One by one, everyone started to console Page, and they didn't forget to criticize Camille. But Page's intentions went beyond seeking comfort. She enjoyed everyone's sympathy while also accusing Camille.
"I have two daughters. My elder daughter was deceived and taken away by my younger daughter, and I don't know where she's hidden because my younger daughter's ex-husband is a very capable person. I suspect my younger daughter instigated her ex-husband to imprison my elder daughter. Now, I can't even see my elder daughter without considering my younger daughter's mood."
"I don't even know what I did wrong. Why is my daughter treating me this way? Even if I did something wrong, she could have just talked to me directly. Why does she treat me like this? Am I less than a stranger in her eyes?"
The more Page spoke, the more agitated she became. Her exaggerations knew no bounds, and she didn't care if she was exposed. All she could think about was having everyone speak up for her, help her condemn Camille. Only when Camille faced questions and criticism, she would benefit in some way.
Once this idea took root in her mind, she became even more determined to achieve it.
The video was only a little over three minutes long, but in that short time, she had already said so many negative things about Camille. What can one imagine she might have said in Camille's absence?
The doctor said to Camille, "Mrs. Simpson, would you like to come here personally to deal with this, or should I send your people to stop her? Although we are in the hospital, some patients can be quite stubborn, and we don't have the authority to do much, or we might even get reported by the patient."
"I understand what you're saying. Thank you for letting me know. I'll figure it out on my end. You don't need to worry about her. No matter what she says or does, just follow your hospital's rules."
Camille responded briefly, then hung up the phone.
She rubbed her head vigorously, as all the back-and-forth with Page had given her a headache.
Camille let out a silent sigh. She felt quite helpless and powerless. She wasn't sure what she could do to satisfy Page.
With all this turmoil, was she really not worried about erasing the last trace of their mother-daughter relationship?
Camille felt truly helpless. She squinted her eyes in thought and then went to find Sienna.
Sienna was in the next office, having just finished her work. There was no one else in the office except the two of them.
Seeing Camille's troubled expression, Sienna asked, "Why didn't you wait for me to come to work this morning? Did you go somewhere alone to eat something delicious?"
Camille sighed, "I wish it were that simple."
Camille walked over to a nearby chair and sat down.
Sienna asked, "What's going on? Did something happen, or are you worried about last night's incident?"
Camille shook her head without speaking, her lips pressed together. She raised her gaze to meet Sienna's eyes and asked in a gentle tone, "If someone keeps challenging your boundaries repeatedly, how do you make them stop from offending you?"
"Then you have to hit her where it hurts. She needs to feel pain or a threat for her to realize how serious you are."
"But I never wanted her to think I'm formidable. I just hope she doesn't disturb me. We're living our lives without interference, just like before. If there's something significant, I'll do my best to help. But apart from that, we don't need any contact. Isn't that good enough?"
