?Chapter 1494:


    But where else could she go?


    Just then, she remembered that her mother had recently been discharged from the hospital. Keira might be struggling to manage on her own. With that realization, Sandra resolved to visit her.


    Though Keira’s legs were unaffected, the loss of her hand made every task daunting. From chores to cooking, everything had be a challenge.


    Before heading over, Sandra stopped at the supermarket, buying fresh fruits, vegetables, and a selection of ready-to-eat meals.


    Upon entering Keira’s ce, Sandra was struck by the disarray. Shattered bowls littered the floor, spilled food stained the table, and torn garbage bags left trash scattered everywhere.


    Keira sat on the sofa, tears streaming down her face.


    “Mom!” Sandra’s heart ached at the sight. Rushing to her side, she noticed food and soup sttered across Keira’s clothes.


    Keira’s sobs grew louder. “Sandra, you’re here atst. With only one hand, I can’t do anything properly…”


    Pointing to the chaos, she murmured, “Am Ipletely useless?”


    Sandra, already weighed down by her own turmoil, felt tears sting her eyes at Keira’s anguish. Guilt surged within her—she felt like a neglectful daughter. She knew Keira struggled with only one hand, yet she had left her alone.


    “No, Mom, it’s my fault for not being there for you. I’m so sorry—I should have taken better care of you.” Sandra’s sorrow overwhelmed her, and all her pent-up emotions spilled out.


    After their shared tears subsided, Sandra sprang into action. She helped Keira bathe and change into fresh clothes.


    Then she tackled the mess, restoring order to the house before preparing dinner.


    At the table, Sandra noticed Keira’s difficulty adjusting to her condition. Her left stump instinctively moved to steady the te, deepening Sandra’s heartache.

    “I’m staying here tonight to look after you,” Sandra dered. Determined, she resolved to remain with Keira until a caregiver could be arranged.


    Keira protested immediately, saying, “No, you can’t stay here. Your home is with the Harper family—how can you abandon it?”


    Sandra shook her head resolutely. “No, Mom. You need someone now. I can’t leave you alone. If I hadn’te home today, you wouldn’t even have had dinner.”


    “No!” Keira’s tone sharpened. “Don’t you understand me? Has Shepard given you any money?”


    After seeing Keira’s pitiful state, Sandra considered revealing the nearly twenty million in her ount. But fear that Keira might demand money for gambling held her back.
