he was paying the price for her recklessness .
if Jonathan’s reputation were to suffer , potentially impacting his company’s growth , Teresa would feel deeply guilty
Just as Teresa was feeling lost and overwhelmed , her phone rang . She glanced at the screen – it was Miriam calling . Miriam explained that Sherry had just returned from her hometown . Since Sherry couldn’t reach Teresa , she had called Miriam instead .
Sherry had flown back alone , Christian hadn’t come with her .
Teresa had just lied to Jonathan , saying Michael’s mom had come to pick him up , and as if fate were playing tricks , Sherry actually showed up
Teresa went to Miriam’s house but left Michael at home , promising she’d be right back . As always , Michael leaned against the window , his little face pressed to the glass as he watched Teresa’s car disappear down the road .
As usual , Michael leaned against the window , his little face pressed to the glass as he watched Teresa’s car disappear down the road .
“ Mommy , I wish I had a little brother or sister , ” Michael mumbled to himself , his small hands resting on the windowpane , his voice soft and filled with longing .
Sherry stayed in her hometown for quite a while . She was doing okay , but her stay had been stretched out because of the mess in Christian’s family .
Christian’s father died of advanced – stage lung cancer around Christmas , and he had to rush back home . It delayed his return to Nareigh . To be on the safe side , Christian took his mom to a tertiary hospital for a full checkup .
Even though his morn didn’t want to spend the money , Christian was firm about it . During the checkup , they found out she had breast cancer . The good news was that they caught it early , and they scheduled her for surgery right away .
All this stuff was really weighing on Christian . He’d always been super disciplined , working as a CEO’s secretary after college .
His plan was to save up enough cash to go back to his hometown and take care of his parents . But life had other ideas- his dad passed away before he could even enjoy a family reunion .
