Chapter 429
All preparations for the bone marron Hamplant were completed. The surgery was schrilled far the day after tomorrow.
That night, Conner woke up feeling touch better: The medication had mestly worn eff
The next morning. Stenna and Commer went to see Lucas for a final consultation.
Since everything had already been discussed, this was more of a formality. Finally, they signed the consent forms
Conner followed Sienna as they left the doctor’s office. “I haven’t seen joyer for days. I miss her”
As the door opened, Joyce’s laughter rang out. “Hehe… That tickles, Mr. Flyon”
Josh was here.
Sienna was stunned. She hadn’t expected him to be out of bed.
Hearing moventent, Josiah looked up and nodded. “Traque to see)
e love?
Josiah had come over the moment he was able to move. He hadn’t even freshened up, and his face was rough with stubble. Playfully, he rubbed it
gainst Joyce’s delicate fare, making her giggle.
Sienna smiled and asked. “Feeling better? Is it okay to move around like this!”
“Tin fine. Josiah answered. “I barely feel anything now”
“Mr. Flyun, are you sick?” Joyce seemed to understand and anxiously tagged on his sleeve.
Josiah chuckled and tapped her tiny nose. The moment I see you, I feel all better.”
“Really!” Joyce asked.
“Yes, Josiah assured her.
“Joyce” Sienna reached out to her daughter. “Time to eat something She hesitated, then turned to Josial. “Have you eaten? Join us.”
A subtle wave of emotion passed over Josials: “Sure.”
“Yay! Mr. Flynn, carry me!” Joyce immediately stretched her arms toward Josials.
“Hmph,” Sienna pretended to be upset. “You just like Mr. Flynn now, huh? Fine, let him carry you then” She glanced at Conner, Let’s go get breakfast
Breakfast was sumptuous. Para even prepared soup and brought it over from Sunshine Neighborhood. A bone marrow transplant was a major procedure, so replenishing nutrients was essential.
Sienna served the soup to Joyce and Conner. Finally, she placed a bond in front of Josiah,
Josiah listated Soup for me too? As an uninvited guest, he doubted Tara had made extra for him. He shook his head and said, ‘Give it to Joyce instead.
Sienna chuckled. “Don’t worry, she’s not missing out. This is mine. You need it more than I do. Just drink in”
She gave hers to me Josial stared at Sienna with calm restraint, his voice slightly hoarse. “Okay”
He lowered his head, and the steam rising from the soup clouded his vision. He knew that Sienna was grateful to him, but her thoughtfulness still made his heart race, stirring indescribable canotions in his chiest.
The surgery went ahead as scheduled. Josiala came carly, and Joyer was already awake. Her eyes blinked wide as she threw herself into his arms. “Mr. Flynn, you’re here!”
“Of course” Josiah held the little girl. “Today is very important for you
“Mr. Flynn..” Joyce lay on his shoulder, her voice mulled.
“Yes” Josiah stroked her hair, already sensing what was on her mind. Lowering his voice, he reassured her, “Don’t be afrail Joyce. Follow the nurse.

close your eyes, and take a linke nap. When you wake up
Joyce looked up, blinking her eyes. “Will you wait for me outside?
“Of course,” Josiali nodded without hesitation. “I promise. I’ll be right here the whole time“.
Just then, Sicama walked in.
“Mommy!” Jovice wriggled out of Josiales arms and rushed toward her.
“Hey,” Sienna caught her, laughing in surprise, “What’s wrong? You have Mr. Flynn with you, and you still want Mommy!” “Mommy,” Jeyer smuggled into Sienna’s neck, her voice a little hoarse. “Tus not scared, so you don’t need to be scared either? Sienna froze, and tears welled in her eyes. She quickly looked up, blinking to hold back the tears, “Okay, we aren’t afraid “Mommy Joyce curled her pinky. “Let’s make a pinky promise”
“Okay” Sienna smiled through her tears and booked her pinky around Joyce’s,
“You must keep your word,” Joyce said.
All right” Sienna choked out, pulling Joyce into a tight embrace.
With everything ready, Conner and Joyce were taken into the operating room.
The surgery w
was expected to take about six hours.
Cedric and Rosic came over, but since the procedure was long. Sienna asked them to leave after Joyce was taken into the
operating room
Cedric glanced at Josiah in the distance. Ever since he had told Sienna about Josiah’s past, he wasn’t sure whether they had reconciled. But this was the time to ask
He nodded, not insisting on staying. After all, Joyce’s parents were there, and he wasn’t anyone special to Sienna or Joyce. Staying might only add pressure or her
Til head out and come back tonight, Cedric said.
Rovit a
agreed. I’m working a double today but getting off early. I’ll come over after. Let me know if you need anything”
“Okay. Go on, don’t be late. Sienna said.
After they left, only Josiah Sienna, and the two caregivers Josiah had hired remained–one for Joyce and another for Conner,
Sienna sat on the couch and checked the time—it wasn’t even 10 am. She told herself to be patient. Closing her eyes, she prayed. Please, let Joyce and Conner be safe.
AL noost. Tara brought lunch. Sienna and Josiah had little appetite, picking at their me
meals, neither bothering to persuade the other to eat more
At 1 pun, Conter was brought out first from the operating room. Since he was the donor, his operation was shorter.
“Sienna.” Coutier was conscious, but still groggy from the anesthesia.
“Conner, how do you feel Sanna held his hand…
“Tim fine, just sleepy he responded.
A nurse explained, “He’s stable, We’ll take him straight to the inpatient room
“Okay, thank you” Sienna sighed with relief and followed Conner and the nurse back to his roant.
Although she was worried about Joyre, she couldn’t neglect Conner either.
“Conner.” To Sienna’s surprise. Tania wa
was waiting at the door. Seeing them, she immediately rushed over.
Her eyes reddened at the sight of Conner lying there. She glared at Sienna.
“You did it. Got exactly what you wanted, didn’t you?” Tania
snapperd
Sienna had no interest in arguing. She turned to Conner. “Get some rest. I’ll check on you later”
Conter understood. “Sienna, go ahead. Don’t worry about me”
“All night” Sienna nodded, insinacted the caregiver to look after him, and then returned to the operating room.
Two hours later, the surgery was over. Joyce was brought out.
