Chapter 149 Get Hadley

Out

“Mommy!”

In the hospital room, a sparkle lit up Joy’s eyes,

She gripped the freshly unwrapped gift–a rare edition plush toy–with delight.

“Thank you, Mommy! I absolutely adore it!”

“Are you happy?” Hadley stroked her daughter’s hair with affection.

“Yes! I am!”

Joy’s expression radiated pure joy, and Hadley’s heart swelled with happiness. She managed to keep her tears at bay, choosing instead to beam back at her daughter.

“If Joy is happy, Mommy is happy too.”

Colleen approached with a glass of water. “Take a drink. You must come straight from the airport, right?”

Aware of Hadley’s arrival, she had hurried over from her department.

Colleen, an intern doctor at this hospital and a PhD candidate at the University of Blathe’s medical school, took

special care of Joy.

This allowed Hadley to travel back to Srixby without concern in the first place.

“Colleen, your help during this time has been immense.”

Hadley expressed her gratitude, even though she felt mere words were never enough.

“Mm,” Colleen responded with a raised eyebrow and a reassuring smile. “I’ll accept your thanks, but don’t let it

burden you.”

“Alright.”

Hadley chuckled softly.

That was typical of Colleen; she had a way of helping others without ever making them feel beholden.

“Hadley.”

76.

Taking Hadley’s hand, Colleen looked over at Joy, who was absorbed in her play, and spoke in a hushe “Mathias isn’t around today, so I thought I should tell you–the surgery is set for the next few days. He’ll confirm the details with you shortly.”
