Chapter 993: Unexplained Sense of Trust

Given Xaviera Evans' usual character, even if Mrs. Hughes was trying to gain her favor, she would remain guarded, suspecting that all this could be a scheme by the Hughes family, merely wanting to test if she was truly unconscious. But hearing Mrs. Hughes' anxious voice, Xaviera surprisingly felt a surge of trust.

Witnessing the urgent demeanor of Mrs. Hughes, Xaviera decided not to feign unconsciousness any longer and opened her clear eyes.

Seeing Xaviera awake, Mrs. Hughes was both shocked and relieved: "Thank goodness! Miss Evans, you're finally awake!"

Xaviera observed the woman in front of her. Her eyes showed no trace of malice, only deep concern and joy, but Xaviera couldn't understand - she had never met Mrs. Hughes before, so why was Mrs. Hughes showing such concern for her?

Mrs. Hughes, after all, was Zora Hughes' mother. Instead of caring about her own daughter, why was she concerned about someone irrelevant? Why would that be?

"I'm okay," Xaviera slowly sat up.
