Dylan got up and offered his chair to Cecilia. Meanwhile, after a night of concern for Olivia, Cecilia appeared visibly worried... She was filled with remorse and guilt. If they hadn't gone back to Duefron, perhaps Olivia wouldn't have endured so much hardship.

She leaned over and softly touched Olivia's face, whispering, "I haven't had the heart to tell her father about the accident. I'm afraid the shock might be too much for him! Olivia has always been Mark's precious gem. He even built a pink tent for her right beside his desk when she was little, so she could play in his study while he worked. He'd be devastated to learn of her accident."

Then she looked up and earnestly thanked Dylan.

“Thank you for saving my daughter, Dylan!"

Dylan's voice was rough as he responded, "I'd do anything for Olivia! So you don't need to thank me."
