Chapter 996: The Role of the Jade Armour Jennie couldn't bear to hear anyone speak ill of Tina, but learning about the severity of the child's illness filled her with sorrow.

"Nancy, no one wanted anything to happen to Oliver. Besides, Tina is here because I begged her to come treat Oliver. What reason would she have to harm him? She doesn't even know who Oliver is," Jennie said firmly.

Nancy, her eyes red with anger, glared at Jennie with a flash of hatred in her gaze. "Jennie, have you lost your mind? Are you really going to value someone who has nothing to do with you more than your own sister?"

"Don't speak about Tina like that!" Jennie's voice rose, her anger uncharacteristically visible.

Tina, who had been silent until now, watched Nancy carefully, wondering how long she could keep up the act. Hugo had been right-this family knew how to exploit Jennie's soft heart, using her kindness to their advantage.

Tina stepped forward and stood in front of Jennie. "Jennie, it's fine," she said with a calm voice. Then she turned to Nancy, her tone cold and detached. "I'll make sure Oliver is fine. Nothing will happen to him."

Nancy turned her head away stubbornly. "Oliver has less than a month left. I won't let you torture him any further. I'm not handing him over to you."

Tina responded without hesitation. "If you don't, then he truly only has a month left." Nancy was momentarily speechless.

Jennie seized the chance to mediate, her tone soft and conciliatory. After all, Nancy was her younger sister, and Jennie couldn't bear to let a tragedy unfold. "Nancy, you haven't seen what Tina is capable of. If anyone in this world can save Oliver, it's Tina."

Nancy, who had only dared to act out in front of Jennie, realized she was outnumbered. Now that even Jennie was standing up for Tina, there was no point in continuing her resistance. She was aware of her precarious position as someone living under Jennie's roof and knew better than to push her luck further.

Jennie, familiar with her sister's spoiled temperament, knew that a little coaxing would resolve the situation. After casting an apologetic glance at Tina, she addressed both women. "It's settled, then. Tina will handle Oliver's treatment. Nancy, if you're unwilling to come to the hospital, I'll take over. You've been by Oliver's side day and night, and it's wearing you out."

Nancy didn't respond, but her silence was as good as an agreement.

Jennie, relieved to avoid further conflict, could only think of this compromise as the best solution. On one side was Tina, whom she treated like her own daughter, and on the other was her long-lost sister.
