Chapter 1726


    Dahlia was irritated and pushed Coco away, “Get off, you wild child!”


    The shove sent Coco tumbling to the ground, hitting her forehead on the corner of a flowerbed, leaving


    a bruise.


    The little girl, now in pain, immediately burst into tears.


    Cordelia was enjoying a stroll in the garden when she heard themotion.


    She instructed Baldwin to wheel her over. Upon arrival, they witnessed Aldorforting Coco, who


    was weeping. It was a sad sight.


    “What happened?” Cordelia frowned and inquired.

    “Great grandma!” Coco called out, her eyes red. She then hugged Aldor’s leg, sobbing quietly.


    Dahlia’s expression changed when she saw Cordelia. She did not expect her to show up. However, she


    quicklyposed herself and said, “Coco tripped and fell. So, she cried and wanted Aldor tofort


    her. Why are you out here, Mom?”


    Aldor did not expose Dahlia as he was stillforting Coco.


    Cordelia nced at her daughter-inw and uttered in disdain, “I came out for some fresh air.” She


    then looked at Aldor and asked, “Aldor, have you settled all the adoption procedures?”


    Aldor nodded, “Once the documents are confirmed, we canplete the process.”


    As he raised his head, Cordelia noticed the handprint on Aldor’s face. She furrowed her brows and


    asked, “Aldor, what happened to your face?”


    “It’s nothing. I identally hit myself when I was getting out of the car,” Aldor replied.


    Just as he spoke, Coco eximed, “No, Uncle Aldor was hit by the old witch!”


    Cordelia raised an eyebrow, “Who’s the old witch?”


    Coco pointed at Dahlia and said, “Her! Great grandma, she hit Uncle Aldor and called him a dog!”


    “What nonsense are you talking about?!” Dahlia broke into a cold sweat and hastily exined, “Don’t


    listen to her nonsense, Mom. We just had a little argument, and she thought I was bullying Aldor.”


    Coco insisted, “I’m not lying, Great grandma. She called Uncle Aldor…”


    Coco had an excellent memory. She repeated what Dahlia had said earlier, mimicking Dahlia’s tone


    and demeanor perfectly.


    Having shared a thirty-year connection with Dahlia, Cordelia was aware of Dahlia’s true nature.


    After listening to Coco’s retelling of the situation, Cordelia remained silent. She raised her hand and


    beckoned her over. Sniffling, she walked to Cordelia’s wheelchair.


    Be good. Uncle Baldwin will take you to wash your face while I talk to Uncle Aldor.”


    Coco nodded and was led away by Baldwin.


    Dahlia felt uneasy, afraid that Cordelia might trust Coco over her. She hesitantly said, “Mom…”


    Cordelia lifted her arm, “Help me up.”


    Thinking that Cordelia would defend her, Dahlia hurried over to assist her.


    However, as soon as she reached out her hand, Cordelia pped her across the face. 1
