Ten minutes passed before Troy brought me to the emergency room. The doctor then informed him about my condition. My face was severely bruised, and my private parts required stitches.

Troy appeared deeply distressed.

Siena, Elaina, Javion, and their family members arrived at the hospital.

"Troy, I'm so sorry. It was all a mistake. I had no idea she was your mother," Siena said, looking at Troy with tearful eyes.

Elaina attempted a weak smile and tried to explain, "Well, if Mrs. Berg had mentioned it earlier or called you, this whole situation could have been avoided.

"Troy, please try to stay calm.

"Siena has never met Mrs. Berg before, so she mistook her for someone else. It was because of that photo you shared on Facebook last night that Siena jumped to the wrong conclusion.

"Besides, you also pushed Siena. Let's just move past this and focus on finalizing your engagement."

I shut my eyes, feeling dejected.
