Angeline looked at the various fitness equipment stationed on the ground and felt like weeping.
Jay was no longer as imposing and softly coaxed her, saying, "Don't be afraid. Let's start with the simplest exercise.”
Angeline pitifully pleaded with him, "I don't have the energy."
Jay picked her up and stood on one of the airwalk trainers. He held onto her small hands with his. "I'll protect you so you won't fall. It's only your first day today. You'll only need to do it for a few minutes."
Was his requirement that low?
Only then did Angeline feel more relieved and slowly began to move.
Angeline got off the fitness equipment about 40 minutes later.
Jay was delighted as he patted her head. "You did an amazing job."
Angeline was in between laughter and tears. Was this considered remarkable to him?
That day, Angeline’s consciousness was clear and she had active thinking. Jay felt utterly happy. Angeline
began to be more confused again around evening time, and she suffered a brief auditory hallucination.
"Chloe Yorks, even though you’re my mother-in-law, I'm warning you, please show some respect to me... If i t weren't because of Jaybie, I would’ve smacked you b y now!"
Jay placed his arms around her to protect her. He watched as Angeline jostled in the living room, indignantly scolding his mother. He was still deciding whether he wanted to laugh or cry.
"I'm not a piece of trash. You're a piece of trash. Just look at yourself; how many years have you been in a wheelchair? Do you even have the ability to stand up t o me? The only thing you're good at is filing a complaint to your son after getting beaten up by me. Come and have a go at me if you truly have the guts!"
Grandma Boye had already arrived at the door some time ago, and seeing Angeline keeping herself busy, Boye was reluctant to bother them.
