Because Margaret was there, Violet worried that Winona would feel uncomfortable, so she asked her and Stefan to leave first.
As the two stepped out of the ward, they saw Cheryl Goddard storming aggressively down the hall.
She grabbed Daisy by the hair and delivered two vicious slaps to her face.
"You shameless woman! How dare you bring that child to my mother's funeral!"
The Cheryl that Winona had seen before was a proud, intelligent princess.
She had grown up in a loving household, excelled in her studies, and built a successful career.
Having lived a smooth, privileged life for over two decades, she probably never imagined that such trashy family drama would happen to her.
Seeing Daisy get hit, Orion immediately rushed over and yanked Cheryl away.
Noticing the bright red handprints on Daisy's face, the anger rushed to his head, and he slapped Cheryl hard.
Cheryl had never been hit by her father in her life. Her eyes turning red, she glared at him and shouted, "Dad! Didn't you say you loved Mom the most? She was just buried yesterday, and today you're trying to marry this woman! Have you forgotten about Mom that quickly?"
"The affairs of your elders are none of your business!" Orion roared. "When your mother was alive, I devoted everything to taking care of her and never let her suffer a single grievance. As a husband, I have a clear conscience. But now she's gone. Am I supposed to spend the next few decades completely alone? Daisy has been fiercely loyal to me, so what's wrong with making things right for her? Cheryl, if you had any respect, you'd support my decision to remarry and show Daisy some respect!"
Cheryl trembled with rage. "Dad, I only just realized today what a massive hypocrite you are!"
Daisy cried from the sidelines, playing the peacemaker. "Please, Orion, stop yelling at her. She just lost her mother; she must be hurting so much."
Watching her performance, Winona couldn't help but admire her acting skills.
She and Stefan ignored the ongoing chaos and left the hospital.
In the car, Stefan held Winona's hand. "It seems my uncle is hell-bent on marrying Daisy. That woman is incredibly manipulative. I'm worried about your safety. From now on, you should stay in Riverton and avoid the capital. I can only have peace of mind if you stay away from them."
