Cara was already awake when Blair arrived. She just looked at Luna without saying a word, but the
look in her eyes made Luna's heart ache.
"Miss Cara, how are you feeling? Does it hurt a lot? Hold on for a while. Mr. Blair will be here in a
minute."
Luna's distressed look made Cara feel very bad.
She thought of Mrs. Shaffer.
She had been thrilled when she first learned of her identity, but Cody Shaffer's words had knocked her
into the abyss.
Cody Shaffer's attitude towards her was indescribable. The look of disgust on his face and the way he
couldn't wait for her to die had made her question her life for a while.
What was wrong with her being a girl?
Did girls deserve to die?
What era was this? It wasn't like the Shaffer family had a throne to inherit. How was it that she couldn't
live because she was a girl? How was it that she couldn't be tolerated by her own parents?
She had thought her mother was the same way, but Mrs. Shaffer's words made her understand a lot.
In fact, Cara had given up struggling and had given up on life. The moment Cody Shaffer told her who
she was, she was devastated.
Since he had given her life, if he wanted to take it back, she would just give it back to him.
She didn't care about her life!
What was the point of living for a child who was not recognized and acknowledged by her parents?
It wasn't until Mrs. Shaffer's arrival and Chad Shaffer's words rang in her ears that Cara realized how
stupid she had been.
Why would she want to die?
Even if everyone didn't love her, she still had Laurence and Mrs. Green.
She didn't have just her parents in her life.
For over twenty years, they had no part in her life, so who were they to decide whether she lived or
died?
Especially when Mrs. Shaffer said that it might be the last time they would see each other, Cara wanted
to open her eyes and look at her mother.
Now Luna, who was with Mrs. Shaffer, even more so, made Cara feel mixed emotions and do not know
what to say.
Blair arrived just in time to relieve Cara's embarrassment.
"Doctor Hawk."
Cara's voice was hoarse and Luna rushed to get some water.
Blair hurriedly said, "Watch your throat. You should try not to talk now. You're quite weak and you need
to recuperate. Nicole will be here soon. If she sees you like this, she'll be upset."
Cara froze slightly and felt like crying.
Was Mrs. Green actually coming?
Cara nodded, feeling exhausted, and then closed her eyes again.
Luna stood aside with the glass of water. She was a little awkward and wondered if she should wake
Cara up.
Cara opened her eyes as if telepathically, and then reached out to take the glass of water.
"Thanks."
Luna suddenly burst into tears.
Cara was really different from Joy.
Joy had grown up to be condescending and impolite. Cara and she were sisters, but she was kind at
first glance.
Blair gave Cara a physical examination, changed the figures, ordered her to rest more, and then went
out.
Morty got busy after Mrs. Shaffer turned in her husband.
Cara opened her eyes after Blair left and looked at Luna and asked in a low voice, "Where did she go?
Is she coming back tomorrow?"
At first, Luna was a little unsure who she was asking about, but when she saw the flash of longing in
Cara's eyes, she immediately understood.
Luna looked a little sad at the thought of Mrs. Shaffer.
"Miss Cara, you need to rest now. Don't worry about anything else for now."
"She's not coming, is she?"
Cara's gaze took on a hint of longing.
Luna didn't know what to say at once.
She turned her head away and didn't say anything. Cara didn't ask any more questions either but
closed her eyes and rested.
Seeing how calm Cara was, Luna felt bad.
‘Miss might never see Cara again as she left this time, and Cara’s feelings for her are really too
indifferent.’
Luna didn't know what to say. But thinking of Cara's health, she kept her mouth shut and gave her time
to rest quietly.
It was already late at night when Nicole arrived at Capital City.
When he heard that his daughter was coming, Xander drove over to pick her up.
When she saw Xander, Nicole's nose twitched and she jumped into his arms, catching him off guard.
"Nicole."
"Dad, you're so bad! How could you do this? What are you doing leaving Mom alone with me? She's
your wife! Can't you talk to us about anything you want to do? Aren't we family? How can you do this?
More than twenty years ago, you left my mother behind, and more than twenty years later, you plan to
leave me and Mum behind again. What kind of man are you? What kind of father are you?"
Nicole rambled on and on, but Xander felt touched.
He had come here determined to bring down the Shaffer family, but he hadn't expected Morty to stop
him, as well as Joseph and Lucas. Now when Morty called him and told him that the Shaffer family was
finished and that he didn't need to do anything, Xander was still a bit confused.
Now embracing his daughter and listening to her scolding, Xander suddenly laughed.
"You're still laughing? Dad, do you know how old you are? Why are you acting like a child? Do you
even know what my mother would do if she knew what you did? You're so sure I won't tell my mother
the truth, aren't you?"
"Yes."
In contrast to Nicole's fury, Xander replied so calmly that he almost drove Nicole mad.
"And you said yes?"
Nicole's eyes snapped open. She was just thinking about having a good talk with Xander when Joseph
and Lucas woke up at the sound of their voices.
"Mummy!"
"Mummy!"
Two childish voices caused Nicole to slightly freeze. She then turned her head and saw Joseph and
Lucas poking their heads out of the back seat of the car. Clearly, they had just woken up.
She couldn't help but glance at Xander and whisper, "Why did you bring them out? They should have
been asleep by now at this hour."
"Weren't they asleep in the back? They had to come and get you, and I couldn't stop them."
Xander said with a doting look on his face.
Nicole couldn't be bothered to nag Xander, and once in the car, she started educating her two sons.
"What are you doing out so late at night?"
"Mummy, look, Eaton."
Lucas hurriedly moved out of the way and Nicole saw Eaton, who was sleeping, lying behind him.
Tears instantly welled up in Nicole's eyes.
Eaton had lost weight.
She didn't have to ask to know that he had suffered. She felt so bad at that moment that she stepped
forward and hugged Eaton. The feeling of having lost and found filled her chest and made her choke up
for a moment.
Joseph whispered, "Mummy, Eaton is fine, but he has lost a lot of blood and needs to rest. It was
Grandpa who brought Eaton back."
Hearing what he said, Nicole turned her head to look at Xander, who just walked over.
Nicole whispered, "Thanks, Dad."
"Silly girl."
Xander stroked Nicole's head and a touch of tenderness crossed his heart. He could still have such
warm days later, right?
As he was thinking, a car drove quickly towards them.
