Chapter 19

• Helen stepped into her family's home, a sense of contentment washing over her. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind of activity as she and her fiancé prepared for their upcoming wedding. She had been so busy with planning and preparations.
• "Hello, Mother," Helen said, giving her mother a warm embrace and a peck on each cheek. She turned and waved to her sister, Cecilia, who was sitting on the couch with a book in her hand.
• "How are you, Helen?" Mrs. Lugard asked, smiling warmly at her daughter.
