When Tina woke up the next day, she stammered and screamed at the nurse.
The nurse didn't know what she was saying, but she guessed that she wanted to see the person closest to her now.
So the nurse called Marina up.
Marina's heart skipped a beat when she heard what the nurse said.
She immediately asked Luk to go with her, thinking about the last time when she asked Jason to go up and apologize to Tina, but in the end, her daughter's wound was torn and she almost passed away.
But Luk had to come, as it might be the last time he could see his daughter.
So Luk came with Marina, who was in the wheelchair, to Tina's ward.
Seeing Marina, the nurse went out.
She thought they would have a private talk.
Tina was lying on the bed, thin as a log. She was staring at the ceiling, her eyes dull and wide open.
At first, Marina asked Luk to wait outside the ward. She would decide whether to let Luk come in judging from Tina's reaction. After all, Luk had hurt her daughter too much.
After Marina went in, she said softly, "Tina, I come to see you."
Tina's eyes flickered and she tried to speak.
But her throat was burning.
She wanted to see Marina early in the morning because she knew that her life might end today.
But she had to tell Marina what she knew about Jane.
Also, she wanted Marina to know that she was Jason's biological daughter.
Tina wanted to ask Jason if he regretted killing her daughter.
She had been scolded for being a bastard since she was a child. The children in neighborhood said she didn't have a father or she was the child of the other woman.
Since she was a child, she had not fully felt father's love, because at that time, Jason had only sneaked over to see her, not daring to let outsiders know his identity.
Tina wanted to tell them that she had a father, though her father was not at home now.
But Marina had taught her not to talk about this outside, or she and Marina would be arrested by the police.
After all, Marina was tearing another family apart, so she could not reveal her identity.
Tina was young and afraid at that time, so she didn't dare to say anything.
But when Tina and Marina were received by Jason to the White Residence, she could say that she had a father.
Only then did Tina feel uplifted.
She even bossed Jessica around and bullied her.
Because Jessica didn't have a mother, and she had parents.
Tina was jealous that Jessica was prettier than her, and that she had been loved by so many people and had so many nice clothes since she was a child.
She wanted to own Jessica's room and clothes.
She thought herself to be a little princess in this family.
This was how Tina grew up.
Over the past few days, she had recalled every bit of her childhood.
She recalled this because she heard Jane talk about her childhood.
So Tina knew for sure that Jane was also Jessica.
However, although she had won Jessica before, Tina now lost everything.
Tina thought she had taken everything from Jessica. When she was a child, she had taken her home, her father, and her clothes.
Later, when she grew up, she took away her fiancé, her husband, Oliver, and her son, Roy.
But in the end, she lost.
