Chapter: 2695

Sonia, standing nearby, gazed at Johanna with heartfelt appreciation. "Thank you, Auntie, for caring for my mother all these years. If you or Janet ever need anything, just call, and I'll be there."

Witnessing the tender moment between mother and daughter, Johanna cried and said, "We are family, Sonia. There's no need for thanks. Isn't it the purpose of family to stand by one another through thick and thin?"

Mona's face lit up with a smile, her words a joyful refrain. "Indeed, we are family."

Checking the time, Johanna turned to Sonia and said, "Your mother just woke up. She shouldn't overexert herself. Stay with her; we'll go for now and come back later."

Sonia nodded earnestly. "Don't worry, Aunt Johanna. She's in good hands."
