Chapter 327: His Daughter.
Nicklaus’s hand on Arissa’s waist supported her to keep her steady in her movement. He has spent a lot of time with her to understand when she fakes her strong facade to be strong and when she really is.
He felt power leaving her body the moment he opened the ward door. Though her facade remained strong on the outside, he could tell she was crumbling on the inside.
Arissa felt support from the hold on her waist. She turned to Nicklaus in surprise and when she did, his eyes were also on her. Their gaze tangled and they communicated through their gaze.
He gave her a go-ahead smile when she said a well-appreciated thank you through her gaze. She sincerely felt grateful for his existence.
Laura and Beatrice who were involved in a conversation paused when the couple walked in. They were catching up from where they stopped before they drifted apart and Laura was careful not to spill news that would wostern Beatrice’s health.
Arissa blinked multiple times when she saw Beatrice smiling with her mother. Her fist clenched tightly at her side and she felt like tearing her hypocritical mother apart.
How could she manage to smile at the woman she caused so much damage for no reason?
Laura paused and turned to her daughter, staring at her intensely, Arissa replied to her stare with a glare. Arissa boiled from her inside as her hate towards the woman before hesherew.
She feared for Beatrice’s health. Had it not been for Beatrice’s health, she would have spilled the whole covered-up secret but Beatrice’s health was on the way and she wanted to break the news to Adele first.
