Feeling lost , Cheryl hugged Serena even tighter . She pressed her cheek against Serena’s face as if seeking comfort . Just then , her phone rang . She glanced at the caller ID and answered , “ Hello , Lyndon . ”
Lyndon asked , “ Cheryl , are you alright ? ”
Cheryl replied , “ I’ve been fine for a while now . I just fainted from heatstroke and low blood sugar . It’s all my fault for not eating on time . I promise I’ll take better care of myself from now on . ”
Lyndon chuckled on the other end . He said , “ It’s been so hot lately . Just hang in there . A few more days and the weather should cool down . ”
His gentle words felt like a warm breeze , soothing Cheryl’s heart . She said , “ Thank you for checking on me , Lyndon . ”
After hanging up , Cheryl thought back to when she fainted . She remembered someone patting her face . It was a familiar presence , like she’d met the person before , but she never saw the person’s face clearly .
By the time she woke up , she was already in the hospital .
Then a man walked in from outside . He said , “ You’re awake . So you’re a friend of my cousin’s ? ”
Cheryl looked at the refined man in glasses , a little confused . She asked , “ Who are you ? ”
The man replied , “ I’m Lyndon , Benny’s cousin . My cousin , he … ”
Before he could finish , Cheryl grabbed his hand gratefully . She said , “ Did you save me ? Thank you
Lyndon just smiled and gently told her to get some rest , not saying anything more .
Snapping back to the present , Cheryl couldn’t help but sigh . She thought , ‘ If I weren’t a mom elegant guy . ‘
So
much ! ”
right now , I definitely would make a move on such a gentle ,
Teresa and Michael had been having a blast in Jade River City these past few days . If she weren’t pregnant , Teresa would’ve gone up the snow mountain
too .
Michael was full of energy , always running around . But he was a good kid . Whenever Teresa called out , he’d come right back to her .
Teresa took tons of photos , her album filled with pictures of Michael and selfies of them . She posted them on Facebook , but set them so only Miriam
could see .
Somehow , that just made Teresa feel even more alone . The only person Teresa could trust and who would genuinely be happy for her seemed to be Miriam .
Teresa had planned to stay a few more days , since there was nothing urgent waiting for her back home . She had no idea what had happened to Jennifer ,
It was Donald who reached out and told Teresa what had happened to Jennifer .
Knowing the story , Teresa and Michael caught the earliest flight back to Nareigh . As soon as they landed , Teresa called Donald .
Donald said , “ Teresa , sorry , I forgot to tell you that the pregnant woman has woken up . She’s out of danger now , everything’s fine . We gave the some money and settled it privately . ”
Teresa replied , “ Really ? That is good news . ”
Donald added , “ Jennifer’s back at the hospital , but she’s still feeling down . She needs you right now . You’re the only sister she’s got , and she’s always cared about you . ”

Teresa went quiet . After a moment , she just replied with a soft , “Oh . ”
Right after she hung up , Cathy called Teresa .
Cathy didn’t know anything about Jennifer’s trouble at the hospital . She was busy getting ready for Jennifer and Donald’s wedding and wanted Teresa to go shopping with her . She wanted to buy Teresa a new dress while they were at it .
Teresa said , “ It’s okay , Cathy , I have plenty of clothes . You don’t need to buy me anything . ”
Cathy insisted , “ Just let me . Think of it as a gift . I saw a pink dress and I think it would look perfect on you . Why don’t you come over and try it on ? ”
That was when Teresa realized Cathy probably had something she wanted to talk about . But Teresa was busy that day , so she made a plan to meet Cathy another time . After hanging up , Teresa got ready to head back to Rosary Estates with Michael .
Miriam suddenly pulled up in Teresa’s Porsche , cutting Teresa off halfway home .
