Chapter 183: The One-Month Mark
Leslie was blissfully oblivious to the inner chaos raging within Calix as he perfected—almost—his facade whenever he was in front of her.
As always, they spent their time together whenever he was not preoccupied with his job. He acted as normal, often chatting and teasing her.
True to her words, Leslie diligently followed her rehab treatment sessions. She was always left physically exhausted and mentally drained by the end of each session but, she kept her heart strong.
The quicker she got better, the sooner she could meet her beloved daughter.
Even though Calix occasionally shared news and photos about Calliope, Leslie wished to head to the orphanage and hug her child tight. She missed the feeling of embracing her little one in her arms.
’I am blessed. The tragedy took our lives but, here we are, still breathing and enjoying our new lives.’
More good things happened to Leslie after she fully possessed Charlene’s body. Aside from maintaining a close relationship with Calix and building one with Irene, she also learned Calliope’s whereabouts.
Everything was a blessing. She could handle the inconvenience in the form of lacking physical strength and poor motor coordination. Thankfully, she wouldn’t be confined to the wheelchair forever.
’Soon... I will meet Poppy soon. I wanna hug her so badly.’
Leslie chanted the same words in her mind as she continuously practiced to regain her strength and coordination.
Fortunately, Ms. Chen and Ms. Yao were incredibly helpful and supportive when Leslie was beaten by the following fatigue. They often shared success stories of their previous patients, intending to motivate her.
