Chapter 602
“Wynter, we’re here.”
Wynter pushed open a narrow door to find a gloomy alleyway. Everyone here had indifferent expressions.
When they saw Isla coming, an old woman began to shout, “You really want to die, don’t you? You shouldn’t live here anymore if you have the disease. You will rot to death!”
Seeing Isla’s reaction, Wynter knew this was not the first time something like this had happened.
Isla kept her head down and quickly pulled Wynter inside.
Following closely behind Isla, a woman lying on a bed came into view. The woman, Jenny Harwood, was Isla’s mother, and she could be heard coughing. There was an unpleasant smell around the place.
Since Wynter was a doctor, one glance was enough for her to realize that Jenny did not have long to live.
Even now, she was barely hanging on.
Isla seemed to understand Jenny’s condition, too. “How are you feeling today, Mom? The medical hall’s owner gave me some medicinal herbs. I also met a really nice lady today.”
“Do not come over!” warned Jenny while coughing. She propped herself up on hands filled with open
blisters. “Stay there.”
Looking through a curtain, Wynter’s gaze fell on Jenny, who was painfully thin. She was nothing but skin and bones, and she looked lifeless.
The only color in the room was a pair of bright red shoes by the bedside.
“Master, it’s those red shoes,” Leo observed with a tight frown from Wynter’s shoulder, where he was lying. “It is very strange, Master. Why is there no resentment found on her? How was this formation created?”
Wynter had a dark look in her eyes. “Listen to her. Don’t go over there.”
Leo stopped, and Isla stood still as well.
Jenny said to Wynter with an apologetic look, “Thank you for bringing Isla home. Did she trouble she went to the Frenda Concession to sell camellias?”

“No, she is very well–behaved. She has always been thinking of getting the medicinal herbs for you,” Wynter said mildly.
Jenny covered herself with a piece of cloth. “My illness makes it difficult for me to welcome guests.
“Miss, I know you are a good person. Why don’t you see how much money Isla is worth and consider buying her? Her life with you will be better.”
Isla, who was pouring out a glass of water, shouted, “Mom, what are you talking about?”
“Miss, I’m begging you, please buy Isla.” Jenny did not even look at her daughter. Her eyes were red and

tear–filled. “One piece of silver is enough.”
“Mom!” cried Isla as she started to approach.
Suddenly turning fierce, Jenny said, “Don’t call me that. Your sister is much more obedient than you. You.
aren’t worth much, anyway.
“We’re in such dire circumstances that we do not even have food to eat. Raising you is a waste of food.”
Isia could not understand why Jenny, who had always been gentle, could become like this. Her eyes widened, and tears streamed down her face.
Leo, who could not stand seeing a mother mistreating her child, started to get angry.
Wynter glanced at Leo, who immediately yielded but still said angrily, “Master, she is a bad person.”
“Do not take things at face value,” said Wynter. As she was saying this, a loud sound rang out.
The wooden door was kicked open by a man with blurry eyes. He walked in while sniffling like an opium
addict.
“This place stinks! Hey, where did all the money go?”
The man’s shouting was disrupted when he saw Wynter. His eyes lit up. “You…”
“This is Isla’s buyer,” Jenny hastened to explain.
She was worried that harm would befall the good–looking Wynter. After thinking about it, she came up with the only thing that an addict would fear.
“She is the Quinnell family’s daughter. She has come home after studying abroad.”
