Chapter 1153
After quite some time, Ralph let her go and said, "Annie, I’ll be waiting for you."
This moved her more than anything.
Hannah looked at him affectionately.
"Okay."
She could not bear to leave, but she had no choice since Heather was the housekeeper.
If Hannah did not do everything she wanted, the woman would not give Hannah the freedom to leave
her sight.
If she wasn’t careful enough and Heather discovered what she was doing, everything she had nned
would fail.
She told herself to be patient for the n to seed.
‘I’ll be free when it happens!’ After ensuring her face was well covered, she took out a mirror and
checked her reflection when she went downstairs.
Seeing her lips slightly swollen, she knew Heather might suspect something was wrong.
After some thought, she neared a roadside garden plot and stared at the concrete edge along it before
she clenched her teeth and mmed her lips onto it.
Jammed between her teeth by the blunt edge, her lips hurt so much that she shed tears.
They soon became even more swollen as her mouth bled.
Checking her reflection a few times, she grew certain that Heather would not suspect her looking like
this.
Back at home, she guessed that Heather hadn’t woken up yet, as Chump was still guarding the
bedroom door on the second floor.
Seeing her enter the house, he only lowered his gaze without saying a word.
Pointing toward the basement, she indicated that she would return to her room and await her sister’s
instructions.
Chump did not answer while Hannah quietly returned to her room.
Shutting her bedroom door, she heaved a sigh of relief and thought that she should have stayed longer
in the apartment if she knew Heather was still asleep.
After some thought, she opened the drawer of her desk, felt about its innermost part, and removed a
small bottle of medicine from a secretpartment.
The medicine that the hospital had prescribed had worked well.
Coupled with the knowledge she had learned about the medicinal qualities of some foods and chronic
toxicity, she believed she would seed soon.
Not only had Heather vomited blood more frequently, but her mental state had also deteriorated as she
became sleepier.
Hannah was surprised by the result, as she hadn''t expected the symptoms to appear so soon.
Hannah knew that since her sister Heather nned to return to the Riggs Estate, it would be tough to
carry out the n again, so she knew she had to move quickly.
She gazed at the bare, shiny bottle as her fingers turned it around.
‘ Yes, I’ve already removed its wrapping.I’m not that dumb, am I?’ She had not wanted to do this, but
her sister had kept pushing her, even though she simply wished to be herself.
‘If there could be only one person left, why can’t that person be me instead of Heather?"
‘We human beings are selfish! It’s about time I be selfish for once!’ Margaret only woke up after
having slept for two full days.
Although she was fine and simply suffered from extreme agitation, she needed a good rest considering
her age and feebleness.
Lily happened to pay her a morning visit when she was waking up.
Surprised to see her opening her eyes, she asked warmly, "Grandma, how are you feeling?"
The older woman blinked, still slightly disoriented to get her bearings.
"Grandma, it’s me, Lily," she said softly as she observed her response.
The doctor told them not to agitate her anymore.
"Oh, all right."
Thinking clearly, she tried to push herself up, and Lily hurriedly helped her.

"Slowly.Are you hungry? Would you like to eat anything? How about garlic bread and mushroom soup?
I’ll get someone to bring them."
Propping up the pillows, she helped Margaret sit up and turned to call a housekeeper when the older
woman held her hand.
"Lily, wait."
Lily stopped and turned around to look at her.
Margaret gazed up at her.
"How long have I slept?"
"Two days..."
