The Killer Queen with Multiple Disguises

Chapter 18 The Girl Who Cries Only in Dreams

Preston’s hand paused as he applied the medicine.

He only knew she was an assassin, but he had never considered that she could suppress even her survival instincts.

It wasn’t hard to imagine what kind of life she had led.

After a moment, Hedy supported her shoulder and her brows relaxed. “Thank you,” she said.

The medicine did indeed make her feel much better.

The King Family truly lived up to its reputation as a century–old family in the USA.

The effectiveness of this medicine was several times stronger than the ones she had bought at exorbitant prices on the black market.

“Maybe you can try saying something other than ‘thank you‘ to me.”

Preston’s chest vibrated as he let out a pleasant chuckle.

Despite living under the same roof, they still felt so distant.

It made him question his charm.

“Then let’s sleep, I’m tired,” Hedy responded. Her indifferent eyes sparkled under the lamplight.

Preston was left speechless.

Now he was certain that he held no allure to her.

Chap 1 The Chen City

With Preston around, Hedy fell asleep quickly.

However, tonight was a bit different

The little boy in her arms reminded her of her brother, Cooper.

In her dream, she was transported back to the poverty–stricken slums where it all began.

It was a dirty, chaotic, and impoverished place, filled with people of different nationalities and various skin colors.

Her parents never cared for her, but luckily, the kind old neighbor was a friendly person.

He taught her how to read, write, and instilled in her a sense of etiquette and responsibility

After the old neighbor passed away, Cooper was born.

She knew very well that if she didn’t take care of Cooper, no one else would.

She negotiated with the owner of the powdered milk shop, offering her labor in exchange for powdered milk. However, on the day of the settlement, the shop owner deceived her, denying ever making such an agreement because she was just a child.

She snatched the powdered milk and ran, only to be surrounded and beaten by a group of men who accused her of being a thief.

No one came to her aid.

As winter approached, Hedy washed and dried the clothes her grandfather had left her.
