"We’ll all help you, plus there are caregivers; they’re more professional at nursing than us."
"But the caregivers can’t give Little Ai the family affection she wants." Faye Townsend smiled softly and ate her steak.
"Oliver, you’re busy with work too; there’s really no need for you to make this special trip."
"Alright, there’s no need to discuss this further. You don’t know how happy Miya was to see .
If you knew, you wouldn’t say that."
Faye felt a bit guilty: "I just feel like it’s too much trouble for you."
"That’s because you haven’t thought of as one of your own. If you truly considered your closest person, you wouldn’t think this way."
Faye recalled the mont at Hunter Warren’s doorstep, when they nearly kissed, and felt a bit awkward.
Since that day, Oliver Turner hadn’t called her or tried to reach her.
She thought Oliver was angry and decided to ignore her.
"Faye, about that day at your house... I think I owe you an apology."
Faye looked up at him: "Why do you need to apologize? You didn’t do anything wrong.
I’m the one who should apologize. You were already in a bad mood that day, and I provoked you."
Oliver folded his arms with a smile: "I’ll accept your apology; I was indeed a little upset by you that day.
But I was in a bad mood, otherwise I wouldn’t have reacted so angrily.
Sotis, a person’s emotions can easily affect their mood for the entire day."
Faye smiled gently: "Have you been in touch with Clara these days?"
"That silly girl, perhaps I’ve spoiled her into being ungrateful; she hasn’t been to work for many days now.
It’s just a spat with , is it necessary?
You two are of the sa age, but in this matter, I admire you more.
Arguing is one thing, work is another, you always have to keep things clear."
"Don’t you think I’m a bit cold-blooded and lacking in compassion?
Sotis, I’d rather be a little willful like Clara.
Unfortunately, my parents are gone, and no one is there to tolerate my whims anymore.
Actually, it’s not that won want to be strong, but they have no choice but to be strong."
"You can really speak up for her."
"I’m just stating the facts, and to be honest, I feel you’re being a bit unfair to Clara in this matter.
It was Clara’s biological mother who passed away, she has every right to hate Ms. Fisher.
No matter the grievance, it’s wrong to be responsible for soone else’s death.
Clara just hopes you’ll be fair to her. You can support Ms. Fisher, but at least... don’t force her to have the sa perspective as you.
Besides being the ’child’ you raised, she loves you.
Seeing you treat Ms. Fisher well, it’s more strange if she could accept it."
"Faye, there are so things where everyone has their own reasoning.
I know Clara doesn’t want to see Luna Fisher, so I never ntioned it to her from the start.
I even stayed at a hotel for many days to make her feel a bit better.
I thought out of sight, out of mind, if she didn’t see she wouldn’t be angry.
Yet she still found at the hotel to question .
It was fine if she questioned , but she actually demanded I sever ties with Luna Fisher.
Even if I hadn’t been involved with Luna Fisher back then, she’s still my friend.
Yes, she committed a cri, but she’s still soone I know.
The incident happened at my house back then. Baoyi lost her life, and Luna lost her freedom.
Both are inseparably linked to . I don’t intend to pursue things with Luna; I just want to help her adjust to society after losing twenty years of freedom.
Baoyi is gone, even if Luna were to pay for her life, Baoyi wouldn’t co back.
So why should we press her completely?"
Faye nodded, admitting that Oliver’s words made sense.
From Oliver’s perspective, he could very well think this way.
Indeed, everyone has their own viewpoint, and he and Clara are now on different sides.
But Clara is upset probably because of this damned stance they have.
She surely wishes Uncle Oliver, whom she loves, could stand with her against the person who killed her mother.
Perhaps she truly can’t make Luna pay with her life, but if Oliver could just ignore Luna with her, she might feel better.
So things are truly unable to be concluded by outsiders.
After hearing Clara’s feelings, Faye thought Clara made sense.
But after listening to Oliver, she felt he also had his own reasoning.
"Actually I’m really curious, back then, why did Luna Fisher, so young and with a promising future, kill Clara’s mother?
Was there such a deep-seated hatred between them to make her go insane like that?"
Oliver stayed silent for a mont and then shook his head: "Let’s not bring up the past.
It’s been over twenty years; I’ve already forgotten what should be forgotten."
Hearing Oliver say this, Faye knew he hadn’t forgotten anything; he just chose to let it go.
Since that’s the case, why dig into soone else’s wounds?
She pursed her lips: "Tonight’s steak tastes good. Earlier I didn’t have much of an appetite, yet now I feel it would be a disservice to Lucia’s culinary skills not to eat.
You should eat so too. Lucia will be going to the hospital later, if you don’t eat now, there won’t be dinner."
"No worries, I’m truly not hungry. I’ll go to the hospital with Lucia later; you can rest well at ho."
"With you guys around, I truly feel at ease, so I’ll thank you in advance."
"Do you say thank you to Kay Forrest as well?" Oliver looked at her, quite serious.
Faye pursed her lips, of course not, she and Forrest don’t need such pointless things.
Seeing her expression, Oliver knew she wouldn’t say thank you to Kay Forrest.
"So, from now on, there’s no need to say thank you between you and either. I don’t like you treating as an outsider."
Faye shrugged with a slight smile: "Then I’ll change."
After Oliver and Lucia left, Faye returned to her room and called Kay Forrest to ask about Clara.
Knowing Clara was doing fine, she felt at ease.
"Didn’t Oliver Turner tell you not to co?"
"I was just about to tell you, you take care of Miya tonight, my head feels a bit foggy, I’m worried I won’t be able to take good care of her if I go."
"What’s wrong, are you okay?"
"I probably slept too much, I’m fine, don’t worry."
"You’re such a worrywart, just take care of yourself. If you don’t feel well, co to the hospital and get checked.
Don’t expect to take care of you, my precious daughter is way more important than you now."
