Lu Jiao silently denied the idea right away. However, she didn't show it. She smiled at the four little ones and said, "Though your dad can walk again, he's not fully healed. It'll take some time."
The four little ones believed her easily.
The fact that Xie Yunjin walked today very much overjoyed the four little ones. Too happy to function, they quickly ran away again to play with Soot and Marble.
Lu Jiao brought breakfast into the living room.
Inside the east bedroom, Xie Yunjin wasn't resting in bed. Instead, he sat before the desk. This time, for the first time, he sat in a chair rather than in a wheelchair. He called out, "Lu Jiao."
Lu Jiao thought he needed something and went inside.
Xie Yunjin stared at Lu Jiao with a huge smile, very different from the calm and aloof face he showed the villagers earlier.
