After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

Jolie instinctively glanced at Selena after hearing that, noticing the awkward expression on her face. After a brief pause, she suddenly called out, "Sister." Selena shot up from her seat as if startled.

"I think I'll skip the oranges. I just remembered I have something to do. I'll head out first," she said quickly.

Without waiting for Jolie to respond, she hurried out of the hospital room, looking like she was running from a pack of wild animals.

Jackie blinked in surprise. "What was that about?"

Jolie replied casually, "Maybe... she felt embarrassed."

Jackie chuckled warmly. "That's normal, perfectly normal. When there's tension and one side tries to make peace, the other usually feels awkward. Your relationship with Selena always seems a bit like this, doesn't it?"

Jolie lowered her gaze slightly and said softly, "She left home a long time ago."

Jackie raised her eyebrows. "Sounds like there's been some serious conflict."

Jolie didn't elaborate. The fact that Selena was willing to visit her was enough to make her happy. She had called her "sister," and Selena hadn't objected. For that, Jolie felt content.
