Only after his figure vanished from the hospital room did Carola’s taut nerves finally begin to relax.
The cold mask she wore started to fracture, bit by bit. She shut her eyes, overcwith exhaustion.
In a certain house...
Baker, Kylee, and Holley gathered together.
The weight of Carola’s icy demeanor had becunbearable for Kylee. When Carola had issued yet another
dismissive command for her to return home, she had finally surrendered to the inevitable and left the hospital.
“Something's clearly troubling you deeply, Kylee. What happened?” Holley’s voice carried the gentle warmth of
genuine concern.
“You're right. Something indeed happened.” Kylee drew in a shuddering breath before unraveling the entire

“What?”
“Oh my God!”
Baker and Holley exclaimed at the stime, their faces reflecting pure shock at the revelation.
“How could such a nightmarish event possibly happen? Kylee, please tellyou weren't harmed in any way?”
Holley’s questions tumbled out in rapid succession.
Kylee’'s head moved in a slow, weary shake as she responded, “I escaped without any physical harm. | was just
frightened. Carola and Belinda were the ones who got hurt.”
“Thank heavens you escaped unscathed.” Holley exhaled deeply, her shoulders sagging with relief.
The tension in Baker's expression visibly melted away after he heard Kylee’'s words.

Then, he said, “And Carola’s reaction—how has she been treating you since that?”
Kylee’s expression crumbled with dejection. “She’s utterly disappointed in me, naturally. We've barely exchanged
words since the incident. She even calledselfish.”
The moment those words left Kylee's lips, Holley’s indignation flared. “Selfish? What twisted logic calls self-
preservation selfish? Every human being would instinctively shield themselves when danger strikes. That's just
basic human nature.”
Baker's voice carried measured disagreement. “Perhaps, but Kylee's actions undeniably wounded Carola’s
heart.”
Holley retorted, “So what if her feelings were hurt? In this harsh world, self-preservation comes first. Kylee did
nothing wrong. Furthermore, Carola is not even Kylee’s real mother. So what if Kylee wants to sacrifice her for
her own safety?”
Baker's eyebrows knitted together in immediate displeasure. He turned toward Holley with blazing eyes.
“Enough of this callous talk! What do you know?” After allowing his anger to settle, Baker continued with
measured words. “This represents a pivotal moment for Kylee’s family reconciliation. Alienating Carola at this
moment would be catastrophically foolish.”
Feeling somewhat wronged by Baker's scolding, Holley pressed her lips into a thin line, falling silent.
