“If you apologize sincerely, I will let her go. Otherwise, I can’t make any promises. It’s unfair that my son is bedridden while your daughter is still full of life, the woman snarled.
“A–Are you not afraid Zachary finding out?”
“If he wants revenge, bring it on!” The woman’s expression was nonchalant, exuding confidence. It was clear that she wasn’t the least bit intimidated by the Fuller family’s influence in Jacaster.
She arched her eyebrows playfully, grinning as she asked. “Have you made up your mind?”
Lenora fixed her gaze on the woman. Her fists, hanging by her sides, gradually tightened as she pursed her lips. Slowly, she said, “Fine, I’ll apologize.”
“I’m sorry.” Lenora gazed at the boy on the bed, hanging her head. “I shouldn’t have been so relentless and unforgiving. I apologize to you and hope for your swift recovery.”
“That’s more like it.” The woman’s face lit up with satisfaction, “Remember, a wise person submits to circumstances. I urge you to keep this in mind and not to constantly show off your abilities, or you’ll end up like your father.”
What a bully! Who does she think she is to mention my father?
Lenora wanted to retaliate, but for Harrietta’s sake, she held herself back.
She walked up to the man, took Harrietta from him, and held her close. “We can leave now, right?”
The woman waved her hand dismissively.
Lenora, with Harrietta in her arms, left the ward.
Upon reaching the elevator, Lenora set Harrietta down and leaned over, gazing at her tiny face. “Were you scared just now, Hattic?”
Harrietta shook her head, burying herself into Lenora, embrace. “As long as you’re here, I have nothing to fear.”
She was aware things turned out this way because of her. Aunt Lenora wanted to stand up for me, that was why she insisted on the boy apologizing, which in turn led to everything after that.
“I’m glad you’re okay.” Lenora held Harrietta, gently stroking her hair. “Let’s go home.”
“Okay.”
As soon as Lenora led Harrietta out of the hospital, Zachary approached with a few burly bodyguards in black trailing behind him.
Upon seeing them, he strode forward, his expression serious as he scrutinized Lenora and Harrietta. “Nora, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”

Harrietta, stepped forward pitifully. She stretched out her arms toward Zachary, pouting. “Uncle Zachary, you’re finally here.”
Upon seeing the band–aids on her palms, Zachary felt his heart ache. He lifted her into his arms, cooing in a soft voice, “I’m sorry I’m late, Hattie.”
Harrietta wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder.
“Don’t be scared.” Zachary gently patted Harrietta’s shoulder, raising his gaze to look at Lenora. “What did that boy’s mother say to you?”
Lenora glanced at him. “She didn’t say much. She just asked me to apologize to him.”
“Do you feel wronged?”
“Hmm?” Lenora raised an eyebrow.
“I can seek justice for you right now.”
After he finished speaking, he glanced back at the several bodyguards behind him.
All she had to do was nod, and he would pursue justice for her, regardless of who was upstairs–whether it was Jasmine or Lenora’s mother.
Given that Lenora hadn’t changed her name and the occasional media coverage, how could Jasmine possibly fail to recognize her? Yet, she still insisted on forcing Lenora to apologize to her son. After abandoning Lenora for over twenty years without a second thought, she was unworthy of being Lenora’s mother.
Before Lenora could even speak, Harrietta was the first to agree. “Uncle Zachary, let’s go take revenge for Aunt Lenora right away!”
Zachary looked at Lenora.
After a moment of thought, Lenora said, “I’m fine, but you should go up there and have that child apologize to Hattie.”
That woman adores her son. Forcing her son to apologize will hurt her the most.
“Wait for me in the car.”
“All right.”
Lenora went to wait in the car, while Zachary, carrying Harrietta, entered the elevator with the bodyguards.
At the entrance of the ward, the leader of the men who kidnapped Lenora and Harrietta earlier and another one of his subordinates stood guard outside.
Upon seeing Zachary approaching with Harrietta, he sensed impending trouble and instantly became
alert.
Ten meters away from the entrance of the ward, Zachary halted his steps. He made a hand gesture and whispered to Harrietta, “Hattie, don’t look.”

Harrietta obediently turned her head away.
Behind him, eight bodyguards swiftly lunged forward, promptly subduing the two men.

The commotion outside caught Jasmine’s attention. “Andy, what’s going on?”
The leader named Andy was silenced by the bodyguard who stuffed a rag into his mouth and could only whimper.
Sensing that something was off, Jasmine was just about to head outside and check when suddenly, the door to the ward was pushed open.
Zachary, carrying Harrietta, walked in.
Jasmine was taken aback, her brows slightly furrowed as she studied Zachary’s face. “Zachary? I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly.”
“You flatter me,” Zachary said, maintaining his composure. “I came specifically to seek justice for Hattie, who was pushed down the slide in the amusement park. I heard that just now, you had Nora apologize to your child. It’s clear that you deeply love your child, and I feel the same way. I hope you’ll understand.”
Jasmine’s expression shifted slightly. “Donovan didn’t mean to do that. From what I can see, Hattie isn’t hurt. Besides, Donovan has congenital asthma and just had an attack, so he’s physically weak. Why do you need to be so petty?”
Zachary didn’t bother to waste his breath on her. Instead, he subtly signaled his bodyguards with a glance.
Two bodyguards immediately approached Donovan’s bed.
Immediately, Jasmine stepped in front of the bed, her voice seething with rage. “How dare you, Zachary?”
“Why won’t I dare?” Zachary raised an eyebrow, instructing the bodyguard to carry on.
Two bodyguards closed in. One pulled Jasmine away, while the other went to grab Donovan.
“Aren’t you afraid of making an enemy of the Hoffman family?” the woman asked.
“I’m not afraid,” Zachary said.
He had already been at odds with the Hoffman family since Ezekiel started targeting the Fuller family for
no reason.
Donovan, whose face was ashen, curled up in the corner of the bed.
Jasmine’s heart ached when she saw Zachary’s bodyguard reach out to drag him over. She cried out, “Stop!”
Looking at Zachary, she suppressed the rage within her “You want justice for your daughter, don’t you? I’ll apologize on behalf of Donovan. Is that enough?”
Zachary paused for a moment, then turned to Harrietta “Hattie, what do you think?”
Harrietta blinked, glanced at Zachary, and turned to look at Donovan, pointing at him with her chubby little finger. “No, he has to apologize.”

Zachary turned to Jasmine. “Did you hear that? She demands an apology from Donovan.”
Jasmine shot Harrietta a frosty glance.

“Mrs. Hoffman, I hope you realize your current situation. It would be best if you could persuade your son. If not, I’m afraid I’ll have to order my men to take action.”
Jasmine gritted her teeth, shooting Zachary a resentful glare before she moved to the bedside. She then whispered a few words into Donovan’s car.
Cautiously, Donovan looked at Zachary and Harrietta before speaking. “I’m sorry for accidentally bumping into you.”
Harrietta pursed her lips. “Fine, I’ll forgive you.”
Zachary shook his head with a smile. “A situation that could have been resolved with just a few words, yet it had to escalate to this point. Now that it’s resolved, I’ll stop bothering you. I’ll take my leave.
He turned to leave with Harrietta in his arms.
The bodyguards, too, withdrew in an orderly manner.
As she watched their retreating figures, Jasmine’s fists clenched tightly, a glimmer of malice flashing in her
eyes.
