Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 371 - Bab 380

Winifred gritted her teeth and stammered, "It's… M-Mrs. Lloyd. She's back. And there's a woman with her."Penelope's heart slammed against her ribs, like something heavy had dropped inside her."What?" She swallowed, dread clawing its way up her throat.Thank God Eugene wasn't here. And over the past five years, her trusted aides had increasingly filled Lloyd Manor."Jackie died in that car crash five years ago," Penelope spat, her eyes hardening. "Who knows if it's just some random lookalike trying to scam us? Get rid of them."She crossed the room and dropped onto the couch.She'd planned to have Jacklyn thrown out on the spot. But before Winifred could even move, Jacklyn walked in like she owned the place, with Romy right behind her.Penelope froze, fury and disbelief flashing across her face. But Jacklyn met her gaze, steady and unbothered."What are you doing here?" Penelope snapped. She'd braced for everything, except Jacklyn actually showing up.Jacklyn cut straight to

After seeing the DNA test results, Romy let go of her doubts.Now, all she could think about was how much Lucy had been through, and her heart ached. She exchanged a few polite words with Jacklyn and left with Lucy.Jacklyn watched them go, her eyes growing dim. Something felt off. She could sense it. She looked up, studying the hospital staff passing by.If she were Penelope, the most effective way to keep Romy from the truth would be to make her believe Lucy was truly her daughter.The hair samples hadn't been tampered with, so the problem had to be with the hospital.…The evening was damp and hazy, with a thick mist hanging over Lloyd Manor.Amanda hurried inside, clutching her coat tighter around her. As soon as she stepped in, Penelope's anxious voice broke the silence."Well? Did you take care of things at the hospital?"Amanda nodded. "It's done. You can relax now."Only then did Penelope lean back, the tension easing from her body. "Good. Even if Jacklyn drags Romy i

The day before, Jacklyn had shared her suspicions with Liam. She believed someone at the DNA testing lab might have shady ties to Penelope and asked him to investigate the matter.The results came in early this morning, and he came straight over.Liam handed her the documents. "I checked everyone who handled the hair sample. Their records are clean. None of them has any connection to Penelope."The answer took her by surprise. She frowned as she flipped through the pages. "No tampering? So, Lucy really is Romy's daughter?"But as doubt crept in, Jacklyn couldn't shake the memory of how unusually concerned Penelope had been for Lucy during the show's filming."No." She shook her head. "Penelope wouldn't suddenly care about a random child without a reason. I still believe something is off. Liam, if the staff are clean, maybe something else went wrong at the hospital.""Something else? Like what?" Liam asked.Jacklyn lowered her gaze. "Let me think it through."…That afternoon,

Jacklyn continued, "Yesterday, while you were filling in for Joanne, you hung the IV without doing a skin test, and the patient went into shock. It's all on camera. Did you really think you'd get away with it?"Felicia's expression tensed. She snatched Jacklyn's phone, her lips turning pale."Shock? That can't be…"She'd been so focused on delivering the DNA results. Somewhere in the middle of it all, she might've hung an IV bag. She couldn't even remember.Felicia stared at the replay again and again. Her shoulders slumped, as if all the life had drained from her in an instant."I-I didn't know this would happen," she said, her voice tight with panic.Jacklyn took her phone back, her tone cold. "But it did. The patient is in critical condition. He nearly died. Right now, the family is too focused on looking after him to come after you. But once he pulls through, do you really think they'll let it go?"A textbook malpractice like that would fall squarely on whoever was responsib

Having said her piece, Amanda wasted no time in publicly calling out Felicia online. She demanded proof and accused her of creating the entire mess out of spite. She also warned that if Felicia continued making false accusations, she would report her to the police.In response, Felicia, who had been loudly "exposing" Amanda earlier, fell silent. Now, everyone was pressuring Felicia to provide evidence that she had been bribed.A silent afternoon gave way to a changing tide. Some even started to suspect Felicia had invented the story just to clear her name.Reading the flood of online comments, Felicia broke into a nervous sweat. She grabbed Jacklyn's arm and insisted, "Amanda really was the one who told me to do it, I swear! Why would I risk my job for no reason? I don't even hold a grudge against any of you!""I believe you, but that's not what matters. If you want to clear your name, you'll need solid proof that Amanda told you to do this," Jacklyn said.Felicia grew more franti
