Maggie finally regained consciousness the next afternoon. She found Gina and Xavier waiting by her

bed. Feeling touched, she wrapped Gina in an embrace. The mother and daughter cried and cried after

the close brush with death yesterday.

Xavier thought he must be feeling emotional because he was getting old. He shed a few tears but

quickly wiped them away. As an uncle figure to Maggie, he resolved to keep a tough exterior.

"Mom, I won't change my mind no matter what you say." Maggie gently wiped away Gina's tears with a

look of determination. "I have decided to testify in court. No one could help me if I don't fight for myself;

not even Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett."

Sobbing, Gina confessed, "Maggie, I... I feel so bad for you."

"Mom, do not stop me from testifying if you feel bad for me. I'm doing this to seek justice on behalf of

the victims of David Schmidt."

Xavier's eyes wavered upon hearing Maggie's declaration. His heart pounding, he found that Maggie

seemed to have grown up overnight. He even saw Alyssa in Maggie's staunch gaze.

"Maggie, it's all my fault. I was being silly." Nodding firmly, Gina hugged her daughter tightly. "I will

respect your decision."

When Xavier was about to sneak out of the room, Maggie suddenly put on a smile and introduced him

to Gina, "Mom, this is Xavier Hall. He's Mr. Beckett's secretary. He was the one who risked his life to

save me yesterday. He's my savior."

Thank you so much, good sir!" Gina shed tears of
