The next day.Molly woke up early. She tied her long hair up and put on an apron before preparing breakfast for three of her children. The meal consisted of flavorful risotto, baguettes, and some toast."Mommy." Alex's adorable voice rang behind her.Molly stood in front of the dining table as she looked in the direction of his voice. All she saw were three of her babies standing together in their fluffy animal pajamas, hugging their bolsters with a sleepy look on their faces, which made them look even more endearing.Molly's heart softened. "Go brush your teeth and wash your face. Get changed before you eat.""Okay!" The trio said in unison as they ran back to their room. They were done freshening up very quickly and walked out after getting changed before they sat obediently at the table.Knock! Knock!Someone knocked at their door just when they were done eating."I'll get it."Claudia exclaimed as she hopped off her seat agilely and ran toward the door with her tiny legs.
The door opened in an instant!Standing behind the food was Tony.He looked down and saw the triplets as he showed a confused expression. "Oh, it's you, kiddos. What's the matter?""Is Uncle Handsome in?" Alex looked up and asked straight to the point.'Uncle Handsome?' Tony wondered.He paused for a while before realizing that they were talking about his boss. "Yes, he is.""What's going on?"Right after Tony responded, Sean's deep and attractive voice rang behind Tony.Sean had heard the commotion and directed his wheelchair in their direction to see what was happening.The triplets all tilted their head past Tony to look at Sean. Their eyes twinkled as they walked in a straight line and bowed to Sean.Both Sean and Tony were confused by their actions.Sean arched his brows slightly.Alex pursed his lips gently and puffed his rosy cheeks as he said seriously, "Sorry, Uncle Handsome! We would like to apologize for the misunderstanding earlier on. We're the ones who took yo
Tony got the presents ready after a few minutes. He then walked behind Sean as they headed to the house next door.Ding dong!Tony walked up and pressed the doorbell."I'll get it!" Claudia offered to open the door as she knew that it was Sean.She stood on her toes to open the door when she saw Sean sitting in the wheelchair behind the door. "Uncle Handsome, Uncle Tony! Please come in."Claudia brought them in and said obediently, "Lunch isn't ready yet, so please sit over here for a while."Alex was sensible too. He took the initiative to pour Sean and Tony some water and was afraid they would get bored from waiting, so he asked, "Do you want to watch some TV, mister?""I'm good," Tony rejected his offer flatly.Ben already felt close with Sean, so he said, "We'll be neighbors from now, so you don't have to be so prim, mister."Claudia walked on her short legs as she cupped two handfuls of candies with her hands and walked to Sean. She then lowered her voice carefully and wh
Ben and Claudia purposely squeezed in next to Sean, forcefully pushing Tony away. They were extremely welcoming as they scooped the food for Sean. "This shrimp is delicious; these sweet and sour ribs too! These are my mom's signature dishes; you have to eat more of these!""How does it taste?" Ben asked with anticipation.The food on Sean's plate had obviously increased, but he did not look frustrated at all. Instead, he answered them seriously after tasting all of the food, "Not bad indeed."Sean did not answer them half-heartedly because they were little children.The triplets' eyes twinkled when they heard his answer. They were overjoyed.'As expected!''His taste is exactly the same as ours!'Molly felt extremely defeated when she looked at her children, who had changed. 'Though he's rich, you don't have to be this warm to him,' Molly thought.She squinted her charming eyes as she felt that something was off. Mother knows best, so Molly could tell that they had other motive
Sean was stunned when he heard what Molly had said!The tense atmosphere was immediately relieved by her words.He looked at Molly with a frown as he could not understand her motive.Tony was confused as well. "Why?"'My boss is doing just fine, so why is she asking him to lie down all of a sudden?'"To inspect his legs, of course! What else?" Molly said frankly. Her calm expression was, in turn, making them seem like they were overreacting.Tony was relieved as he thought, 'It's not our fault you didn't make things clear. It's natural for us to have our suspicions.' He said, "Alright, then I'll help my boss lie down. Do you want him on the couch or the bed?"He was by Sean's side to give him a hand when it was needed. After all, Molly might not be able to move Sean's 6ft. tall body. Besides, it can save them from an awkward situation too."If it's convenient for you, it's best that we continue in the room. If that's out of the question, the couch is our last resort." Molly tho
However, Sean gave in when he considered that Molly was only doing it to treat him. Just as the saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind," so Sean closed his eyes shut.Unfortunately, Molly did not allow him to forget.She was pressing on different areas on his legs as she asked, "Do you feel anything? Do you feel anything here?""No." Sean's voice was slightly deep as he was extremely upset.'My legs are already crippled!'Molly's endless questions were like a reminder that he was a cripple!After some time, Molly was still asking Sean continuously, and he answered all her questions truthfully, which all had the same context: he did not feel anything.Suddenly, a pang of soreness rushed up to him from his legs. Sean opened his eyes abruptly and said, "That spot just now was sore!"This long-awaited feeling was something that he had never experienced before.A string of laughter echoed.Sean looked in the direction of the voice and realized that it belonged to Molly!She was
Sean's eyes glimmered when he heard their conversation, his hands clenched into fists. Though his expression remained the same, his heart was filled with emotions as the look in his eyes turned deep.'I can finally stand up!'I'm no longer a cripple who can't even walk!At the same time, the triplets, who were quietly standing next to them, walked forward.Claudia was heartbroken when she looked at Sean, so she comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Uncle Handsome! My mommy is the best, so she can definitely treat you!""Yeah, my mommy is amazing! She's been working in this field for years, but she has never failed once! You're spending your money on the right person, mister. You won't suffer any loss!" Ben puffed his chest out as he guaranteed.The way Ben shook his head was amusing as well.Alex was standing next to the bed's headboard, but he remained quiet. He secretly scanned across the bed while no one was watching to see if there was any strand of hair for him to keep. If Alex
However, the whole treatment would be extremely taxing. Molly would have to put in a lot of time and put various types of herbs together to improve his health. Besides, the regeneration of dead nerves was not an easy task, which was nothing less than reconnecting broken bones. Sean might not be able to withstand it.Even if he could, Molly made a rough estimate about the duration of the whole course of treatment, which would last for a year, at least.She was a little taken aback when she realized this factor. 'As expected, it's hard to make a living!'Molly was afraid that she might have to spend every single day with Sean for a year!At that moment, Tony served them some water and fruits. He even got the triplets and some pastries."Thank you, Uncle Tony!" The triplets thanked him.Molly just drank a few sips of water to hydrate and energize herself.The triplets were paying attention to the time as well.As soon as one hour had passed, Claudia took the initiative to exclaim,
