"That's it, Lucas. Lift the ball like that," a physical therapist said. "Bend your knee. Good job! Now let's have the other knee." The therapist guided Lucas into position and instructed, "Now lift the ball." It was common for post-chemotherapy patients to feel fatigued in the months following the
"But Evan, Sean still has a long way to go. We did not operate on his knee injury yet, because our priority was to stop his internal bleeding. At this stage, he still needs a lot of support," Doctor Hale said, and the man nodded. After that chat with Doctor Hale, Keith and Evan visited Sean while

Lucas was hopping in his seat the second he saw the twins carried by his grandmothers. He said, "I wanna go outside! I wanna go outside!" "Relax, Lucas. I'm pulling over!" Miguel said while driving the car. Evan, Shantelle, and Lucas drove to their home first. A moving truck followed, carrying Lu
Suddenly, Lucas and Lily were ready to leave and work on their itinerary. Scarlett held them back and said, "Before you learn to play drums and play with Lucas' siblings, you need to eat dinner." The kids groaned, encouraging giggles around them. Their party began to indulge in mouthwatering food
### FLASHBACK: TWO DAYS BACK ### The drive home from the hospital was completely silent. Brooklyn was behind the wheel, often sighing in dismay and tears welling in her eyes. It was clear to Sean that the doctor's assessment of his progress disappointed her. Sean's day shift caregiver, Pete, was
"Fuck. Lucas is back?" Lewis indignantly turned to Lily and asked, "Do you know about this?" "Is Lucas really back, Lily?" Lily's mother also asked in shock. All her brothers, except for Liam, asked the same thing. Lily helplessly looked at Liam, and seeing her brother wasn't going to spill eithe
"The aortic stent graft collapse," Doctor Steven reported to the Wright family. "That caused him to faint. So, earlier, we inserted another stent, and he is under observation." "I feel that there is a but coming," Lily's oldest brother, Liam, predicted. Behind him, all of Lily's brothers were givin
"Mommy, are you okay? You have been staring into spaces lately," Aiden asked. Lily was helping her son with his homework. While Aiden wrote his answers in the book, Lily was in a daze. "Sorry, Buddy. Was thinking of something," Lily said. "Are you done?" "Almost. I'm so glad your mission got canc
Liam had introduced Jake to Lily as one of their new contractors. Often, Jake traveled to other cities to make proposals, hoping to get another project for the company. That was why he was in Lockwood. "Lily, my job here will be extended for another week," Jake revealed. "But I'll see you after th

"He is an important person who needs protection. It will be your primary responsibility to oversee his security," the major loudly said to Lily while they were on a military helicopter, flying ten thousand feet above the ground. This was one of those odd assignments. When Lily arrived at the mil
"Somebody has guilt written all over their face," Lily softly commented, seeing her oldest brother, Liam Wright, in the dining area of their home early that morning.

“Lily? My favorite daughter in the world is back!” Lily’s mother, Scarlett, exclaimed. Lily could not help but roll her eyes at her mother’s remark. She responded, “Mom, you can’t have a favorite daughter. I am your only daughter!” Scarlett laughed. Lily’s father, Kaleb, who was sipping tea in th
Of course, what did she expect? He left her without saying anything. So now, he was practically denying their past relationship by pretending not to know her! The truth was, it stung a little. When he disappeared, Lily cried an ocean for him, yet this was how he treated her now? Then again, Lily s
