Soon after, Mia and Patricia arrived home with the children, ready to freshen up and get ready for bed.

As Mia settled onto the plush mattress, she took a quiet moment to observe Sage and Ginger, peacefully asleep beside her. Gazing out the window, she found herself absorbed in the vibrant cityscape outside the constant motion of cars and people. After all these years, returning to such tranquility was beyond anything Mia could have imagined.

With Sage and Ginger snugly tucked in beside her, Mia's heart brimmed with gratitude for the happiness she now embraced.

The next day, Mia prepared to take Sage and Ginger to the hospital to visit Laura, feeling hopeful that today might be the day Laura finally woke up.

Despite Patricia's clear dismissal, the neighbor set the fruits down and hurried away.

Fuming with indignation, Patricia exclaimed, "Who does that?"
