Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Officer Chad, who was fed up with his sister, retorted, "So, my hospitalization is good news for you?"

Molly gave him an annoyingly mischievous grin.

Before long, the couple returned to the room, making the atmosphere a tad more relaxed with the family of four together.

His mother, Coleen, asked, "Why did those two bigwigs drop by today?"

His dad, Kendrick, replied, "They're still investigating Chad's case and the incident in River City. The recent news online has been putting pressure on them, so they had to show up and assure the public."

Molly, turning round to her parents, announced, "I'm not leaving tonight, just FYI."

Coleen replied, "Don't cause more trouble, Molly. Your dad and I will stay in the hospital tonight."

Molly threw off Chad's blanket, took off her shoes, and snuggled her legs into the bed, "You two should leave now."

Mr. & Mrs. Byrne looked at their mischievous daughter in helpless silence.

Chad knew there would be a lengthy debate with his parents if Molly didn't stay. Fortunately, he could take care of himself. So he suggested, "Let her stay. It will make her feel useful, and we won't have to deal with her fussing." Molly nodded approvingly.

Later, Coleen and Kendrick left with a sense of relief. Molly joyously saw them off at the door, watched them get into the car, and then dashed back to the hospital room.

"Guess who's back, Chad?" Molly announced cheerfully, interrupting Chad's thoughts and bringing a smile to his face.

Molly locked the door and started to arrange the couch for the night's sleep. Her excitement about finally being able to lend a hand was infectious, because Chad found himself in a similarly cheerful mood.

"Chad, can you eat watermelon?" she asked.

Chad replied, "I can."
