Chapter 219 I Won’t Let My Fate Be Sealed
Fanny revealed a graceful smile.
She helped Scarlet to sit on the couch and asked, “Mom, how did it go? What did Angela say?”
Everyone knew that Scarlet went to the hospital today to ask Angela to save Zacharias.
Fanny was also very concerned about this matter and waited at home specifically for it.
Scarlet’s mood seemed off, prompting Fanny to inquire. “Mom, what’s wrong? Is everything not going well?:
It seemed like Scarlet had been crying.
Fanny suddenly had an ominous feeling in her heart.
Before she could ask, she heard Scarlet say gravely, “Fanny, I want to discuss something with you.”
Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this matter also involved her?
“What, what is it?” Fanny felt uneasy. She held Scarlet’s hand and comforted her softly, “Mom, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Christopher and I are trying to figure out ways to help Zacharias and Samuel. Even if Angela doesn’t help, we can still replace a solution. It’s just that Christopher has been hospitalized recently, so he doesn’t have much energy.
She tried to remind Scarlet that no matter what, she was the future lady of the Sanders Family, so she shouldn’t hastily agree to any requests from the other side just because of a few words from Angela.
Scarlet still looked a little dazed. She gritted her teeth and seemed to have made up her mind. She looked at Fanny with a somewhat heartbroken look in her eyes and then slowly said, “Fanny, only Angela can cure Zacharias‘ illness now, so I went to beg her today.”
Fanny felt flustered and dared not make eye contact with Scarlet. She quickly said, “I understand.”
“She said she wants you to move your household registration out of the Kins Family and back to Mike’s family before she is willing to help save Zacharias.”
Fanny’s heart was suddenly in turmoil, and her voice quivered, “You agreed?”
“I…” Scarlet choked up. She had only given me one day to consider. I had no choice but to

agree.”
Fanny’s fingers trembled slightly, and a hint of reluctance and disappointment flashed in her eyes. “Mom, are you really going to make me leave the Kins Family?”
“Fanny, I’m also in a difficult position.” Scarlet lifted her head to look at Fanny. “But, right now, this is the only way to save Zacharias.”
Fanny’s eyes turned red, and she immediately hugged Scarlet, silently expressing all her reluctance.
She felt Scarlet gently stroking her hair and comforting her in a warm voice, “Fanny, don’t worry. It’s just a temporary measure to deceive Angela. Once she cures Zacharias, we will immediately move your household registration back. This is my promise to you.”
Fanny sobbed softly in Scarlet’s arms. “Mom, I can’t bear to leave you.”
That was what she said, but in a place where Scarlet couldn’t see, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she also became cold.
All the promises and love were fake.
Usually, they were all talk and no action, but when it came to a crucial moment, she was the one being abandoned.
Indeed, whether it was an adopted daughter or a biological daughter, they were not as important as Scarlet’s sons.
Scarlet sighed softly. “Fanny, there’s nothing we can do about this situation now. Joseph said. it himself: Zacharias is beyond help in the hospital. If Angela doesn’t intervene, he’s just waiting to die.”
Thinking about this, Scarlet felt a deep sense of sadness.
One son was about to go to jail, another son was lying in the hospital waiting to die, and what made her feel even more hopeless was that her husband didn’t care about of it.

What sins had she committed?
“Why is Angela behaving like this? Does she despise me?” Fanny’s voice was muffled and tinged with bitterness, making Scarlet feel even more uncomfortable.
Scarlet’s eyes turned cold, and she said with a hint of disdain in her tone, “That’s just her nature. Living in a small town for too long has made her narrow–minded. Whenever she has the opportunity, she will make things as difficult as possible for us. Even though she’s my

own flesh and blood, she’s nothing like me at all.”
In comparison, Fanny, who was not her biological child, was much more sensible and kind- hearted.
Fanny stood up, wiped away her tears, and said, “But, but… you know what kind of person my biological mother is. She was already unhappy about the engagement, and if I really moved. in, she definitely wouldn’t treat me well.
She couldn’t refuse to change her household registration. Refusing wouldn’t bring any benefits, and it would only upset the Kins Family. So, at least on the surface, she had to agree
to it.
But she absolutely couldn’t move in with the Lynch Family.
After some consideration. Scarlet said, “I understand. Just changing your household registration will do. You can still continue living with the Kins Family.”
Fanny bit her lip and furrowed her brow lightly. “Angela won’t agree. She hates me so much that she will definitely make things ditlicult for me. Mom, if we do things according to her wishes, I don’t know if I can survive.”
Tears welled up in Fanny’s eyes, and she was overwhelmed with sadness.
Observing Fanny’s distress, Scarlet felt a pang of sympathy and her eyes involuntarily welled. up with tears. “Fanny, it won’t come to that. Don’t worry, you still have your older brothers. They’ll take care of you. Plus, we’ll move your household registration as she requested. If she still refuses to let you stay with the Kins Family, then she’s being unreasonable.”
Fanny’s expression turned somewhat icy, but Scarlet seemed oblivious to the situation.
Now, it was Angela who had the upper hand. She could call the shots, couldn’t she?
Fanny composed herself and said understandingly, “Mom, don’t worry. I’m willing to do anything to save Zacharias, even if it means selling blood or kidneys.”
Relieved by her commitment, Scarlet nodded. “You’re a good girl. I knew you’d agree. You’re a wonderful daughter, and I’ll always treat you right.”
But, Mom… Fanny hesitated. “Wouldn’t the Sanders Family have even stronger opinions about me if they found out?”
Scarlet shook her head reassuringly, “Don’t worry, I talked to them about it. They understood.”
Chapter 219 I Won’t Let My Fate Be Sealed
Fanny forced a smile as she nodded.
To hell with understanding! she thought furiously.
With Samuel in prison, there was no escaping it. It was a criminal offense, and coming out meant being a convict. Her future father–in–law, Michael, already had strong opinions about the matter, openly and subtly mocking her for disgracing the Sanders Family.
If I lose my status as the adopted daughter of the Kins Family, can I still marry into the Sanders Family? If not, will my life be ruined?
She didn’t dare to gamble on Christopher’s love for her. After all, his status was quite awkward.
No! I absolutely won’t allow things to go in that direction. I can’t just sit around waiting for my fate to be sealed. I have to do something about it, Fanny whispered in her heart.
