In fifteen years, Zara had never celebrated her birthday properly. There was no need to, actually. Why should she do something that would only remind her that she would be dying?
However, this year was different. There was hope, so the preparations despite starting late, everything was being done on a large scale.
And it was more so after Cade showed that he didn't mind letting the world know that Zara was his daughter.
Weren't they people clamoring to know what happened to his last-born daughter?
This time they were going to invite everyone with a status and introduce Zara once again to the world. If the person herself wasn't embarrassed or showed no signs of discomfort for people to see her in her current status, why should they be filled with worry?
As a result, in the days going towards the birthday banquet, Zara was a bit busy, though it was too much considering that she was still not well.
