After what happened, Marianna didn't hurt or maltreat Ephyra anymore. This was largely due to the nanny, Elma, who kept a close eye on her interactions with the little girl. For a while, things seemed to settle down. However, Ephyra's health took a turn.
A few months later, Ephyra fell sick and was admitted to the hospital. She recovered after a short stay, but not long after, she fell ill again and was rushed back to the hospital. The cycle repeated—sick, admitted, treated, and discharged—until one day, Ephyra fell unconscious while both Elma and Eliot were out.
Left to her own devices, Marianna didn't take Ephyra to the hospital. Instead, she called in a nurse who administered treatment without consulting a doctor. Surprisingly, the medication seemed to work almost immediately, and Ephyra recovered quicker than she had during her previous hospital stays.
