Tanya was still dazed when Hillary’s shout woke her up.She hadn’t slept all night because she was
watching over Mia.She had only just started having some shuteye in the morning when she was woken
up.
After that, she was pushed out of the ward.
It wasn’t until she was outside the ward and when the doctors and nurses, both inside and outside, as
well as the patients’ family members all cast strange looks at her that she finally reacted.
Hillary did not go to Mia right away.
Instead, she continued to verbally abuse Tanya.
“Are you also going to steal my daughter when you’ve already stolen my man? Tanya, why are you so
shameless ?”
“Don’t you even think about taking my daughter from me!”
“She’s my daughter! Mine!”

Everyone looked at Tanya reproachfully.
Some people even pointed at her as they spoke.
“She must be someone’s mistress, right?”
“Ugh, people who destroy someone else’s family are so shameless!!!”
Of course, there were also some reasonable people who spoke up for Tanya.
“…It’s not easy to be someone’s stepmother these days!”
“Yeah, she watched over that little girl the whole night.I thought they were mother and daughter, but as it
turns out, she’s actually her stepmother?”
“.It’s pretty nice that a stepmother can do as much as she did!”
Be it positive or negative, all the comments made Tanya feel as if her cheeks were burning, and she
subconsciously wanted to flee.
But she couldn’t.
Mia was still here.
Joel had entrusted her with Mia.She didn’t know what exactly had happened between Joel and Hillary,
but she knew that Mia didn’t like Hillary, and was wanted to stay with Joel instead.She looked into the
ward.
Hillary’s loud yells had woken Mia up.
It had been five to six years since she last saw her.
She looked as charming as ever and didn’t seem to have changed much.
Even the way she defended and protected Hillary so indiscriminately was still the same as before.
She smiled wryly and lowered her head.She had never understood why a mother like her existed.
It was almost as if she found pleasure in belittling her own daughter.
In fact, she was even dubious about whether she really was her daughter or not?! Tanya clenched her

She suddenly raised her head and looked at her again.
Just as she was about to say something, Joel’s sharp, icy-cold voice traveled over.
“Is that so? How come I didn’t know that there’s a marriage agreement between the Smiths and the
Joneses?”
As his voice rang out, he finally strode over quickly and stood beside Tanya.
He had waited anxiously outside the operating room during Quentin’s operation in the day, and also
accompanied Nora when she went to take revenge the night before.
As a result, he hadn’t had any shuteye for a whole thirty hours.
The whites of his eyes were all bloodshot at the moment.
The violent aura around him because of Quentin’s accident had yet to dissipate.
Thus, despite just simply standing there, there was a bloodthirsty and murderous aura all around him,
which made everyone around him fall silent and not dare to speak.
The way he looked frightened Mrs.Jones, who blanked out for a moment.
Then, she stammered, “M-Mr.Smith, why are you here?”
