Daniel wrapped his arms around her, refusing to let go. "Abby, I've missed you so much!"
Abby missed him too, her eyes reddening with the effort to hold back tears.
The two kids hugged each other tightly, sobbing.
Through his tears, Daniel tried to offer Abby some comfort.
On the sidelines, Wesley seethed.

Twila had undergone another surgery, but the results were far from optimistic.
Hestia remained by her side at the hospital, unwavering in her support.
Brittany never showed her face from start to finish.
The queen had people investigate, but Brittany never slipped up, forcing her to drop the matter.
As the day of discharge approached, Twila became increasingly irritable, causing scenes at the drop of a hat. After several such incidents, even the queen found herself at a loss.
On the day of discharge, Eltham arrived at the hospital with Brittany.
Upon seeing Brittany, Twila exploded. "Dad, why did you bring her here?"

Learning that Daniel had gone back to Imperial City seemed to relax him a bit.

The thought of raising another man's child was still hard for him to swallow.
Brittany's gaze fell. "Eltham, let's find a time to call off the engagement."
Eltham's expression changed dramatically. "Why?"
