Chapter 1824 Leave You Again

• Queenie, pale, continued to speak. “Years ago, I was betrayed by my foster brother. I was tricked into consuming a considerable amount of poison, then locked away and nearly burned alive. That day, I inhaled a dangerous amount of harmful fumes. Although your father managed to rescue me, we both suffered extensive burns and almost lost our lives. Since then, even though I underwent treatment, my body has been plagued by all sorts of illnesses. I was never going to live for many more years anyway.”

• The mother she had finally found after much difficulty was soon to leave her.
