Chapter 250 - Ch. 250 Roxy's Guidance Star
Roxy's mental state worsened, leaving Pierre confused. The girl refused food and often pulled out the IV needle. Every time the girl woke up, she would scream hysterically when she saw someone in her room.
Roxy acted as if she was trying to keep herself away from everyone who cared about her. She shut everyone out of her and shunned the world.
"At this rate, she would lose her sanity. We need to bring her to the hospital," suggested Pierre which Hades immediately agreed.
Unfortunately, even in the hospital, Roxy didn't get better and hurt herself more and more. She broke the flower vase and scratched her wrist with the shards. Sometimes she would bang her head against the wall.
Whatever she did, Pierre got the impression that the girl wanted to end her life. Finally, he decided to give her a sedative and anesthetic to put the girl to sleep.
"How is her progress?" asked Hades III to his brother.
Pierre shook his head and seemed hesitant to continue.
"Say it." urged his brother impatiently.
"She's getting worse, brother. She refused to eat or meet people… she always hit and screamed whenever the nurses or I attended her. It was like she didn't want to get well. Her health is getting worse."
Zouch knew very well because his daughter's body had become thin as bones from not wanting to eat for the past few days. It had been almost two weeks since the death of his youngest daughter, but nothing had gone well.
Conn urged him to return to Folkland as soon as possible because there was a minor rebellion from the inside, and also… his wife also refused to eat because she was sorry for hurting their daughter's heart.
Britney tried to talk to Roxy to persuade her to eat, but as soon as Roxy saw her mother's face, the child immediately screamed hysterically and kicked Britney out of her room.
As a result, Pierre ordered no one to visit Roxy's room and let the nurse tended to her. Sometimes, when Roxy was feeling weak, she wouldn't care about strangers entering her room.
On the other hand, once someone she knew entered her room, Roxy would push them away with all her might even though her body was fragile.
Roxy didn't want to see anyone she knew in this world. It doesn't matter if it's her father, mother, or uncle. She even hoped that the stranger who entered her room was a criminal who wanted to kill her.
That's why Roxy didn't scream nor chase anyone she didn't know.
Until one night, when everyone was asleep, someone entered Roxy's room. No one thought that the person was one of Hades' confidants but instead intended to kill Roxy.
"What? That boy wants to kill Roxy? Why? Hadn't that kid sworn to protect Roxy? How about Roxy? Is she okay?" asked Britney in a hurry as soon as she heard this news.
She had lost her youngest daughter, and she didn't want to lose her other daughter.
Britney had calmed herself down for the past two weeks and was embarrassed by her disgracing behavior. She shouldn't have said vile words like 'I regret that I brought you into this world,' to Roxy.
The plane crash wasn't the girl's fault, and Kaylee's death had absolutely nothing to do with Roxy.
Britney hoped that her daughter would meet her and listen to her apology. She knew… she didn't deserve to be forgiven, but at least… she didn't want her daughter to be sad and hurt herself.
"She is fine. We have to take her home. She's safer protected in the Folklands." was her husband's answer that made Britney frowned in displeasure.
"Don't you remember what happened when we took her to the airport?"
They had tried to bring Roxy back to Folkland, but the girl was struggling in the car like a victim screaming for help. It was as if she was being kidnapped as soon as she realized where they were going.
Pierre told them Roxy had an acute trauma and hated being at the airport, so they had no other choice but to take care of the girl in this country.
Hades III had been out of the Folkland for too long, and his presence was desperately needed in his organization, but he didn't want to leave his daughter alone.
If Roxy's physical and mental condition improved and the girl had a fighting spirit for life, maybe Hades could go home first. Maybe Britney could keep their daughter here a little longer for her recovery.
Unfortunately, her daughter's condition was getting worse, and it seemed that her daughter intended to follow her younger sister.
If he were careless even a little bit, Roxy would really be gone, and he would lose his two daughters in a row. Thus, he didn't want to leave his daughter here alone, not while that girl didn't want to see her mother.
"We have no other choice. We have to go back to the south…."
"For what? To take care of your favorite organization? Wasn't the plane crash intentional, and someone was after Roxy? What makes you think she's safer if she goes back there?"
"I have the power to protect her there, and I can send my men to find the culprit more loosely."
"No. I don't want to bring her back there." Britney insisted firmly, making Hades III look at his wife angrily.
Just as Hades was about to speak, Pierre's wife was interrupted and called out to Britney.
"Britney, can you come with me for a bit? I have something for you."
"I don't need it." was her indifferent answer.
"It's about your daughter."
Britney glanced at her confusedly while Hades left because he didn't want to talk to his wife anymore.
Since his wife's callous remarks towards their daughter, their relationship has become disordered, and there was a crack in their marriage bond.
Hades would never forgive his wife if his eldest daughter's mental condition didn't improve. If Britney hadn't said that, Roxy wouldn't be like this.
They all know Roxy loved her mother dearly and always looks for her first whenever the child encounters a problem.
For Roxy, her mother was her guidance star, and yet.... the heartless mother broke it.
