Al preparations for the bone marrow transplant were completed.

The surgery was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

That night, Conner woke up feeling much better. The medication had mostly worn off.

The next morning, Sienna and Conner 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 Joyce for days. I miss her."

As the door opened, Joyce's laughter rang out. "Hehe... That tickles, Mr. Flynn."

Josiah was here.

Sienna was stunned. She hadn't expected him to be out of bed.

Hearing movement, Josiah looked up and nodded. "I came to see Joyce."

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 against Joyce's delicate face, making her giggle.

Sienna smiled and asked, "Feeling better? Is it okay to move around like this?"

"I'm fine," Josiah answered. "I barely feel anything now."

"Mr. Flynn, are you sick?" Joyce seemed to understand and anxiously tugged 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 Josiah, "Have you eaten? Join us."

A subtle wave of emotion passed over Josiah. "Sure."
