At that moment Mark stared at her, stunned. But more than anything, he was moved.
He didn't want to say anything that would make her feel like he doubted her because he didn't. Not for a second. He had known Cecilia for too long. He had seen what she could do when she set her mind to something.
She was fire and focus. Once she locked her heart onto something, she gave it everything.
And now… she was a doctor a mother, a warrior.
He smiled, slowly. "I believe you," he said, his voice low but firm. "I've always believed in you, Cecilia. You've always been one of the most determined women I've ever met. I mean when it came to business, you were unstoppable. Deals, decisions, strategy you handled them better than half of my board members."
He chuckled lightly, shaking his head. "So if you say you're a doctor now… I believe you'll be one of the best."
Cecilia's smile deepened, touched by the way he said it.
