Chapter 209


    Skr made her way to Miranda’s ward in the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Department and saw her knitting


    a sweater.


    Miranda put the needle and thread down when she saw Skr and motioned at her to sit down beside


    her.


    Skr was a little excited at first as she thought Miranda had made her a sweater, but a closer inspection


    revealed that it was for men. The sweater was halfway done and onlycked a sleeve to make it


    complete.


    “Do you think it’ll fit your dad?” Miranda smiled gleefully while showing off her work.


    “Why are you making Dad a sweater? He never paid you a single visit during your time in prison!” Had


    the doctors not confirmed Miranda’s full recovery, Skr would’ve thought she was still crazy.


    “He must’ve had his reasons. I know he still loves us, Skr. I mean, how else would you still be alive


    today if he didn’t? You should learn to be grateful, you know?” Miranda gazed at the sweater and


    imagined how Thomas would look wearing it.


    It took Skr every ounce of her strength to refrain from going on a rant about how Meredith was the one


    who paid for her school fees and daily expenses, all with that meager sry of hers.


    However, she knew there was no point in telling Miranda that as all she could think of was how amazing


    Thomas was.


    Even when Thomas cheated on her back then, Miranda simply med everything on the fact that Irene


    was able to give birth to a son.


    Given how old-fashioned and patriarchal Skr’s grandparents were, it came as no surprise that they


    wanted a son to help carry on the family lineage. Naturally, Irene fulfilled that wish of theirs and reced


    Miranda’s position in the family by giving birth to Hayden before the divorce even took ce.


    To make matters worse, Miranda had to have her uterus surgically removed due to excessive bleeding


    when giving birth to Skr, so having children was no longer possible for her.


    That was why she hated Skr so much back then.


    “You had mee all the way here just to see this sweater?” Skr asked in annoyance.


    Miranda was oblivious to the change in her tone and held her hand as she spoke, “The doctors say I can


    be discharged soon, so why haven’t you made ns to take me home yet? By the way, I’ll need to have


    a family member apany me throughout the final checkup, so you have to stay here with me for the


    next two days.”


    Staying with her is fine. I’m just worried that she’ll go looking for Dad once she gets discharged, but I


    can’t just keep her in the hospital forever… Speaking of which, I hear Dad’s had it pretty roughtely. His


    company has been liquidating its assets ever since Tobias refused to help him out. Skr sighed deeply


    at the thought of that.


    In the end, she promised to apany Miranda for her checkup and agreed to bring her home if the


    doctors dered her fit for discharge, much to her delight.


    She sure doesn’t look like a prisoner who’s been cooped up for too long… If anything, she strikes me as


    a migrant who’s returning to her home country! Looks like prison’s been treating her well…


    At noon, Miranda told her that she was hungry and that she hadn’t taken her lunch.


    Skr nced at her watch and said, “I’ll have the nurse bring you some food right away.”


    “No! Despite this being a VIP ward, the food they serve here is terrible! Get me some BBQ ribs from the


    cafeteria instead!” Miranda said disdainfully.


    “Were you so picky during your time in prison as well?” Skr asked.


    Miranda didn’t like that one bit. “How could you say that? Are you looking down on me just because I


    went to prison for manughter? What happened back then was an ident!”

    She didn’t have the courage to tell Skr the secret that she kept locked up deep down inside. You did


    this to me, Thomas! I’ll have you repay what you owe me with the rest of your life!
