Chapter 1197 Useless

A moment of musing later, Siobhan nodded. "I understand."

Rita looked at her and sighed. "You've been so busy, you neglected Evelyn. She's raised under thecare of the Wrenns, and yet she turned out to be… You know part of it is your responsibility, don't you?"Rita reproached.

Siobhan hung her head low, not arguing. Rita was right. She had placed a great deal of focus on hercareer and neglected her child. Evelyn had unbridled freedom, and because of that, she turned out tobe a reckless woman who did everything without thinking about the consequences. She only did whatshe felt like, and now she was nothing but a willful and overgrown child.

Rita looked at her silent daughter, and she sighed. She couldn't go down on her too hard. "Nicole andColton's going to Durobrivae in a few days. You should take Evelyn back to the Wrenn Residence. Youand not anyone else. No one can keep an eye on her." She has to stay away from them, or the couplewill never know peace.

Worried about Rita, Siobhan asked, "What about you—"

Rita raised her hand. "I know, and so what? You are not God. You cannot heal me."

Siobhan had mixed feelings about that, but she agreed to the arrangement.

Noon came. It was a sunny day, the afternoon sunshine shining warmly upon the land. Nicole andColton were basking under the sun. Thanks to the rest, they were getting better. Still, Colton'smemories didn't show any sign of returning.

Just when they were in the middle of the chat, Evelyn came up to them, huffing and puffing, and shewaved at Colton. "Oh, you're here too, Colton. It's a nice day today, so why don't we walk together?"Evelyn broke out into a sweet smile, speaking softly. And she huddled closer to Colton.

Colton looked at her, but he didn't refuse her. "I'm almost fully recovered. It's time to leave."

The fact that he was leaving made Evelyn's face fall, and she pouted at him. "Where are you going?Take me with you? It's not like I have anything to do at home. It's boring."

"I can't," Colton refused. He was going with Nicole to regain his memories. Not to mention his motherand Madam Gould told her to stay away from Evelyn. He couldn't remember what Evelyn did, but ifeveryone was telling him to stay away, she had to have done something pretty big. He was only politeto her because she saved his life. Or according to what remained of his memories, she saved his life.

Evelyn thought he would say yes, so the refusal made her frown a little, and she puckered her lips."Colton—"

Before she could finish, Colton frowned. "Enough. I am not taking you along."

Shocked by the solemnity, she looked up in fear. Did he remember everything? The thought alonealmost made her jump. She scrutinized Colton carefully with pursed lips. She wanted to ask himsomething, but she held her tongue.

The moment he realized that he might've sounded too harsh, he softened his tone and calmly said, "I'mgoing for treatment. It's not like you can help even if you were to come."
