Edna never thought that it would be this emotional when she is to leave Korea. Her eyes start to let the tears flow and after hugging every member of the family, she felt the same way she did when she hugged her own family and left to get married to Keith. She hugs Anna the longest and she would have sworn that she had a sniff and whimper, Anna is emotional that she is leaving. When they stop hugging Edna notices Anna's red eyes and the residue of tears in them and she can't help but tear up herself. "You know, I never thought that I would say this ever in my life, but I want to swap you for those bucket-headed brothers of mine. " Anna confesses with a laugh even though she has tears pouring down her face. That's the comic relief that everyone has been waiting for and they all burst into laughter. " Well, I have a very huge house, you can come to visit. " She tells her. " Maybe. " Anna shrugs. " If I get a break from school, I will come and spend a few days with you. "She pu

The phone won't stop buzzing in his pocket, but Malik won't answer it. Not until he gets to the car. It's his father calling him and it's not that he is too scared to pick up, it's that he doesn't want Edna or any of her family members to hear the conversation he is going to have with his father because he knows that it's going to be intense. He knows the exact reason his father is calling, but he wasn't expecting the call to come now. He thought it would come when he is in his hotel, at night so that he would speak to his father with all confidence. He gets to the car, unlocks it, and jumps into the driver's seat. He takes out the phone from his pocket and slides the answer icon to the side. " You better have a damn good reason for refusing to pick my call all this time, Malik. " His father fumes from the other side of the phone. Even though his father sounds so angry, Malik is not moved an inch. " And I am sure that you have a good reason for calling me because I have been v

Turns out that the process to get Philip transferred to a much better hospital turns out to be a very tedious task. They have to do research, call, and meet with the said doctor who would be heading the treatment. Making Visas for Philip, his mum, and his wife –who will be going with him. If not for Malik's influence, it would have taken a longer time, but even with that, it's so demanding. Mentally, financially and all, Malik shoulders all of the stress by himself and Edna helps him as best as she can. Meetings with both the old and new doctors, booking a private plane to convey them. Preparing the kids and her Dad who would be left behind. After being bent in all of the stress for two whole days, they are finally free. They have concluded the meetings, funds have been transferred, and everything is ready to go. Edna is behind the wheels as she drives back to the house, Malik is sitting beside her and both of them look like shit. They haven't slept even a bit in two days now a

After a very hectic flight through the not-too-fine weather, Edna and Malik find their way to New York just a few hours past midnight. Few vehicles are still moving around the place and a few people are still walking around. Edna and Malik get into his car that has been parked at the airport from the day they left and now they are both driving home. Edna is asleep with her head against the headrest and Malik is slowly driving them. They are both exhausted and very tired and all they need now is rest. Malik first takes her to her house and stops the car in front of the small gate. The engine is still running and Malik gently taps her on her shoulder so that she would know that they have arrived. She opens her eyes and rubs them, she can't believe that she has made her way back home. Even though she has been away from home for a month, she is not very happy to be back. " We are home. " Malik says with a slight sadness in his voice. "Yeah. " She sighs. " Thanks for the ride. "

With a new pride now, Edna leaves her father-in-law's office. She thought that he would speak to her about something else, she didn't do anything wrong, but there is always something that might have been missed. She is also grateful to the doctors who Malik made to take a vow not to say anything to Mister Jackson and she is very glad that they have complied. In her moment of joy, she decides to go to Malik's office and tell him the good news. She didn't get scolded like she thought she would and it was such a big deal for her that wants to share this moment with him. Kim appears from the corner with some files in her and she looks up. Her face brightens when she notices her boss. "Ma'am. " She half walks and half runs to her. Edna is glad to see her secretary and if not for protocols, she would have hugged her right now, but she doesn't. Kim looks more excited to see her and she is smiling so widely. "It's so good to see you, ma'am, I won't lie, I have missed you. " She beams
