After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1107

The next day, Daisy came to visit Jolie. Noticing Jackie in the room, she frowned and asked, “Who are you?”

Jackie replied with a friendly tone, “I’m Miss Quin’s caregiver. And you are?”

Daisy’s expression shifted briefly before she responded, “You can leave now. There’s nothing for you to do here.”

Jackie grew wary and glanced at Jolie for guidance.

Jolie said calmly, “Jackie, I’d like some fruit.”

Jackie immediately understood that Jolie was subtly asking her to step out.

“Alright,” she nodded and left the room.

As soon as the door closed, Daisy turned to Jolie. “Jolie, did you look into that caregiver? What’s her background? Is she reliable?”

Jolie met her mother’s gaze, her tone flat. “Sure. I’ll investigate later.”

Daisy hesitated for a moment as if she suddenly remembered something. “I’m sorry, Jolie. Yesterday I forgot about you. There was an issue at the company, and your father and I were tied up until late. Were you alright? You didn’t go hungry, did you?”

Jolie found it laughable.

Forgot? That was just an excuse.

It was nothing more than her father’s attempt to make her bend to his will by withholding care.

“It’s fine,” Jolie replied evenly. “If you don’t want to arrange a caregiver for me, I can find one myself.”

For a moment, Daisy looked uncomfortable. The Quin family had always prided itself on how much they cherished their daughter, but this was a poor reflection of that claim.

The atmosphere in the room grew tense.

Jolie’s back injury still hurt terribly, and when the doctor came to change her bandages, the pain was almost unbearable. After forcing down a few bites of breakfast earlier, she now felt pale and drained, with no energy to engage in conversation.
