At Imperial Hotel.
Mother Guan and Diana had just walked out of the elevator when they saw someone standing at the end of the hallway and wiping away their tears. It was Madam Manoban.
"Sis! Are you okay?" When Mother Guan saw her, she quickly went over, full of concern.
Diana did not dare to go to near. Instead, she stood behind Mother Guan and her pale face was covered with guilt. "Aunty, how's Leo?"
She quickly wiped away her tears and returned to normal. She looked at the two of them and replied, "Leo is awake. Thankfully, he wasn't really hurt, just still slightly shocked."
At this moment, she was an entirely different person from the unkempt shrew that she had been last night. She had returned to being the noble and elegant lady of the wealthy family that she was.
Mother Guan and Diana exchanged a glance, slightly shocked. Indeed...
"As long as he's fine, then that's good..." Mother Guan looked allayed as she patted her chest, then she tugged at Diana to apologize once again, "Sis, we really let you down this time. It's right for you and your husband to blame her. Diana has been feeling horrible about it too. In fact, she's been feeling so bad that she hasn't had any appetite. She hasn't even drank a drop of water!"
As she looked at Diana's pale and frail demeanor, she sighed, "I should be the one saying sorry. I was too impulsive last night. Diana, does it stilll hurt?"
When she saw that she had changed her attitude, Diana's eyes secretly lit up. "Aunty! I'm fine! As long as you'll forgive me, I'll do anything! I can even help to take care of Leo!"
She tactfully rejected her, "I'm very thankful that you offered, but there's no need. There are already people taking care of Leo."
When they heard her evading reply, Mother Guan and Diana already confirmed what her brother had found out.
Mother Guan gently comforted her a while more. When she saw that she had softened, she tried to probe, "Sis, as they say, those who survive a great disaster are destined for good fortune after that. Now that the company is alright, and Leo is saved, extreme sorrows will definitely turn into joy later on! But with so many things having happened, there'll still be some bad luck. You need to have some happy occasions to rinse it away. What say you?"
When she heard this, she paused, immediately understanding Mother Guan's intentions.
Initially, she wanted to find a suitable opportunity to talk about this later on, but since she had brought it up, she did not want to drag it on either.
Thus, after she contemplated momentarily, she turned to Mother Guan and said, "Sis, the reason I don't blame Diana is that she's still unrelated to us in any way. I don't have the right to ask her to do anything for our Leo. At that time, in that sort of situation, if Diana had done anything, she would have most likely been implicated too, so I don't blame her."
When they heard her pretty much drawing a line between their relationship, Mother Guan's face instantly soured and Diana frowned.
She continued, "While that girl Jennie... One could say... that this time... our Leo's life was saved by her! She exchanged his life for her own!"
As she said this, tears could not help but well up in her eyes. She slowly started to continue, "We must conduct ourselves with a conscience. Based on the fact that she's done so much to this extent, if I still continue to misunderstand her and stop her from getting together with Lisa, wouldn't that be too frightening?!"
Aware of the change in expressions of Mother Guan and Diana, she summed up,"So, no matter how the girl is going to be, and whether she'll wake up again, I'm setting my mind on this daughter-in-law!"
