Chapter 1855

Wilfred had been considering visiting Wendy's home. After all, he was effectively one of her attending doctors now.

It wasn't unusual for a doctor to visit a patient's living environment, especially when their condition showed little improvement. But doing so without an invitation felt too forward, and he wasn't comfortable overstepping that boundary. After hearing this, Karina nodded in agreement, then sighed again. "Forget it for now. At least she's here for the time being. We'll just have to keep a closer eye on her."

Following that, Karina began visiting the rehabilitation center regularly. Each time she went, she would bring something for Wendy.

Over time, Wendy's attitude toward her softened, even though she still often greeted Karina with sarcastic remarks. At least now, the hostility had eased somewhat.

One day, Karina set off for another visit, carrying a bag of fresh oranges that Wendy liked.

She had gone to great lengths to pick out the best ones-big, plump, and perfectly ripe. Thinking about Wendy's possible reaction to the thoughtful gesture gave Karina a boost of energy, making her steps feel lighter. But as she approached Wendy's room, she heard shouting from inside.

"You should be grateful your brother came to see you! Not only are you ungrateful, but you act like this? How many times have I told you to take good care of your brother? Everything I say just goes in one ear and out the other, doesn't it?" The voice was sharp and filled with frustration, growing louder and harsher with each word.
