Niki came in just then, carrying a glass of water and some medicine.
“Grandma asked me to bring you these,” she said softly. “She wants you to take the medicine and get some rest. You don’t have to come downstairs for dinner—one of the staff will bring your meal up.”
Niki was always thoughtful, mature beyond her years.
Danielle took a deep breath and accepted the pills from her daughter, swallowing them down.
“If you’re still not feeling better after the medicine, you should probably go see a doctor,” Niki said, her brow furrowed with worry. “You always get really sick when you catch a cold.”
Danielle squeezed Niki’s hand gently. “Are you scared to go downstairs and eat with the whole family by yourself?”
Niki shook her head. “I’m a big kid now, Mom. I’m not scared to eat with them alone—and besides, Great-Grandma will be there.”
Niki might not be afraid, but Danielle was. In the entire Davidson family, aside from Grandma, no one seemed to care much for Niki.
Especially with Raffy there—Danielle couldn’t count on Alexander to look out for her daughter, either.
Setting the glass aside, Danielle stood up.
“I’m taking you with me. We’re not staying for dinner tonight.”
Niki hesitated. “But I wanted you to try the dumplings I made all by myself…”
She glanced at her mother’s pale, drawn face, filled with concern.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
I'm already in chapter 432 ATM and I have the impression that the story is so slow. Daniele remains in the dark, her reputation is low and inexistent, her accomplishment and professional abilities are stiĺl hidden, her enemies are taking the joy in humiliatihg her. No evolution in the plot? Please don't stay long in this,readers might lose interest in the long run....
Please update...
The last chapter was too short. More pls. Thank you....
Lovin' this. More more pls!...
