Chapter 1268
Sonia''s mother summoned a weak smile. "Mrs. Roberts, I have discussed with Sonia''s father about
Rita''s illness. We decided not to treat her anymore. This child has had a hard life. In the following
days, we intend to take her out for a walk and let her experience life so that she will not have any
regrets anymore. We''ve tried our best," she said.
I couldn''te back to my senses. After a moment of confusion, I asked, "Why? I had asked the
doctor, as long as she continued the treatment, there is a possibility of being cured. If you are
worried about the medical expenses, I can be responsible for it. She is still young and has a bright
future ahead of her..."

Mabel couldn''t stop crying. She shook her head and said helplessly, "Even if she is cured, she will
have to take care of both of us in the future. She has a greedy and good-for-nothing uncle as well.
Sonia died because of us. If we cured Rita, the result would still be the same. She will be forced into
a dead end. It''s better to let her enjoy her remaining days and leave this world happily. Life is too
hard. We don''t ever want to live through this again in another life."
I don''t know how to persuade her. Yes, I had forgotten about this. Even if this child was cured, there
is no one for her to rely on. Eason, that useless b*stard, was enough to make her life a living hell.
What''s more, when she grew up, she still needed to look after her grandparents. However, even so,
it didn''t mean that all this couldn''t be solved.
Seeing that I still wanted to persuade her, Mabel looked at me and said, "Mrs. Roberts, I know you
are kind-hearted. Thank you for these days. It''s gettingte. You should go home now!"
I didn''t get the chance to say the words I had wanted to say. It wasn''t my business. I didn''t have a
say in any of this. I couldn''t take charge of a child''s future. I wasn''t qualified to make the decision.
This sense of powerlessness made me feel bad after I came out of the hospital.
My mobile phone was ringing in the bag. It was Naomi calling me. She was as casual as usual.
"Arianna, have you returned to Jarold City? Have you seen Sebastian? He hasn''t called me for
several days. The project in the Lancille Vige was sealed up by the police all of a sudden without
any reason. It was announced as illegal. What happened? Why didn''t youe back after going to
Jarold City?" she spoke.
I sat at the entrance of the hospital, looking at the peopleing in and out. Some were in a hurry,
some were holding newborn babies with gentle and expectant looks on their faces, some were
distracted and some were desperate. The joys and sorrows of the world were all here and none of
the details could be forgotten.
I didn''t know what to say to her. After a long silence, I spoke, "I won''t go there for the time being.
Take care of yourself. Something has probably happened to the Milton family. When Sebastian is
free, he will contact you. Don''t worry."
She sighed and said in a somewhat bored manner, "I was waiting for you toe back. I''m really
bored here, alone in Asherton. My father is urging me to go on blind dates. He is suddenly against
me seeing Sebastian and mentioned that we are notpatible with each other. He did not behave
in this way before. Why did this old man suddenly be like this?"
I opened my mouth, wanting to tell her, but swallowed the words instead. I said, "Master Attwood
did it for your own good. He''s just looking out for you."
After a short chat, I hung up the phone. The sky was slowly darkening. The days were shorter in the
north, especially inte autumn. The weather was getting colder and colder.
