Chapter 1461CHAPTER 1461 FAILED AS A MOTHER
"I only suffered some minor injuries. It's nothing serious." Timothy did not want to worry his sister, so he
deliberately concealed the truth from her.
Therefore, Tessa did not dwell on the matter and heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you're fine."
At this moment, Stefania came forward with Gordon in her arms to express her concern for Tessa.
"Comparatively, your situation is far more severe. Your body was initially recovering from your previous
injuries. But, on top of that, you've added such severe wounds to your already ailing body. I'm afraid it
will take at least a year for you to heal completely."
As soon as the words left her mouth, everybody else nodded in agreement.
Timothy was also distraught and suggested, "Why don't you rest for a year or so, Tess?"
"I will take some time to recuperate." Tessa knew that they had her best interests at heart, so she did
not reject the suggestion.
Afterward, she chatted with her family for some time until she succumbed to her exhaustion and fell
into a deep sleep. Since she had just suffered from a bad concussion, it was only natural for her to
need more rest than usual.
Stefania soon left the hospital ward with Gregory and Gordon. On the other hand, Timothy stayed behind.
Needless to say, Nicholas knew the reason why Timothy had chosen to stay behind. He considerately
tucked the blankets around Tessa and walked out of the hospital ward.
novelbinTimothy immediately understood and quickly followed Nicholas out of the hospital room. As soon as
they left the hospital ward, he anxiously questioned Nicholas. "I heard that Edward has found the culprit
who tried to murder my sister."
Nicholas nodded and relayed the entire story without hiding anything.
"It's her?!" Like Tessa, Timothy was highly shocked after hearing the truth. His initial reaction was
quickly followed by a wave of hatred and loathing. He looked at Nicholas with a sharp gaze and forced
his words out through gritted teeth, "That woman has been targeting my sister for a long time. I can't
believe she has not repented her mistakes even after changing her appearance. In that case, we have
to ensure that she will not get off lightly this time."
Nicholas shared the same sentiment. Nobody could get away lightly after hurting his family!
On the other side, Rorion and Hathaway arrived at the airport and immediately headed straight for the
police station without any delay. When they arrived at the police station, they revealed the reason for
their arrival, whereupon the police quickly arranged a meeting for them.
Inside the interrogation room, she nervously sat on her chair and glanced at the door from time to time.
In contrast, he seemed calm on the surface. Nonetheless, he was actually desperately thinking of a
method to help his daughter escape her criminal charges. Not long afterward, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. A police officer escorted
Kathleen into the interrogation room.
As soon as Kathleen appeared, Hathaway stood up from her chair in absolute shock.
"It's really you, Kathleen!" she exclaimed in astonishment. Her emotions were indescribably
complicated at the moment. "You're alive…"
Kathleen had not expected Hathaway to be there. Hence, she was stunned for a moment before she
responded sarcastically, "Why? Are you disappointed that I'm not dead?"
"I didn't mean that. I'm just shocked."
Hathaway tried to explain. The words had just left her mouth when Kathleen's sarcastic voice rang out
once more, "You should be shocked. After all, there has never been a mother like you who failed to
even recognize her own daughter when she is standing right next to you."
Those words stabbed into Hathaway's heart like sharp knives.
Before she could say anything else, Kathleen rubbed salt into her wounds again. "It's normal that you
couldn't even recognize your daughter. After all, your students are more important to you than your own
daughter."
Hathaway broke down upon hearing those words. It was evident that Kathleen harbored great hatred
for her. Yet, at the same time, she knew that she had been extremely negligent. There were so many
similarities between Susan and Kathleen, but she had always assumed that Susan was constantly
imitating Kathleen due to a sense of admiration. "I have failed as a mother for not recognizing you, but I've never considered my students to be more
important than you." Hathaway tried to defend herself, but Kathleen had no interest in listening
whatsoever.
"Enough. Those words might have worked when you deceived me in the past. But, now that so many
things have happened, do you really think that I will continue to believe you?" After saying that, she
ignored Hathaway and turned to look at Rorion instead.
"Daddy, please make these policemen release me. I don't want to stay here for a moment longer." She
begged Rorion and added fearfully, "I'm certain Nicholas knows my real identity by now. He will never
forgive me or spare me. So, we need to return to Vienna as soon as possible."
