Queenie thanked her sincerely and added, “You should go home, it’s late.”

Julie smiled nicely and reminded Queenie to take care of herself again before finally leaving.

A bodyguard was posted by the entrance.

Upon leaving, Julie turned to the bodyguard and thanked him, “Thank you for your hard work.”

The bodyguard was flattered and replied, “I’m just doing my job, no need to thank me.”

She smiled and added, “Keep up the good work then. Make sure you keep a good eye on them. Queenie can be a

little inattentive sometimes. If Madam Stockton exhibits any signs of movement, please contact me immediately.”

The bodyguard found this to be a rather odd request. What sort of movement was a person in a vegetative state

supposed to display?

He was wise enough to not express his thoughts and instead answered dutifully,” Understood, Second Madam.”

With that, Julie went home.

She had initially expected the old hag to die in the collision with the driver. She did not expect her to survive at all.

The good thing was that she was now in a vegetative state and considered as good as dead. Still, it was better to be

cautious and on the lookout for the slim chance that she may wake up.

Inside the ward.

After Julie left, Queenie no longer felt sleepy.

She ate what she could of the food’ given to her as eating felt like a task and she did so numbly. Every time she

looked at her mother lying in a vegetative state in bed, tears would fall.

Emerence tried to console her. “Queenie, it will be alright.”

Queenie choked up and whimpered. “It’s all my fault.”

Emerence remarked, “Why would it be your fault? Surely you’re not responsible for the car accident?”

Queenie held back tears and expressed, “I never should’ve befriended Sherry. When my brother took her back

home, I should’ve chased her out of the house like my mom wanted to back then.”

If Sherry had never been a part of their family, Caprice would have never been taken away, then her mother would

still be up and walking.

Emerence sighed. After a long, harrowing silence, she stated, “You could partially attribute what happened to

Sherry, but the accident was a genuine accident that nobody could have foreseen. Think about this, if not for

Sherry changing her mind at the very last second and deciding to come back, she wouldn’t have spotted the

burning car on the side of the road. Madam Stockton would’ve burned to death in that car with nobody to save

her.”

Queenie was taken aback by this. “What did you say? Sherry rescued my mom from a burning car?”

Emerence verified the story. “Yes, the driver Brandon told me that. I heard the full story from Brandon this

afternoon while Madam Stockton was being rushed to the hospital. He says that Sherry had a change of heart and

decided to bring Caprice back home, and that was when she chanced into the scene of Madam Stockton’s car

burning.”

Queenie’s thoughts went back to the phone call with Sherry.

This certainly explained why Sherry somehow stumbled into the scene of her mother in the burning car although

based on the timeline of the events, she should have been far away from home by then with Caprice. She must

have decided to head back.
