Mikayla was no goody two shoes herself. She had guessed what Natasha was harboring.

Perhaps Natasha banked on the fact that Mikayla would never expose her in public owing to her illness. That was a smart move.

If Mikayla wished to risk it and rat Natasha out, of course, she would need evidence. However, those people in the Ludwig family would surely rebuke her before she could reveal anything.

Natasha was already so sick, so as her sister-in-law, Mikayla figured she should never be seen pressing on the matter. Besides, Natasha had always sported a thoughtful, sensible image in the family. Mikayla, in contrast, had nothing to impress.

Keeping mum would only imply owning up to the things she never did and admitting to being a jealous sister-in-law; yet, asserting her view would mean being thoughtless about Natasha's illness, not to mention being accused of slandering in the end.

If it had taken Natasha a long time to plot all that, Mikayla could only applaud Natasha's effortless pretense. Not only that, but Natasha was even scheming as hell.

Natasha bawled her eyes out and fell asleep while Selena held Natasha's hand by the hospital bed.

Sometime later, Myla brought something over. The sight of Mikayla elicited a murderous intent in her eyes.

Even so, Mikayla understood for being deemed the culprit in causing the girl Myla watched grow up to land in the hospital.

Mikayla flashed Myla a faint smile, not caring about their prejudice toward her. If anything, she was amazed by Myla's loyalty.

After Conor checked on Natasha diligently, he gave the rest some pointers before letting them take her home.

Carlos took the wheel while Mikayla sat in the passenger seat; Garrett, Selena, and Natasha sat in the back.

Just the day before, they had been a harmonious family, but that very day when they sat in the same car, only silence accompanied them.
