Helen felt regret and anger in her heart. 'Why? Why did I let myself be blinded and invest my whole being into such a family? If... If I had treated Melody a bit better, maybe I wouldn't have fallen sick and left uncared for.' Ethan and Wendy avoided Helen like the plague, afraid of catching even a trace of her illness.
"Me?" Melody breathed a sigh of relief, buoyed by the presence of Lucas waiting outside, which lifted her spirits. "I'm doing fine now, although you might not want to hear that. But ever since leaving the Sanders', every day of my life has been better than before." Helen could discern Melody's state. If she had to pay for her mistakes in the first half of her life, she hoped her only daughter would have a smooth second half. She wished Melody would never return to the Sanders' again.

Melody sighed. She found the whole thing ironic.
"I'm going to ask you a few questions. If the answer is yes, blink your eyes twice. If it's no, blink once," said Melody.
Helen opened her eyes and looked at her daughter.
"Have they arranged for someone to take care of you?" she asked.
Helen blinked twice.

Originally, Melody thought she would feel a sense of satisfaction seeing this. Helen had devoted her entire life to that man and his daughter, but when she needed help, no one was there to take care of her. "Alright... Stop crying. It's not good for you. I have other things to take care of, so I can't stay here for long. As for the rest, I'll arrange for you to be transferred to another hospital and find someone to take care of you. The environment here is too poor." Helen also understood deep down that Ethan and Wendy did not care about her at all. Otherwise, why would they have sent her to such a run-down hospital? The whole atmosphere in the hospital was one of deadness, so how could she possibly be cured? She clearly heard the doctor say that she still had a chance to recover, as long as she was transferred to a good hospital and received daily massage and physiotherapy. However, Ethan just waved his hand and left the hospital. He did not even spare her a glance.
After learning how heartless her husband could be, Helen basically felt like she was waiting to die in this waving to hospital. She had no hope for her future. However, the moment she saw her own daughter, a glimmer of hope surged in her heart because she knew better than anyone that Melody was someone with a soft heart.
People used to think she was tough, but only those who got to know her realized that her heart was softer than jelly Unfortunately, she realized this fact too late and guilt riddled her heart when she cface to face with Melody once more.
She felt ashamed for wanting Melody to arrange for her future care. After om all, she never once showed her any motherly love in all the years they had lived together. Yet, in the end, only she was there to take care of her. "I... I..." X
