Hannia returned to the Hawkins residence with Yulia, looking at the gates that were usually open but were now tightly closed. She felt a whirlwind of emotions inside her.

This was where she grew up. Claiming she had no attachment would be dishonest. It was impossible to sever all connections completely. She had strived to detach herself.

Yet, when she heard that her once-strong grandfather was suddenly facing amputation, she knew she had to come back, both emotionally and rationally.

"Let's go," Yulia said as she led the way, noticing Hannia hesitating behind. Hannia nodded briefly, expressionless, and followed her

Inside the tightly closed gates, as soon as they entered, they saw the bustling servants moving in and out. They were all surprised to see Hannia return.

They wondered, Didn't Ms. Hawkins leave after a fight with Mr. Hawkins the last time? Mr. Hawkins is bedridden. She must have come back to check on her grandfather.

Not far away, from Garrick's room, cries of pain echoed intermittently, sounding utterly miserable. Hannia glanced in that direction.

Just then, Gina came out of the room and spotted Hannia with excitement. "Hannia, is that you? Did you really come back? Did Yulia bring you back? That's great." Hannia awkwardly looked at her mother and tried to change the subject. "Well, I'll go check on Grandpa."

Gina snapped back to reality. "Oh, yes, of course, you should go

Hannia nodded slightly and headed toward Garrick's room. Inside the room, besides Garrick, who was lying in bed, groaning in pain, there was also Rita sitting calmly on the sofa.

Yulia and Gina followed closely behind Hannia. As soon as Hanna walked in, Rita looked up and said, "Hannia, you're back. Go and check on your grandpa."

Hannia agreed and walked over to the bed. When she saw her grandpa's left foot, which had turned black and was severely decayed, she couldn't help but frown.

Garrick was still groaning in pain, and when he saw Hannia return, he didn't pay her any attention.

"Grandpa, how are you feeling?" Hannia asked, looking down at his foot. Carrick didn't respond. He just kept on shouting. "It hurts. It hurts so much. Hannia suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

Rita slowly got up, walked to Hannia's side, and patted her on the shoulder. "Hannia, your grandpa's like this, your sister isn't around, and there aren't many people left in the Hawkins family Why don't you come back?"

At this, Hannia jerked her head up, a hint of panic in her eyes. "Grandma Rita, I can't. I've seen Grandpa. I need to leave now. Yulia, I've seen how Grandpa is, and there's little I can do. Could you please take me back?" With that, Hannia started to turn away, Gina became anxious. "Hannia, please, I am pleading with you to stay." Yulia also joined in to persuade her.

Only Rita turned around calmly. "Hannia, come here. I want to have a word with you."

As soon as Rita finished speaking, Hannia, who was about to keep walking, stopped suddenly, looking like the light had left her eyes. 08:59 Thu, Dec 19

Gina knew what was happening but still watched her with worry

Yulia, seeing this for the first time, paused to think and then realized that her grandma had bewitched or used some mind control on Hannia.

Indeed, Hannia started to slowly turn around, her eyes vacant as she walked toward Rita.

Yulia was startled once more, realizing how powerful this kind of magic was, fully capable of controlling a person's mind. She watched Hannia's puppet-like movements without blinking

Rita watched Hannia come over and smiled with satisfaction. When Hannia came close, she spoke slowly, "Good girl, tell me where have you been staying lately and who have you been with We've been searching for you for ages!" After Rita finished speaking, Hannia slowly replied, "I've been staying at a narcissistic guy's house, with him, his assistant,

and me."

Hearing this, Rita wrinkled her nose in disapproval. "Who is this narcissistic guy, and who is his assistant?"

Hannia replied, "The narcissistic guy is Nolan, and his assistant is Torin. Torin is really nice to me. He's not just an assistant. He's also family to Nolan. He even brings me a milkshake and helps with mopping and household chores." Rita was clueless about the thoughts swirling in Hannia's mind. Her words were peculiar, so Rita went straight to the point. "Alright, Hannia. Did those two help you get rid of the cursed worm?" Hannia shook her head. "No."

"Can you tell me who helped you get rid of the cursed worm?" Rita asked again.

Hearing this, Hannia seemed to lower her head and slowly shook it.

"Rita," Hannia doesn't want to say.

Could it be that she doesn't know?" Gina commented from the side.

Rita also felt a bit puzzled. She thought for a moment before speaking again, "Come on, Hannia. Lift your head and look into my eyes. Come on. Look into my eyes."

Rita spoke gently, and after a few seconds, Hannia indeed looked up again. Her vacant eyes met Rita's deep, unfathomable

gaze.
