Chapter 21 Carson remained determined , while only Hester seemed a bit hesitant . Despair rose in her heart , and Noelle's eyelids grew heavier and heavier . Perhaps , when she opened her eyes again , she would be back in that prison . Suddenly , accompanied by a gurgling sound , Mitchell spoke up , " Noe will not go back to the sanatorium . Even if she is truly ill , I will take care of her myself . " A gentle breeze swept away the heavy gloom in her heart . Noelle slowly turned her head and called out hoarsely , " Mitchell . " Mitchell pushed his wheelchair over and hurried to hug his sister . Mitchell lived in a villa on the far edge of the estate , and since he had trouble moving around , he rarely came to the main house . He had rushed over as soon as he heard the news , but he was still a bit late . The girl in his arms was cold to the touch . His eyes were bloodshot , but his voice remained warm . " Noe , don't be afraid . I'm here . " " Mitchell ... " Noelle slowly closed her eyes , giving in to the drug as she slipped into unconsciousness . Mitchell took off his coat and draped it over Noelle , then looked up and stared at everyone . " Dad , Mom , if you insist on sending Noe back to the sanatorium , then I'll go with her . " Mitchell's words stunned everyone . Hester was the first to object , saying to Mitchell , " Your health isn't good . How can you go to a place like that ? " After finishing speaking , she realized her words were a bit rude and quickly tried to make up for it . " What I mean is , you still need treatment for your legs . It won't be convenient if you stay at the sanatorium . " A dark glint flickered in Rudolph's eyes , but he followed along , saying , " Mrs. Martinez is right . Our sanatorium mainly treats emotional issues in adolescents . Mr. Mitchell , since you have a leg problem , it's better for you to go to a specialized hospital . " With Mitchell's frail health , if he really went to the sanatorium , they'd have to treat him super carefully . If anything went wrong , he might even die there , and then the Martinez family would definitely hold the sanatorium responsible . In that case , the truth behind the sanatorium might also be exposed . No matter what , it just wasn't a good idea for the sanatorium to take Mitchell in . Mitchell gave a half - smile and asked , " If you don't mind me , I have a question . Since your sanatorium specializes in treating emotional issues , why hasn't my sister improved after three years of treatment ? " Rudolph's eyes flickered as he shot a glance at Lucinda beside him . But Lucinda had no intention of getting involved and pretended not to notice Rudolph's glance . Harold , who had always disliked Noelle and wished she'd never come back , said , " She's too scheming , so her illness is more serious . " Hester glanced at Harold and Mitchell , who were clearly at odds , and sighed worriedly , " Both of you , stop . Noe has just been discharged . Let her recuperate at home for now . If her condition relapses , we'll send her back to the sanatorium . " Carson then shook hands politely with Rudolph , expressing his gratitude once again . After exchanging a few pleasantries , Rudolph picked up his medical kit and left . But as he passed by Lucinda , something seemed to occur to him . Then he said to Carson and Hester , " You truly have a gentle and caring daughter . Ms. Lucinda is very concerned about Noelle . She noticed something was off with Noelle's mental state and especially called me over for a follow - up check . " The triumphant smile on Lucinda's face froze instantly . 1623 10 A < Chapter 21 The next second , she felt a cold , chilling gaze directed at her .
