When She Turns Her Back Novel

Three minutes 377 Summary Sylvia tested Hector by asking a pointed question, only to be taken aback when Hector firmly declared that Teresa was the most important person in his life, even more than himself. This answer deeply upset Sylvia, who had secretly admired Hector since college and struggled with lingering feelings. She felt bitter and confused, especially since Troy also seemed attracted to Teresa, despite Sylvia having saved Troy in the past.

Hector's calm departure to check on Teresa left Sylvia feeling lost and resentful, unable to understand why Teresa held such power over the men around her. That night, Yolanda stayed up late, feeling neglected as her father, Charles, had gone to Ternton without her. Sharon tried to care for Yolanda by drying her hair, but Yolanda's impatience and frustration led her to snap at Sharon and insist on calling her father herself.

During the video call, Yolanda expressed her displeasure at not being included in her father's visit to Naomi and revealed her reluctance to see her mother, Teresa, blaming her for an incident on the stairs. Charles was confused by Yolanda's sudden change in attitude, recalling how just days before she had been longing for her mother's presence. Despite Yolanda's harsh words, she still asked Charles to tell Naomi she missed her and wanted to be close to her.

Charles, troubled by Yolanda's conflicting feelings and behavior, reflected on the possibility of her having pushed Teresa but quickly dismissed the thought as absurd. After smoking a cigarette to clear his mind, he visited Naomi in the hospital, where she was resting after a car accident. Their conversation was gentle and caring, with Naomi acknowledging Charles's hard work and Charles expressing relief at her improved condition.

When Charles mentioned Yolanda's call, Naomi smiled warmly and immediately called Yolanda back, sharing a tender moment that contrasted with Charles's inner doubts about the family's strained dynamics. Later, Charles found himself scrolling through his messages with Teresa, feeling an unusual urge to reach out to her. He sent a simple text asking how she was doing, but Teresa did not respond, leaving Charles waiting anxiously. Meanwhile, Teresa lay in her hospital room, her thoughts consumed by Troy's teasing and playful presence in her mind.

Despite her efforts to push him away, Troy's mischievous image lingered, taunting her with affectionate and provocative words, highlighting the emotional turmoil she was experiencing.
