After reviewing the contract, Joli signed his name. He handed it back to Miranda with both hands and assured her, “I won’t let the lab lose a penny.”

This was the second time she had extended a hand to him.

Joli’s heart was overflowing with gratitude, but he knew actions spoke louder than words. He silently vowed to repay her with a lifetime of loyalty.

Ollie and Wanda hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. They exchanged a glance that conveyed deep appreciation for Miranda’s support and a profound guilt about what their son had to bear.
