Chapter 205:
Pausing by her car, Daniela faced him with a stern expression.
“The financials are your responsibility. They never showedconsideration, so why should | bear the cost? You'll
manage, I'm certain. Besides, this hospital belongs to a friend of mine. I've already discussed it with them.
You have five days to arrange the payment.” With those final words, she slid into her car and drove away.
The clock struck 1 a.m., and a gentle rain began to patter against the pavement.
Outside the hospital, Caiden stood rooted to the spot, overwhelmed by a sudden surge of regret. His hands flew
to his face as tears escaped, mourning the years lost and the estrangement that had grown between them.
How had it cto this?
How had he allowed the little girl who once called him “Daddy” to becso estranged?
Inside the hospital room, Peyton's eyes burned with anger as he confronted Caiden.

thanks to you!”
Ronald reclined on the bed, his face swollen and contorted in agony.
Wyatt, observing the grim scene, turned to Caiden and spoke with evident frustration.
“Did you witness the events? Daniela, your own flesh and blood, cbecause she didn’t want to deal with your
shit.

Yet, one word from you, and she was here. She respects us as family. But Joyce? That ungrateful brat isn’t even
ours and couldn't give a damn about us. And Katrina? What's there to say? She swung a goddamn knife at us!
Who the hell does that? We never imagined she’d actually go through with it, but she did. Look at Ronald and me
—sure, we're just your brothers. But think about our mother. Even if she were a stranger, an elderly woman on
the street, one simply does not strike someone of her age. That's just common decency!”
He exhaled heavily and continued, “We always thought your ex-wife was too assertive, too formidable. Had she
been here, this chaos wouldn't have unfolded like this. And the family finances? Are they even under your control
anymore? As the CEO of a publicly traded company, why are we scraping together funds for hospital bills? Do
you really think Daniela isn’t crushed by all of this? Let's face it—your comfortable life today is built on the
foundation of your late wife's diligence. Instead of safeguarding Daniela’s future, you're being swayed by
another woman's machinations. If | were Daniela, | wouldn't recognize you as my father either.”
Peyton then fixed Caiden with a cold, piercing stare.
“What are your plans to address this? We'll refrain from involving the police for your sake, but we cannot ignore
this. If you're planning to let this shit slide, don’t you dare call‘Mom’ ever again!”
Peyton had never addressed Caiden in such a harsh tone, and her biting words struck him like a punch to the
gut.
Silently, Caiden exited the room and made his way to the hallway, where he succumbed to his emotions,
weeping uncontrollably.
The following day was marked by Ronald's surgery. Anxious, Caiden attempted to reach out to Daniela, only to

By the tDaniela got back to him, the operation had concluded.
With his voice quivering from relief, Caiden expressed his gratitude.
“Daniela, | can’t thank you enough! The surgeon you recommended was exceptional. It all went perfectly! No
need to worry about a thing!”
