Chapter 16 I spent three days in the hospital , and Ruby came to be with me every single day . Timothy never came again , and neither did Laura . According to Laura , Yasmin kept her busy making royal jelly desserts every day and found endless ways to make things difficult for her . And so , she was left with no time to visit me at the hospital . On this day , the doctor informed me that I could be discharged , but emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced diet that included meat and vegetables . I could no longer have strictly vegetarian meals anymore . I solemnly promised to follow his advice . On my way home , I stopped at the supermarket to buy an electric cooker and fresh ingredients , both meat and vegetables . Fortunately , the rooms at the Grant residence were spacious . Even the guest room had enough space for a pot to cook my own meals . When I got home , dinner had already been prepared . As I passed by the dining room , I glanced at the table , seeing that there were both vegetarian and non - vegetarian dishes . Timothy was sticking to his vegetarian diet , while Daphne and Yasmin could eat whatever they wanted . I remembered how the fridge used to be strictly meat - free . Now , Yasmin and Daphne could eat meat right under Timothy's nose . He was perfectly fine with it . So , it turned out his strict adherence to his religious rules was only because he hadn't met someone worth breaking them for . I didn't dwell on the painful , ironic scene before me and turned to head to my room . Just then , Yasmin noticed me . " Ms. York , you're back from the hospital . Are you feeling better ? I was thinking of taking Daphne to see you . " I stopped and looked at her icily . " I'm still alive , no thanks to you . If you're hoping to take my place as Mrs. Grant , you're going to have to wait a bit longer . " Her expression shifted slightly before she put on a pitiful look . " I wanted to apologize for Daphne accidentally knocking over the urn that day . Please forgive her , and forgive me for not raising her better . " " Is that how you apologize , Ms. Beech ? It's just lip service without an ounce of sincerity . " My words left her caught between a rock and a hard place . If she didn't respond , it would mean that she wasn't sincere in apologizing . And so , she had no choice but to ask , " What exactly would you consider sincere , Ms. York ? " I sneered . " You scattered my daughter's ashes . How is that any different from grave - robbing ? Even tomb raiders pay their respects before a grave to avoid divine retribution . " Yasmin quickly shifted the focus to Daphne . " Ms. York , Daphne is just a child . Isn't it too much to ask her to pay her respects to you ? Even Tim has never raised his voice against her since she was born . " I looked her in the eye . " You're her mother . Since you failed to discipline her , shouldn't you take her place ? " Hearing that , Daphne ran to Yasmin's side and glared at me . " You're just a maid! A servant ! Mommy is the lady of the house , so you should be the one curtsying to pay your respects to her ! " Yasmin hugged her , looking pleased . I was surprised to hear a three - year - old say something like that . What exactly did Yasmin fill her head with ? 1/2 Chapter 16 +25 BONUS Daphne shouted , " I told you to pay your respects to my mommy ! Didn't you hear me ? " I shifted my gaze to Timothy , who was eating elegantly and looking like he was unfazed by these worldly matters . I asked , " What do you think ? "
