Chapter 435

"Mr. Flynn!" beamed Joyce when she looked up and saw Josiah behind them. "Are you here for me?"

"Of course." Josiah gazed tenderly at Joyce's delicate features.

"Since I promised you, I'll definitely fulfill it," he added as he extended his arms toward Joyce. "How about I hold you?"

Joyce didn't agree immediately but looked at Sienna questioningly. "Mommy..."

Sienna gently smiled and let go of her hand. "Go ahead." She handed Joyce over to Josiah.

Holding Joyce close and kissing the top of her head, Josiah cajoled, "You can lean on me. I'll carry you back."

Joyce nodded. "Okay."

Conner was impatiently waiting near the widely opened inpatient building door. He had been discharged from the hospital two days ago. Knowing that Joyce would be discharged from the sterile isolation unit today, he came here specifically to see her.

Seeing Josiah with Joyce in his arms from afar, Conner immediately greeted them. "Joyce!"

"Uncle Conner!" cried out Joyce.

Conner stretched out his arms toward Joyce. "Come here."

"Okay," she chirped. She went from Josiah's arms to Conner's.

"Let me take a good look at you. Well, you do look fine now..." he mumbled. Conner looked Joyce over carefully and asked Sienna, "Joyce is all better now, right?"

Before Sienna could respond, Joyce hugged Conner and chimed in, "Yes! I'm all better now."

She looked up at Conner, her big eyes clear and bright. "Mommy said I'm

all better now because of you. Thank you, Uncle Conner. I love you the most!"

Conner felt a lump in his throat. He chuckled and tapped Joyce's pert little nose. "I love you the most, too, you little charmer."

Joyce might be young, but she was an expert at tugging people's heartstrings.

Soon, they had settled into the inpatient building. Joyce didn't require IV drips anymore and was mainly on oral medication and required monitoring. Which meant having one adult by her side was more than enough.
