The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 201

Malvina blinked, looking at Ulrich who stood before her.

“Was it Dr. Schnabel who saved me? Thanks. Let’s forget about the whole neck-grabbing and waist-touching incident from before. We're square now, huh?”

Elara looked at Ulrich with a mix of disgust and disbelief.

“What kind of mess have you gotten yourself into, Ulrich? You're acting like a street thug.”

Ulrich, faced with the expectant gazes of two sisters, felt his face flush with embarrassment.

“I needed Ms. Gruber’s help to locate the whereabouts of the Shadow Dragon Society. It was an emergency, and I’ve apologized for my actions!”

The Schnabels rarely mingled with the Grubers, and Ulrich only knew Malvina as the feisty and temperamental heiress.

His actions had been out of sheer desperation, so how could he have known what Malvina was really like?

Malvina offered a weak smile, “Forget it, I'm a forgiving soul. I didn't let it slide last time, but this time you, are forgiven.”

Noella popped open the thermos she had brought and handed it to Malvina.

“My mom prepared this for you. Don’t turn your nose up at it.”

Sienna knew that Malvina and her baby daughter got along well, so she insisted that they bring something to eat when they went out, claiming that Malvina must have had a tough life growing up without a mother's care.

Imagine that… neither of the Schnabel daughters had managed to make a proper friend yet!

Sienna was as excited as if her own daughter had made her first friend.

The steamy soup shimmered with a golden hue, while another container held a fragrant almond dessert.

Noella set the dessert beside Malvina, “Have this. You inhaled a lot of smoke; this is good for the lungs.”

Malvina, holding the warm soup, teared up as she looked at Noella. “Did Sienna prepare this for me?” she asked.

“Yeah, My mom said you’ve been on your own and wanted us to bring this over. She'll keep sending food while you're in the hospital, so don't worry.”

The scent of the delicious soup with the well-prepared dessert made Malvina's heart swell with a bittersweet feeling, and yet she couldn't help but smile.

So, there was someone who cared for her after all.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and disappeared into the soup.

“Thank you, Noella, my dear. It's so good to have you!”

She looked at Noella, sobbing with gratitude.

If it weren't for Noella, she wouldn't be enjoying such a wonderful soup.

“I’ve never met my mother. As long as I can remember, my dad always said she was no good. But it’s hilarious because Yates is even older than me. The child from a secretary's affair is older than the legitimate one; talk about who's the decent one!”

“Then, you know, people from the Shadow Dragon Society found me and gave me a lot of stuff. My mom knew she couldn’t be there as I grew up, so she left me lots of things.”

Malvina choked up as she was taking small sips of the soup Sienna had prepared for her.

It was the first time she truly felt a mother's care, even if it wasn’t from her own mother.

Noella handed Malvina a tissue to wipe away her tears, “Don’t cry. You've done so well, and things are going to get better.”

Elara nudged Ulrich, who was silently standing by.

“That’s right, Ms. Gruber. You’ve got the whole future ahead of you! Ulrich will make sure your injuries heal without leaving a scar—I stake his reputation on it!”

Ulrich was baffled.
