Chapter 1471

Zaria had brought that up on purpose.

“Is that so? What a remarkable coincidence, indeed,” Nalani replied flatly, her expression indifferent.

“Kylee’s mother is none other than the eldest daughter of the Happer family,” Zaria continued. “You know, the third among Soling’s four prestigious families. You must know her.”

Sure enough, Nalani’s expression took on a drastic change.

She turned sharply to Kylee and asked, “Is that true? You are Carola’s daughter?”

“Yes,” Kylee nodded, smiling. “Do you know my mother, Mrs. Dury?”

Nalani’s face darkened. Then, she let out a cold chuckle. “No, I don’t.”

Kylee’s smile faltered.

Judging by Nalani’s initial reaction, it sure seemed like she did know Carola. But here she was, denying it outright. Then, there was the way her face had darkened at the mere mention of Carola.

This confirmed Kylee’s suspicion that there was something complicated between Carola and the Wright family in Soling.

Kylee pretended to be awkward and chuckled softly. “I see. I thought you might know her.”

Nalani didn’t pay her any more attention. She took a deep breath and told Zaria, “Take your friend and leave, will you? The hospital isn’t exactly an ideal place to hang around.”

She was dismissing them right to their faces, making it absolutely clear that she had no interest in engaging with Kylee any further.

Zaria was a little taken aback, but seeing how resolute Nalani was, she could only nod and comply.

“I understand.” She stood up and turned to Kylee. “Let’s go.”

“Okay,” Kylee nodded and stood as well. “I wish you a fast recovery, Miss Dury,” she said to Barbara with a smile before following Zaria out of the ward.

“I’m sorry, Kylee,” Zaria said as they walked down the hallway. “I didn’t expect my aunt to react that way.”

“It’s fine,” Kylee replied.

Then, after a moment of thought, she continued, “But her reaction made me think that she actually knows my mother. It’s just… Well, it seemed like your aunt doesn’t like my mother at all. I guess by extension, she doesn’t like me, either.”

Zaria nodded in agreement, her expression turning serious. “I got the same impression. But I can’t fathom why. Don’t worry; I’ll try to find an opportunity to ask her about it.”

“Okay,” Kylee replied.

The two women exited the Grand Plains General Hospital and got into their respective cars.

As Kylee drove, her mind kept circling back to a single thought…

Kylee believed Nalani and the others must dislike Carola because she was a homewrecker who had destroyed the Wright family.

That was reasonable enough—who wouldn’t despise a homewrecker?
