Book title: The Life ListChapter 26-END

  

   After Sanquita’s death, her baby daughter Austin should now be given to Brett. However, one day when Brett walked into hospital, a noisy woman caught her attention. The woman was Sanquita’s mother, Austin’s grandma. Her name was Tia Robinson, with so many bad record she had, she was thought not a suitable mother by Brett. However, due to Tia’s relationship with Austin, she is more likely to be the one who can take care of Austin.

   Brett decided to go to the court in order to get the custody of Austin. She had to sue Tia, and the trial would be at tomorrow. Brett has Brad as her attorney. However, in the court, Tia’s lawyer Mr. Croft, helped her professionally. He asked a lot about the reason why Sanquita leave her mother. He convinced the judge that Tia did all the things for Sanquita’s life (though Brett knew it wasn’t the truth). When the trial was about to end, Brett was depressed. She didn’t think she had any chance to get Austin. Surprisingly, Brad made a miracle happen. He brought Jean, the only person who knew the truth, to the court. Jean brought a piece of paper written by Sanquita about her will to give her child to Brett. Happily, Brett get the children successfully.

   The most difficult thing in this very end of the book was love. Brett met this wonderful gentleman named Herbert, who is so nice to her. He accepted Austin, and accepted all about Brett. However, Brett just couldn’t fall in love with him. Brett wasn’t sure if she could find someone better than Herbert. All of the story come to an end on Brett’s mother’s birthday. She met Dr. Garret Taylor, the man who was Peter’s doctor and was thought to be Brett’s Prince Charming, again. This time, Brett finally realize that her Burberry man was no one else but this man. Excited, Brett asked him to join their family dinner, but was refused due to Garret’s meeting. What’s worse, this man seemed to have a woman with him. Frustrated, Brett decided to go home.

   During their dinner for honoring their mother, a doctor visited them. Confused, Brett went to the door and found that it was Garret. In the later paragraphs, they found that they had fallen in love long before they even met each other. Happily, they can become a wonderful family.

  It was in my expectation that Brett will end up falling in love with Garett, though I was sad when they lost contact. It is really nice to see how an aimless woman turned into a happy and successful woman.
