Hearing this, Karla realized her niece was even busier than she was. She was already deeply involved in medical research projects at such a young age.
"I won't hold you up, then. Don't worry about the Darwins. I've already pulled some strings; they aren't getting in."
They certainly wouldn't get in easily, unless they tried something completely unhinged.
But for rural folks navigating a massive city hospital, finding one specific person was like finding a needle in a haystack.
They were probably still running around the lobby like headless chickens.
Claire wasn't worried. She trusted Karla to handle it.
She was just dropping by to deliver the news.
"Sienna is awake. Do you want to see her?"
Karla remembered Dr. Duncan praising Claire's incredible medical skills, seamlessly blending Eastern and Western techniques.
"I know you're not a fan girl, but could you take a look at her spine and see if there's any chance of a full recovery?"
"I haven't talked to Mary yet. After all, Sienna just woke up and hasn't even had her comprehensive checkups."
"If I go in now, I'll just disturb her rest. I think it's better to wait until the doctors run their tests before I evaluate her." Claire didn't see the need to rush.
Karla was just asking anyway. If Claire didn't want to go, that was perfectly fine.
After Claire left, Karla returned to the room and told Sienna that her parents had arrived at the hospital.
Sienna glanced at her phone. "I know. They called. I didn't answer."
"Hunter even sent me voice messages."
They were sent from Hunter's account, but it was mostly their mother talking.
At first, she played the loving, heartbroken mother, crying about how they knew they were wrong, how they never wanted her to die, but just couldn't bear to see her suffer.
But when Sienna didn't respond, Beatrice unleashed a long string of vitriolic voice notes, screaming curses at her.
Hearing the viciousness in those later messages actually made Sienna chuckle bitterly.
She knew her parents didn't have an ounce of genuine goodwill in them.
