As everyone made their way to Roana, she scanned the room nervously until her eyes fell on Kai. Suddenly, her tears began to pour out as he walked over to hug her.
“<i>Oh</i>, <i>my </i><i>goodness</i>!!! <i>You’re </i><i>really </i><i>awake</i><i>!! </i><i>Praise </i><i>the </i><i>heavens</i>!!”
<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>missed </i><i>you </i><i>too </i><i>grandmother</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
I took my phone out to take a picture of this moment. Suddenly, Roana released Kai and
looked in my direction. Walking towards me, she had a stern expression on her face.
“So…<i>is </i><i>this </i><i>my </i><i>new </i><i>granddaughter</i><i>–</i>in<i>–</i><iw</i><i>…</i><i>the </i><i>miracle </i><i>worker</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
Ma walked over and ced her hand on Roana’s shoulder.
<i>“</i><i>Mother</i>, <i>this </i><i>is </i><i>Gracie</i><i>. </i><i>Kai’s </i><i>fiancé</i><i>…</i><i>isn’t </i><i>she </i><i>beautiful</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
Ma’s words made me blush. I bowed slightly to Roana and introduced myself.
<i>“</i><i>It’s </i><i>an </i><i>honor </i><i>to </i><i>finally </i><i>meet </i><i>you </i><i>grandmother</i><i>–</i><i>Roana</i>. I’m <i>Grd </i><i>Teagues</i>.”
<i>“</i><i>Lift </i><i>your </i><i>head</i><i>. </i><i>I </i><i>want </i><i>to </i><i>look </i><i>into </i><i>the </i><i>eyes </i><i>of </i><i>the </i><i>young </i><i>woman </i><i>that </i><i>saved </i><i>my </i><i>grandson</i><i>.</i>”
I nervously lifted my head to find Roana’s eyes staring directly at me. I could feel my heart skip a beat as my nerves began to take over.
<i>“</i><i>I’ve </i><i>heard </i><i>a </i><i>great deal </i><i>about </i><i>you </i><i>Ms. </i><i>Grd </i><i>Teagues</i><i>. </i><i>You </i><i>saved </i><i>my </i><i>grandson</i><i>, </i><i>and </i><i>in </i><i>turn</i><i>….</i><i>saved </i><i>this </i><i>whole </i><i>family</i><i>. </i><i>I can’t </i><i>wait </i><i>to </i><i>hear </i><i>you </i><i>y</i><i>.</i>”
Roana held her hands out and embraced me in a hug. I hugged her tightly and thanked her for epting me into the family. She smiled at me warmly.
“<i>Oh</i><i>, </i><i>my </i><i>dear</i><i>…</i><i>you’ve </i><i>always </i><i>been </i><i>apart </i><i>of </i><i>this </i><i>family</i><i>. </i><i>Even when </i><i>you </i><i>didn’t </i><i>know </i><i>it</i>.”
I smiled brightly as she made her way to the table.
“<i>Well</i><i>, </i><i>looks </i><i>like </i><i>I </i><i>came </i><i>just </i><i>in </i><i>time</i><i>! </i><i>Who </i>made <i>dumplings</i><i>?</i>”

Everyone suddenly turned and pointed to me. Roana’s eyes widen.
<i>“</i><i>And </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>cook</i><i>!! </i><i>Good </i><i>choice </i><i>grandson</i>.”
Roana winked at Kai causing him to blush. He looked over at me with a bright smile on his face and held out his hand. I walked to my fiancé grabbing his hand as we made our way back to our seats to eat.
After eating, Kai went into the bathroom to shower and change his clothes. We all sat in the sitting area chatting.
“Oh <i>my </i><i>gosh </i><i>Gracie</i>, <i>if </i><i>Kai </i><i>doesn’t </i><i>marry </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>I</i>? <i>Those </i><i>dumplings </i><i>were </i><i>just </i><i>divine</i><i>.</i>”
We allughed as Ka rubbed her stomach with satisfaction.
<i>“</i><i>Yes</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>must </i><i>admit</i><i>…</i><i>that </i><i>was </i><i>quite </i><i>delicious</i>. <i>The </i><i>broth </i><i>was </i><i>amazing</i><i>, </i><i>perfect </i><i>for </i><i>recovery</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
I blushed and thanked Theo shyly.
<i>“</i><i>Where’d </i><i>you </i><i>learn </i><i>to </i><i>cook </i><i>like </i><i>that</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i><i>My </i><i>mom </i><i>was actually </i><i>a </i><i>great </i><i>cook</i><i>, </i>so <i>I </i><i>learned </i><i>a lot </i><i>from </i><i>her</i><i>. </i><i>The </i><i>rest </i><i>was </i><i>trial </i><i>and error</i>.<i>” </i>
I smiled proudly thinking about my mom. Roana spoke next!
<i>“</i><i>Your </i><i>mother </i><i>Diana</i><i>, </i><i>she </i><i>was </i><i>a </i><i>lovely </i><i>woman</i>.
<i>Wounds </i>like s
My eyes shot up in surprise, I wasn’t sure how much everyone knew but hearing them not judge or speak ill of her sent emotions to my heart that was overwhelming.
груп
“<i>Thank </i><i>you </i>for <i>that</i><i>. </i><i>She </i><i>was </i><i>amazing</i><i>, </i><i>you </i><i>all </i><i>would </i><i>have </i><i>loved </i><i>her</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Ma gently ced her hand on my shoulder. Empathy in her eyes.
<i>“</i><i>I’m </i><i>sure </i><i>we </i><i>would </i><i>have</i><i>. </i><i>She </i><i>raised </i><i>an </i><i>amazing </i><i>young </i>woman.<b>” </b>
I smiled warmly, just then, Kai came out of the bathroom fresh and dressed in his sweat shorts and T–shirt.
After the doctor came by to check how Kai was doing, he confirmed us Kai would definitely be able to go home tomorrow. Roana was the first to cheer.
