With just a few words, Kayla managed to regain control of the situation. She came up with a reasonable explanation for herself and portrayed herself as the victim. That way, she could make people forget what she had done, leaving only sympathy and pity for her.
Once Kayla finished speaking, Myra's expression softened considerably.
So, that was what happened. Well, that made some sense.
Myra repeatedly reminded herself that she had brought up Kayla with so much effort, dedicating all her energy and love. She was kind, innocent, naive, and adorable. She was definitely not the cold-hearted, ungrateful person Myra had just imagined her to be.
Gradually, Myra seemed to convince herself.
She paused for a moment before briefly recounting the events of the previous night. However, she skipped over the part about being saved by the girl in black and only mentioned that she was rescued by the police.
Kayla was eager to move past the topic. Although she felt that Myra and Dexter were incredibly lucky, she didn't dare to ask more questions.
Myra continued, "Your dad is injured and in the hospital. He needs someone to care for him. I'll pack some clothes and head over. What about you, Kayla?"
"I'll go too! Mom, I can take care of you and Dad. Don't worry!" Kayla responded.
"Good girl." Myra smiled with relief.
When the mother and daughter arrived at the hospital, Dexter was still unconscious.
To show her care and filial devotion, Kayla prepared a basin of warm water and gently wiped Dexter's face. After that, she used a cotton swab to dab water on Dexter's cracked lips. Even though those were small gestures, her careful attention proved she had put her heart into it.
Witnessing the scene, Myra felt deeply reassured.
