Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 193

I woke up again before dawn. After taking a shower, I saw a reminder from Brandon to pick up the breakfast he had left at my door.

He didn't question why I hadn't eaten his breakfast and continued to get it for me.

I appreciated his thoughtfulness and ate breakfast before heading to the office.

No one else was there yet since I arrived early. Even after I planned my day and reviewed everyone's recent performance progress, it still wasn't time to start work.

I took out my phone and scrolled through social media. While it could be time-wasting, I had just a few friends on my feed. It was one way to check up on their lives and know how they were doing even without a call or text.

Derick posted about going to a billiards challenge. Lisa documented delivering another baby and recorded it whenever she did so. The baby for the day was at number 5566.

She had delivered 5566 babies. If she hadn't made a record, she wouldn't have known that she had helped bring so many lives into the world.

I liked her post and left a thumbs-up sticker. As I continued scrolling, I saw Chris' new post.
