Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 121
Two days later, Laura Pendleton washed the borrowed clothes, neatly packed them into a gift box, and headed to Mrs. Chelsey’s house. She intended to personally thank the lady and, while there, inquire about John Ashton’s whereabouts.
Recalling the way with some effort, Laura found Mrs. Chelsey’s house and reached for the knocker on the red front door.
At that moment, the door swung open abruptly, revealing Mrs. Chelsey, the homeowner, dressed in an old-fashioned outing dress and holding a worn leather bag.
“Oh, aren’t you that young lady from the other day?”
She seemed quite startled. Laura handed her the borrowed clothes and expressed her gratitude.
Mrs. Chelsey burst into hearty laughter.
“To think you’d put these ragged clothes in a fancy gift box like one from a patisserie! You’re truly a kind young lady! Normally, I’d drag you inside and treat you to some homemade walnut pie, but I was just about to head out…”
“You must have a patient to attend to,” Laura said.
“Exactly. I’m off to see Mr. Ashton.”
“…Oh, that’s right, you mentioned Mr. Ashton is in your care. Do you visit him often?”
“Yes. His daughter, Cecilia Ashton, frequently catches coughs and colds.”
“His daughter?”
Laura flinched but soon recalled hearing that he had a daughter.
“She’s a frail child with a weak heart,” Mrs. Chelsey continued. “Once summer ends, she stays here for hot spring treatments until spring to manage her health. Not that it cures her condition, mind you. It’s quite pitiful. Her mother passed away, and recently, she’s had such a terrible shock…”
“A terrible shock?” Laura asked.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”

Each chapter leaves me in suspense for the future. Although the readers are given assurance from Laura’s feelings since the carriage kiss, I can’t help but doubt the next steps for this couple! Ian’s feeling are deep and tumultuous like waves against a cliff. I can only hope that when the two finally meet, he will remain level headed.
