From Sneers to Cheers Anthea's Ascent novel Chapter 109

"Coming!" Anthea called out, setting her computer to autopilot before she made her way to the living room.

On the couch sat a couple, a man and a woman. It was Tammie and Paulina.

Upon seeing Anthea emerge, both of them excitedly stood up. "Ms. Yeager!"

A month had passed and Tammie had fully recovered.

But the sickness had taken its toll, leaving him a bit gaunt.

The two people he was most grateful for were Anthea and Paulina.

Without Anthea's prescription and Paulina's relentless care, he would never have made it.

So, as soon as he got better, he didn't even inform his parents. The first thing he did was come over to thank Anthea.

Knowing Anthea was tied up during the day, they decided to swing by in the evening.

Anthea greeted them with a warm smile.

Just then, Tammie and Paulina suddenly bent down before Anthea to express their gratitude.

This unexpected act stunned both Anthea and Carole, who was nearby.

"What are you doing? Please, get up!"

Neither of the two would budge.

With tears in his eyes, Tammie said, "Ms. Yeager, you've given me a second chance at life. We owe you this gesture of gratitude!"

During his illness, Tammie never thought he'd recover. He had even prepared his last will.

Only those who had been on death's door could understand the euphoria of a second chance at life.

Moreover, Anthea, despite her young age, exuded an elegance that belied her years.

She had a grace that washed away any pretense of youth.

Though Tammie was much older than Anthea, standing before her, he felt like a junior, with no sense of incongruity.
