Chapter 423

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. “Jane, what nonsense are you spouting?! I’m good to Dorothy because she’s sensible and caring, unlike you, who’s just unbearable!!”

She slammed the hospital room door shut and lowered her voice to warn me, “And let me make this clear–you better give up any thoughts of returning to the Myers family!”

“Why should I?”

I replied calmly, “Just so you know, since I’ve returned to Vista Town, I never planned on neglecting Ramona. This time, I must replace a way to cure her.”

Susan glared at me coldly. “Well, try if you must! Don’t think Bryant will always be there to help you!!”

“And, does Dad know about you and Dorothy?”

I said with a smirk, intentionally changing the subject, catching her off guard with that question.

Of course, calling him ‘Dad‘ wasn’t sincere. It was just a temporary title.

Susan attempted to slap me. “Jane, you’re absolutely slanderous!!”

I quickly grabbed her arm, pushed it away, and dusted off my hands. “Oh, seems like he doesn’t know then.”

I was uncertain before, but now, I was convinced. Their relationship must be

more than it seems.

I smiled slightly. “Don’t rush to deny or hit me; the more you do, the more desperate you seem. If you keep preventing the doctors from treating Ramona, I’m not sure if I might just start looking into things, or maybe, just tell Dad directly.”

“Look into it? With what capability do you think…”

“Of course not me. Didn’t you say it? Bryant will help me.”

I was merely using Bryant to intimidate her, chuckling lightly. “I might not replace anything, but what about him? After all, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. With a little digging, who knows what might come up!”

“…Bitch!”

Susan glared at me fiercely, then, as if thinking of something, let out a cold laugh. “I’ll let you off this time. We’ll see how long you can keep this up.”

With that, she dragged Dorothy away.

I entered the room, turned to the nurse. “You can leave now, your payment will be settled as per the contract.”

This nurse, arranged by Mark for Ramona, was tonight’s shift worker. She was one of the Myers family’s 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. “What brings you here?”

Gregory replied, “To see Ramona.”

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, “Auntie! You must be my auntie!”
