Cory’s surgery went on for six hours and thirty-seven minutes. When the doc stepped out of the operating room,
everyone hopped up and hustled over.
“You all can chill, the surgery went smoothly. Now it’s just about watching his recovery.” The doc said.
“Thank you so much.” Rosalynn quickly thanked.
The doc tipped his hat, then turned and left.
“He’s gonna be alright.” Wayne comforted Rosalynn in a soft voice.
Rosalynn looked at him, her eyes brimming with a smile as she nodded.
In the following days, Cory’s recovery went well. Even if there was a small hiccup, Rosalynn and Wayne would be on
top of it. During this time, though there were some bumps in the road, they safely navigated through each one.

Ivy ran up to Cory and asked him, “Brother, are you feeling better?”
“Yeah, your big bro will be home soon.” Cory nodded in response.
Ivy excitedly said, “Your room in the new house is all set up, and I even drew a picture for you! When you’re better,
we can go see it together!”
Cory nodded again in agreement.
“Also, Granny Hilaria will come to the new house with us, she loves it too!” Ivy excitedly said.
Then Ivy started to babble to Cory about her recent days. Rosalynn watched them from the doorway tears welling
up in her eyes.
Wayne walked over, and Rosalynn glanced back at him. “Look at her, she won’t shut up as soon as she sees her
brother. We’re not chatterboxes, who does she take after?”
Wayne chuckled, “Maybe me, I was a chatterbox when I was a kid.”
Rosalynn rolled her eyes at him, “You think everything about your daughter is inherited from you, don’t you? Don’t
flatter yourself.
In the week since Cory’s bone marrow transplant, it seemed that Wayne and Rosalynn’s relationship had gotten
closer, at least they could freely joke around now.
“It’s just being realistic.” Wayne insisted.
Just then, Rosalynn’s phone buzzed. It was a message from Steven. He checked in on Cory’s condition every day.
“Madam, is the kid doing alright today?” Steven asked.
Rosalynn replied, “All’s good. How about you?”
“I have an exam today and I’m not fully prepared,” Steven responded.
Rosalynn replied, “There’s still time, study hard, you can still pull up your grades.”
Steven nodded.
“He’s a good listener.” Wayne commented lightly.

hometown. I told Steven that they have nothing to do with Luis. But Luis might still give Steven trouble.”
After this incident, Luis might not dare to mess with Rosalynn and Wayne anymore, but he might still trouble the
Harvey family.
“Then don’t go back to that place.”
Wayne had a rough idea. The town was underdeveloped, resources were scarce, and the mindset was
conservative.
Even though there were some big companies that set up factories nearby, young people like Steven and his sister
didn’t really benefit from it.
“I really don’t get what they’re thinking,” Rosalynn murmured.
Steven had told her yesterday that his health was no longer a major issue, and he wanted to find a new place to
move out.
His whole family was trying to avoid using her resources. Sometimes, dealing with overly cautious people like this
could be tiring.
“Right,” Rosalynn glanced at the time, “Today, Peyton’s relatives should have been released, right?”
