After a while, she felt someone gently tapping her arm.
Opening her eyes, she saw Neville’s parents standing over her.
Miley was taken aback. Standing up quickly, she fixed her hair and clothes and greeted them, “Mr. and Mrs. Pierce, it’s good to see you.”
She glanced at the surgery room door, noting the light was still on.
“Bertha’s still in there. I don’t have any news about her yet…”
Hurley cut her off, his expression hard, and he demanded in a cold tone, “Why would you do something like this to my mother? She’s over fifty, she can’t handle this kind of stress. How could you be so cruel to an old woman?”
Miley was taken aback, not expecting Hurley to blame her for Bertha’s situation. After all she did to help Bertha, his accusation was the last thing she expected.
Anger bubbled up inside her.
Miley looked them straight in the eye, her voice rising. “Have you lost your minds? Wyatt Blakely is the one who took us! I had nothing to do with it! You should be talking to the police!”
The more she dwelled on it, the more her anger grew. Without letting them get a word in, she pressed on, “I put my life on the line to save Bertha. You don’t feel like thanking me? That’s your choice. But accusing me of hurting her? That’s outrageous! You’re the ones who are heartless!”
Hurley’s face turned stormy, and his lips quivered, but he found himself at a loss for words.

Paying no mind to his reaction, Miley turned her attention to Amya.
In a mocking tone, she said, “Had it not been for me, Wyatt’s men would have kidnapped you too. Why didn’t you set the record straight?
How can you let him badmouth me like this? How did Neville end up with parents like you?”
Amya’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she stayed quiet for what seemed like an eternity.
Noticing their speechlessness, Miley’s temper cooled slightly.
She glanced at Amya and taunted further, “Before she fainted, Bertha told me she wanted me to be Neville’s girlfriend.”
“What? What did you say?” Amya reacted with panic. “Why on earth would I take your word for it? Over my dead body will you ever be part of the Pierce family!”

Miley was clearly annoyed. She spun around, her voice heavy with sarcasm as she said, “I couldn’t care less about you. I’ve done what I needed to, and you’re still up to your neck in problems. I have no interest in being part of your uppity Pierce family, so I’m leaving.
Goodbye.”
With those words, she walked away.
“You despicable bitch!” Amya was fuming. “Stop! Miley! I said stop.
But no matter how much Amya called out, Miley didn’t pause. She left the hospital without Looking back.
At Prosper Bay, after taking her medicine with Matthew’s help, Stella was about to head upstairs to bed when the doorbell echoed through the quiet.
