Chapter 869

Hayes's eyes sparkled with determination as he glanced back at the printer.

Up ahead, Jocelyn walked hand in hand with Manley. Noticing that Hayes had fallen behind, she turned around and called out, "Hayes, what are you daydreaming about?"

Hayes looked up at her, his face earnest. "Grandma, I suddenly don't want to go... It's so hot outside..."

Jocelyn glanced out at the sweltering sunlight beyond the doors. The heat was oppressive. She smiled and gently patted Hayes's head. "Then why don't you head back to your room and find your mom, okay?"

Hayes nodded obediently.

Jocelyn chuckled, shaking her head at the pair. "Alright, but you two stay put and don't go wandering off. I'll be right back. Do you want me to bring you anything?"

Hayes shook his head. "No, I'm good."
