Chapter 266
The two of them exchanged a few more words before Matthew ended the call. However, he did not bother informing Cillian of Lucy's situation out of pettiness.
Since Cillian did not take good care of Lucy, Matthew maliciously let Cillian worry unnecessarily for a while.
With peace of mind, Matthew closed his eyes and rested for a while. Meanwhile, Lucy spent the night wide awake, staring at the ceiling.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Seemingly struck by a thought, Lucy got up and walked to the large dressing mirror.
'I should be plenty stimulated right now, right?' Lucy thought as she carefully lifted her pajamas.
She twisted her body to look at her back in the mirror. Though it was not obvious, she could discern the feather-shaped birthmark on her back. Lucy murmured to herself, "So it's true..."
It was the second time she learned about this revelation, yet her emotions were still as calm as the first time. There was even a hint of relief and understanding as if a burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
Since she was a kid, she always had to give in to Luna. Whenever Luna was unhappy, she would be scolded for not being a good sister. Whenever Luna wanted something, Lucy had to obediently let her have it, even if it meant giving up something she cherished. Initially, she thought her parents were just showing favoritism.
As long as she continued being nice to her younger sister, her parents would surely notice. Now, Lucy realized that it was not the case at all. No matter how hard she tried to fit into that household, she had always felt powerless.
Despite her efforts, whenever she mentioned that she was the eldest daughter of the Quinn family in front of others, she would always be met with disdain and ridicule.
Melanie and Zachary did not even bother to pretend. Luna was the cherished pearl of the family, while Lucy was nothing more than dust in the wind. Even if someone wanted to seek favors from the Quinn family, they would not go to Lucy to get them.
How absurd. Lucy could not help but sneer. Well, it was for the best. She could just cut ties with the Quinns from now on.
She would find time to settle all the debts she owed them.
Even after losing her memory, Lucy made the same decision. There was no sadness in her heart, only acalm calculation on how to deal with her
persistent and shameless parents.
As she pondered, she suddenly realized something. Wait a minute, she was already considered dead to the outside world.
That meant that she had no ties to the Quinn family anymore. She did not expect being 'dead' to come with benefits.
Lucy chuckled at the thought, almost feeling like she was in a dream. Amidst her amusement, there was a gentle knock on the door. "Who is it?"
Lucy stood cautiously at the doorway, peering through the hole. A gentle female voice came from outside.
"Velda, are you asleep?"
It was Juliana. Lucy quickly opened the door and was greeted by her warm smile.
Worried that Lucy might feel apprehensive, Juliana hurriedly explained, "Um, Velda, I just wanted to check if you were sleeping well."
After regaining her precious treasure, Juliana could not get enough of her.
"I'm fine, Your Majesty. Please, come in."
Lucy hastily invited Juliana into the
room. After finding out about her true identity, she seemed more willing to get to know her biological parents.
Feeling pleasantly surprised, Juliana entered the room while her gaze remained fixed on Lucy.
She would never get tired of looking at her daughter.
However, once she was inside the
room, an awkward silence fell between them. Juliana had
countless things she wanted to say to Lucy, but the words seemed to be stuck in her throat.
Despite being mother and daughter, they had been separated for so long that they could not help but be awkward.
