It was a kind of hatred that carried the sharpness of a knife, a desire for them to pay dearly for their actions. That was why she asked William to dig into Wendy’s social connections.
“So you don’t really know what happened back then?” she inquired.
Wendy nodded. “I don’t know the exact details, but I do know Arabella was bullying Sunny, and… she even went as far as getting some thugs from outside the school to… rape her.”
Wendy practically spat out the last few words, her teeth clenched in fury. Each word dripped with contempt.
When Wendy first found out that Miranda was the daughter of the Hawke family, she hesitated for a moment. But seeing their mutual animosity, she realized they weren’t cut from the same cloth.
She understood that Miranda, like Sunny, was another victim of the Hawke family’s cruelty. That was why Wendy went out of her way to be kind to Miranda, paying extra attention to everything concerning her.
Miranda glanced at the sleeping Sunny. Judging by her current state and her previously blank stare, it was clear her brain and nervous system were in turmoil.
Mental illness leading to psychological disorders, coupled with poor physical health, could severely impact the
nervous system.
But for Miranda, curing her wasn’t a big deal; it seemed pretty straightforward. Even though she could restore Sunny to a semblance of normalcy, the root psychological issues remained unresolved.
In another word, she could address the psychological disorder caused by mental illness, allowing her brain to function normally and restoring her nervous system.
But she wasn’t equipped to tackle the underlying psychological issues. Not that she couldn’t intervene; it was more that her methods would involve unnatural intervention, equivalent to forced hypnosis. Not really a good thing for Sunny.
“I haven’t had much money these past few years, couldn’t afford proper treatment for Sunny, so I just bought some medication from time to time,” Wendy sighed. “It hasn’t been very effective, but it’s better than nothing, I guess.”
“I can cure her condition, but,” Miranda looked at Sunny. “I’ll need some compensation.”
Wendy’s eyes lit up; she exclaimed with excitement, “What kind of compensation, Miranda? Tell me, if it’s within my power, I’ll definitely do it for you!”
Miranda assessed Wendy from head to toe. The scrutiny made Wendy feel a bit awkward.
“As payment, work for me for three months without pay.”
Wendy thought she heard wrong. “Is that all?”
Miranda tugged her lips. “What, too much for you? Then I’ll just…”
Wendy quickly interrupted, “No, no!”
She was so excited she almost burst into tears. “I just thought you were asking for too little.”
Miranda cut her off, “Just to clarify, I can only heal her physical and mental ailments. Her psychological issues, she needs to work through herself. Plus, psychological problems can lead to physical ones, that’s a given. If her psychological issues aren’t addressed promptly, she could end up right back where she started.”
It was similar to depression and other related mental illnesses. When psychological issues became severe, they inevitably caused adverse physical reactions, hormonal imbalances, and so on. They could even affect the brain and nervous system to some extent.
So it was not as simple as saying, “Just think positive, and you’ll be fine.” The physical pain was real, not an illusion or a mere figment.

Wendy nodded, whispering, “I’d be overjoyed just to see her physically well again. I’m so afraid that if she continues like this, she’ll end up a shell of her former self, a shadow of a person.”
Miranda chuckled. “Alright then.”
Those wronged by the Hawke family, they need someone to stir the pot a little.
Sunny and Cathy were just innocent girls caught in Arabella’s crosshairs. Piling up their sins was the only way
to ensure the Hawkes faced the consequences they deserved.
