Maya smiled as she read the last words of the fourth novel that Oliver had given to her. She is a casual reader, but a week of staying in bed has turned her into a bookworm. Maya placed the book beside the lamp and stretched her arms.
Ah, she can finally do that after being hindered by the IV drip for days.
She feels much better and believes she is fully recovered and ready to return to work. One week was enough; she didn't need a month. However, Doctor Oliver knows best, so she is stuck in bed.
Maya feels like she is entering a new chapter in her life. She wholeheartedly believes that she will no longer experience trouble, pain despair. From now on, her life will be filled only with smiles and laughter.
She will never be kicked, whipped, or slapped again. There will be no more bruises or scars, as Dalton has gotten rid of her abusers, Terrence and Fredrick Hathaway, from her life.
