Chapter 418


    “It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m fine now, mom. Don’t worry.” Thssa walked over to Evelyn, her hand lightly


    tracing the curve of her back, aiming to soothe her.


    Evelyn knew better than anyone else that Thssa was just putting up a brave face to keep her from


    worrying too much.


    Evelyn raised her hand to wipe her teary eyes. “As long as you’re okay, that’s enough. Just be careful


    in the future and don’t get hurt again.”


    Then she stood up and headed towards the kitchen, her demeanor somber.


    She knew her daughter was struggling, but what could she do? The family depended on Thssa for


    their livelihood. Even if she felt heartbroken, could she really do anything to help?


    The feeling of helplessness was overwhelming.


    Thssa watched Evelyn’s retreating figure and felt a heartache.


    If only she were stronger and more capable, her mother wouldn’t have to bear so much worry and


    hardship.


    “Thssa, it’s okay. Things will get better.” Herthaforted her, her hand gently squeezing


    Thssa’s thin shoulder. Her lips curved in aforting


    smile.


    Hertha had spoken out earlier in defense of Thssa.


    But seeing Evelyn’s disheartened demeanor, Hertha realized why Thssa was so hesitant to reveal


    her struggles.


    She didn’t want to burden her family with her problems, knowing they couldn’t help her but would only


    feel more worried.


    Even Hertha felt the same, though she felt for Thssa and defended her, she couldn’t do anything to


    change the situation.


    Their excessive worry only added to Thssa’s stress.


    Thssa turned to Hertha, her eyes filled with gratitude.


    She thanked her for herforting words, and she believed that things would get better.


    The mood in the room was somber. Atticus and Dorian, who had been eagerly hoping to hear Thssa


    reveal how she’d gotten hurt, exchanged a nce of silent agreement when they didn’t get an answer.


    Atticus: Mom was treated unfairly by Lysander.


    Dorian: That’s right.


    Atticus: Poor Mom. With her injuries, she still has to work.


    Dorian: Yeah, Mom is so pitiful.


    Atticus. She must’ve identally broken Lysander’s antique worth billions, and he’s bullying her for it.


    Dorian: That’s right.


    Atticus: We need to find a way to pay Lysander back for Mom, then she won’t be bullied anymore.


    Dorian: Let’s find a way!


    After their silent agreement, they nodded at each other determinedly.


    “Alright, let’s not talk about these unhappy things anymore. Today, Elowen won first ce, let’s all


    cheer up and celebrate for her!” Hertha raised her-voice to lighten the mood.


    Thssa also smiled. “That’s right, Elowen is the best. Today, we should each sing a song for


    wen.”


    “I’ll go first!” Sophia raised her hand cheerfully. “I’ll sing the new song I just learned!”


    Sophia said in her adorable little voice.

    After she finished speaking, she started singing. Despite her unclear pronunciation, her melody was on


    point, making Thssa chuckle and Hertha bend overughing.


    The two women shared a knowing nce, amusement twinkling in their eyes.


    Sophia finished her song quickly.


    Thssa and Hertha immediately apuded.


    “Sophia, you’re amazing. Your song was beautiful.” Thssa said.


    Hertha agreed, “That’s right, it’s wonderful!”


    “Mhm, it was good.” Elowen nodded in satisfaction, her little head bobbing.
