La Heredera Perdida Nunca Perdona novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320 Unspoken Shadows

Quinn was so agitated that she woke Dora up. The little girl looked frightened and couldn’t stop crying.

Sierra quickly tried to comfort Dora while also attempting to calm Quinn down.

“Quinn, take it easy–you’re scaring Dora.”

She reached out to soothe Quinn, but Quinn flinched away, clinging tightly to Johnathan like he was her only lifeline.

Something was clearly wrong with her. Fortunately, the doctor arrived in time and gave her a sedative. Only then did she start to settle, while Dora was already hiccupping from crying so hard—yet not making

a sound.

Three–year–olds were supposed to be carefree, but Dora didn’t even dare cry out loud. Sierra couldn’t begin to imagine what kind of environment she had been living in before.

And Quinn… there was something very wrong with her, too. What was she so afraid of?

“I’ll have someone look into it,” Johnathan said.

He realized things were even worse than he’d thought. There was no way he could just leave Quinn like this.

Originally, Johnathan had planned to send Dora to a full–time daycare, but now, with how she was doing, that was out of the question.

“Let’s bring her home for now,” Sierra said. She couldn’t bear to send such a small child away, especially one with such obvious physical and emotional issues.

She had a few days off from school, so she could help take care of Dora while they figured out a long–term solution.

Johnathan thought for a moment and nodded. “Thank you for taking her back. I’ll stay a bit longer.”

Quinn was asleep from the sedative, and Johnathan didn’t want to leave until she woke up.

“…Alright.”

Sierra understood there wasn’t much else they could do. She also knew Quinn’s case was complicated.

Still, when she saw Quinn clinging to Johnathan like that, something stirred inside her–something she didn’t want to admit.

She hated that she felt that way, so she didn’t say anything and left with Dora.

Maybe it was everything that had happened that day, but Dora was even quieter than yesterday. No matter how much Sierra tried to talk to her, she wouldn’t say a word.

She’d expected Johnathan to be back soon, but it was almost midnight by the time he finally returned.

He walked in quietly and softened at the sight of Sierra still waiting for him. “You’re still up?”

Sierra shook her head to say she wasn’t sleepy, then asked how Quinn was doing.

Johnathan’s expression darkened at her name.

“She woke up later, but her mood was still all over the place.”

She either said nothing at all or burst into tears. Johnathan had wanted to leave more than once, but he couldn’t bring himself to. He only left after she’d calmed down a little.

Sierra pressed her lips together, then told him about Dora’s silence. When Johnathan heard that, he couldn’t help but mutter, “Like mother, like daughter.”

“Don’t say that,” Sierra said, knowing he was just frustrated. He’d never been good with words.

“Let’s wait for the results,” she added.

“Yeah.” Johnathan nodded and pulled her into a hug, apologizing. “Sorry for dragging you into this.”

“Johnathan.” Sierra’s tone went cold as she called his name, and he instantly realized he’d said something
