Out of the Shadows: Tilda’s Second Life Begins
Putting aside his bias against Tilda, Santiago couldn't shake the uneasy feeling creeping over him as the situation unfolded. Something about it just didn't feel right. "But Dad insisted on inviting Tilda here. Now that she's actually coming, what can we do? "And I also know that Mom really misses Tilda. She hopes Tilda can forgive her. If nothing goes wrong, this might actually be the best way." Tilda visiting Blair was both good and bad in everyone's eyes. In the end, all gazes turned to Dominic. As the eldest, the most trusted and capable among the seven, his decision mattered most to the younger siblings, who were full of worry. Dominic thought for a full five minutes before speaking. "All we can do is take one step at a time. We must consider Mom and Dad's feelings first. If Tilda really provokes Mom, we'll step in." "That's all we can do. Let's just follow Dominic's lead."Dominic turned and walked towards the window. Sunlight fell across his handsome face, but couldn't smooth the worry in his mind. "Master ... Tilda, why would you agree to come see Mom? What exactly do you want?" He glanced once more at Blair, who was lying unconscious in the hospital room, and clenched his fists tightly. If something truly irreversible were to happen, Dominic would rather Tilda not come at all. He would rather she never forgive the Jensons. Kyla was quietly resting in her ward. No one had come to visit ... It's been a whole day! My brothers still haven't shown up at all! Mom's surgery is over, she's out of danger, and has even moved to a regular room! And yet, not a single one of them has come to check on me, who's been left disfigured! Kyla drew a deep breath, trying to calm her anger and think clearly about what to do next. Now, with Daphne gone and Preston emotionally wounded, Kyla had a chance to step in and maintain her connection with him. But her face had been ruined. Even if Preston didn't ask questions at first because of his past feelings for Kyla, over time, he would never be able to accept a woman who had been disfigured. The Bells wouldn't accept it either. She needed to regain the Jensons' attention. She had to use this disfigurement as leverage to win back their care and concern. Otherwise, Kyla would have no choice but to use her final plan. The mere thought of it sparked a malicious glint in her eyes. She really didn't want to use that plan unless there was absolutely no other option. At that moment, the nurse walked in. "Ms. Kyla ... " Kyla quickly asked, "Well? Did you bring the news to my brothers?" The nurse nodded. "Yes, I did. They said they'd come when they have the time—"Not getting the answer she expected, Kyla's anger flared, and she shouted, "Damn it! Why bother coming back when you didn't get the answer I wanted? Get it done now!" "Ms. Kyla, what's wrong?" The nurse gasped in shock. Kyla had always been soft spoken, like cotton candy. She had never acted this hysterically before. She was like a raging, uncontrollable woman now. Kyla realized she had almost revealed her true self. She quickly took a deep breath and forced herself to sob softly, putting on a show. "I'm sorry. I'm really scared and in pain because of my face. My brothers haven't come to visit me. I feel so hopeless and lonely. I don't know what to do ... "I'm sorry to have shouted at you just now. My mind is a mess. I know I shouldn't take out my emotions on others. Please forgive me, okay?" Hearing her explanation, the nurse finally relaxed."Ms. Kyla, you have the best temper out of all the patients I care for. Anyone would lose control in a situation like this. "I understand. I'll find a chance to mention this to Mr. Jenson again. After all, you are still the princess of the Jensons. If it weren't for Mrs. Jenson's injury ... The nurse sighed, "Your family is heartless! You got hurt so badly, and they haven't even come to check on you." The nurse was clearly upset on Kyla's behalf. "Don't say that. I understand ... Mom is most important. I don't expect to compete with Mom for attention. "I just hope my brothers remember that I'm still their sister. That's all I could ask for." "Ms. Kyla, you're so kind and thoughtful. If only I had a daughter like you." The nurse was close to tears. After the nurse went to get Kyla some water, Kyla's expression instantly hardened. "Right. They still won't come visit even after all this ... How damn infuriating!"If they keep staying away, then I'll have no choice but to strike first. I just need to find the right chance ... "
