Chapter 318

• Dr. Granger smiled as she watched Ben recall his young friend's love for him. She could see his shoulders relaxing and the pain easing from his brow.
• "Tonight, you stopped your friend from being hurt. The situation reminded you of Linda, and you leaped to protect your friend. Linda would be very proud of you. You've grown into a strong and righteous man who acted selflessly and courageously. These are things she would have dreamed for you. As long as you live to the best of your abilities, as you have been, then you're fulfilling her hopes for you and justifying her belief in you."
• Ben's eyes opened, and she handed him a tissue. He wiped his eyes and face. He smiled gently at the doctor.
