When Karina was a child, Mr. and Mrs. Stone barely acknowledged her, and Kieran mostly treated her as a target for pranks. Back then, he was too young for the darker thoughts he would develop later. But even then, his behavior was hard to endure. Some people didn’t become awful as they grew up. They were terrible from the very beginning. At the time, Kieran’s pranks were relentless. Sometimes, he locked her outside on purpose. Other times, he “lost” her homework, leaving her unable to turn it in and getting her punished. Then, when she came home, Mr. Stone would scold her, calling her an embarrassment. “They treated you like that?” Wilfred’s voice was tight with anger. Karina nodded slightly. “When I was a child, I didn’t understand. It wasn’t until I grew up that I realized it was because I wasn’t their biological child.” Wilfred scoffed coldly. “That’s just an excuse. If they never planned to treat you well, why bother bringing you into their home in the first place?”

Mrs. Stone’s face turned grim. Moments later, a nurse stepped forward and pulled her away, allowing Karina to enter the hospital room. Her eyes fell on the bed, and she froze. “Kieran, you’re awake?” Karina stared at him, her face a mixture of surprise and confusion. It was baffling that no one in the hospital had mentioned he had regained consciousness, especially with nurses assigned to watch over him. Wilfred’s expression grew colder as he glanced at the nurse behind him. “Who was on duty?” The nurse lowered her head. “It was Mandy…” “She’s fired. Tell her not to come back,” Wilfred said bluntly, leaving no room for discussion. No one dared to speak up. Kieran’s eyes flickered with panic but quickly settled into feigned composure. He sneered and turned the blame on her. “What are you doing here? Haven’t you done enough to ruin me? This is a hospital, Karina. Don’t do anything stupid.” He shot a glance at Wilfred, his tone dripping with mockery. “If someone

Karina’s pale skin made the fiery red handprint on her cheek strikingly clear, almost shocking to see. Mrs. Stone took a step back not out of guilt, but because of the look in Karina’s eyes. It sent a shiver through her. “What’s with that look? Are you saying I hit you for no reason?” she snapped. “No,” Karina replied, her voice calm and steady. It was as though she didn’t even feel the burning pain on her cheek. In fact, the pain was grounding that it kept her focused. “Actually, I should thank you.” That slap had completely shattered any lingering desire Karina had for familial love. Mrs. Stone stammered, at a loss for words. When Karina was weak, Mrs. Stone felt brave enough to slap her. But now that Karina stood firm, Mrs. Stone shrank back in fear. Looking at Mrs. Stone’s cowering demeanor, Karina suddenly recalled the woman she had known from childhood. Mrs. Stone had always seemed timid and docile. She was easily frightened and bound by outdated ideas.

Wilfred’s eyes softened with a rare hint of amusement, making him seem more approachable than usual. “Just over the past couple of days, I leaked the news about Kieran’s drug use.” Karina immediately understood. While opinions online varied, one thing remained consistent: zero tolerance for drug abuse. With Kieran now branded as both a liar and a drug user, people naturally wouldn’t believe anything he said. In fact, if she checked the forums, she would probably see people who had insulted her now turning on him instead. But those online battles didn’t matter to Karina. What mattered most to her was clearing her name, and somehow, without her even realizing it, someone had restored that for her. No amount of words could fully express the gratitude and warmth in her heart. So instead, she simply said, “Dr. Wilfred, I won’t let you down.” From that moment on, Karina buried herself in the project materials. She spent her days and nights studying, and to others, it seemed

Karina let out a breath of relief, feeling the timing couldn’t have been better. She didn’t dwell on whether Orion had intentionally bailed her out. It didn’t seem fair to project adult motives onto a child. But in truth, Orion was every bit as clever as his actions suggested. Nina smiled gently as she ruffled Orion’s hair. “I should’ve known you’d be greedy. I didn’t bring you here to snack your way through the hospital.” Karina quickly waved her hands, dismissing any concern. The atmosphere grew quiet for a moment. Nina sat with her head slightly bowed, her calm demeanor radiating a quiet elegance. She reminded Karina of autumn leaves—tranquil and soft. Sitting across from her, Karina couldn’t help but feel inferior. Nina’s effortless grace only highlighted her own unease. Lowering her head, Karina mumbled, “I’m so sorry, Miss Walker. I didn’t expect you to come. I should’ve prepared something in advance. If you’d like, I can step out and get something for you.”
