Kate stared at the woman she was supposed to love as a daughter-in-law. Try as she might, her heart could not. Calysta was just another person in this family. It's not that she doesn't deserve to be around Austin, but look at what she's done to her son. Maybe if she behaved normally like a normal wife, Kate wouldn't have a problem. Maybe her blessings and affection would come over time.
Isn't it normal that dislike begins to melt over time? But what happened was that the dislike became even more entrenched because of the daughter-in-law's unreasonable attitude. Maybe if what Calysta did was only directed at her, Kate would still be able to tolerate it. But what Calysta did was beyond her comprehension.
How could that woman orchestrate such a cunning way to make their family's support collapse?
Meanwhile, Calysta managed to keep her breath from coming in short gasps. She had not yet lowered her displeased gaze to the middle-aged woman nearby. She would not easily

Calysta did not want to leave even after the words that were still ringing in her ears. She was asked to leave this house? Divorce? No-no. This could not happen to her. And to add insult to injury, all the things she had done that were pressuring and straining her were not being ignored by Austin."No," Calysta grabbed her hair with her eyes darting around.

"Austin hasn't come out of his room yet?" asked Kate as she sipped the hot tea Maria had made. Breakfast this morning was very, very different from usual. She was accompanied only by the servants who were always ready and waiting for her orders."Not yet, ma'am."Kate nodded briefly. Her tail flicked over to Poppie who stood just around the corner, looking down as she wrung the hem of her dress. "How is it, Calysta?"If it had to do with Calysta, then it was Poppie's responsibility. She quickly raised her gaze, looking at the owner of the house despite her nervousness. In the back of her mind, if Kate's kindness was no longer there, she might have returned home last night. Accompanied by regret and confusion, where to find a job again because in the current situation, it was difficult to find a replacement job quickly."Thank God, her condition is gradually improving. At seven o'clock I'm preparing to go back to the hospital to bring her things. I've also

Calysta woke up with a weak body and a dizzy feeling that was truly excruciating. But the most devastating thing was that when she opened her eyes, there was no one around her. There was only an IV bag and the room was completely silent except for the sound of the cooling machine and the TV that seemed to have been turned on deliberately."Here I am," she sighed softly. Trying to get up from her uncomfortable slump. "Ugh," she complained as she massaged her temples. "What's wrong with me, anyway?" Her memory began to fill her dizzy head. Starting to remember what happened to her life in the twenty-four hours before she ended up in the hospital bed.Everything began to organize into pieces that Calysta could remember clearly. It made her chest tighten and her head throb even more. "I... I still can't believe that the one who made my mother suffer was...," She looked down while gently tugging at her already messy hair. She didn't care about her appearance anymore. All sh
