<b>With </b><b>just </b>a few words, <b>Ka </b>managed to regain control of the situation. She came up with a reasonable exnation for herself and portrayed herself as the victim. That <b>way</b><b>, </b>she could make people forget what she had done, leaving only sympathy and pity for her.
Once Ka finished speaking<b>, </b>Myra’s expression softened considerably.
So, that was what happened. Well, that made some sense.
Myra repeatedly reminded herself that she had brought up Ka with so much effort, dedicating all her energy and love. She was kind, innocent, naive<b>, </b>and adorable. She was definitely not the cold–hearted, ungrateful person Myra had just imagined her to be.
Gradually, Myra seemed to convince herself.
She paused for a moment before briefly recounting the events of the previous night. However, she skipped over the part about being saved by the girl in ck and only mentioned <b>that </b>she was rescued by the police.
<b>Ka </b>was eager to move past the topic. Although she felt that Myra and Dexter were incredibly lucky, she didn’t dare to ask more questions.
Myra continued, “Your dad is injured and in the hospital. He needs someone to care for him. I’ll pack some clothes and head over. What about you, Ka?”
<b>“</b><b>I’ll </b><b>go </b>too! Mom, I can take care of you and Dad. Don’t worry!” Ka responded.
<b>“</b>Good girl.” Myra smiled with relief.
When the mother and daughter arrived at the hospital, Dexter was still unconscious.
<b>To </b>show her care and filial devotion, Ka prepared a basin of warm water and gently wiped Dexter’s face. After that, she used a cotton swab to dab water on Dexter’s cracked lips. <b>Even </b>though those were small gestures, her careful attention proved she had put her heart into it.
Witnessing the scene, Myra felt deeply reassured.
“Mom, you’ve stayed up all night. Go get some rest now. I’ll take care of Dad here. Don’t worry,” Ka said thoughtfully.
After staying up all night, Myra was mentally and physically drained. She truly felt exhausted. She gave a small nod and said, “Alright, I won’t go far. I’ll take a nap <b>at </b><b>a </b>nearby hotel ande back to switch with youter.”
“<b>Mm</b>–hmm.” Ka nodded obediently.
The moment Myra walked away, her gaze fell on the still–unconscious Dexter lying on the hospital bed. The smile on her face disappeared in an instant, leaving only irritation.
Enough was enough.
She had assumed that Dexter, having once been the wealthiest man in Khogend, would have the capability to rebuild his fortune and reim his position. However, <b>it </b>turned out she had overestimated him. novelbin
If Dexter truly had any capability, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a state–beaten to the brink of death, leaving his wife and daughter living in constant fear. There was <b>no </b>future with the Fuller family. She couldn’t let herself remain stuck with them. She had to think of a way to secure a better path forward. Frustration surged through Ka. The map in her hands was her ace, but the problem was, she couldn’t decipher the constetion on it at all.
<b>It </b>seemed like there <b>was </b>only one option left. She had to divide the constetions on the map into sections and find various pretexts to seek help from different <b>people </b><b>to </b>decipher them.
Without wasting any time<b>, </b>Ka sprang into action. Seizing the moment while the ward was empty, she took out the map she had been keeping close to her, held it <b>up </b><b>to </b>the light, and prepared to cut it into <b>pieces</b>.
Just as she was about <b>to </b><b>act</b><b>, </b>a hoarse voice sounded behind her, questioning in disbelief, “Ka, what is that in your hand?”
Startled<b>, </b>Ka Immediately turned around, only <b>to </b><b>see </b>that Dexter had woken up at some point. His cloudy eyes were fixed on her and the map she hadn’t managed to conceal.
