In the car, Saskia Holt told Monica about Claire and Dr. Watson being a loving couple. Though they hadn't been together for long, their relationship was very stable. They had experienced sups and downs, but it only served to strengthen their bond.
Monica listened quietly, feeling quite embarrassed. Was this the biggest misunderstanding of her life? With her kind heart, she was filled with guilt towards Claire. Tristan had been right; she owed Claire an apology.
Meanwhile, Daphne, who had failed to achieve her goal, stood by the riverbank, bathed in sunlight. She held onto the railing, feeling the chilly early winter breeze. Her hair was a mess from the wind, but it couldn't blow away the melancholy in her heart.
She looked coldly at the clear blue sky. The sun in winter wasn't warm enough, always wrapped in a touch of coldness, much like a human heart. Seeing Claire and Rowan laughing together earlier had deeply hurt her sleepless self. In a bad mood, she had almost attacked Claire! In her diagonally slung bag was a shiny fruit knife, newly purchased and not meant for cutting fruit. Who was the girl who had forcibly taken Claire away? She didn't seem friendly towards Claire either. Did they have sconflict? Daphne suddenly remembered a famous saying: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend!" She desperately wanted to find and befriend that girl. But did that girl also like Rowan? The thought made Daphne panic.
As she considered the possibility that someone else liked Rowan, jealousy stirred within her, making her feel terrible. Just then, her phone rang. It was her mother. "Hello, Mom," she answered, trying to compose herself.
"Daphne, I've been coughing up blood lately, and a doctor nearby said that bleeding should be taken seriously. It could be a sign of a serious illness." "How do you feel? Are you experiencing any other discomfort?" Daphne worried, her whole body tensing up.
"I'm fine, really!" her mother hurriedly reassured her. "Don't worry too much. | just want to have a check-up, since our family's situation is getting better. Your brother and you have grown up, and your father and | want to take care of our health so we can help with the grandchildren." "I've always encouraged you both to get check-ups, but you were reluctant," Daphne said, relieved. "Now you finally understand, right? It's better to prevent problems and have peace of mind, since our bodies are our own." "That's true, you make a good point," Mrs. Well agreed. "But your father said we shouldn't do it in our small county. Our daughter is a doctor, and Rowan's hospital has advanced facilities. So, we're coming to the city to find you, get a check-up, and bring slocal specialties to thank Rowan for taking care of you." Daphne's face changed, and she grew nervous. "Mom, a basic check-up can be done at the county hospital, and it's a two-hour drive to Arkpool City. It's not even worth the trip."
