Chapter 25 Donald And His Family The military zone is situated near the residential area of Harry Holeson High. It only took a tenâminute ride on an electric scooter to reach there.
It felt lik: ages since she last set foot in this place. After returning to the Kins Family in her previous life. Angela never visited again. As she gazed at those oldâstyle buildings, her memories had become somewhat hazy.
Donald lived on the fifth floor of the third row in a threeâbedroom apartment. Queenie rummaged through her bag and realized that she had forgotten to bring the keys when she hurriedly left home. So, she pressed the doorbell. The doorbell rang for a while, and then a middleâaged man appeared in her line of sight. âAngela, come in quickly!â
When Donald saw Angela, joy was evident in his eyes. It was wonderful that she came to live here.
Angela smiled. âUncle Donald.â
At that moment, a middleâaged woman walked out of the living room. When she saw Angela, her eyes instantly turned red.
âAngela, I heard that you were injured and hospitalized recently. Come and let me take a look. Where did you get hurt?â
Hecate pulled Angela into the living room and checked her injuries. When Hecate saw the clear scar on Angelaâs forehead, her eyes filled with heartache.
Girls naturally care about their appearance. Having such a long scar affects her looks. She Hecate wiped away a tear and said with concern. âIs this how your family treats you? They actually kicked you out without any reason. Samuel is also despicable. He vandalized the place where you are currently living. Heâs trying to make your life a living hell.â
âWhat? Thatâs too muchâ Donald clenched his fists in anger. He knew about Angela being kicked out, but he had no idea about their belongings being destroyed.
âI just heard about it at the store. It was done by Samuel. He did it for Fanny because they wanted to snatch Angelaâs Brundelian speech opportunityâ
The Kins Family treated the fake heiress Fanny as a treasure, but they were not close to their own daughter. Donald knew that about them. They used to have minor conflicts, but this time, they went too far. Donald was furious, but he still comforted Angela softly, âAngela, donât be afraid. From now on, just live peacefully with me. As long as we are here, the Kins Family wonât dare to come looking for you again.â
Although George and he were brothers, they had a falling out over a decade ago and hadnât had any contact since then.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Hecate nodded and agreed, âDonald is right. Just settle down here. As long as we have enough to eat, you will never go hungry.â
Angelaâs eyes welled up with emotion. It was only with Donald that she could feel the warmth of family. It was a warmth she had never experienced in her previous life, despite trying to please the Kins Family her whole life. The more Donald and Aunt Hecate cared for her, the more guilty she felt.
In order to please the Kins Family, she deliberately reduced her interactions with Donaldâs family. But they didnât hold any grudges and continued to treat her well. She realized how foolish she had been in the 15:54 Wed, 28 Feb G G Chapter 25 Donald And His Family 3.37%
past. Instead of enjoying a life where she was loved and cared for, she chose to be a servant. Angela blinked and said, âDonald, Hecate, it wasnât them who drove me out. I came to the realization myself and didnât cant to stay in that household anymore.
Queenie poured two cups of warm water and handed one to Angela, speaking softly. âItâs best if youâve come to this realization on your own. The Kins Family is heartless. After they treated you like that, thereâs nothing worth holding onto.â
Taking the cup, Angela took a sip and immediately felt warmth spreading through her body. It wasnât just her physical body, but her entire heart was enveloped in warmth. That longâlost feeling seemed to have returned all at once.
âQueenie is absolutely right. In this family, no one will tolerate any mistreatment towards you. If you have any needs, please donât hesitate to let us know. Consider this place your own home. Holding Angelaâs hand. Hecate gazed at her with a tender expression. She had watched this child grow up since she was little, and Angela had always been obedient and sensible. Hecate couldnât comprehend how the Kins Family could be so heartless and do such despicable things to their own daughter. Despite Fanny being raised by them for over a decade and having a closer relationship, blood is thicker than water. Angela was Hecateâs sisterâinâlawâs flesh and blood. How could she not love her own flesh and blood and instead shower affection on a cunning outsider?
Hecate still vividly remembered when Angela was first brought back; she was thin, quiet, shy, and introverted. Initially, her sisterâ
inâlaw felt sorry for her, but gradually, she favored Fanny more. She believed that Angela was timid and lacked confidence, and she didnât possess the charm that Fanny had. Angela was reserved, so Scarlet didnât warm up to her.
It was Charlotte who noticed that Angela wasnât thriving in that household and brought her back to raise her. She raised her for several years. It was only when Charlotteâs health deteriorated that Angela was sent back. But how long had she been back before she was forced to leave again? Hecate felt extremely uneasy.
Donald entered the kitchen, tied an apron around his waist, and said to the others, âYou guys chat. Iâll start cooking.
Hecate took out the fruits from the refrigerator, washed them, and arranged them on a fruit tray in front of Angela. âJust make yourself at home. Help yourself to anything you want to eat or drink. If you need anything, just let us know. Donât feel like a stranger.â
Angela smiled and nodded, saying, âThank you, Aunt Hecate.â
As she watched Donald busily working in the kitchen, Angela couldnât help but think about her uncleâs fate in her previous life, and her heart skipped a beat.
Who would have imagined that he, always strong and healthy, would be diagnosed with lateâstage gastric cancer a few years later? By then, it had become so severe that he struggled to eat, and soon after, he passed away. Reflecting on this. Angela felt uneasy. The incubation period of cancer is excessively long. and she had personally experienced it in her previous life.
Stomachaches were a common symptom, and many people underestimated them, believing that taking medication could alleviate the pain without the need to go to the hospital. Only when the painkillers ceased to be effective did they consider seeking medical attention, but by then, it was already too late. She needed to find a way to persuade Uncle Donald to undergo a physical examination in order to detect and treat it early, thus avoiding so many troubles.
Peeling an orange for Angela, Hecate smiled affectionately. âSilly child, weâre all family here; thereâs not 15:55 Wed, 28 Feb G G7 Chapter 25 Donald And His Family need to be so formal with us.â
Angela took the orange and popped a segment into her mouth. Mmm, it was truly sweet, even sweeter than honey.
The sound of the door opening came from outside; it was Queenieâs grandmother and her brother. Quincy Kins, returning.
âGrandma, Quincy, youâre back. Angela moved in today and will be living with us from now on.â Queenie approached her grandmother, supporting her, and happily introduced Angela to her. âGrandma, this is Angela; sheâs also a part of our family now.â
Observing the elderly person in front of her, Angelaâs heart skipped a beat, and she politely greeted her, âHello, greatâaunt.â
Queenieâs grandmother smiled at her without displaying too much surprise in her eyes, evidently aware that Angela would be arriving today.
Quincy glanced at Angela and coldly remarked, âDid the Kirrs Family kick you out?â
It was like provoking a hornetâs nest. Hecate glared at her own son and angrily slapped Quincy on the shoulder. âCanât keep quiet.â
you watch your words? If you canât say anything nice, then donât say anything at all. Just After reprimanding her son Quincy, Hecate looked at Angela and noticed her composure, which relieved her. She quickly attempted to smooth things over. âAngela, Quincy isnât very bright. Heâs just a simple man. Donât pay attention to him!â
