The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 693

A shadow of unspeakable gloom flitted across Tanya's eyes.

"They see you as a little kid, so they coddle you like one. But I don't treat you as a child. I want you to grow up, stand on your own two feet, to not need Geoffrey, this imaginary big brother, to protect you anymore."

"I don't need Geoffrey. I'm in Elysium now, with Leopold and Angel to protect me. No one can hurt me here. Leopold has arranged so many bodyguards. I've never been protected like this back in Eastwood Heights."

Tanya glanced at the bodyguard standing by the door.

She didn't feel like he was there to protect Skyler, and it felt more like surveillance, watching over him.

Had he sensed something?

"Skyler, your closeness with Leopold makes me so happy. But remember, in this whole wide world, I'm the one who loves you the most. Everything I do is for you."

Skyler challenged her, "Then why do you always make me take medicine that makes me all woozy? And take me to really scary places, where everyone wears masks like demons."

Tanya sighed, "Sweetie, that's because you're sick, and the medicine is what the doctor prescribed for treatment. There's no scary place, no people in masks, and it's all in your head, your hallucinations."

Skyler pouted, "I know the difference between hallucinations and reality. You can't fool me. If I was really sick, then why do I only get sick when I see you? I'm fine otherwise."

Tanya responded, "You get sick at other times too, but you forget. Don't believe me? Ask your mom and dad. Remember those pets you used to have? How horribly did they die? They weren't killed by someone else, and you did it when you were sick, but you don't remember. Your parents were worried you'd be scared if you found out, so they hid the news and said some animal abuser killed them."
