“Skylar, don’t bother coming back if you step out of the door!” Sadie gaped at Skylar in shock, who had just left decisively.

The veins on Sadie’s temples throbbed with rage, Skylar was extremely out of line today!

*How dare she? Jeff, what are we going to do now?” Infuriated, Sadie swerved toward Jeffrey.

Jeffrey trailed after Skylar solemnly. His expression darkened when he saw how she left the hospital without a hint of hesitation.

“She doesn’t have any money with her, so there’s nowhere she can go. She’ll apologize to us tomorrow. Then, we can proceed with the blood transfusion.”

Skylar couldn’t shy away from her responsibility to donate her blood to Maisy. She might have thrown a huge tantrum earlier, but she would show up all docile and submissive again tomorrow.

Maisy was determined to prove her utmost significance in the family to Skylar. Everyone cherished her, and even Skylar’s identity as the Williams family’s biological daughter couldn’t change that.

A smile spread across her features as she imagined Gloria Hinman’s delighted smile on the other end of the phone.

Skylar mused over her past after she hung up. Gloria was an old friend of Viola Zindel’s, who was neighbors with Skylar’s adoptive mother, Janine Yancey.

Viola had moved to the countryside around three decades ago. Skylar had thought that Viola must have been lonely, so she had kept Viola company during her free time. In return, Viola had taught her many things.

Later, Skylar had left the countryside for college. One time, when Viola had visited her at her college, she had brought Gloria with her as well. Skylar had kept in touch with Gloria since then.
