The moment I spoke, I casually let my gaze fall on her. "Don't tell me your relationship with her is more than just a simple foster mother and daughter?"
It was only a wild guess meant to get under her skin.
Unexpectedly, her face darkened immediately, and she began to defend herself in a hurry. âJane, what nonsense are you spouting?! Iâm good to Dorothy because sheâs sensible and caring, unlike you, who's just unbearable!!â
She slammed the hospital room door shut and lowered her voice to warn me, âAnd let me make this clearâyou better give up any thoughts of returning to the Myers family!â
âWhy should I?â
I replied calmly, âJust so you know, since Iâve returned to Vista Town, I never planned on neglecting Ramona. This time, I must find a way to cure her.â
Susan glared at me coldly. âWell, try if you must! Donât think Bryant will always be there to help you!!â
âAnd, does Dad know about you and Dorothy?â
I said with a smirk, intentionally changing the subject, catching her off guard with that question.
Of course, calling him 'Dad' wasnât sincere. It was just a temporary title.
Susan attempted to slap me. âJane, youâre absolutely slanderous!!â
I quickly grabbed her arm, pushed it away, and dusted off my hands. âOh, seems like he doesnât know then.â
I was uncertain before, but now, I was convinced. Their relationship must be more than it seems.
I smiled slightly. âDonât rush to deny or hit me; the more you do, the more desperate you seem. If you keep preventing the doctors from treating Ramona, Iâm not sure if I might just start looking into things, or maybe, just tell Dad directly.â
âLook into it? With what capability do you think...â
âOf course not me. Didnât you say it? Bryant will help me.â
I was merely using Bryant to intimidate her, chuckling lightly. âI might not find anything, but what about him? After all, where thereâs smoke, there's fire. With a little digging, who knows what might come up!â

Susan glared at me fiercely, then, as if thinking of something, let out a cold laugh. âIâll let you off this time. Weâll see how long you can keep this up.â
With that, she dragged Dorothy away.
I entered the room, turned to the nurse. âYou can leave now, your payment will be settled as per the contract.â
This nurse, arranged by Mark for Ramona, was tonight's shift worker. She was one of the Myers familyâs own.
I had endured it for a long time, and finally, it was time for a change.
After settling her pay, just as I was about to check on Ramona, I heard the sound of footsteps.
Looking back and down, I met Gregory's mocking eyes.
I was a bit surprised. âWhat brings you here?â
Gregory replied, âTo see Ramona.â
As I was about to speak, a little toddler peeked out from behind the wheelchair, blinked his big eyes at me for a few seconds, then suddenly ran over and hugged my leg, saying in a sweet, childlike voice, âAuntie! You must be my auntie!â
