Chapter 48 OLD PHOTOGRAPHS

Two weeks passed swiftly and yet Mom was still in the hospital. She's still unstable so the Doctor couldn't discharge her yet. I spent the days with her, giving her the time and attention she needed. As Grey had advised, I took an indefinite leave, allowing me to return to work in La Paraiso Hotel once Mom's condition improves.

During the past two weeks, Grey regularly visited Mom at the hospital. Sometimes he stayed in the evening and if he couldn't, he would slip in the morning and bring Mom a bouquet of fresh lilies or a bouquet of roses. He would also give Mom her favorite food and stay for an hour or two to chat with her. After that, he would leave.
