Hearing her words, Skyler's spirits lifted considerably. Angel, as he fondly called her, was the kindest soul in his world. Aurelia was a guardian angel sent from heaven to watch over him.
"If he's happy, | could rest in peace, knowing Skyler's alright,” Tanya murmured, gazing fondly at Skyler before stepping out of the room.
Aurelia comforted Skyler for a bit longer, and when she saw him start to play with William and Sierra, she knew he was feeling better. With a light heart, she went outside to rinse some strawberries for them.
Tanya approached, pulling out a business card.

"Got it," Aurelia replied, slipping the card into her pocket, "Tanya, | apologize for earlier. | hope you won't hold it against me." "It's fine. | know you only want what's best for Skyler," Tanya reassured her with a wave of her hand, showing understanding.
"I can tell Skyler listens to you. | hope you can encourage him to take his medication on time. It's the only way to keep his condition under control and avoid relapses." Tanya handed Aurelia a bottle of pills.
Aurelia took the bottle, feigning agreement, "I'll do my best. Skyler's previous outbursts might have been due to loneliness. Now that he has company, he's so much happier. I'm sure he'll make a full recovery.” "One can only hope," Tanya said softly.
The RV rolled into Gleaming Gardens.
While Tanya and the others were using the restroom, Aurelia discreetly handed the medication to Leopold and briefed him on the day's events.
"Seeing how serious Tanya is, all worried and stuff, it almost seems genuine. I'm starting to believe Skyler might actually have a split personality. But the way she talks in front of us, so bluntly, without considering Skyler's feelings, makes me a bit skeptical.
Should we get a professional to assess him?" Leopold wondered aloud.
"Let's not jump the gun. With the bodyguard keeping an eye on him all the time, we'll be the first to know if anything's off. For now, we should..." Leopold whispered into Aurelia's ear, and she nodded in agreement.
Megan emerged from the restroom and saw Aurelia and Leopold talking. She hurried over, curiosity piqued. "Darling, what are you two plotting?" Leopold ignored her as if she were invisible and walked away.

This one was on Aurelia.
"What were you discussing with Leopold?" "That's none of your business," Aurelia dismissed her and went to greet William and Skyler as they came out of the restroom.
Fuming, Megan looked for an easier target, and compared to Lana, Aurelia seemed like low-hanging fruit.
She followed Aurelia, "You and Leopold are divorced. He's my husband now, and | expect you to keep your distance. Don't think you can seduce him behind my back." Aurelia scoffed, "Forced love is never sweet. I've never stooped to dirty tricks for a leg up. Even if they work for a while, they'll fail eventually.” Megan's lips quivered in anger, visibly stung.
"It takes two to tango. If Leopold didn't love me, he wouldn't have divorced you and married me." Aurelia snorted, "Too bad he doesn't love you anymore. His heart belongs to Lana now." As she spoke, they saw Lana running towards Leopold in the distance.
Megan saw red at the sight, "That shameless bitch.”
