Lilah still seemed trapped in the sadness of the earlier moments, struggling to shake off the gloom.

“Come on, why so down? I'm fine, aren't I?" Brenda tried to lighten the mood, patting her head to offer comfort.

“Brenda, you scared me to death. I thought..." Lilah managed between sobs.

"Lilah, no more tears. Can you go check on Dr. Hanson for me?"

Brenda requested, sending her away.

Miranda's condition hadn't improved significantly.

She was truly exhausted. Lilah arranged for a doctor to administer a nutrient infusion and stayed by her side, watching her pallid face.

A deep ache filled Lilah's heart-this woman was her sister. Her unacknowledged biological sister.

At that moment, Lilah couldn't even pinpoint why she felt so profoundly sad; she simply felt an overwhelming sense of empathy for her.

What had Miranda done to deserve such suffering?

“Is Brenda alright?" Miranda suddenly opened her eyes and asked.

Stunned, Lilah quickly told her, “Don't worry, she's fine. How are you feeling? Should I call the doctor?"

"No need," Miranda replied indifferently. "The nutrient infusion is enough. Leave me alone for a bit."

Reluctantly, Lilah left the room.

Over the next week, as Brenda recuperated, Gerard rounded up Jameson's accomplices and ensured they were punished.

Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

However, there was one unresolved issue—-Miranda had vanished.

One dark, windy night, she disappeared without a word.

Lilah, though accustomed to Miranda's unpredictable ways, felt a deep sense of emptiness in her heart.

After several days of reflection, Lilah realized that the only way to truly honor Miranda was taking revenge on her enemies.

That evening, upon returning from work, she went directly to the Morris residence.

Absolon had prepared a lavish feast in her honor. As they dined, Lilah casually inquired about Karol.

Absolon's brow furrowed instinctively, and he exchanged a glance with Danna, who looked displeased but remained silent.

“Never mind, I was just asking. I'll be on my way then," Lilah said, sensing the tension. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she excused herself and left the Morris household.
