Cassia looked at the three of them, their faces stiff and pale. Then, her gaze shifted to Victoria.
“You care so much about Bric,” Cassia said calmly. “I don’t think you’d just stand by and watch her go to prison, right? Why don’t you take the blame for her instead? You can sit in prison for a few decades.”
Take the blame for Brie? And for decades?
Victoria loved Brie, but no matter how much she loved her, she could never dr
“Son,” Victoria whispered to Vance, “let her go for now. Danica will still be cryi here and keep arguing. We won’t get any money out of her.”
we keep her
Things had become so tense, Vance felt his mother made sense.
First, calm Danica down. They could talk things through later at home.
He didn’t believe for a second that he couldn’t handle someone as young as Cassia.
“Stop bothering me.”
After saying that, Cassia walked out of the hospital with long strides.
Danica’s loud crying never stopped.
The sound made Vance’s head feel like it was about to explode.
“Hasn’t Geneva calmed Danica down yet?” he asked.
Geneva tried everything she could, but nothing worked. She was exhausted.
In the end, the hospital staff stepped in. Several nurses held Danica down while a sedative was given. Only then did Danica finally quiet down.
“Where’s Cassia?” Geneva asked, her body heavy with exhaustion.
The other three looked at one another. No one spoke.
At last, Vance pressed his lips together and said, “She came, but she didn’t go in to see Danica.”
Geneva let out a soft sigh.

“Honey, if you hadn’t said such cruel things to her yesterday, Cassia wouldn’t do this today.”
Vance couldn’t argue with this.
After Cassia left, Geneva and the others brought Danica home.
As soon as they arrived, Vance locked Danica into the small bedroom.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Geneva said worriedly, “Cassia said Danica should be taken outside more. She said we shouldn’t lock her in a room all the time.”

“You believe that girl?” Vance scoffed as he counted the 10,000 dollars Peter ha “She’s not a psychiatrist. Just because she says something doesn’t make it true. 1 just paid this month’s support money. That means that little boy’s autism hasn’t recovered yet. If Cassia really knew how to cure people, she would’ve cured Sterling a long time ago.”
“But is Danica really okay by herself?” Geneva kept staring at the door, her worry was growing. “What if she does something foolish again?”
The scene at the hospital that afternoon had left Geneva deeply shaken.
“It’s fine,” Vance said. “There are so many people at home watching her. Do you really think she’d dare to kill herself?”
Geneva still looked uneasy. Vance put the money away and patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry. Danica is my daughter. I’m more worried about her than you are. I won’t hurt her. I’ve already hired a professional psychiatrist for her. The doctor said Danica must not be exposed to outside stimulation. It’s best to cut off all outside contact. That’s mainly to prevent suicide, and it also helps her depression recover on its own.
After saying that, Vance continued, “The doctor told me depression isn’t really a serious mental illness. It can get better on its own. Danica still has her SAT in three months. For now, we’ll let her take a break from school and stay at home. Once she thinks it through, she’ll slowly
recover.”
“I hope so…” Since a professional psychologist had said that, Geneva didn’t argue.
Over the next few days, Geneva kept a close eye on Danica’s condition. She noticed tha Danica was either lying in bed asleep or sitting by the window, staring outside.
She didn’t read. She didn’t use her phone.
The old Danica had been lively, energetic, and cheerful but now she was quiet and withdrawn, rarely smiling.

Just like Cassia had said, Danica’s condition was pretty serious.
