Evelyn, curled up in the corner, seed to understand her words, her body trembling less violently.
Serena Everett seized the mont, walking towards her. Just as her hand was about to touch Evelyn, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Morgan Siegel barged in, ignoring Dylan Walsh, who was standing guard at the door.
"Pri Minister, Miss Evelyn has a psychological issue. I just contacted my friend; he is the most renowned psychologist in Celestia. He will definitely be able to heal Miss Evelyn’s psychological trauma!"
Morgan Siegel’s tone was full of self-satisfaction, clearly aiming to curry favor with Pri Minister Lockwood. However, Evelyn, who had initially let her guard down, was shocked by his abrupt intrusion, her limbs convulsing, and her small body trembling violently, a sign of impending shock.
"Fool, who let you in?"
Serena Everett’s delicate porcelain face instantly turned icy cold, her sharp gaze piercing Morgan Siegel like an icy blade.
If it weren’t for his sudden intrusion frightening Evelyn, she would have already cald her down. This fool ruined everything!
But Serena Everett couldn’t bother dealing with him now. She imdiately took out Silver Needles from her pocket, prepared to administer acupuncture to calm her.
As soon as Serena Everett touched her, Evelyn struggled violently, her small body erupting with imnse strength, breaking free from Serena Everett’s restraint, and the next mont, she viciously bit down on Serena Everett’s arm.
"Evelyn..."
Seeing Evelyn in such a state, Pri Minister Lockwood was frantic but helpless, resorting to angrily kicking Morgan Siegel.
"If anything happens to my daughter, I will definitely not forgive you!"
Morgan Siegel hadn’t anticipated that his attempt to impress went awry instead, looking at the ominous expression on Pri Minister Lockwood’s face, he shrank back in fear, not daring to utter another word.
Serena Everett endured the pain in her arm, and instead of shaking Evelyn off, she gently stroked her head, strongly conveying reassurance.
She softly repeated the earlier words.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here to help you..."
Being petted on the head by Serena Everett, Evelyn’s body instantly stiffened but ceased any aggressive action, slowly relaxing her tense body.
Serena Everett keenly noticed this, her hand movents on Evelyn’s head beca increasingly gentle, stroking her head repeatedly.
When Evelyn was most relaxed, Serena Everett swiftly inserted a gleaming Silver Needle into a crucial acupuncture point on her head.
"Evelyn... Miss Everett, how is Evelyn?"
Seeing Serena Everett use the Silver Needles, Pri Minister Lockwood finally dared to step forward, anxiously inquiring.
"I have temporarily suppressed the outbreak of her pain; she will regain consciousness in a mont."
Upon hearing this, Pri Minister Lockwood was overjoyed, his tone full of gratitude, "Thank you... Miss Everett, thank you so much... Since bringing Evelyn back to the Pri Minister’s Residence, this is the first ti she has been lucid!"
Since retrieving Evelyn from the slums, she had been comatose, occasionally awake but in a state of outbreak.
Now that Evelyn was lucid, how could Pri Minister Lockwood not be delighted and excited?
Standing aside, Morgan Siegel felt extrely uncomfortable, sarcastically speaking out.
"Hmph, we tried so many ways but couldn’t make Miss Evelyn lucid. Yet, you rely insert a needle in her head, and suddenly she’s clear-headed. Laughable!"
"You couldn’t make Evelyn lucid because you are incompetent."
The girl’s tone was calm, but her words carried undeniable mockery and arrogance.
Morgan Siegel’s face turned livid with anger, just as he was about to speak again, he noticed Evelyn had changed.
Unlike her frenzied state during the outbreak, her gaze beca clear, voluntarily releasing her bite on Serena Everett’s arm.
"I’m... sorry..."
Seeing the blood on Serena Everett’s arm, Evelyn’s face was apologetic, timidly speaking.
The sound of her voice was rough and unpleasant due to her long absence from speaking, yet it moved Pri Minister Lockwood to tears.
It was the first ti she had spoken since arriving at the Pri Minister’s Residence...
"I’m alright, you don’t need to apologize."
Serena Everett disregarded the wound on her arm, gently reassuring her.
She knew Evelyn hadn’t intentionally hard her, it was a defensive response triggered by shock.
"Evelyn...I am your father, do you rember ?" Pri Minister Lockwood, eyes red with emotion, stared intensely at her, filled with hope.
Evelyn also stared at Pri Minister Lockwood for a long, long ti, her round eyes finally turning red as well.
Pri Minister Lockwood mistook her reaction for fear, quickly speaking gently, "It’s okay if you don’t rember , Evelyn. You were so young then, it’s normal not to rember..."
He was interrupted by Evelyn’s firm response, "I rember you!"
Evelyn’s affirmation brought tears flowing from Pri Minister Lockwood, who embraced her frail figure tightly.
"I’m glad you do, I’m glad you do! Evelyn, it was my fault in the past, making you suffer for seven years, from now on I will protect you well, never letting you be hard again!"
Serena Everett watched this touching scene quietly, not interrupting. When Pri Minister Lockwood cald down, she spoke.
"Evelyn, your condition is only temporarily suppressed by , to completely cure it, we need to understand the cause. Can you tell about your past experiences?"
Hearing this, pain clouded Evelyn’s face, after struggling internally for a long ti, she began speaking, "I... I was kept in a basent before, there were many other children my age in the basent, we were locked up together, every day they would co and inject us with unknown drugs.
As we grew older, the injections increased, but one day they declared we were all failures, failures ant to be eliminated..."
