The Road to Recovery

Much to Diana's relief, she was glad to have followed Allegra and Olivia's advice in regards to withdrawing her money from the bank account she had shared with Jesse. He wouldn't be able to freeze it to control her, plus, the vast majority of the money inside the joint account was hers. All two hundred fifty million of it was an inheritance from her late grandparents, and he convinced her a long time ago to have a joint account.

She sighed in relief, whilst looking at her mobile banking app and the money she had transferred to her personal account, everything was there. Untouched. Down to the last penny.

She sat on the kitchen counter stool and watched the rain fall down outside. Dr Skovgaard had been kind to her throughout her stay in their family home, his daughters, no longer even want her to leave, seeing that their father was a good influence on their best friend. They visited along with their family during weekends, and somehow saw improvement in Diana's spirits. However, there were still the dark days and plenty of it. Recovery doesn't take a day, a week, or a month, especially how broken she was. But she believes that one day she'd be able to stand up on her own two feet, once again.

Placing the baking pan filled with pancetta and eggs, inside the oven. She proceeded to make some hot coco for her and Dr.Skovgaard. It was the only thing she could do to repay his kindness.

For the past few weeks, she had been staying here, he had been the one cooking their meals, and monitoring her health, even sometimes he would say wise things, and counsel her like he was her father that she never had. She was still weak, as her blood lost during her miscarriage was quite a lot. Her anaemia wasn't helping either.

Dr. Skovgaard was a man of a few words, he was more of a doer than a talker, and this is what she had admired about him, as she observed him often. She felt somehow envious towards her two friends; Allegra and Olivia. They have a great father, something she never had, growing up.

Her parents had divorced when she was young, her mother left the custody to her father. Convincing the court. Now her own father, couldn't care about her that much, so he sent her to a prominent boarding school which also functioned as a day school for girls. There she met Allegra and Olivia, and so as the young Dr.Skovgaard.

"You cook?" Dr.Skovgaard said, surprised, upon finding her inside the kitchen on a Friday morning.

"Uhhmmm yess... sir... I do..." she said, realising that Dr. Skovgaard had no confidence in her culinary skills. She couldn't blame him though, it was the first time he had seen her cook.

Isaac Skovgaard was a gourmand, according to his own daughters, even doing some food critiquing for a famous food magazine. And Diana witnessed this for herself, with the dishes he prepared and cooked for their meals.

However, what Isaac didn't know, that Diana was a gourmand herself.

Isaac smiled, as Diana passed him the hot cocoa she had just made.

"So what is for breakfast?" he said, sounding a little more encouraging.

"Pancetta baked eggs..." she said, his eyes widened in surprise.
