And after Mrs. Landon was discharged from the hospital, Edward Quinn hadn't set foot in the Landon Family home, but he would wait outside the Landon mansion every day.

Mabel Quinn couldn't bear to watch any longer, worried about her father's health, so she said, "Dad, why don't you take care of yourself first? Maybe when mom's condition is more stable, I can talk to her about it, and she might be willing to see you?"
"Whether she's willing to see me or not, being able to watch over her like this now is something I've yearned for in the past," said Edward Quinn.
Mabel looked at her father somewhat blankly; at the very least, the expression on his face while saying these words was one of happiness, as if this life of merely catching glimpses now and then was truly joyful for him.
