Princess May was stunned by Princess Jade Hayes' question.
She lowered her head to look at her frail son in her arms, trying hard to recall.
In Princess May's memory, her son was very healthy when he was born and rarely fell ill.
But ever since he turned one, for some reason, he became weak and sickly.
At that time, she sought countless doctors, but none could cure him.
Princess May thought her son was simply frail, which was why he fell ill so often.
Gradually, her son's health worsened, and now he looked as if he could die at any moment.
Princess May had never suspected any other issue with her son until now. Princess Jade Hayes' question sent a chill down her spine, filling her with a sense of foreboding.
Princess Jade Hayes watched the change in Princess May's expression, let out a cold laugh, and said, "It seems Princess May still remembers what she once did."
"I—I didn't do anything! What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand!" Princess May's eyes grew increasingly panicked as she hugged her son tighter in fear.
Princess May looked down at her son and understood everything!
Her son was not simply frail—he was poisoned! And the poison was the very one she meant for Charles Hayes!
"So that's how it was..." Princess May teetered on the edge of collapse, clutching her son as realization dawned. She tried to harm Charles Hayes, but Princess Jade Hayes turned the tables, and now her own flesh and blood suffered instead!
Princess May hugged her son and wailed in despair: "My son, it was your mother who hurt you. It's all my fault! How could I be so foolish, never realizing you were poisoned all these years? My son, I regret it so much! I wish I could suffer in your place! This is retribution—why couldn't it fall on me instead? Why did it have to hurt my son?"
