Nana Monty was seldom at home throughout the years, providing too little care for her mom and dad.
Only now did she realize how much she owed them.
If she hadn't returned today, she would have never forgiven herself.
Wiping the tear stains from her face, Nana Monty lifted her head, refusing to let more tears fall.
Turning her head, she then noticed her mother standing beside her, also with tears streaming down her face.
And Jayden Maguire stood by the bedside, watching her intently.
Nana Monty stayed in the hospital with her dad all day, but by evening, she had to leave.
Jayden Maguire took her to the nearest hotel and got a deluxe suite.
The small-town hotel was modest but clean and tidy.
After a bustling day, Nana Monty was tired. After taking a shower, she lay on the bed, drowsy.
Jayden Maguire lay down next to Nana Monty, his burning body pressing against hers.
