Chapter 742: Austin Stands Up

The Dyer family had a rare day together at home, as Elsa was not working. The atmosphere was tense as they all sat around Austin, who was in his wheelchair. Even young Sally's eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness. Only Tina and Jared remained calm, standing to the side.

"Try it, push down on the arms of the wheelchair and stand up," Tina encouraged.

Austin took a deep breath, his gaze meeting Tina's hopeful eyes. The girl's slight smile, relaxed as if she had foreseen the outcome, steadied Austin's nerves. He clenched his fists and inhaled deeply. Elsa stood rigid, silent, her clenched hands behind her back betraying her tension. Her in-laws had tears in their eyes and were trembling.

Sally stepped forward and leaned against Austin.

"Dad, you can do it," she encouraged.

"Okay," Austin replied solemnly, gently pushing his daughter away. He placed his hands on the wheelchair as Tina had instructed and gradually applied more pressure.

"My God!" Elsa exclaimed in shock, covering her mouth as tears instantly began to fall. Until today, she had never imagined that this man, who spent most of his time in a wheelchair except when sleeping, could one day stand before her again. Even after meeting Tina, she hadn't harbored much hope. But now, at this moment, he was actually standing, albeit unsteadily, something she had never dared dream of before. Austin was even more excited.

"I... I'm really standing? Am I really standing?!" he exclaimed.

"Do you see? Our son, our son is standing up! This is wonderful, absolutely wonderful!" exclaimed Mrs. Dyer, her face wrinkled and soaked with tears.

Mr. Dyer, barely holding himself together, added, "You see! Miss Reed, thank you. Without you, who knows what our lives would be like now. You are truly a blessing to our family." Mr. Dyer began to kneel in gratitude, but Tina quickly steadied him.

"Mr. Dyer, please, there's no need for that. Elsa is my benefactor, and I'm merely repaying her kindness."
