Miriam said with a yawn, “What’s so hard to accept about that? She totally brought it on herself. I’m. really sleepy, Teresa. The anesthesia still hasn’t worn off–I need to get some rest.”

“I don’t know. But it’s done now,” Teresa said, tears streaming down her face.

Miriam patted Teresa on the shoulder and said, “Don’t cry. Honestly, from your mom’s point of view, she’s probably just scared that if you keep getting involved with Jonathan, Irene will make trouble for
