Chapter 829
However, this wasn't something Diana felt proud of. Conversely, as his mother, it made her rather sad.
She was unable to protect her two darlings and allow them to live without a care in the world.
Sean soon returned with their meals. He glanced at his sister, who was still fast asleep, his heart aching for her. "
Mommy, do you think Betty will get better?”
Diana had no idea.
In the following days, she cooperated very well with the doctors.
Initially, she was expected to need one month to get better. However, Diana cared for herself so well that she
almost fully recovered in a little over two weeks.
Unfortunately, things didn't look up for Betty.
She often sat in a daze, confused by the words of the people around her. She often struggled with expressing
herself. She was worlds apart from her lively and adorable self.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDiana would read bedtime stories to Betty every night before turning in for the night.
But now, Betty wouldn't even respond to her.
In the past, Betty would always hug Diana, kiss her, and wish her a good night after Diana was done reading
bedtime stories.
But now, no matter what Diana said, Betty gave her no response.
Betty wouldn't call Diana "Mommy", hug her, or rub her body against hers like a cute little rabbit.
Every night, Diana would ask herself repeatedly why she came to Richburgh in the first place. Why did she force
Zachary to apologize to her? Why...was she so incapable of protecting her own children?
No one could give her an answer.
No one could comfort her.
At the last follow-up consultation, the doctor said that it was impossible for Betty to recover in the short-term.
Diana had to provide Betty with a relaxing and tolerant environment that wouldn't put any stress on Betty's psyche.
Diana thought about it, and decided to return to Stirling City earlier than planned.
She wanted to call Simon, and update him about everything that had happened.
Upon recalling Nina and Zachary's words, however, she grew frightened.
She feared that Simon had been lying to her all this while.
Eventually, she didn't not call him before leaving.
Yet, when she arrived at the airport, she was told that she didn’t pass the ticket check.
She purchased tickets for the high-speed rail and the train, but she was also unable to board them.
This was clearly no coincidence.
She asked the staff members in detail, and found out that she had received a complaint from Channing Inc. The
company accused her of owing them money-it was such a huge sum, she was unable to leave Richburgh before the
courts came to a ruling decision.
Diana was lost. "Channing Inc.?"
Wasn't that the company belonging to the family Simon claimed to have raised him since young?
When Diana went to the hospital before, someone mentioned an Oliver Channing and claimed that she used to

Did he have something to do with this?
Just as she was thinking about whether to call Simon or not, a manager of the high-speed rail walked toward her.
"Ms. Winnington, we finally found you."
Diana asked, "Were you waiting for me?"
The manager said, "Yes, this was arranged by Mr. Channing and Ms. Smith. Please wait in our VIP room. They will
both be here soon."
Eventually, only Oliver made it.
He was warm and sophisticated.
Diana had a good impression of him at first glance.
Yet, in the depths of her heart, she could feel a small hint of resistance toward him.
Perhaps it was because he interrupted her travel plans and stopped her from leaving Richburgh.
She wondered if this man might be a wolf in sheep's skin, just like Julian.
"Fanny is busy," Oliver explained, "so I’ve come alone.”
The unfamiliar names spoken in such a familiar tone convinced Diana that Simon had lied to her.
Her mood soured, and she cut to the chase. "Pardon me, but I've lost my memories and don't remember anything
at all. If there were any grudges between us in the past, please be kind and show me some mercy."
