Cara was already awake when Blair arrived. She just looked at Luna without saying a word, but the look in her eyes made Luna's heart ache.
"Miss Cara, how are you feeling? Does it hurt a lot? Hold on for a while. Mr. Blair will be here in a minute."
Luna's distressed look made Cara feel very bad.
She thought of Mrs. Shaffer.
She had been thrilled when she first learned of her identity, but Cody Shaffer's words had knocked her into the abyss.
Cody Shaffer's attitude towards her was indescribable. The look of disgust on his face and the way he couldn't wait for her to die had made her question her life for a while.
What was wrong with her being a girl?
Did girls deserve to die?
What era was this? It wasn't like the Shaffer family had a throne to inherit. How was it that she couldn't live because she was a girl? How was it that she couldn't be tolerated by her own parents?
She had thought her mother was the same way, but Mrs. Shaffer's words made her understand a lot.
In fact, Cara had given up struggling and had given up on life. The moment Cody Shaffer told her who she was, she was devastated.
Since he had given her life, if he wanted to take it back, she would just give it back to him.
She didn't care about her life!
What was the point of living for a child who was not recognized and acknowledged by her parents?
It wasn't until Mrs. Shaffer's arrival and Chad Shaffer's words rang in her ears that Cara realized how stupid she had been.
Why would she want to die?
Even if everyone didn't love her, she still had Laurence and Mrs. Green.
She didn't have just her parents in her life.
For over twenty years, they had no part in her life, so who were they to decide whether she lived or died?
Especially when Mrs. Shaffer said that it might be the last time they would see each other, Cara wanted to open her eyes and look at her mother.
Now Luna, who was with Mrs. Shaffer, even more so, made Cara feel mixed emotions and do not know what to say.
Blair arrived just in time to relieve Cara's embarrassment.
"Doctor Hawk."
Cara's voice was hoarse and Luna rushed to get some water.
Blair hurriedly said, "Watch your throat. You should try not to talk now. You're quite weak and you need to recuperate. Nicole will be here soon. If she sees you like this, she'll be upset."
Cara froze slightly and felt like crying.
Was Mrs. Green actually coming?
Cara nodded, feeling exhausted, and then closed her eyes again.
Luna stood aside with the glass of water. She was a little awkward and wondered if she should wake Cara up.
Cara opened her eyes as if telepathically, and then reached out to take the glass of water.
"Thanks."
Luna suddenly burst into tears.
Cara was really different from Joy.
Joy had grown up to be condescending and impolite. Cara and she were sisters, but she was kind at first glance.
Blair gave Cara a physical examination, changed the figures, ordered her to rest more, and then went out.
Morty got busy after Mrs. Shaffer turned in her husband.
Cara opened her eyes after Blair left and looked at Luna and asked in a low voice, "Where did she go? Is she coming back tomorrow?"
At first, Luna was a little unsure who she was asking about, but when she saw the flash of longing in Cara's eyes, she immediately understood.
Luna looked a little sad at the thought of Mrs. Shaffer.
