The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 918

Charlotte glanced at her mom, who was sobbing and looking a little lost. She frowned, feeling a headache coming on. “I’ll send you a little something soon,” she said in a gentle voice.

“Huh?”

Nora instantly perked up, her eyes glued to Charlotte with anticipation. “What is it?”

“Check your phone.”

Right as Charlotte finished speaking, she sent a batch of photos to Franco’s phone. They were family pictures from the last few years. In every single one, Grandpa was seated right in the center, and the spot next to him on the right was always left empty, like they were saving it just for her. Every year, it was the same.

Nora ran her fingers softly over the faces in the photos, her eyes growing red and misty.

“Focus on your treatment, Mom. When you’re better, we’ll go home together.”

Hearing that, Nora’s gaze trembled. The lump in her throat got even tighter. Did Lottie find something out?

“Mom, there’s something I want to ask you.”

Charlotte waited for Nora to calm down before she spoke up again.

“Go ahead.”

Nora glanced at Franco, who was busy mixing her medication a little ways off. Her heart started racing as she lowered her voice.

“Did you know your genes are different from most people’s?”

Nora’s heart dropped. Not only were her own genes unique, but Lottie had inherited them too. They’d already done a test on her hair, and the results were in. Lottie’s genes had mutated. That probably meant she’d never actually taken the antidote back then, or maybe she had and it just hadn’t worked.

“I know,” Nora said, taking a moment to steady herself. When she looked up at the camera again, her face was completely calm. “I found out when I was a teenager. I had it checked. They said it wouldn’t affect my health, so I never worried about it.”

Her answer sounded a little too careful, which just made Charlotte even more certain that the gene mutation wasn’t something to ignore.

“I was just asking,” Charlotte said, her lips pressed together in thought. After a long pause, she finally said, “Get some rest, okay? Once there’s a treatment plan, I’ll come back to Solenia right away.”
