SWNOVELS Chapter 61
Abigail looked red when Willow kept singing the same old song and dance, as she stared at her daughter without any emotions, but when Willow screeched and cried so hard, she had this obligation to come to her and comfort her.
“Lam sorry, I to hurt you”
sorry,” Abigail said, she hugged her daughter closely, as she sat down next to her. “I am sorry, I don’t mean
“You hurt me, mother. You hurt me mother,” Willow cried so hard, she was hyperventilating, which made Abigail panic. “Don’t cry my child, don’t cry. I am sorry, okay?”
“You hurt me, you hurt me like how father did, you want to abandon me, just like how father abandoned me, right? You want to leave me here alone, just like father.”
Abigail closed her eyes, she felt tired, but also felt this pang in her chest, Brian didn’t want her anymore and Althea didn’t even want to breathe the same air like her and now, she only had Willow. If she lost her, she had no one else.
She understood about why Willow felt like she had abandoned her, though that was not her intention at all, but she couldn’t help it.
“I am sorry, Willow, I don’t mean to hurt you that way? Abigail kept coaxing her and this time, Willow hugged her mother back and cried in her arms.
“Tooly wanted to repent myself for the mistake I have done, but why no one gave me a second chance, why they didn’t give Ine a second chance? Why they are so cruel, mother? I didn’t deserve this treatment. They should have stopped this torture, right? It has been more than a year and they are still angry with me”
Abigail took a deep breath, she didn’t know what to say to her daughter, but she held her close to her chest, patting her back, like when she did whenever she was upset when she was a child.
But then, there was another memory that flashed before her eyes that she thought she had forgotten about it.
She remembered when Althea and Willow fell from the tree, as they played together when they were only seven and eight.
Both girls were crying because it was evidence that they were hurt from falling from such height, but Abigail only approached Willow because she cried so hard until her face turned red, while Althea tried to hold back her tears.
In Abigail’s mind, she thought Willow was way more hurt than Althea, because she cried so much and so loud, but then to think about it. Willow would cry over small little thing, while Althea would keep her tears and cried alone.
Abigail remembered the look on Althea’s face when she watched her coddled her big sister, while her legs were bleeding and she bit her lip so she didn’t cry sos load
In the end, Willow only left with a few bruses, while Althea had to be bedridden for a whole week because of the incident.
Shifters could heal so fast, but the two of them were so little, thus their healing ability had not yet developed fully, therefore, they couldn’t heal quickly
But to think Althea had to be bedridden for a week, it was
very bad
Yet, Abigail didn’t really concern about her, because Althea had never complained, she was ever since she was little, she rarely complained, if she could say she had never complained at all.
very independent
Therefore, Abigail was way closer to Willow, because she showed her emotions very clear and was a happier child compared
But now, when Abigail thought ab**
about it, she knew how wrong she was, she knew how bad she was to think that it was alright

Chapter 61
for her to treat both of her girls like that,
Her heart ached with regret. If only she could change the way she treated them if only she could turn back time…
“I am sorry, Willow, I am sorry”
This time, her apology sounded hollow because she only repeated the thing that she said earlier and didn’t really mean it. She only did it to appease Willow.
Abigail closed her eyes and more and more memories from when they were little kept flooding back and forth into her mind, she tried to shut it down, but her heart couldn’t stop this strange pain, as if there was someone that grabbed her heart and squeezed it tightly, she was not sure why she felt this way.
Today was the fourth day they were in this town and they had started to work on the long pipe that connected the two towns, if it worked, it would make it easier for the distribution of water supply to the area that needed during this season.
“Have I told you how much I love you and how brilliant you are?” Alex asked, as he sat on the bed and stared at Althea, who was changing her dress after she washed herself.
She looked beautiful and it hurt.
“You have told me a dozen times about that, my king. Althea teased him. She chose a blue night gown, but she didn’t on immediately, instead she glanced at Alex secretly.
Put it
Though on the surface she looked composed and collected, but her heart had been beating so hard, ever since she made up her mind that tonight would be the night she would give herself up completely to him
She didn’t want to think about Killian or anyone else, she only wanted to focus on them.
She didn’t want her trauma on Killian ruined what supposed to be a beautiful relationship between the two of them.
She would be doomed, if even his shadow or the pain that he put her through to mess with her mind.
“Really?” Alex said lightly. “Well, I can say it countless time.”
“Sure..” Althea then gave up the blue night gown when she approached him
