Daisy's stance was unyielding, leaving Jolie no room to argue. She took her straight back to the Quin family home and even confiscated her phone. Meanwhile, just half an hour after they left, Selena arrived at the hospital. Noticing the empty room, she froze for a moment before grabbing a nearby nurse. "Excuse me, where is the patient from this room?" Selena asked.

The nurse replied, "She's been discharged."

"Discharged?" Selena was stunned. "So soon?"

It wasn't surprising that Jolie was ready to be discharged, but Selena couldn't believe she'd leave without saying a word. She pressed on, "Did she leave on her own?"

The nurse shook her head. "No, her mother came to take her."

Selena nodded slowly, her expression darkening. So that was it.

Anger flickered in Selena's chest. Jolie had been severely injured, and Daisy hadn't bothered to visit her in an entire month. Yet, the moment it was time for her to leave, Daisy suddenly showed up.

For the longest time, Selena had assumed Jolie was the favored one, the daughter cherished and protected by her parents. She thought Daisy would be heartbroken over Jolie's injuries. But now, she realized she had been completely wrong. No wonder Jolie always seemed unhappy.

Standing in the hallway, Selena frowned deeply, lost in thought. Was there more to this family dynamic than she understood?
