Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO Novel (Emmanuel Lowe) novel Chapter 518

Chapter 518

“Hello. Are you this girl’s mother? I’m Sarah Quillen. I was just in the area…”

After introducing herself, Sarah gave a summary of what happened earlier.

“Oh… Thank you so much. I… I’ll get you some water!”

The sickly woman tried to get up, but she stumbled back down as she was

too weak.

“It’s fine! Just lie down and rest.”

Sarah quickly eased the woman back down and instructed Suri to give half

the food they brought with them to the pitiful mother–daughter duo.

Suri wanted to object but the steely look in Sarah’s eyes stopped her.

“You’re… you’re so kind! Are you angels who were sent down from heaven?”

The sickly woman was so moved that she began to tear up.

She was ill in bed and couldn’t leave to gather food, so Sarah’s kindness was

a life–saving gesture.

“Not at all. Here, eat something.”

Sarah gave the sickly woman a bun before she began to chat with her.

She found out that the girl’s name was Amy Hedge, and that she was

eighteen this year. Over a year ago, she was sexually assaulted by the village

bully and the trauma led to her mentally challenged state.

The sickly woman wasn’t the girl’s biological mother. She was in fact her aunt,

though she did raise the girl like her own.

Alas, she had fallen ill recently and couldn’t leave the house, so she had no

choice but to let Amy head out in search of food. She didn’t think the village

children would attack Amy.

“Amy’s so lucky that you two came along when you did!”

The sickly woman sighed. “Eastern Star Mountain is too underdeveloped. No

one cares about the village settlements here because we’re too remote.”

“Over the years, a gang known as Star Hounds has taken over Eastern Star

Mountain. Their leader is known as Mr. Hound. He has been oppressing the

people here for many years now!”

“He’s the one who hurt Amy and caused her mental state! And now, even

their children have become so despicable. There’s no more hope for us!”
