After striking out with Coleen, Vivian turned to Anya and asked, "Who are you?"

Anya replied coolly, "I didn't plan on making friends with you, so there's no need for us to get to know each other."

A bit later, Coleen stepped in and shooed Vivian away.

In the dead of night, Anya, half-asleep by Coleen's bedside, felt a gentle tap on her shoulder. "Anya, your aunt's here."

Anya groggily sat up, seeing Molly's tear-streaked face. "Auntie."

Molly placed her hands on Anya's shoulders, "Thank you so much, Anya. You've been a big help. Leo will be here soon to take you home."

Anya glanced over and noticed Chad standing nearby. The tension between him and Molly was palpable, like a couple giving each other the silent treatment after a fight.

Not knowing how to bridge the gap between them, Anya just nodded and waited for Leo to come pick her up from the hospital.

"Who came by today?" Molly asked softly.

Anya thought for a moment, "A guy named Wang, claiming to be Coleen's nephew, showed up, but I turned him away. Then, a woman came to deliver food, but Coleen sent her packing. Other than that, just Uncle Su. He told me to go home, but I refused. Seeing how stubborn I was, Uncle Su let me sleep on the sofa while he slept in his car downstairs. He came to check on Coleen just a little while ago."

With limited space on the sofa, Kendrick wanted to stay with his wife, but Anya, being the stubborn girl she was, refused to leave Coleen's side after promising Molly.

No matter how much they tried to convince her, Anya wouldn't budge. It was awkward for Kendrick to stay in the room with a strange girl, so he let Anya have the sofa and slept in his car downstairs, coming up occasionally to check on his wife.

Molly nodded, "Thank you, Anya, for looking after my mom."

"Don't mention it, Auntie. I'm always here to help. If Auntie hadn't been on maternity leave, she would've been the one here... Oh, wait, she would've been out there fighting with you. So I guess it's good that I was here." Anya realized, Auntie seemed like a tough lady who wouldn't miss out on a fight.
