Discharge From The Hospital

“Cassandra, can you handle the discharge procedures for me?” Queenie asked, her weak voice steady with intent.

After raising Cassandra for so many years, even if she wasn’t her biological child, Queenie had developed genuine affection for her. Now, she wanted to see if Cassandra was truly heartless.

Cassandra’s expression shifted instantly, a flicker of surprise before she quickly masked it with enthusiasm. “All right, I’ll take care of it right away.”

As she turned to leave, she shot a smug glance at Caliste.

“Ms. Newton, I assure you, I care about Mom’s health far more than you do. Once she’s home with me, I’m confident her recovery will be much faster.”

Caliste’s face darkened slightly as she watched Cassandra leave, her head held high with self-satisfaction.
