Chapter 25 Donald And His Family
The military zone is situated near the residential area of Harry Holeson High. It only took a ten–minute
ride on an electric scooter to reach there.
It felt lik: ages since she last set foot in this place. After returning to the Kins Family in her previous life.
Angela never visited again. As she gazed at those old–style buildings, her memories had become
somewhat hazy.
Donald lived on the fifth floor of the third row in a three–bedroom apartment. Queenie rummaged
through her bag and realized that she had forgotten to bring the keys when she hurriedly left home. So,
she pressed the doorbell. The doorbell rang for a while, and then a middle–aged man appeared in her
line of sight. “Angela, come in quickly!”
When Donald saw Angela, joy was evident in his eyes. It was wonderful that she came to live here.
Angela smiled. “Uncle Donald.”
At that moment, a middle–aged woman walked out of the living room. When she saw Angela, her eyes Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
instantly turned red. “Angela, I heard that you were injured and hospitalized recently. Come and let me
take a look. Where did you get hurt?”
Hecate pulled Angela into the living room and checked her injuries. When Hecate saw the clear scar on
Angela’s forehead, her eyes filled with heartache.
Girls naturally care about their appearance. Having such a long scar affects her looks. She
Hecate wiped away a tear and said with concern. “Is this how your family treats you? They actually
kicked you out without any reason. Samuel is also despicable. He vandalized the place where you are
currently living. He’s trying to make your life a living hell.”
“What? That’s too much” Donald clenched his fists in anger. He knew about Angela being kicked out,
but he had no idea about their belongings being destroyed.
“I just heard about it at the store. It was done by Samuel. He did it for Fanny because they wanted to
snatch Angela’s Brundelian speech opportunity”
The Kins Family treated the fake heiress Fanny as a treasure, but they were not close to their own
daughter. Donald knew that about them. They used to have minor conflicts, but this time, they went
too far. Donald was furious, but he still comforted Angela softly, “Angela, don’t be afraid. From now on,
just live peacefully with me. As long as we are here, the Kins Family won’t dare to come looking for you
again.”
Although George and he were brothers, they had a falling out over a decade ago and hadn’t had any
contact since then.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Hecate nodded and agreed, “Donald is right. Just settle down here.
As long as we have enough to eat, you will never go hungry.”
Angela’s eyes welled up with emotion. It was only with Donald that she could feel the warmth of family.
It was a warmth she had never experienced in her previous life, despite trying to please the Kins Family
her whole life. The more Donald and Aunt Hecate cared for her, the more guilty she felt.
In order to please the Kins Family, she deliberately reduced her interactions with Donald’s family. But
they didn’t hold any grudges and continued to treat her well. She realized how foolish she had been in

blinked and said, “Donald, Hecate, it wasn’t them who drove me out. I came to the realization myself
and didn’t

Queenie poured two cups of warm water and handed one to Angela, speaking softly. “It’s best if you’ve
come to this realization on your own. The Kins Family is heartless. After they treated you like that,
there’s nothing worth holding onto.”
Taking the cup, Angela took a sip and immediately felt warmth spreading through her body. It wasn’t
just her physical body, but her entire heart was enveloped in warmth. That long–lost feeling seemed to
have returned all at once.
“Queenie is absolutely right. In this family, no one will tolerate any mistreatment towards you. If you
have any needs, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Consider this place your own home. Holding
Angela’s hand. Hecate gazed at her with a tender expression. She had watched this child grow up
since she was little, and Angela had always been obedient and sensible. Hecate couldn’t comprehend
how the Kins Family could be so heartless and do such despicable things to their own daughter.
Despite Fanny being raised by them for over a decade and having a closer relationship, blood is thicker
than water. Angela was Hecate’s sister–in–law’s flesh and blood. How could she not love her own flesh
and blood and instead shower affection on a cunning outsider?
Hecate still vividly remembered when Angela was first brought back; she was thin, quiet, shy, and
introverted. Initially, her sister–in–law felt sorry for her, but gradually, she favored Fanny more. She
believed that Angela was timid and lacked confidence, and she didn’t possess the charm that Fanny
had. Angela was reserved, so Scarlet didn’t warm up to her.
It was Charlotte who noticed that Angela wasn’t thriving in that household and brought her back to raise
her. She raised her for several years. It was only when Charlotte’s health deteriorated that Angela was
sent back. But how long had she been back before she was forced to leave again? Hecate felt
extremely uneasy.
Donald entered the kitchen, tied an apron around his waist, and said to the others, “You guys chat. I’ll
start cooking.
Hecate took out the fruits from the refrigerator, washed them, and arranged them on a fruit tray in front
of Angela. “Just make yourself at home. Help yourself to anything you want to eat or drink. If you need
anything, just let us know. Don’t feel like a stranger.”
Angela smiled and nodded, saying, “Thank you, Aunt Hecate.”
As she watched Donald busily working in the kitchen, Angela couldn’t help but think about her uncle’s
fate in her previous life, and her heart skipped a beat.
Who would have imagined that he, always strong and healthy, would be diagnosed with late–stage
gastric cancer a few years later? By then, it had become so severe that he struggled to eat, and soon
after, he passed away. Reflecting on this. Angela felt uneasy. The incubation period of cancer is
excessively long. and she had personally experienced it in her previous life.
Stomachaches were a common symptom, and many people underestimated them, believing that taking
medication could alleviate the pain without the need to go to the hospital. Only when the painkillers
ceased to be effective did they consider seeking medical attention, but by then, it was already too late.
She needed to find a way to persuade Uncle Donald to undergo a physical examination in order to
detect and treat it early, thus avoiding so many troubles.
Peeling an orange for Angela, Hecate smiled affectionately. “Silly child, we’re all family here; there’s

need to be so formal with us.”
Angela took the orange and popped a segment into her mouth. Mmm, it was truly sweet, even sweeter
than honey.
The sound of the door opening came from outside; it was Queenie’s grandmother and her brother.
Quincy Kins, returning.
“Grandma, Quincy, you’re back. Angela moved in today and will be living with us from now on.”
Queenie approached her grandmother, supporting her, and happily introduced Angela to her.
“Grandma, this is Angela; she’s also a part of our family now.”
Observing the elderly person in front of her, Angela’s heart skipped a beat, and she politely greeted
her, “Hello, great–aunt.”
Queenie’s grandmother smiled at her without displaying too much surprise in her eyes, evidently aware
that Angela would be arriving today.
Quincy glanced at Angela and coldly remarked, “Did the Kirrs Family kick you out?”
It was like provoking a hornet’s nest. Hecate glared at her own son and angrily slapped Quincy on the
shoulder. “Can’t
keep quiet.”
you watch your words? If you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all. Just
After reprimanding her son Quincy, Hecate looked at Angela and noticed her composure, which
relieved her. She quickly attempted to smooth things over. “Angela, Quincy isn’t very bright. He’s just a
simple man. Don’t pay attention to him!”
