Chapter 599

Rory was sitting obediently on the small sofa in her bedroom a rare sight indeed. When Aaliyah entered, the girl lifted her head, tears glistening in her eyes. "Mom... did I do something wrong?" But Aaliyah's sharp eyes immediately noticed the changed bedsheet on her daughter's bed. Frowning slightly, she asked, "Rory, why did you change the sheets?" She had always doted on Rory, tending to every detail in her room personally, even after becoming pregnant. That was why she could tell at a glance that the bedsheet wasn’t the one she had laid out before. Rory bit her lip, her face flushing with embarrassment as she averted her gaze. "I... I came back to rest earlier and accidentally dirtied the sheets..." Aaliyah thought of the incense burning in that room earlier, and her heart ached even more for her daughter. She pulled Rory into a tight embrace, her voice trembling with lingering fear. "Sweetheart, thank goodness you're alright. I don’t know what I’d do if anything happened to you."
