NovelEnglishChapter 280 Kayla muttered, "Mom really goes overboard; I don't even need all this. Why go through the trouble of sending it?" The bodyguard handed her a few paper bags and said, "Ms. Kayla, Mrs. Fuller made these cakes and cookies for you." She took them, opening each one and then smiled at Felicia, who was already at the door. She loudly said, "Mom's baking is great; they're all my favorite flavors. Felicia, you've never tried her baking, have you? Want to stay and have some?" Felicia, not interested in replying, left without a backward glance.
Yet, as she stepped out of the sanatorium, she paused.
Kayla had acted far too differently today. It was almost as if she were a different person. Her every move and word was layered with strangeness.

The nurse replied, "She was doing very poorly before. She caused disturbances daily-breaking things, even attacking people! Quite a few of us got hurt! "A few days ago, she tried to stab someone in the cafeteria with a fork she grabbed. Thankfully, we managed to stop her in time, or the consequences would've been unimaginable. Oh, and the wound on her forehead happened when she fell during that scuffle." So, that was how it happened.
Felicia caught onto a critical detail and asked, "She was in bad shape before. How is she now?" "Much better now! She cooperates with her medication and injections, but she doesn't interact with others much. Sometimes, she sits alone in her room for an entire day." Felicia asked, "Has she been in contact with anyone from outside recently?" "No, only family members are allowed to visit." "Has she displayed any unusual behavior?" "Hmm..." The nurse thought for a moment, and something cto mind. "If you're asking about strange behavior, she's been sitting alone and laughing a lot lately. Does that count?" "When did that start?" "About three or four days ago, right after she hit her head. Since then, she's been calmer, stopped attacking people, and doesn't cause any trouble." Even as Felicia left the sanatorium, she kept mulling over the nurse's words.
Kayla had been acting out, even resorting to violence. That was in line with her character.
To fall from such heights, be charged with murder, and then be saved by the Fuller family only to end up locked away here under the label of mental illness...
How could Kayla possibly accept the sheer shock? Yet ever since she hurt her head, she had been calm, complying with her medication and treatments and not making a fuss. Had she really changed? Or had she cto terms with her reality, realizing that tantrums were useless and that a shift in attitude might earn Myra's sympathy? After all, she could be released from the sanatorium as soon as Myra softened. And it was only a matter of time. Felicia pondered this for a while, coming up empty, and decided to put it aside for now.
After dropping off the items, the bodyguard was about to leave the sanatorium, but Kayla called him back.
"Rowan, wait! Please give this to my mom for me. Thank you!" Rowan was taken aback and a bit flattered.

He knew all too well about her temperament, she had mocked and belittled him countless times. But he never expected her to end up here. Someone once so spoiled now softened, speaking to him politely and smiling brightly. It was a bit sad, even pitiful.
He accepted her item.
When he returned to the Fuller om residence, he handed it to Myra.
It was a red-thread charm for protection, just like the scarf Kayla just like the had made herself.
