Chapter 660

Sylvia was always content.

In many families, siblings often quarrel over inheritance, but her grandsons, ever since they were little, had been the picture of brotherly love and respect.

That was the way to ensure the family's prosperity.

The day before Thanksgiving, Gilbert was discharged from the hospital.

Charles took care of the paperwork, Sherilyn and the nurse packed everything up, and David was already waiting downstairs.

Because of Gilbert's accident, the Johnsons hadn't been able to celebrate properly. Making up for it on Thanksgiving was a must.

"We can go now."

When Charles returned, Sherilyn helped Gilbert into his coat.

"Sherilyn." Gilbert looked down at her, knowing they couldn't spend Thanksgiving together as planned.

"The day after tomorrow, first thing, I'll come over for breakfast with you and Jenna. I'll bring her a little bunny lantern," he said, wishing he could invite them over to the Johnson house, but he knew Sherilyn might not be ready for that. Just a little more time was needed. Sherilyn buttoned up his coat, thinking of Jenna's excited face, and nodded.

"Okay, I'll tell her."

Thanksgiving Day at the Southern District Sanatorium was bustling with activity.

Nurse Jane was walking Mrs. Rebecca White in the yard, saying, "Mrs. White, we've put up lanterns all around the yard. It'll look so beautiful when they're all lit up tonight."

Then, realizing her mistake, she hastily apologized, "Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. White."

"It's alright."
