Lilah silently watched this scene.

Miranda also remained silent, her gaze at the two filled with a tinge of bitterness, overshadowed by envy.

She didn't know how much time had passed before the mother and daughter, tired from playing, noticed their presence.

It was ironic; they were truly the happiest mother-daughter pair in the world, with no room for a third person between them.

Lilah patted Miranda's shoulder, seeking her opinion.

After a moment of silence, Miranda nodded with difficulty.

Back in the ward, after exchanging some formalities, while Miranda opened the food she had prepared, Lilah spoke with a smile, "Ms. Joselyn, perhaps our arrival has caused you some trouble. We apologize for that. We brought some gifts today as a token of our apology. We'll be leaving tomorrow, heading back to Eleywood. Here's our address, in case you want to contact us."

"Why would my mom want to contact you? You're overthinking it!"

Lillie said coldly.

"Lillie, be quiet, " Joselyn uncharacteristically scolded her.

Lilah said, "I've said all I needed to say. These are gifts for you.

She took out the items she had bought from the mall: a fine jade bracelet, a beautiful bag, and some other things.

Joselyn quietly watched them, not reaching out to accept the gifts.

She seemed to be struggling, unsure of what to do.

Everyone remained silent, except for Lillie, who occasionally glanced at Lilah, as if waiting for something.

But even as Lilah left, the expected reaction didn't come.

Lillie was somewhat annoyed; it shouldn't have been like this, as it was supposed to be the most powerful kind.

Watching the three leave, Joselyn fell into deep thought.

Her heart's turmoil and bitterness were beyond words, with no one to confide in or understand her.

"Sis!" Suddenly, a sharp scream broke the silence.

Lilah had collapsed.

She collapsed suddenly, without any forewarning.

Miranda and Gerard hurriedly helped her up, while Joselyn rushed out upon seeing it.

"Mom, you." Lillie was anxious and followed her out.
