Maggie felt a burning pain on her cheek and struggled to break free from her auntâs grasp.
She clenched her fists, her anger rising.
âAuntie, Yana attacked Sanford in public! She got what she deserved!â
Her aunt scolded back, âWhat kind of punishment should my daughter receive? Tell me! If it werenât for you urging him to have her detained, she wouldnât have Lashed out in public.
Itâs your fault he was hurt!â
Had Sanford been hurt because of her? Maggieâs face drained of color at the thought.
The memory of Sanford standing before her, taking the brunt of the danger, felt like a needle puncturing her heart.
Inhaling deeply, she said, âSanford was injured on my account, but the fault lies with you.
Havenât you acknowledged your own part in this?â
If it was her fault, she would accept the blame.
But this time, she wasnât at fault and she needed to clarify this.
âOur fault? We did nothing wrong! He got hurt because he decided to shield you! Thatâs on him!â
Her aunt shouted back.
Maggie retorted, âAunt, Yana once told me that if a child behaves poorly, the parents are the ones to blame.
Sheâs right.
You should consider this.
Youâve spoiled Yana into becoming a selfish and arrogant person.
Whenever she makes mistakes, you donât correct her but point fingers at others.
Now, this situation is your fault.
Itâs one thing for Yana to hurt me.
Perhaps you can persuade me to compromise for the sake of family.
But she hurt Sanford.
Even if you were to kill me, I would never forgive her.
Please leave right now and stop bothering Sanford!â
Her words echoed through the room with resolute strength.

At the entrance of the ward, Sanford, dressed in a hospital gown, lazily leaned against the door, a smile spreading across his face.
Turns out the timid rabbit could also bare her teeth.
Her final words brought him immense joy.
âMr.
Robles! Mr.
Robles, youâre okay! Please let my daughter go.
â
Spotting Sanford, Blake rushed to him, pleading desperately.
âMr.
Robles, please pardon my daughter.
She didnât mean to hurt you.
It was an accident!â
His wife trailed behind him.
Despite her heart being filled with resentment, she maintained a submissive demeanor.
Maggie was taken aback and quickly moved to support him.
âSanford, Iâm sorry.
Did we disturb you?â
Sanford slipped his arm around her shoulder, his eyes scanning her face.
His smile faded in an instant.
