Giselle figured the Kanes didn't want her there anyway, and with her condition acting up unpredictably, it was better not to embarrass herself in front of them. Still, as the Kane family's daughter-in-law, she felt she had to show some courtesy.
"How about this? I'll go to the mall later and pick out a gift for Dorothea. You can bring it to her tonight," she said.
"Go ahead," Donovan told her. "Take Joanne with you. Get some fresh air, do a little shopping, and buy yourself some clothes, shoes, or a new bag. Just grab whatever you like for now. Once I finish this busy stretch, I'll take you abroad to shop properly."
She nodded. "Okay."
Donovan reminded her, "Remember to take your medication. Call me right away if anything happens."
After breakfast, Donovan left for the office. Giselle headed upstairs, planning to tidy up a bit before going to the mall to find a birthday gift for Dorothea.
Just after she finished her makeup and changed her clothes, Joanne appeared at the door. "Mrs. Kane, Mrs. Kane Senior is here. She's waiting for you downstairs."
Giselle froze in surprise, unable to guess why she would show up at a time like this. She could only brace herself and head downstairs.
When she reached the first floor, she found Dorothea sitting calmly on the couch, sipping tea as if she had all the time in the world.
Giselle drew a deep breath and stepped forward awkwardly. "Dorothea, you're here? Happy birthday. I hope everything goes well for you."
Dorothea smiled. "Thank you. That's thoughtful of you. How have you been these days?"
Giselle replied, "Pretty good. Things have been stable. I haven't had any episodes."
