When Jamie reflected on how long it had been since she had any time to herself, she felt a pang of realization.

Glancing at Ben beside her, she suddenly understood why he had orchestrated this brief escape.

They stayed an extra day in Bay City before flying back. Ben, though silent about his concerns, clearly couldn't shake his sense of responsibility for the company. Jamie, on the other hand, was preoccupied with thoughts of Linda and Charlie. The moment Charlie saw her, he lit up. "Mommy, you're home!"

He leapt into her arms, causing Jamie to stumble a little as she tried to catch him.

"Charlie, be careful," she said with a laugh. "Mommy can't keep up with you anymore."

Charlie, realizing his mistake, stepped back sheepishly. "I'm sorry, Mommy."

"It's okay, sweetheart. As long as you're healthy and happy, that's all Mommy needs," Jamie reassured him.

After settling back in, Jamie noticed a surprising improvement in Linda's condition. Filled with hope, she took Linda for a thorough checkup.

The doctor delivered promising news. "The damaged areas of the brain are beginning to self-repair. With proper medication and care, there's a chance for significant recovery."
