Xiomara’s condition improved significantly.

Most of her tubes were removed, and she could now get out of bed and move around a bit.

The doctors mentioned she’d need some time to recuperate even after leaving the hospital.

Lindsey agreed without hesitation.

Xiomara was gradually regaining her spirits, and Lindsey arranged for a caregiver to care for her.

Sumner returned to work.

Once his intensive training period ended, Lindsey planned to have him participate in a major talent show.

The employee involved in the medicine switch had been arrested.

Shelia’s incident stirred up quite the buzz online, but the public adopted a wait-and-see approach pending a formal verdict.

As time passed, the chatter about the incident faded.

Everything seemed to be back to normal.

Kendra didn’t make trouble again.

Meanwhile, Lindsey’s company continued to prosper.

On a particular day, Lindsey set aside less urgent matters to visit the largest church in the city.

With Domenic’s birthday approaching, she purchased a high-quality rosewood bracelet with her own money.

For a month, she went to church with the bracelet, holding it as she prayed.

Her prayers were for Domenic.

Her plan was to present him this unexpected birthday gift, hoping for his safety and happiness.

Lindsey kept this a secret from Domenic, aiming to surprise him on his special day.

Lately, Domenic had been swamped with work.

Lindsey and he didn’t have many chances to meet, but when they did, their longing was undeniable, leading to passionate ki*ses every time they reunited.

Things appeared to be improving gradually.

Lately, Lindsey’s mother didn’t seem to be as resistant to Domenic as she had been previously.

Lindsey intended to convince her mother to allow her to return to Domenic’s apartment at his birthday.

One evening, after a refreshing shower, Lindsey, with her damp hair, walked into the living room.

Juanita was there, engrossed in a magazine on the sofa.

Lindsey approached and gently massaged her mother’s temples.

In the days Lindsey spent at Juanita’s place, she rediscovered the warmth of family.

They chose not to bring up the unpleasant events of the past.

Lindsey contemplated, realizing there were still many days ahead.

She intended to mend the hurtful words she had uttered to her mother in the past, gradually rebuilding their relationship.

Even if she were to marry Domenic in the future, she would continue to visit her mother regularly.

She allowed herself to dream about what was to come.

“Linds, is there something on your mind?” Juanita’s gentle voice snapped Lindsey out of her daydreams.

Lindsey cleared her throat, speaking softly, “Mom, Domenic’s birthday is coming up.

Can I go back to celebrate with him?”

Juanita’s movements briefly halted, and she turned to face Lindsey and smiled as she asked, “What if I were to say no?”

“Mom, I’m not a kid anymore.

I don’t have to do everything you say!”
