Chad also gave his mother strength, “Mom, who in this world doesn’t face a few bumps and bruises?
Once you get through it, everything will be fine. Be strong.”
Coleen wiped away her tears, turning to her son. “Chad, Molly has been in the hospital for several days
now. Bring her home tonight so she can get a good night’s sleep.”
“Mom, I want to stay in the hospital with you. I won’t be able to sleep at home.” Molly said.
Chad stood by his sister, gently squeezing her wrist. “Alright, Mom. Dad will stay with you in the
hospital tonight.”
Coleen nodded.
Molly recognized the gentle reminder from her brother’s touch and didn’t say anything else. She knew
that her parents wanted to talk privately that night.
After the family of four had dinner together at the hospital, Chad left with Molly around eight o’clock.
When they stepped out of the hospital, a cold wind blew. In late autumn, it was warm during the day but
chilly at night.
Molly tightened her light jacket. “Chad, the weather’s changing. We need to get Mom some warmer
pajamas.”
Chad hugged his chilled sister. “How’s Mia?”
Molly replied, “She’s getting admitted tomorrow. There are a lot of people over there, and I’ll visit her
later.”
Chad’s job wasn’t like others’. Coleen’s illness came suddenly, and he couldn’t prepare himself in
advance.
Molly understandingly said, “You and Dad just focus on work. I can take care of Mom.”
In the hospital, only the couple stayed in the room. Coleen couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore.
She broke down in tears.
Kendrick sat by her bed, holding his wife. “We’ll cure whatever illness you have. Don’t be scared. We’re
all here for you.”
Coleen cried out, “Kendrick, we have so much unfinished business. Molly is still studying, and there’s
not even a hint about Chad’s wedding. I’m scared.”
Kendrick said, “After the operation, you’ll still be in charge of the company. You’ll be the one worrying
about Chad’s wedding. Molly still needs your guidance. Don’t scare yourself. Medical technology is so
advanced now, and we can cure anything.”
In the following day, Chad and Molly each brought a few pairs of pajamas to the hospital for their
parents.
Molly noticed the time. Mia should be arriving at the hospital, so she went downstairs to meet her.
The Cedillo family’s car stopped, and a group of people got out. In addition to the Cedillo family
members, the whole Irvin family also came.

Cooper stood beside his sister, advising.
Mia replied, “You seem sure, as if you’ve given birth before.”
Leo also brought Anya with him. He saw Molly, who had arrived earlier at the hospital without her
brother Chad. He wondered why Molly didn’t come with him, and why she was here even earlier than
them? Leo looked at the hospital behind her, suspecting the worst.
The whole group entered the hospital. Mia was surrounded like a celebrity on tour. She was just here
for delivery, just in advance. But both the Cedillo and Irvin families were worried as if she would give
birth at any moment. Even her husband, Andre, got pushed to the back of the crowd.
“Molly, when did you get here?” Mia asked.
Molly answered, “I’ve been here for a while.”
Molly accompanied Mia to her room. Mia sat on the bed, surrounded by the chatter of her mother and
Naomi, interspersed with Cooper’s ignorance.
Aaron and Andre went to find the doctor. Hansen, who was leaning on his cane, went around the
rooms in the hallway to look at the newborn babies.
Leo called Molly out, and his little tag-along, Anya, immediately followed. “Anya, why are you following
me?”
Anya replied softly, “I want to be with you. Wherever you go, I’ll go.”
Molly scolded her nephew, “Be gentle with Anya.”
Leo, not avoiding the question, asked Molly, “Auntie, what’s going on with the Byrne family? Is
someone sick?”
Molly thought of her mother’s suffering. Her eyes welled up with tears. She wiped away the tears at the
corner of her eyes, and said in the hallway, “Leo, my mom has breast cancer.”
Leo was shocked. His eyes widened. “Why didn’t you tell us earlier?”
Molly replied, “She was just diagnosed yesterday.” After a pause, she looked at Mia’s room. “Leo,
Anya, I’ll be spending most of my time with my mom, so I won’t be able to be with Mia as much. Please
come and keep her company when you can. She’ll probably be scared and cry.”
Mia knew her best friend well, and Molly knew her just as well.
Anya reassured her, “Don’t worry Auntie. Little Leo and I will frequently come to keep Auntie Mia
company. Your mom will be okay too.”
Molly nodded. “Then I’ll go to see my mom first. She probably needs to change her IV.”
After Molly left, Anya looked up at Leo, and Leo looked down at her. As their eyes met, Anya said,
“Little Leo, should we tell Andre and Mia?”
Leo said, “Let’s not say anything today. We’ll go take a look at the situation later.”
Anya obediently said “Okay”, and then stayed less than a meter away from Leo.
Mia’s room was filled with joy.
Mia was worried. “I’m scared he’ll be ugly.”
Cooper said, “That’s impossible. They say nephews look like their uncles. With my genes, he can’t be
ugly.”
Suddenly, Mia noticed the quiet girl behind Leo and asked her brother, “Cooper, do you remember
Anya?”
Cooper looked back at the girl behind Leo. “No.”
“Anya still remembers you. During the first year math competition, you took her first place.” Mia said.

Cooper quipped, “Isn’t it normal for people to remember champion?”
Mia was silent. Knowing her brother well, Mia understood what Cooper was trying to say. He couldn’t
remember who came in second place, and that was normal.
Anya pursed her lips in a reserved smile. Her chubby cheeks blushed slightly, showing a hint of
embarrassment.
Leo’s protective tone was overly obvious. “Anya’s getting second place is already very good. Who
cares about first or second place? The key is to participate.”
Mia asked, “Do you think your intelligence can outsmart your brother-in-law?”
