Chapter 192
Skylar froze as she realized she had a tendency to be taken advantage of. Given Miranda’s request, she
didn’t know what to do about it.
After crying for about half an hour, Miranda largely spoke rationally and didn’t seem like she was sick at
all.
Bathing under the afternoon sunlight, Skylar sat shoulder to shoulder with her on a bench in the hospital
garden.
Miranda held onto Skylar’s hand. “Skylar when do you plan to get me out of here?”
Skylar had counted a total of six times Miranda requested to be discharged.
She replied, “That will depend on the doctor.”
“It’s so expensive to stay here. How can you even afford it? I heard my room costs a hundred thousand a
month. I don’t want to put so much pressure on you. Just let me out of here.”
Skylar didn’t tell Miranda that someone else was paying for it as now wasn’t the time.
She promised Miranda that if the doctor agreed, she would arrange for her to be discharged. After all,
she hoped that Miranda would be able to restart her life.
However, Miranda was currently on medical parole. Once she was cured, she would have to return to
prison to finish serving her sentence.
Am I going to send her back to prison?
As she escorted Miranda back to her ward, Tobias continued to watch nearby. He was worried that
Miranda wasn’t mentally stable and would potentially harm Skylar.
Although the doctor’s report stated that Miranda had recovered her mental capacities, Tobias was still
worried about eventualities.
Skylar finally left the ward at night. Time passed quickly as both mother and daughter had a lot to catch
up on.
Before Skylar left, she promised Miranda that she would ask the doctor.
Waiting on a bench, Tobias passed Skylar a bottle of warm honey grapefruit.
“Are you happy that you could finally reunite with your mother?” he asked.
Skylar had mixed emotions about it and couldn’t clearly explain what she was feeling. It all still felt
surreal to her.
“Can my mom be discharged? She asked me sixteen times today about it. Before I left, she still
reminded me that she was waiting for my answer.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Technically, the decision is entirely up to you.” Tobias had already checked with the doctor. He said
Miranda was ready to be discharged anytime.
“The hospital is a lot more comfortable than prison and I don’t really want to send her back. She
assumes that medical parole means that she’s free,” Skylar explained her considerations.
Miranda still had eight years left on her sentence. Even if Skylar managed to get her out, Irene would
definitely kick up a big fuss given her character.
A murderer should pay for her crimes. This was something Skylar had never sympathized with Miranda
before.
“I can help you deal with it. We can give her a place to stay and arrange for parole,” Tobias explained his
plan slowly.
Skylar didn’t agree to it immediately as she needed to think through it.
When they were leaving the hospital, they saw a hearse and a few men in white uniforms carrying a
large coffin.
Tobias quickly covered her eyes tightly with his hands and led her away.
Dragging Skylar away, Tobias knew that she might be frightened at night or scared of the dark after
seeing something like that.
The next morning, Skylar was to take a flight back to where she was filming. The moment she reached
home, she started packing. This time there were a lot more clothes for her to bring.
Tobias’ assistant had bought them based on his taste. He felt that Skylar’s current outfits were too
childish.
Both of them didn’t look compatible when they were out on the streets. He was worried that he looked
like an uncle taking his niece out instead.
