Nina's eyes flashed with disappointment.

In her eyes, Jean was her son but she was not her daughter...

"Whether or not I'm lying to you, you'll soon know the truth. In the afternoon, ask the nurse to push you to the hospital's detention ward. That's when you'll know whether or not I'm lying to you." Nina spun around and left the ward after speaking.

Anna's cursing could be heard from behind. Nina was not willing to listen and was not bothered by it.

From childhood all the way to adulthood, she had only ever held a place in Anna's heart when Jean was still doing alright.

When Jean started walking a crooked path, her status in Anna's eyes starting falling as well. She could not understand. She had given everything she had to Jean, including the chance to further her studies.

He ultimately failed to become a good person, yet Anna pushed all the blame on Nina.

'Why is this happening to me? Is it because I'm not a son?'

Nina felt her limbs weaken. She sat on the long bench along the corridor of the hospital and took a deep breath.

The thought of it made her sigh helplessly. Her phone rang, and Nina answered the call. "Hello?"

"Hi, I'm calling from the public security bureau. We're informing you that we've moved Jean into the detention ward where he will continue to receive his treatment. Please take note of the visiting hours and location if you wish to visit him." A man's voice was heard.

"Alright, got it." Nina hung up the call. There were specific hours to visit someone who was in the detention ward. If she did not follow the timing, she would not be able to visit Jean.

Currently, she was clueless about what to do next. All she could do was wait for Tyrone to get out of the life-threatening crisis before thinking of her next step.

She wanted to seize the chance to peacefully reach a settlement for Jean's sake.

As soon as she hung up the call, Nina's phone rang once again. This time, it was a number she was unfamiliar with. She answered, "Hello?"
