The conversation between the two was brief yet heart-wrenching.

Karol caught every word from outside the door, like an uninvited witness.

Inside, she laughed bitterly to herself.

Absolutely ridiculous, utterly laughable.

No wonder Absolon was so cold-hearted towards her; he was already planning to acknowledge another daughter.

Now he had two daughters, no wonder he saw her as a useless burden.

Karol felt a sudden blockage in her heart, casting a deep glance at the door, a malicious idea brewing within her.

That night, the media reported Miranda's heroic rescue at the Morris family estate, and the news of the renowned healer appearing in Eleywood spread rapidly online.

Someone even uploaded surveillance footage of Miranda's arrival, inviting public scrutiny.

Consequently, Miranda faced significant disturbances in the following days.

"Who knew Auntie was so amazing? She's incredible! Jerrold wants to learn from her and become knowledgeable in medicine too, " Jerrold exclaimed excitedly, eyes glued to the posts on his tablet.

Lilah and Miranda, however, couldn't muster a smile.

The reason was that Miranda had been depicted as bordering on the supernatural, with claims that she cured Danna, who was on the brink of death, as if she were a legendary healer reincarnated, earning awe and admiration from all.

When things seem too good to be true, there's often something sinister afoot.

Two days later, Danna's condition severely worsened again.

Previously, she could sit up and occasionally walk around, but now she lacked the strength to move, reverting to her pre-treatment state.

Strange comments flooded the internet once more.

"It seems that so-called miracle doctor isn't all that effective; she didn't really cure the patient, did she?"

"Maybe she never had the skill to heal, just got lucky. If Danna faces any mishap, she won't be able to wash her hands of it."

"What a malicious thought! I know why Danna suddenly worsened; it's because the Morris family has a grudge with Dr. Hanson. The latter was just seeking revenge, never intended to genuinely save her."

Online, criticism against Miranda was rampant.

"These people are so mean! Auntie was trying to help, yet they're slandering her, " Jerrold frowned.

"Daddy, can you help Auntie? She's being criticized so much she can't even leave the house," Jerrold pleaded, jumping into Gerard's arms.

Gerard, a bit helpless, ruffled his son's fluffy hair with a smile. "Don't worry, you don't need to remind me."
