The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 602

"Wynter, we're here."

Wynter pushed open a narrow door to find a gloomy alleyway. Everyone here had indifferent expressions.

When they saw Isla coming, an old woman began to shout, "You really want to die, don't you? You shouldn't live here anymore if you have the disease. You will rot to death!"

Seeing Isla's reaction, Wynter knew this was not the first time something like this had happened.

Isla kept her head down and quickly pulled Wynter inside.

Following closely behind Isla, a woman lying on a bed came into view. The woman, Jenny Harwood, was Isla's mother, and she could be heard coughing. There was an unpleasant smell around the place.

Since Wynter was a doctor, one glance was enough for her to realize that Jenny did not have long to live. Even now, she was barely hanging on.

Isla seemed to understand Jenny's condition, too. "How are you feeling today, Mom? The medical hall's owner gave me some medicinal herbs. I also met a really nice lady today."

"Do not come over!" warned Jenny while coughing. She propped herself up on hands filled with open blisters. "Stay there."

Looking through a curtain, Wynter's gaze fell on Jenny, who was painfully thin. She was nothing but skin and bones, and she looked lifeless.

The only color in the room was a pair of bright red shoes by the bedside.

"Master, it's those red shoes," Leo observed with a tight frown from Wynter's shoulder, where he was lying. "It is very strange, Master. Why is there no resentment found on her? How was this formation created?"

Wynter had a dark look in her eyes. "Listen to her. Don't go over there."

Leo stopped, and Isla stood still as well.

Jenny said to Wynter with an apologetic look, "Thank you for bringing Isla home. Did she trouble you when she went to the Frenda Concession to sell camellias?"

"No, she is very well-behaved. She has always been thinking of getting the medicinal herbs for you," Wynter said mildly.
