After pursing her lips, she said, “Miss Garcia, please pardon me for not coming before now to express my gratitude to you for saving my life. I didn’t have the strength to get out of bed previously. I’m here to thank you and also invite you for lunch.”

Laney readily accepted the invitation. The three of them went to a restaurant near the hospital and had lunch.
