Chapter 1034

Despite her fear, Betty didn’t retreat.

She rushed toward Diana. She stuck out her chest, and said, “Don’t bully my mommy!”

“Me? Bully her?” Cecilia laughed out loud at the sight of the little girl.

Just last night, they were sharing a meal on the same table. Betty even shared her doll with Cecilia. It was pink, with a bow in its hair.

The bow was coming loose, and didn’t look the way it should. Cecilia even retrieved a sewing kit to fix the bow on the doll. Betty had hugged her and thanked her sweetly.

But now, everything had changed the moment Diana was involved.

Betty glared angrily at Cecilia, as if she was the most evil and wicked person in the world.

‘This vixen was the one who bullied me first!” Cecilia yelled.

She wanted to declare her frustrations to everyone, and announced, “Last time, I should’ve dragged her by her hair to the toilet and pressed her head down in the water!

“I should never have spared her!

“So that she could come and seduce my man!”

Her symptoms were triggered once again. She yelled loudly at Betty, clearly hopping mad, “Do you know?! She seduced my man! Your mommy is a bitch!”

Betty’s eyes widened in shock as she stood there, flabbergasted.

She didn’t really understand Cecilia’s swear words. However, she could sense their negative meaning.

She felt helpless.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried, “Mommy…”

Diana was upset. Her heart ached for her daughter. It didn’t matter what Cecilia said to her, and of her —but Cecilia shouldn’t say such things in front of her children!

Diana held back her tears. She bore the pain on her scalp, and waved her hands at the twins. “Quick, go back to your rooms! I’ll go find you in a jiffy.”

Both of them refused to budget.

“Sean!” Diana said.

She was worried that Betty’s condition might relapse, especially when it took so much effort for her to recover.

She urged her son, “Take your sister back to her room. I’ll explain everything to you later!”

The twins continued staying right where they were.

Cecilia’s words had clearly impacted them very much.

Recalling the filthy words almost made Diana cry, for fear that the twins might overthink. “Please, go back to your rooms first, okay?”

She didn’t want her children to see her in such a terrible state.

The appearance of the twins had disrupted Julian’s plan as well.

The sudden turn of events made him grab a pair of scissors. He warned Diana, “I’m going to cut your hair.”

Since Cecilia refused to let go, he had no choice but to cut Diana’s hair.

Diana nodded. “Okay!”

As long as she could take the twins away from Cecilia, she was willing to do anything.

Julian snipped off Diana’s hair, giving her freedom to move. She immediately carried both children back to their rooms.

“Ms. Jarvis is a patient,” Diana explained to them while keeping them in her arms, not bearing to let any of them go. She hugged them tight, and comforted them as she explained, “Sometimes, she might get agitated.”

Compared to Sean, Diana was more nervous about Betty’s mental state. Betty had just regained her ability to speak, after all.

Yet now, Betty had bumped into an expected situation.

Diana looked into Betty’s eyes, worried that her daughter might suffer a relapse. She kept calling out Betty’s name.

“Betty, tell Mommy. Can you understand what I just said?”

Cecilia had been getting along well with Betty during her stay in the villa so far, and was someone whom Betty felt rather familiar with.

Betty did understand that Cecilia was slightly different from everyone else.

For example, she would suddenly break out in shrieks.

Sometimes, she would also grab a knife and stab the plates so hard that they almost broke. After that, she would stop.

Betty once pressed her hand on Cecilia and patted the latter’s back gently, just like how the adults usually tried to coax her and make her relax.

Now, even after a long time, Betty remained silent.

Her huge eyes hardly blinked.

Diana was on the verge of tears.
