Preslie was quiet.
She wasn't even thinking about Sheldon at the moment, she had been so shocked to see Ruth cough up blood.
Preslie looked very concerned.
She was worried that Ruth's condition would only worsen if she went on like this.
After she returned to the bakery, Preslie called Yesseca.
She told Yesseca that Ruth's health had been deteriorating in the past six days and that she had coughed up blood.
When Yesseca heard this, he became very worried.
She kept asking Preslie if she had taken Ruth to a doctor for a physical examination.
Preslie told Yesseca everything.
Yesseca went silent when she heard everything. "It seems she still has some issues left unresolved."
Preslie then said, "Exactly! This is all Yuliana's fault!"
Yesseca bit her lip and said, "Preslie, I'm buying a plane ticket back."
Preslie was shocked, "You're coming back? So soon?"
"I didn't plan to." Yesseca explained, "But Ruth needs help."
Yesseca returned the next day.
She went to see Ruth.
She chose not to tell Ruth that she had returned early, so as to surprise her.
Ruth was very happy to see Yesseca. After chatting for a while, Ruth brought up the time she went to see her son in Nashaland.
She wasn't mad at anyone.
She wasn't mean to Yuliana either.
But she constantly said that she only got to spend three hours and fifty minutes with her son.
"If only I could spend more time with him." Ruth murmured, "I would hug him tightly and just look at him."
Yesseca noticed that Ruth was constantly repeating herself. She realized that Ruth was very sick.
She needed treatment.
Yesseca had to come up with a solution.
That evening, Yesseca called Sheldon.
She replied, "I'll be in Nashaland this weekend to visit her grave as well. I might run into him there."
Sheldon understood what Yesseca meant to do.
Time passed.
It was the weekend.
Yesseca made her way to Nashaland.
Thanks to Sheldon's arrangements, Yesseca bumped into Tremaine in the cemetery.
Yesseca was prepared for this, but Tremaine was surprised to see her.
After he got over his shock, he felt very conflicted to see her again.
When was the last time he saw Yesseca"
It seemed so long ago.
For some reason, ever since he broke up with Yesseca, every day felt extraordinarily long."
Especially now, with Yesseca standing in front of him.
It felt like it had been over a thousand years since they last saw each other.
