Taylor’s voice suddenly rose. “Although I have never acknowledged you as my daughter, the Olsen family has raised you. Is this the attitude you use to speak to

After that, she shook her head. “That shouldn’t be the case. The bottle I gave you had a hundred pills; that’s enough for three months.”

Mrs. Olsen said with a smile, “I’m fine, just been
