Skylar was overjoyed due to the concern from her mother. To her, that was better than being totally ignored. She guessed that only her mother would still treat her as a daughter from a high-status family. In the eyes of others, she was just a murderer’s daughter who had been abandoned by her own father.
“There is nothing bad about it. There are things which are hard to explain to you.” She was too tired to do any explaining. Currently, she just wanted to keep quiet while wondering what happened on Tobias’s side. Additionally, she feared that she had severely offended Claudia.
Previously, she didn’t harbor any hope that Tobias would marry her.
Currently, it seemed even more hopeless.
The next morning, Skylar who had not slept for the whole night gave Tobias a call but he didn’t pick up. Miranda already put on a wig and dressed up in a khaki-colored dress with a floral design. On top of that, she also put on the shades. It was as though she was going on vacation.
“Do I look good?” Miranda looked at the mirror and put on a smile which she thought was the most perfect smile.
“Appeared to be an old-fashioned look,” Skylar commented.
Miranda rolled her eyes at her daughter. “I asked a nurse called Wincy to buy it for me. By the way, where are we going to stay after I discharge from here?”
Skylar was in a dilemma as the house belonged to Tobias. In spite of that, he didn’t have the intention to invite Miranda to stay with them. Nevertheless, this was normal as no one wished to be disturbed. Furthermore, he preferred the house to be quiet.
Skylar remained silent for some moments and Miranda asked again, “Don’t tell me that I don’t have a home to go to.”
Skylar replied, “I’ll find a house for you.”
Then, Miranda was satisfied while she chuckled, “Initially, I thought that a daughter is not good. However, now I understand that having a daughter is actually better. Mom’s beloved yet caring daughter, when are you going to introduce your boyfriend to me?”
Miranda just recalled after leaving the ward. She stood in the corridor and stared at Skylar when she was asking her that question.
“He is very busy, so he is not free.” Skylar answered perfunctorily.
Skylar pointing to herself, “Please take a look at me. Do I look like I can afford a house? I am just renting a place.”
Miranda started to criticize Skylar, “You are just so foolish. Tell me what do you get by getting involved in a relationship with a married man. He doesn’t even give you the money! To make things worse, you even need to rent a house to live in. Are you sacrificing in the name of love?”
Miranda talked endlessly and thus causing Skylar a headache. In turn, she wished to know why was her mother still couldn’t forget Thomas. Did he give her anything?
After Miranda had settled down, Skylar received a call from the university informing her about the registration of the B2 French exam. She had been absent from class for two days without a reason. Hence, she definitely wouldn’t be able to pass this term’s examination if she kept on skipping classes.
Skylar asked Miranda, “Can you stay here alone as I need to go and settle something?”
Miranda probed her, “Where do you want to go? You just left me here all by myself. I have just been set free and I know nothing. I don’t even know how to switch on the television yet you are not worried.”
