Overwhelmed

For the next two days, Lola slowly regained herself and her health. It was as if Brian's visit, even though toxic, was the catalyst that activated her speedy recovery.

She was no longer shedding tears or boxed up in her thoughts like before. She spoke more, laughed more and ate very well.

Even the doctor was highly impressed by her commendable recovery rate. He assured her of a possible discharge if she continued to maintain healthy vital signs.

Lola did her best to forget everything about Brian and all he stood for. The part of her heart that cared for him was filled with hate and regrets. The little light she had for him had been extinguished by his visit and confession. She intentionally avoided any topic connected to him or Chelsea.
