Renata lay quietly, an oxygen mask covering her face, barely showing any signs of breathing.

Only the occasional blips and beeps of the nearby machinery revealed that she was still alive.

However, her body was thin and frail, only bones remaining, as if she might dissolve at any moment.

Daniela stared at her blankly.

Renata had always been a beautiful woman. In her memory, she loved to dress up, and her mere presence would draw attention from other girls.

Now, her almost flawless face was dull and lifeless, and her face, which had lost all its fat, looked somewhat terrifying.

Thankfully, she hadn't looked in a mirror during the few times she woke up. Otherwise, with her love for beauty, she might have smashed the mirror on the spot.

Her once jet-black hair had become sparse and lacked its former luster.

Daniela stroked it, feeling that the hair she touched had no life, just like Renata in front of her.

Perhaps, for Renata, dying this way would be easier.

She wouldn't have to face the loss of her parents, the disappearance of her brother, or Diego's betrayal.

She would still be the same girl who smiled sweetly.

For a moment, Daniela almost wanted to pull off Renata's oxygen mask.

But just as her hand was about to touch it, she stopped.

No, that's wrong!

What was wrong with Renata? Why did she have to endure so much pain?

Daniela could take her to make amends, find her grandparents, find her brother.

As for Diego, let him and his children go to hell!

She withdrew her hand.

"Listen, Renata, only the living have hope. When you're dead, you truly can't see anything anymore."

Lucas and Emilia, who were watching from outside, almost had their hearts jump out of their throats because of her actions.

Half an hour later, Daniela slowly walked out of the intensive care unit.

Her body couldn't help but sway.

Lucas quickly reached out to support Daniela: "Are you okay?"

Daniela was about to answer when she heard a mocking voice: "Wow, there are so many people here, you're hugging each other, aren't you ashamed?"

Daniela looked up and saw Martina and Diego walking towards them.

Her face immediately sank.

Martina stopped in front of Daniela, raised her eyebrows and said, "Look at you two, so affectionate. Daniela, the孽种 in your belly, wouldn't it be his?"

!!!

How did Martina know she was pregnant?

Daniela looked at Martina coldly: "None of your business! What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

Diego said in a deep voice: "Daniela, how do you talk to your elders!"

"I heard Renata had an accident, so we came to see. How's your mother?"

Daniela felt that these two were so fake. They had obviously wished Renata dead, yet now they came here pretending to be concerned!

"Crying over spilled milk." Daniela said coldly: "You two, don't think I don't know what you're up to."

"Get out!"

She felt disgusted by these two now.

Martina looked somewhat gleeful: "Oh, she really died, didn't she?"

Daniela glared fiercely at Martina.

Martina pretended to be startled, patted her chest, and said in a mournful tone: "To be honest, you shouldn't be too sad. She's a mental patient, and you're still paying for such a good ward. She's a burden for you. It's good that she died."

"You can focus your mind on the child in your belly."

"Although, he's just an illegitimate child that can't be acknowledged."
