Katie began to cough harshly due to Luciana’s aggressive grip, her wounds almost opened up again. “Release me…” She gasped.
Luciana kept her grip firm, yelling, “You wretch! If you lay a finger on my granddaughter, I’ll kill you!”

Katie continued to cough.
“I’ll kill you! You monster!” Luciana was agitated.
At that moment, a nurse rushed in and pulled Luciana back. She scolded Luciana, “How can you treat a patient Like this?”
After sipping some water, it took Katie a bit of time to recover.
The nurse asked with concern, “Would you like me to summon the police for you?”
Katie waved her hand tiredly, saying, “No, that won’t be necessary. Thank you. You may leave.”
The nurse left, puzzled by Katie’s decision.
Once they were left alone, Katie cleared her throat and spoke with a hint of defiance. “Luciana, how about we make a deal?”
Luciana’s gaze darkened with rage. “Are you aware of the gravity of your actions? You’re not just breaking the law. You’re adding to your list of crimes!”
Katie covered her mouth and giggled. “Luciana, how can you say that? I just heard something from my friend. Please don’t accuse me like that. I’m really scared! But…”
She paused, pretending to wipe away tears, before continuing, “You wanted to hurt me. I was pregnant. The nurse saw you attacked me…”
Luciana froze. It turned out that Katie had deliberately staged the whole thing to have witnesses. This woman was ruthlessly vicious, like a sly fox!
Anger flooded Luciana, her eyes blazing. She demanded, “Where have you hidden my granddaughter? Return her to me immediately, or I will never forgive you, even at my last breath!”
Katie took a sip of water, soothing her throat, and then replied slowly, “Luciana, why do you lose your patience so quickly as you age? I’ve told you not to forget your medication, but here you are accusing me of wishing you harm. Just look at yourself now.”
Luciana was far from Katie’s calm demeanor. Janey’s missing tormented her, and she could empathize with Raegan’s anguish.
Since Mitchel’s disappearance, Luciana had seen the true colors of those around her. Except for Raegan, everyone seemed driven by greed.
In her distress, Luciana realized she had unwittingly driven Raegan away, which posed obstacles to Mitchel’s reunion with Raegan after having an unhappy life for five whole years.
Although Raegan’s incident five years ago wasn’t her fault, Luciana couldn’t help but blame herself. If only she had sincerely welcomed Raegan, Raegan and Mitchel might not have endured so much suffering.
They could have lived merrily now…
It was always after losing something that people realized its true value.
Luciana only hoped that Janey would return to Raegan safely. She was ready to pay any price to ensure that. Even with her life on the line, she was determined to do so.
Once she had composed herself, Luciana asked, “Tell me, what do you want?”
