Chapter 124

• The woman walked after him, a smug smile on her face. William's mother felt her heartbreak, and she turned away, not wanting to see the two of them together.
• As she walked away, she wondered if she had done something wrong. Had she been too strict? Had she pushed him away? Or was it simply a matter of time until he grew up and wanted to be his own person? For the next three days that Bridget spent in the hospital, William never came to visit her. Not once and Bridget was so disappointed but still hoping that he would come but he didn't. Bridget lay in her hospital bed, her thoughts consumed with worry and sadness.
• Where was William? Why hadn't he come to see her? She missed him terribly, and she couldn't help but feel like she had lost him. Each day that passed, her hope began to dwindle. She tried to be strong, but it was hard to stay positive when everything felt so bleak. And then, on the fourth day, something unexpected happened. Only Alan, Jace, Jake, Liam, Cynthia, and Daniela came to visit her and her mother-in-law law and father-in-law.
