Part 8/9:

As Rita’s health improved and she prepared to leave the hospital, she echoed her gratitude to Dr. Mabel, Dr. Angela, and the pastor who had stood with her during her darkest hours. Their kindness and selflessness had catalyzed her journey toward healing, which was both physical and emotional.

Finally discharged, Rita held her mother’s hand, both of them feeling a profound sense of renewal and hope. Though the road ahead remained uncertain, Rita was ready to face it, empowered by her experiences and equipped with the knowledge that she was never truly alone. With a heart full of gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose, Rita walked forward into a future unshackled by the shadows of her past.
