From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 75

For over thirty years, Adah had been a part of the Christensen family, fostering a bond with Karen that was as deep as any that exists between a mother and daughter.

Hearing such words, Adah telt a pang of distress, her eyes uncontrollably brimming with tears. “Karen, you will get better, I know it. You have to!”

Gripping Adah’s hand tightly, Karen pleaded, “So, Adah, let me try it, okay? What if it works?”

Seeing Karen in such a state, Adah couldn’t bear to refuse her again and nodded. “Okay, you can try it for a few days, but let’s make it clear now. It anything seems off, we’ll stop the treatment immediately.”

Finally giving in, Karen’s face lit up with the joy of a three–year–old. “Don’t worry, Adah. Ann’s got an amazing touch! She’s going to cure me!”

“Who’s Ann?” Adah blinked in confusion.

Karen explained, “Ann’s my future granddaughter–in–law!”

“That young lady is Ann?” Adah asked for clarification.
