Chapter 1009


    Cory’s surgery went on for six hours and thirty-seven minutes. When the doc stepped out of the


    operating room, everyone hopped up and hustled over.


    “You all can chill, the surgery went smoothly. Now it’s just about watching his recovery.” The doc said.


    “Thank you so much.” Rosalynn quickly thanked.


    The doc tipped his hat, then turned and left.


    “He’s gonna be alright.” Wayneforted Rosalynn in a soft voice.


    Rosalynn looked at him, her eyes brimming with a smile as she nodded.


    In the following days, Cory’s recovery went well. Even if there was a small hup, Rosalynn and


    Wayne would be on top of it. During this time, though there were some bumps in the road, they safely


    navigated through each one.


    On the sixth day, Hria came to visit Cory with Ivy.


    Ivy ran up to Cory and asked him, “Brother, are you feeling better?”


    “Yeah, your big bro will be home soon.” Cory nodded in response.


    Ivy excitedly said, “Your room in the new house is all set up, and I even drew a picture for you! When


    you’re better, we can go see it together!”


    Cory nodded again in agreement.


    “Also, Granny Hria wille to the new house with us, she loves it too!” Ivy excitedly said.


    Then Ivy started to babble to Cory about her recent days. Rosalynn watched them from the doorway


    tears welling up in her eyes.


    Wayne walked over, and Rosalynn nced back at him. “Look at her, she won’t shut up as soon as she


    sees her brother. We’re not chatterboxes, who does she take after?”


    Wayne chuckled, “Maybe me, I was a chatterbox when I was a kid.”


    Rosalynn rolled her eyes at him, “You think everything about your daughter is inherited from you, don’t


    you? Don’t tter yourself.


    In the week since Cory’s bone marrow transnt, it seemed that Wayne and Rosalynn’s rtionship


    had gotten closer, at least they could freely joke around now.


    “It’s just being realistic.” Wayne insisted.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Just then, Rosalynn’s phone buzzed. It was a message from Steven. He checked in on Cory’s


    condition every day.


    “Madam, is the kid doing alright today?” Steven asked.


    Rosalynn replied, “All’s good. How about you?”


    “I have an exam today and I’m not fully prepared,” Steven responded.


    Rosalynn replied, “There’s still time, study hard, you can still pull up your grades.”


    Steven nodded.


    “He’s a good listener.” Waynemented lightly.


    “Hmm.” Rosalynn put away her phone, looking at Ivy and Cory, “Luis Wall has been sent back to rehab


    in his hometown. I told Steven that they have nothing to do with Luis. But Luis might still give Steven


    trouble.”


    After this incident, Luis might not dare to mess with Rosalynn and Wayne anymore, but he might still


    trouble the Harvey family.


    “Then don’t go back to that ce.”


    Wayne had a rough idea. The town was underdeveloped, resources were scarce, and the mindset was


    conservative.


    Even though there were some bigpanies that set up factories nearby, young people like Steven


    and his sister didn’t really benefit from it.


    “I really don’t get what they’re thinking,” Rosalynn murmured.


    Steven had told her yesterday that his health was no longer a major issue, and he wanted to find a new


    ce to move out.


    His whole family was trying to avoid using her resources. Sometimes, dealing with overly cautious


    people like this could be tiring.


    “Right,” Rosalynn nced at the time, “Today, Peyton’s rtives should have been released, right?”


    Speaking of this matter.
