Just then, Samuel, Aileen, and Naomi entered the ward.
Seeing the pitiful Kyla, Aileen had mixed feelings. After all, she used to dote on Kyla so much.
Naomi told her and Samuel everything yesterday.
Aileen passed out a few times, and Samuel, who had quit smoking over a decade ago, started to smoke again
while sitting aside, looking disappointed and helpless.
“Kyla, why?”
Everyone who learned the truth would ask Kyla this.
Why?
Why would she do this? She had already had so much more than Grace.
Kyla was silent for a second.
She looked at Samuel, Aileen, and Naomi.
Suddenly, she smiled bitterly, “Yeah, you've doted onfor more than ten years. So what? She’s the one who's
related to you by blood.”
For so many years, she had been bothered by the words “blood ties".
Sthings were innate in blood ties, which were the most

“Silly girl!” Aileen bit her lip. “But you're not the only silly one...
“We were all wrong...”
She was completely in despair.
Looking at Antonio, she asked, “Where's Grace? Have you fetched someone to look for her?”
She slumped to the floor, overwhelmed by regret and pain.
Samuel and Naomi looked equally distressed.
Apparently, they had a sleepless night.
“Grace is my daughter, my own daughter. And | actually drove her away. | can’t even begin to imagine how
disappointed she must be in me. She must have hated my guts. When | gave birth to her, | cherished her so
much; she meant the world to me. When she went missing, | even wanted to die.
“Why? Why would | do this to her? What kind of mom am 1? | don’t deserve to be her mom at all...”
Aileen sobbed uncontrollably.
Samuel held her in silence.
After a long time, he finally spoke.
“Antonio, Naomi and | have used all our connections to look for Grace. | know you're anxious, too, and you're
also looking for her. Please. If you find anything-anything at all, please, letknow, OK? I'm begging you.”

With that, he was about to bow to Antonio.

Antostopped him. “Mr. Parrish, looking for Grace is what | should do.”
“Thank you, Antonio. Please let us know if there's any update. We owe Grace, and we have to make it up to her
whether she accepts and forgives us or not...” Aileen murmured.
This whole time, neither she nor Samuel even shot Kyla a glance.
“Antonio, in our family, those who do wrong must be punished.”
Naomi held Aileen, who was weak all over, and said, her eyes bloodshot.
“Kyla asked for it. She should face the legal consequences.”
Finally, Kyla could no longer hold back.
She screamed, “No! Dad, Mom, Naomi, how could you?
“How could you do this to me?
“I'm part of the family, too! My surnis Parrish, too! It's been over two decades. Don’t you loveat all?

“Antonio! Antonio, please. I'm willing to apologize to Grace. I'll do whatever you wantto do to earn her
forgiveness.”
She looked so frantic and pathetic.
She crawled toward Antonio, but the latter stepped back

Then she tried to grab Samuel and Aileen, who stepped back,
too.
Even Aileen, who was usually the most soft-hearted one, didn’t waver.
Aileen looked at Kyla, the adopted daughter she had doted on for over twenty years, and her eyes were filled
with
disappointment.
“Kyla, don’t bother begging. You brought this upon yourself.
“You stole Grace's life from her and have been enjoying her life for so many years. It’s tto return it to her.
“We won't indulge you anymore. You must face the consequences of your actions.”
