She attended a regular school.

However, she recently had a dispute with a classmate, resulting in a fall down the stairs and a leg injury.

Peter was in search of a reliable doctor.

After ending the call, Mark proceeded to make several more phone calls, evidently assisting in the quest for a doctor.

Cecilia listened to Mark's conversations in silence.

She had anticipated a heightened emotional reaction upon hearing about Laura's situation again, but, in reality, her inner turmoil remained quite subdued. It could have been the result of the changing circumstances or the fact that Cecilia had weathered even more harrowing experiences that had steeled her resolve.

Mark remained on the phone for roughly ten minutes before returning to the bedroom.

Olivia was peacefully asleep in her mother's embrace.

Meanwhile, Cecilia maintained a steady gaze on Mark.

He appeared somewhat anxious, and after a moment, he motioned toward his phone, explaining, "Peter needs my assistance with an issue."

"Is it related to that girl?" Cecilia inquired straightforwardly.

Mark met her eyes and eventually nodded.

Wary of her potential anger, he approached and gently caressed her head.

Cecilia sat up.

She suggested, "My mom knows an excellent orthopedist. I'll ask her to send me that doctor's number."

Mark's body tensed involuntarily.

He found it hard to believe.

Cecilia lowered her head and tenderly stroked the child in her arms.

Speaking softly, she confided, "Mark, I may not be fond of that child, but most of our disagreements stem from you. I don't have to single out a child specifically. Moreover, Laura is under Peter's care now. Peter and his wife aren't young anymore. I don't want to see them burdened with too much worry."

Mark remained silent, gently touching Olivia's face.
