Regardless of how Helen was doing, Melody knew she had to see her. After all, her mother had given her life, so how could Melody abandon her when she needed her the most? Besides, no matter what happened in the past, Melody would finally be able to bid farewell to the past after fulfilling her duty as a daughter one last time. With this resolve, Melody knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Helen blinked as she looked towards the door, but the hospital ward was empty. Even if she had heard something, she could not speak.
"Cough, cough—" Melody and Lucas exchanged a glance. "Is there no one inside?" Lucas already had a feeling. There probably was not anyone there to care for Helen. "Let's just go in." Melody had mentally prepared herself for the worst, but when she pushed open the door and saw Helen lying there, unable to move more than her head, with no one to care for her, she could not help but feel a pang of sadness.
'Did she ever imagine she'd end up like this when she treatedthat way in the past?' she wondered.
"You..." Melody lowered her gaze, took a deep breath, and approached Helen.

"I... I'm...okay. Y-You?" Helen struggled to answer, using all her strength to utter those few words.

"Where's Ethan? And Wendy? Why aren't they here taking care of you? as H Even if the family isn't as rich as the before, they should still be able to hire a caregiver for you, right? Where are they?" After Melody posed this series of questions, she realized that given Helen's current state, she could not possibly answer.
Just by looking at how shabby the hospital ward was, it was evident that it Ethan and Wendy had not put in any effort or expense.
'After all the sacrifice I've given to that family...only to end up like this,' thought Helen. She tried to blink back her tears, but they rolled down her cheeks nonetheless. X
