?Chapter 559: After reflecting for a moment, he too sensed something amiss.


    He gave a slight nod and said, I cant exin it, but she doesnt seem like herself.


    Exactly! Lindsays grandparents spoiled her, and yes, shes always been a bit headstrong.


    But this… This feels different.


    Belen hesitated to criticize her daughter further but eventually continued, And did you notice her expression when she saw the blood? At first, I thought she was shocked, but when she aimed to stab you, there was a disturbing fascination in her eyes.


    Wiltons mind raced as Belens words brought rity to the oddities he had dismissed.


    All this time, he had been ensnared by Lindsays calcted deceptions behind the scenes, assuming her obedient side was merely an act.


    Yet, upon reflection, it became clear they had always recognized her facade, and her defiance was never truly concealed.


    Belen gently held his hand, her voice uncertain.


    Do you think we should talk to Harlee? Lindsays drastic change coincided with her fallout with Harlee, making Belen wonder if answers could lie there.


    Without a better idea, Wilton reached for his phone and dialed Harlees number.


    After several unanswered calls, frustration began to set in.


    Harlee wasnt ignoring Wilton.


    From early morning, Harlee had been stationed outside the ICU, unwilling to leave for even a moment.


    The only phone in her hand was Clints, clutched tightly.


    Tonya arrived with breakfast, crouching beside Harlee and gently grasping her cold fingers.


    Smiling, she coaxed softly, You need to eat something.


    g?lnσν????????s holds stories for every mood Since Harleesst injury, Tonya had never seen her so on edge, though Harlee had confidence in her medical expertise and Clints safety.


    Harlee, who was like a sister to Tonya, had finally fully integrated into the Sanderson family.


    This was something Tonya was grateful for.


    It felt good knowing someone as extraordinary as Harlee was now appreciated by others, not just herself.


    Harlee shook her head and replied, Im not hungry.


    Tonya didnt push.


    Instead, she brought the milk to Harlees lips.


    At least drink some milk.


    This time, Harlee epted.


    Running on less than three hours of sleep and drained both physically and emotionally, she knew she needed to regain some strength to stay by Clints side.


    Suddenly, amotion erupted from the intensive care unit, followed by nurses and doctors rushing in.


    Tonya didnt hesitate, pushing a piece of bread into Harlees mouth.


    Now, will you rx and eat in peace? I told you my medical skills are top-notch, and you still didnt believe me? Hmph! Feigning irritation, Tonya crossed her arms.


    Harlee took arge bite, chewing slowly before saying in a low voice, Tonya, Im really scared… The shift in Harlees tone made Tonya pause.


    She set aside the teasing and wrapped Harlee in a gentle hug.


    I know.


    Thats why Im staying here with you.


    Except for the time Harlee went to Rhys ward, Tonya hadnt left her side.


    Im d youre here, Harlee smiled.


    With those words, they exchanged a quiet smile, easing the tension between them.


    They always knew when to let humor soften the moment.
