wow. how bad everything that happened to Belle Madeleine, with her mother in law, there are definitely some mothers in law that are not to be trusted, she got the worst one. But as they say when they do things right, good things happen, she unknowingly did good and what she got back was a miracle.
The good thing is that you will return to your home sweet home.
I hope the trip doesn't become tiresome even though you are saying it, I wish the whole trip will be a happy one for both of you.
