Skylar was overjoyed due to the concern from her mother. To her, that was better than being totally
ignored. She guessed that only her mother would still treat her as a daughter from a high-status family.
In the eyes of others, she was just a murderer’s daughter who had been abandoned by her own father.
“There is nothing bad about it. There are things which are hard to explain to you.” She was too tired to
do any explaining. Currently, she just wanted to keep quiet while wondering what happened on Tobias’s
side. Additionally, she feared that she had severely offended Claudia.
Previously, she didn’t harbor any hope that Tobias would marry her.
Currently, it seemed even more hopeless.
The next morning, Skylar who had not slept for the whole night gave Tobias a call but he didn’t pick up.
Miranda already put on a wig and dressed up in a khaki-colored dress with a floral design. On top of
that, she also put on the shades. It was as though she was going on vacation.
“Do I look good?” Miranda looked at the mirror and put on a smile which she thought was the most
perfect smile.

“Appeared to be an old-fashioned look,” Skylar commented.
Miranda rolled her eyes at her daughter. “I asked a nurse called Wincy to buy it for me. By the way,
where are we going to stay after I discharge from here?”
Skylar was in a dilemma as the house belonged to Tobias. In spite of that, he didn’t have the intention
to invite Miranda to stay with them. Nevertheless, this was normal as no one wished to be disturbed.
Furthermore, he preferred the house to be quiet.
Skylar remained silent for some moments and Miranda asked again, “Don’t tell me that I don’t have a
home to go to.”
Skylar replied, “I’ll find a house for you.”
Then, Miranda was satisfied while she chuckled, “Initially, I thought that a daughter is not good.
However, now I understand that having a daughter is actually better. Mom’s beloved yet caring
daughter, when are you going to introduce your boyfriend to me?”
Miranda just recalled after leaving the ward. She stood in the corridor and stared at Skylar when she
was asking her that question.
“He is very busy, so he is not free.” Skylar answered perfunctorily.
“Have you heard that Tobias’s wife had a miscarriage that resulted in a huge amount of blood loss?
She went through an operation to remove her uterus last night.”
“She is not his wife as they are not married yet. She is just his fiancée! Well, her dream of marrying into
a wealthy family was dashed. The Fords definitely would not accept a sterile woman,” said a nurse.
“What a tragedy. She was arrogant when she came here and acted like a queen. However, look at her
miserable predicament now,” she continued.
The nurses walking along the corridor continued to gossip about Tanya’s incident. Upon hearing that,
Skylar frowned. When she was still there last night, she didn’t hear anything about Tanya’s uterus being
removed. What happened after I left?
Miranda looked as though she was given a new lease of life after leaving the hospital. As a matter of
fact, she had lost more than ten years of freedom. The air outside seemed to be so fresh for her.
Skylar waved for a cab and found a hotel nearby. She had Miranda settled down first while she
searched for a house. This came out of a sudden, so she didn’t prepare anything.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon knowing that she will be staying at the hotel, Miranda was clearly dissatisfied and queried, “You
haven’t owned a house yet?”
Skylar was stunned and looked at her. She thought of what she had done to give Miranda the wrong
impression about her having the ability to purchase a house in a city, where land was highly expensive.
After all, she was just a student. Everything she had was given by Tobias.
Skylar pointing to herself, “Please take a look at me. Do I look like I can afford a house? I am just
renting a place.”
Miranda started to criticize Skylar, “You are just so foolish. Tell me what do you get by getting involved
in a relationship with a married man. He doesn’t even give you the money! To make things worse, you
even need to rent a house to live in. Are you sacrificing in the name of love?”
Miranda talked endlessly and thus causing Skylar a headache. In turn, she wished to know why was
her mother still couldn’t forget Thomas. Did he give her anything?
After Miranda had settled down, Skylar received a call from the university informing her about the
registration of the B2 French exam. She had been absent from class for two days without a reason.
Hence, she definitely wouldn’t be able to pass this term’s examination if she kept on skipping classes.
Skylar asked Miranda, “Can you stay here alone as I need to go and settle something?”
Miranda probed her, “Where do you want to go? You just left me here all by myself. I have just been set
free and I know nothing. I don’t even know how to switch on the television yet you are not worried.”
