Chapter 26 - A NEW BEGINNING IN THE SUBURBS

Summer arrived in full splendor, painting the grand estate lawns in lush, vibrant shades of green.
The family hosted a celebratory outdoor barbecue, inviting close friends, neighbors, and local community members.
Mark grilled burgers and steaks on the patio, wearing his light blue shirt with the top button undone.
Sarah mingled with the guests, looking radiant and healthy as she laughed freely under the warm sun.
Lily and her brothers ran through the garden sprinkler system, their joyous shouts echoing across the property.

Mark looked around at the life they had rebuilt together, feeling a deep, unshakeable sense of gratitude.
