    Even the maid prayed for her recovery.


    Meanwhile, Olivia hadn’t set foot in the hospital. She stayed holed up in Sandalwood Pce, hardly


    eating and refusing to leave her room. Despite the maids‘ efforts to coax her out with food, she ignored


    them all.


    Then, on Saturday morning, she received a text from ude: [Good things wille when the time is


    right. They always do.]


    She stared at the word ‘good‘ without replying-


    Just then, Darren called. She blinked and answered, “Dad.”
